There's something so beautiful yet so seemingly bleak about the way NARDEAN has constructed and crafted 'Nothing Matters'.

Alex Lahey hasn’t been taking care of herself, but if her live show tells us anything, it’s that she’s going to take care of us just fine.

'I Am Here' is an onslaught of energy, fun and complete early morning euphoria, yet Just Shy ensures that nor he or us will ever get tired.

Esmé's 'I Wonder' is one of those rare musical moments that doesn't need a lot to make you want to listen, but you'll be glad you did.

It must be hard for Synead to see us all the way down here, as 'Zenith' is just another way she's managed to take her career to new heights.

It doesn't take long listening to 'Bag' to realise and fully understand that Sophiegrophy is by no means here to play around.

As Essie Holt pulls us in with every note she utters on 'Magnetise', we're confronted with a bleak reality but one we're comfortable with.

When a pop song comes along that's as menacing and commanding as CXLOE's 'Monster', you have no choice but to sit down, shut up and listen.

'Blaze of Glory' sees Anna Lunoe enter 2018 with fire in her heart, her fingers and her voice, as she gives us a dance moment we've been waiting for.

There aren't too many projects from up-and-coming artists that are as ambitious and as complex as simulacra, but STARA makes it look all too easy.

It's a song born in angst and a longing for a peaceful upbringing, but 'Mama Said' emerges as an emotional and beautifully tragic moment for ARIG.

From start to finish, 'Something Bad' proves that Tori Levett is a multi-talented force to be reckoned with.
