I wrote about the live version of Dollhouse, Priscilla Renea’s new single, a few weeks ago and gave it a very positive review, but now I’ve heard the studio version I have to mention it again. The acoustic version was great but you are all going to love the studio version! It most reminds me… Continue reading She ain’t a doll, this ain’t a dollhouse!

I went to see the lovely Aussie popstar Kate Miller-Heidke in London a few weeks ago and did a review for Londonist, but it got a little lost along the way so now I’m posting it here instead… After Lenka’s recent triumphant appearance, Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush played host to yet another quirky Aussie… Continue reading Live review: Kate Miller-Heidke at Bush Hall

I wouldn’t say that anyone who is familiar with the RedOne sound would be surprised by this song, as it… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Lillix – Dance Alone (Listen)I’m so excited: one of my favourite rock-pop groups, who I thought had broken up for good, are back with a new single and album!
