REVIEW: HARRY STYLES' 'KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY'
Styles may flirt with disco, electro and club music throughout the record, but he never loses himself within them.

REVIEW: LORDE MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO SYDNEY WITH HER 'ULTRASOUND TOUR'
Image: Sam Penn. From the moment Lorde appeared on stage at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena, shrouded in lasers that cut through the darkness, she had the arena in the palm of her hand. The singer performed the first of two shows at the arena last night, marking her first shows in Sydney since 2023. There was no bombast for its own sake; every movement, every lighting cue and every camera angle felt deliberate. Her voice, earnest and unwavering, carried the confessional intimacy th

HIGHSCHOOL 'HIGHSCHOOL' REVIEW
Watch our interview with HighSchool below! HighSchool’s self-titled debut arrives already carrying a quiet mythology. After years of EPs that hinted at something larger, and a steady ascent through London’s Windmill ecosystem and international touring, Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott finally commit their vision to a full-length statement. Rather than opting for reinvention, the duo refine what has always defined them: youth as a state of heightened emotion, suburbia as a site o
