As Jay Z and Beyonce kick off their long anticipated On The Run tour two of the few artists that eclipse even that duo are preparing for their own joint tour. Eminem and Rihanna are arguably the biggest male and female artists on the planet and this brief but exciting tour could be a high point for … Continue reading
Best of 2013: Best Single 40-31
40) Ellie Goulding – Burn Starting things off is the first #1 hit for one of my favourite artists Ellie Goulding. Originally intended for Leona Lewis (Like every big hit these days) Burn is a proper banger that sounds like a surefire hit, yet still manages to retain the human quality of her best songs. … Continue reading

Grammy Award Nominations 2014: My Predictions
The end of the year is fast approaching, which means one thing; It’s nearly awards season! The Grammy Awards are a guilty pleasure of mine.

Best of 2012: Best Single 10-1
10) Nicki Minaj – Beez In The Trap (Feat. 2 Chainz) My most impassioned relationship of 2012 was with Ms Minaj, an artist who should be my favourite of the era but does everything in her power not to be. Beez in The Trap is a reason for the former those drip drops in the … Continue reading
Best of 2012: Best Single 30-21
30) Little Mix – Wings From that opening smash of brass I was sold on Wings, the sound of Little Mix marching to claim the girl group crown for their own.

Best of 2012: Best Music Video
10) Jay-Z & Kanye West – No Church In The Wild (Feat. Frank Ocean) Kicking off this list of music videos is No Church In The Wild, less music video, and more an accompanying set of images. It’s powerful hearing that massive guitar riff alongside these images of people rioting, it makes the whole song … Continue reading
Best of 2012: Best Album 18-11
18) Rihanna – Unapologetic Some may balk at my including Rihanna’s 7th album alongside some of the albums here, but I must admit Unapologetic has really grown on me since release. It’s her grungiest album yet, with the ballads and hip hop leaning tracks outpacing the pop for the first time. As ballads go, this … Continue reading
