nomad - Album Review: Can You Feel It?
nomad soared into popularity with their catchy infectious
pop tune Oh My My in 2016. After their song reached gold sales and they were
nominated for Best Newcomers at the NZ Music Awards they are back with their
debut album Can You Feel It?
Stated by producer Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins) this album has
been a “process of discovering” for Aasha, Will and Cullen. The album features
songs from each of them along with two written by the talented Hollie Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins).
Listening to their album it is clear to hear the maturity
emitting from their music. The album has become an audible representation of
nomad developing and understanding who they are as artists. They have embraced elements
of vulnerability and rawness to create honest and emotive tracks that I believe well
surpass their age.
They have used this album to grow musically and are playing
to their artistic strengths. Utilizing their array of vocal types in harmonies,
each song has a unique story to tell and is its own little gem. They use each
one of their voices perfectly sorted to their vocal range and style and I do
not find one steals the lime light from the other. Each one of them is allowed
their chance to show their talent and bring their own flair.
I am interested in knowing which song they will choose to be
released as the next single from the album as each track has the capability to
stand alone in the charts. My personal favourite to see played on the radio
however would have to be All of My Heart, with its catchy pop hook and upbeat
tempo, it’s a turn up load sing along tune for sure.
If you are looking for an album filled to the brim with
ambient full melodies with undeniable catchy tunes, Can You Feel It? is the
album for you. It is clear the boys are taking their musical career very seriously
and I look forward to seeing what they do in 2018.

Annie J - Single Review: Whenever You Leave Me
31 Mar 2019 // by Ria Loveder
Annie J’s song Whenever You Leave Me is one that all teenagers can relate to; that relationship that you want to be in, but distance seems to come creeping in. The lyrics are mature beyond her years and at the young age of 15; she’s showing that she has the writing capabilities to produce mature, insightful music.

Ha the Unclear - Single Review: Wallace Line
08 Apr 2018 // by Ria Loveder
My music taste over the past year has changed a wee bit, and I am loving music that harks back to the 80's, and Ha the Unclear do just that. Their eccentric sound is filled with unconventional retro alt-pop music making them the perfect backing track to the New Zealand summer, pity we have just come into Autumn!
