SNRXG - EP Review: True Story
Huntly born and raised artist SNRXG keeps the quality tracks
coming with this 6-track EP True Story. Collaborating with top-notch local talent,
the production on all of these tracks is mint. SNRXG exudes confidence and
competence and deserves a lot more airtime for these efforts, hundred
percent.
Venting is crisp, crunchy, and creative. Pouring out his heart and soul, grateful for the medium of music, for self-expression and soul-searching. The material is very relatable and has just the right vibe, for an easy and enjoyable listening experience. It’s tough but real, and heart-felt too.
Clever and punchy lyrics coupled with well-made beats, great delivery, and flurries of creative production value, all working together to keep the listener engaged throughout. Like the reverse snare hits on Outside. This music can easily stand alone, or alongside the quality of any other well-known artist, on any playlist, any day of the week.
The intro on Real Ones has a great impact; soulful and deep. Excellent use of vocal layering and delays. Shout out to Mr. X, Hy-Speed, Driiks, Outloc Da Don, and Tai Mataiti for the collabs on this dope track.
Beautiful piano on 10s Down, and a great message of independence and tenacity. It sounds or feels like maybe a child’s voice is in there somewhere, and this creates such a beautiful imagery of perhaps a father imparting wisdom to a son. Or the innocence of childhood up against the harsh realities of life. Finding a way to survive in this world but doing it with a joy and a positivity that allows one to stay vulnerable, while staying strong at the same time.
That’s the message I get from the whole EP actually. Keeping
a soft heart in a hard world. It’s woven through the EP both musically and
lyrically and it’s really well done. Well done to everyone involved in the
creation of True Story. Don’t stop making music and keep calm and stay cool.

Thomas Powers - Album Review: A Tyrant Crying In Private
01 Jun 2024 // by Cathy Elizabeth
This stunning 14-track debut solo album from Thomas Powers, of The Naked and Famous fame; A Tyrant Crying in Private is intense yet delicate, holding sadness and beauty in equal measure, deliciously gorgeous in all its glitched and distorted goodness. Parts of the album feel very heavy emotionally, particularly the neo-classical instrumental pieces, which have a vast cinematic effect.

Ha the Unclear - Album Review: A Kingdom In A Cul-De-Sac
25 Apr 2024 // by Cathy Elizabeth
If I could choose one word to sum up Ha The Unclear’s recent album release I would have to go with the word “inspiring”. And if I could throw a few more together in a kind of haphazard stream-of-consciousness way, I would add that A Kingdom In A Cul-De-Sac is oozing with creativity, quirky humour, plumbing the depths of musical understanding, and coming back up to the surface with a gift - permission to be one’s authentic self.

Phorrest - EP Review: On My Way
19 Sep 2023 // by Cathy Elizabeth
Tuning into the new EP from Auckland hip hop artist Phorrest, the intro track does well to set the scene for the rest of the EP. But wait, why is the title track of the EP in brackets and labeled Intro (On My Way!

day13n - Single Review: PA1N x SAG3
11 Jul 2023 // by Cathy Elizabeth
Listening to Day13n’s new single PA1N x SAG3 is the stuff of nightmares, with a dark and edgy musicality underpinning the intensely whisper-screamed lyrics. The song is divided into two halves, which nicely illustrates the forces of duality that are at play in the mind of the artist.

This week Will McClean releases Seem Alright, the second track from his upcoming album Don’t Forget To Breathe, alongside an accompanying video clip.

Gig Review: Mel Parsons @ Meow, Wellington - 28/05/2023
30 May 2023 // by Cathy Elizabeth
It’s been a good while since I’ve been to a gig at Meow, Wellington, so the first thing I do is weave my way through the growing crowd to get a good look at the size and layout of the stage. It’s nicely raised and fairly spacious, more spacious than I remembered actually!
