The change was only fitting after discovering the band’s music and realising it really is a sound that just makes […]
Antimo Magnotta: the music of a survivor
Classical music embodies an ethereal beauty no other genre could come close to imitating. Each composition marrying loss, love, pain, beauty and everything in between to produce timeless music. The genre has a special place in my heart from falling asleep every night to the soothing sound as a child. The genre taught me many […]
Nele Needs A Holiday has created an honest soundtrack for life
When we are being honest with ourselves, life can be a real pain in the ass. Movie and TV portray life to be a struggle with a rewarding end, but we can’t always know that, can we? Life may not be the picture-perfect dream we all want it to be, but two things exist to […]

Discovering Shakespears Sister
‘It was acceptable in the 80s’ is a common phrase coined to excuse the unconventional-ness of the decade. However, it also allowed for many spouts of artistic expression especially in the music industry.

The Broken Islands’ new album Wars
Music gives us the tools that allow us to experience and create something new from combining what has past. The Broken Islands have taken full advantage of the freedom music gives us by resurrecting fallen genres. Genres like trip-hop and dark wave that are endangered and only see the light within niche markets. With a […]
The sensational soundtrack of The Greatest Showman
Sometimes I think about changing this blog from music focused to movie but then I remember, where would movies be without their soundtracks? How would moments be brought to life if not for hair raising scores and poetic lyrics? Musicals portray life, living and history in an over the top, romanticised beauty that we wish […]
Discovering BTS
Sometimes music only needs to be felt to be loved. The connection made through sound alone with the lyrics being secondary.

After being introduced to […]
