Here’s our review.

Lyzza, ‘Blush Me Out!’

Maximalism is something that multilingual artist Lyzza is a fan of, but on her new mixtape
Mosquito there are moments where increased breathing space allows songs to form more
solid shapes. This is a good thing as Lyzza is a talented writer and tracks like the Rihanna-
adjacent ‘Blush Me Out!’ scream for repeated plays.

Taylor Swift, ‘Maroon’

Bass booms and droning synth lines encase Taylor Swift’s icy, minor key and lower register
vocals, marking a return to elegant, creative pop and a whole album produced by Jack
Antonoff. Major bops are not necessarily a thing here and instead mood and mid-tempos rule
the track list with more fantastically dark insights into the Swift psyche. Maroon does not
disappoint.

Darren Hayes, ‘Feels Like It’s Over’

Homosexuality is a creatively ambitious and deeply personal record that Darren Hayes has
always wanted to make but felt as though he couldn’t. Hayes’ fifth album as a solo artist,
Homosexuality sits sonically as a kind of spiritual sister to Madonna’s Confessions on a
Dancefloor with a pinch of PSB and classic Kylie thrown in for good measure – and it is very,
very good. ‘Feels Like It’s Over’ feels like this new phase is just beginning.
Tove Lo, ‘Grapefruit’

The stance that Tove Lo takes here is interesting on several levels. A unique take on a dance
track, ’Grapefruit’ is an elegantly stomping electro-banger but which lyrically allude to Lo’s
perception of her own weight issues and which aren’t remedied by the current body-positive
messages. Smart, funky and thoughtful.
