Hello my bitches! Today i will be reviewing one of the best things to happen in music for a long time, yes I have got my hands Lorde's new album "Pure Heroine" and it has been on 'Heavy Rotation' since i got, so let's get into it, shall we?
The first track on the album is 'Tennis Court' which I mentioned in an earlier post is a great first song, with it's insanely addictive lyrics (similar to 'Royals'), it has some awesome synthesizer and great beat which make this an absolute gem of a song I especially love the lyrics "My head's filling up fast with wicked games/ How can I f**k with fun again when I'm known?" (and the "yeahs" will definately get stuck in your head). The second song is '400 Lux' which is a seriously cool song especially the lyrics to this song like this example “We’re never done with killing time / Can I kill it with you? / Until its veins run red and blue” how cool is this chick? The next song is 'Royals' another that I reviewed earlier and I still don't get sick of it I still belt it out everytime I hear it. I love this song, it is so cool, so now and oh so new. The world needs this instead of the Miley Cyrus twerking crap that is infecting the world at the moment (give that shit a miss and buy this album instead). We then move onto 'Ribs' this song is a killer track with it's slow building intro then it's straight into some awesome lyrics and a beat that almost sounds like a heartbeat, this track is unreal!! One of my favourites on the album. The next song 'Buzzcut Season' is another cool track with a soft intro that goes onto form the perfect backdrop to her voice, great song. The next track is 'Team' this song is another one of my favourites, cool beat, great vocals and even better lyrics especially my favourite line "I'm kinda over being told to throw my hands up in the air" that lyric kicks ass, how many songs tell you to throw your hands up in the air? That's what makes this song so cool, really intelligent lyrics. We then move onto "Glory and Gore" is a darker song on the album and it is so relevant to this day and age, well worth listening to over and over again. We then move onto 'Still Sane' a song in which Lorde's vocals shine, just pure bliss to listen to on this track, another of my favourites. 'White Teeth Teens' has a more upbeat pop feel to it, but it's lyrics about never being a white teeth teen, you know those perfect teens that you just wanted to smash or in my case flick poo at, so seriously cool. The last song is 'A World Alone' which features one of the best lyrics “Baby, the Internet raised us / Or maybe people are jerks” so true and she delivers it in a way that only Lorde can. All up this album is a rock solid debut and is a killer of an album one that I highly recommend especially in this day and age of plastic pop stars and women singers who think that they can just strip off and somehow it will make their music so much cooler, when the reality is they should be more like Lorde, stand and deliver, good music doesn't need nudity, it doesn't need tricks. The lyrics and music will speak for itself. All up I give this a massive 5 and a half shots of whiskey out of 5.

Hello my bitches, today I am reviewing the awesomeness that is Danny Ross. I got into this guy from the OZ version of the Voice, at first I was sceptical, but as the show went on, he just sort of clicked and you realised that he is more rock-n-roll than the pop shit out there. he lives and breathes music. So let's get into the review shall we?
The first song is a classic Led Zep song called 'When the Levee Breaks' now it takes guts to sing a song that Robert Plant has sung, but Danny does it justice, real justice, so cool, so much swagga, I can't knock this classic. The next song is the Lenny Kravitz 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' he does this song justice. I had the privilege of seeing the Kravitz and his dreads live, I even got to shake his hand (maybe I should grow some dreads, for that serious street cred look!), awesome rendition of an awesome song. The next song has so much history for me as it was a song that my old man loved it's called 'All Along The Watchtower' my old man preferred the Hendrix version more than the Bob Dylan, but here Danny Ross does an unbelievable job and it is so cool.
The next song is 'The Joker' made famous by the Steve Miller Band, his version is great, I am loving the songs he picked for the show, it's showed what a cool musician he is. Again this is another cool rendition, Danny sure has some major music cred. The next song is 'Old Man' by Neil Diamond and what a version he does, I actually like this version better! Then we move onto 'It's Time' by Imagine Dragon's this is such a great song that it will become a classic in years to come, and here Danny Ross shows that he has some serious balls and he sings this so well, you'd be forgiven thinking that he actually wrote this song, it suits him so well.
The next track is 'Let Her Go' by Passenger 51 and he does so well playing guitar ( I like singers that can actually play an instrument, it means they are true musicians and not just karaoke like so many are on these shows. He does a cool version. Then we move onto his own song 'Windmill' which starts off slowly and it is a really awesome song, he has done so well, just beautiful it really has an awesome old school rock feel to it, almost in the same vein as Led Zepplin, that's how good it is.
The next song is 'Pockets' written by Ollie Sloan, it is a killer song one of the best on the album, the sparse arrangement makes the song and Danny's voice just so smooth and so cool. the next song is 'Sugarman' by Sixto Rodriguez what a seriously cool song, what an awesome version! The last song is 'Suzanne' by Leonard Cohen, what can I say Leonard Cohen is a god in the music world, and Danny Ross owns this song, what more can I say.
All up this album is a ripper of a CD, so old school sixties/seventies rock updated for today. Danny Ross is a throwback to an era that I thought had died, it is an album that I am giving a massive 5 shots of whiskey out of 5, I highly recommend this album and I can't wait till Danny Ross releases an album of his originals if this is anything to go by it will be UNREAL!
