In this video, we take a deep dive into the 2023 Autumn Leaves EP from Mckenna Grace — my favourite new find of 2026 so far, a collection of songs that I can't stop playing.

Released in October 2023, this 5-track EP explores themes of love, loss, and self-reflection, blending soft, gentle arrangements with personal, honest and relatable storytelling. Mckenna delivers an experience that feels raw, intimate, and relatable.

In this review, we’ll cover:• Overall sound and production• Lyrics and emotional themes• My relationship with this EP• PLUS my thoughts on the new 'Twisting The Knife' single in collaboration with Ice Nine Kills

Kenny Rogers' 1982 album, Love Will Turn You Around, features the title track which went to #1 in the US and Canadian country charts and also featured in the film 'Six Pack'.

I bought this album a few months ago from a charity shop, and had only played it once. After listening to it far more intently over the past week, I feel more invested in each of the tracks and enjoy listening to this album.

In today’s review, we’re diving into On A Day Like Today, the 1998 album from Bryan Adams. This album shows Adams leaning into a more polished, mature style - without completely abandoning his arena-rock roots.The album nicely blends heartfelt ballads with radio-ready rock anthems. We’ll break down the individual songs and how this record fits into Bryan Adams’ broader discography.Is this an underrated gem in his catalogue? Watch to find out!

Elvis Presley in Concert: Baz Luhrmann's EPiC is a 2025 documentary film about Elvis Presley directed by Baz Luhrmann. In today's episode, I discuss my thoughts on this follow-up to the 2022 fictionalised story of the life of Elvis, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks.

In this video, we take a critical look at Love at First Sting — the massively successful 1984 release that many fans consider a classic. But does it really live up to the hype?

Coming off a great four-album run — Taken By Force, Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism and Blackout — the band started to stagnate on Love At First Sting. Safer, more commercial, and less inspired.

We discuss:

⚡ Why “Rock You Like a Hurricane” carries the album

🎸 The shift toward a radio-friendly sound

🎤 Whether the songwriting feels repetitive or formulaic

🔥 How it stacks up against Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, and Blackout

⭐ Final verdict: classic… or just carried by one mega-hit?

While there are strong moments, this record leans heavily on its biggest single, leaving the rest of the tracklist feeling inconsistent compared to the energy and atmosphere of previous albums.

Why do album reissues change names?You buy an album… only to realise it exists under two or three different titles and completely different artwork. Same album. Different name. Instant confusion.In this video, I show some records in my collection that are reissues, and why this trend is driving collectors like me slightly insane. If you’ve ever looked at two albums by an artist, wondering, “Wait… isn’t this the same album?” — this one’s for you.

In today’s review, we’re diving into Boss Man / The Best of (1972) by Charlie Rich — a fascinating snapshot of the early career of one of country and soul’s most underrated voices. Before the success of Behind Closed Doors, Rich was already blending country, blues, rockabilly, and soul into something uniquely his own. This compilation highlights that raw, genre-bending period .From the dated “Big Boss Man” to the vulnerability in his ballads, this collection captures an artist still evolving but already somewhat distinctive. In this video, I share:

- My first impressions of the album

- Standout tracks and performances

- How it compares to his later, more polished hits (does it hint at what's to come with 'Behind Closed Doors')

- Whether it’s essential listening

Even after several listens, I find myself putting Nebraska back on. No big production. No arena-rock energy. Just Bruce, a guitar, and some pretty heavy stories.Today I’m talking about why this album keeps pulling me back — and why it might be Springsteen’s most powerful record.
