Dilz - Single Review: Wait On You Ft. J.Williams & TY

07 Feb 2018 // A review by ShelleySketch

This song is about being in a toxic relationship and what made it so toxic. The music is somewhat what you would expect, a bit of piano and a hip-hop beat. But the music flows well with the smooth vocals and rap verses. J. Williams provides his smooth vocals to the chorus which breaks up the rap verses from Dilz and TY. Dilz comes in on the first verse, his raps are straight forward and clean with the weight of his words coming through. There’s no surprise TY knows what he’s doing, with his verse also providing a range of flares.

Dilz has provided a simple, yet beautifully shot, lyric video to accompany the release of Wait On You. The video clearly shows the male leaving a toxic relationship with the female. The male character wants to get away but at the same time he seems uncertain if he really wants to leave her. Wait On You seems like it is a somewhat personal track for Dilz. But it is definitely a song I am sure people will relate too.

Wait On You also makes me think of the music by Smashproof and J. Williams that I used to listen too. Dilz is definitely someone to keep an eye on. Regardless of what it is about, Wait On You is a great track

5/5 stars

Times x Two - EP Review: Late Night Legacy
26 Jun 2018 // by ShelleySketch
Times x Two have been somewhat of a staple in the New Zealand festival scene for a while, but they have now stepped up and are showing NZ just how big they can be with the release of their new EP Late Night Legacy. The EP cover art is strong and regal, with Cader and Zee against a rich red background; somewhat of a reflection of the objective of the EP itself, as there are some solid tracks that are sure to blow up.

Thomston - Single & Video Review: Acid Rain
25 Jun 2018 // by ShelleySketch
Thomston has been rather absent from the public eye lately but decided to surprise us by releasing a new single and video for Acid Rain.  The single cover art has somewhat a very retro feel, thanks to the clothing choices of a metallic button up with cream pants used in the image.

05 Jun 2018 // by ShelleySketch
It’s a damp night, it was 8pm and the doors opened. The crowd began to pack in and I’ll admit there was more than I expected.

Mitch James - Single Review: 21
03 Jun 2018 // by ShelleySketch
With his most recent single release in 2017, Mitch James has returned with a beautiful acoustic track entitled 21. The music is a simple accompaniment of a piano and a guitar, with what sounds like a finger snap or clap.
