Pop Essentials: Perfume by Britney Spears  Album Artwork/ RCA Perfume by Britney Spears was said to a big ballad ahead of its release, it had this attention towards it. Critics compared her vocals to Gwen Stefani and complimented her for such a heart sore record.  Yeah, it's a catchy song, dreamy almost sounds like real life heartbreak meets fairytale setting love adventure. The first verse is hard hitting yet delicate. Which finds her questioning and trying to convince herself that she's not crazy.  The second verse is filled with desperation and a plea of forget me not. Insecurities spring up to a scorching summer as trying to make excuses and leaning towards denial that it's just paranoia, a mirage when it's actually playing out.  With a balanced out chorus that gives you a takeoff effect yet stays grounded to rather shake things up with a more heartfelt delivery, it's fun and pretty clever as she sings "I'll never tell, tell on myself but i hope she sme...

Avenue Music: Perrie Finds Her Way!  @PerrieHQ On X. You Go Your Way is definitely Her best release. It's such a very vibrant, electrifying anthem that sounds like a choir having an epic vocal Celebration.  Written by: Alfie Russel & Count Counsellor  Produced by: Alfie Russel & Joy Anonymous  Official Artwork. This is her third single from her upcoming debut studio album which has been teased for months. Perrie has worked with artists like Raye, Ed Sheeran who wrote the lead single on the project & we can expect some Pop, Rock and country arrangements from the vocal powerhouse who has one of the most compelling voices in music. You go your way sounds like 80s magic, it's euphoric and has a different flow to it, breaking the tradition of sonic transitions in music and bringing in something different. The song starts off promising with strong vocals to a catchy chorus and keeps a solid groove, it's a dancefloor invitation.  Wit...

Avenue Music: Soft Spun Gold by Dayaway - Youthful & Mature Like Wine! PhotoCred: @dayawayyy on Instagram  They're the hottest band on the music scene and are honestly having some great records so far. Our favourite from their latest EP - Ghost Beach which is available on all streaming platforms ( Spotify Artist Link ) is Soft Spun Gold is such a beautiful dark record with strong radiant instrumentation that sizzles into these hauntingly attractive harmonies and drama. The airy vocals are chill and vibrant bringing in a very soothing and edgy feel which heightens the song.  The chorus feels like those slow motion videos of objects colliding and turning into something artistic as they break/burst. Very reflective and such a gorgeous cut of a record. The sonical style is brings that indie pop sound with some jazzy elements that kick the soul into soothing sweetness. We give it a 5/5. Our favourite moment is definitely the chorus. It offers so much flavor producti...

Avenue Music: Do You Love Me by Sofia Camara   Discovered Her on YouTube and we must say her music really has potential. Especially this recent release which is such a heartfelt ballad that has an edge to it. Released on August 09th. It captures you on a memorable note.  It's more passionate, aggressive with the charged up beat, Sofia showcases some impressive vocal delivery and has a very sad song sounding so cool to singalong to, after listening to it, you're left feeling good. It has a bit of euphoric energy to it. The chorus has her asking her lover if he loves her or not and she questions his motives as he leaves her confused, she wants clarity than to embrace mixed signals which is messing with her.  We cannot wait to see the visual. Hopefully even a remix with a rapper would be a nice touch. We score the song 3.8/5 stars.  The song is available on all music streaming platforms do check it out.
