Sampling, interpolation, and stealing, you’ve likely heard one of these terms before. All three of these terms are used in the music industry, and they all mean something different. We’re about to go through each and explain along the way! The definition of sampling is, “The technique of digitally encoding music or sound and reusing it as part of a composition or recording.” But what does that mean? Well, to put it simply, sampling is the action of a producer or songwriter us

This week, Leigh-Anne  stepped boldly into her solo era with the release of her debut album My Ego Told Me To , and it is clear from the first listen that this is a project rooted in confidence, growth and freedom. After years as one quarter of Little Mix , this record feels like a declaration. It is playful, sultry, self aware and at times deeply reflective. The album opens its world with “Look Into My Eyes,” a track pulsing with club energy. It is glossy and hypnotic, built

Live music has always been about more than just a setlist. It is memory making in real time. It is community forming between strangers. It is the moment the lights drop and thousands of voices rise as one. When we talk about the tours that define our lifetime, a few stand taller than the rest because of the scale, the emotion, and the cultural imprint they leave behind. From stadium spectacles to era defining pop moments, the tours were not just concerts. They were generation

First up, Lola Young  delivered serious presence with d£aler  live from her Spotify Best New Artist performance. There is something about hearing a song in a live setting that strips it back to its emotional core. The grit in her voice, the confidence in her delivery, the way she commands the stage without overdoing it. It feels raw and intentional. If this is the energy she is bringing into this era, she is not just a name on a playlist, she is an artist stepping fully into

Six60 have just released their brand new album Right Here Right Now , and listening to it feels like sitting on the edge of the moana at sunset, surrounded by your people, grounded in who you are and where you come from. This record is warm, reflective, and unmistakably Aotearoa. From the very first track, “We Made It,” there is a breezy, sun-soaked energy. The lyrics are sweet and quietly triumphant, carrying that humble pride Six60 do so well. It feels like a waiata of grat

Just as the cleaning supplies appeared on her site, so did the spray bottle in this video! This video has a midnights-esque 80s look and feel. The video features the lineup from when Taylor appeared on the Graham Norton show, and even at the end, it breaks the fourth wall to acknowledge this. There are some interesting moments to be noted, such as the contrast between Domhnall Gleeson spraying the cactus but Taylor spraying herself because she thinks she's the problem, but th

Nick Jonas’ new album Sunday Best  is out now, and it feels like a quietly confident reset. This is not an album chasing charts or viral moments. It’s reflective, polished, and emotionally open in a way that feels intentional rather than performative. Sunday Best  plays like a personal journal set to pop production, moving between vulnerability, nostalgia, and moments of pure joy. The album opens with Sweet To Me , a song rooted in nostalgia. It reflects on moments, people, a

For those who don’t know him, Ali Whitton is an Indie folk singer-songwriter. Although he may be quite a traveller, he currently resides just outside of Wellington. When asked if a certain place stands out to perform, he stated, “Actually, sometimes it's a small one, and it's usually because of the crowd. In terms of, like, defining moments, like, I once played…3 or 4 shows in a day in Paris on Fete de la Musique in, like, 30 degree heat, and bouncing, rushing between shows,

This week’s new music does not just soundtrack the moment, it reacts to it. It is political, seductive, soft, angry, and honest, sometimes all at once. From protest anthems to quiet confessions, this is a week that proves pop and alternative music still have something to say. Waterparks come out swinging with ICE , and it feels like the true essence of punk in 2026. Loud, confrontational, and deliberately uncomfortable, the track is a direct diss aimed at ICE and Trump-era po
