Electric Guest - 'Play With Me' music video.

Making the most of an unexpected opportunity to do a last-minute shoot in a $38 million dollar Los Angeles mansion, Electric Guest have shared a music video for new song 'Play With Me' - lifted from the duo's upcoming album 'KIN' (out October 18th).

About the song, the band's Asa Taccone says: "The song ‘Play With Me’ is about liking someone past the point you should. I grew up in the era of over-the-top, melodramatic music videos so this is my homage to the R&B videos that I loved so much as a kid.”

Review: Ruel - Shed 10, September 2019.

Australian Ruel has been consistently visiting New Zealand for the past few years - and after already playing a sold-out show at the Bruce Mason Centre in May, he returned last night to Shed 10, this time with his brand new ‘Free Time’ EP under his belt, and an even more impressive live show.

Now with a larger catalogue of songs, Ruel played a mix of old and new, opening with ‘Dazed & Confused’, and later mixed up new EP song ‘Real Thing’ with Frank Ocean’s ‘Pink Matter’, which saw him play guitar.

Halsey - 'clementine' music video.

Coinciding with her 25th birthday, Halsey has released new song 'clementine', which arrives accompanied by a choreographed music video also featuring her younger brother Sevian Frangipane.

In the new song, Halsey is torn between feelings of independence and versus co-dependency ("I just need everyone and then some"), which marks a different mindset to the one she sings about in 2014's 'Hurricane' ("Don't belong to no city, don't belong to no man").
