MUSIC NATION: Major Lazer's drops new single "Cold Water" feat. Justin Beiber
Major Lazer teams their synth enthused instrumental with the smooth vocal tones of Justin Bieber, and the folksy accent of the relatively unknown artist MO (Karen Marie Ørsted); to produce the new single “Cold Water”. It seems Major Lazer have tried to recreate the success gained from the Skrillex, Diplo, and Justin Bieber collaboration in mid 2015- Where Are You Now; which skyrocketed to number 1 in Australia, and overseas.

Cold Water harnesses’ the standout R&B vocal quality of Justin Bieber that we have all become familiar with. The Major Lazer-produced instrumental is jam packed with synths, and a slow building bass, which harmonizes well with Bieber’s lyrical delivery. I found the addition of MO, didn’t really add much to the track; the 27 year old Danish native’s vocals seemed out of place within the song.
I’m personally not a fan of Major Lazer, or any kind of dance music, but I believe this is definitely a hit that will please not only Justin Bieber fans (like me) but also the mainstream masses. I still think Justin is at his best with his guitar-in- hand; but there’s no denying Cold Water will be on many people’s summer playlists.

Beauty and the Beast The Musical doesn’t just avoid deviating from the heart of the film; it crystallises the themes, encasing them like the enchanted rose, and makes the revisit feel worthwhile
What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me.
If you can leave your sanity behind and drink the Tim Robinson Kool-Aid, Friendship will be one of the funniest movies you’ll see this year.
Through a blend of music, dance, and spoken word, Child is a performance piece that seeks to reignite within us the joy, curiosity, and freedom that often gets eroded by the demands of life.
And at the centre of it is a marvellous performance by David Corenswet, who infuses this Man of Steel with a beguiling softness and an emotional intelligence.
The film feels earnest, and the performances are sincere enough to carry the runtime.
