The artist formerly known as Phatchance - Chance Waters has just released his new single 'Infinity,' the first offering from his upcoming LP. Sticking with the acoustic instrumentals which have earned him much critical acclaim, Chance doesn't rely on a traditional hip-hop beat to drive this song, rather he embraces a beautiful instrumental with some very well-written verses.

Some know him as Dr. House, some as "the guy opposite Fry", while others just know him as Hugh Laurie... but few know him as a musician. Nonetheless, a musician he is, and he has put out a cover of the classic Ray Charles track "Hallelujah, I Love Her So" which seems to get us into the Holiday season every time we listen to it. Here now is the track and two reviews from our contributors. Happy holidays, y'all!

The new track from Oceanics entitled “Chinatown (Is Not Newtown)” is a step up for the Gold Coast band. They are certainly making their mark on the Indie music scene with a good year full of touring.

Eagle and the Worm have had a stellar year, and with their single "All I Know" being one of the true highlights.

Have a listen below and then see what our contributors think of the track!

We know Tara Simmons as a short statured folky songstress who is sweet in all senses of the word. However, her latest single, “Be Gone”, introduces a brand new side to the singer we’ve never seen. It’s a little more edgy, a whole lot less safe and definitely something to be a little intimidated by.

Two worlds collided and formed "Seven Stars"... that is, the new track from chillout supremos Air and Victoria Legrand, distinctive vocalist from Beach House.
