Single of the Day: M-Phazes x Ruel “Golden Years” (2017)

More like the golden touch. Horrid puns aside, if you haven’t heard the new M-Phazes tune, you need to today. There had been solid buzz about the award-winning producer’s latest foray into the studio with young Australian artist Ruel – the vocalist is 14, mate – but the final result is something of polished and refined electronic-driven pop….

Whilst the general consensus is that the Marvel cinematic universe as a whole is one of the more consistent entities for audiences and critics alike, their track-record for delivering underwhelming sequels (at least compared to their predecessors) is hard to quarrel against.  Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World, and Avengers: Age of Ultron are all…
