Music Reviews

Music reviews are our speciality here at IZILION.

Our mission is to provide honest reviews, and we do just that while backing up critical points with authenticity.

We have decades of experience reviewing new releases. We use our knowledge of the industry, artists, and personal opinions to create reviews that are not available elsewhere. Luckily for music consumers, new reviews become available every day. Therefore, finding fresh insights and feedback on the hottest tracks has never been easier.

Since the birth of IZILION, there has not been a day without a new track going to our team’s expert ear. Also, we have proven to be consistent with our methods providing the music community with a wide range of reviews from many genres and styles.

Furthermore, we do not endorse one genre over another. But, we generally concentrate on the commercial market, with many reviews being of artists in top chart positions. Nevertheless, we do not exclude new artists and artists who are rising up the echelon. Therefore we allow many artists to shine.

So who pens the reviews we issue on IZILION? We have a specialist review team who have built a wealth of knowledge working within the music industry. Each writer has a distinct style which gives every review we publish a unique edge.

Pop Music Reviews

We are a world-leading publication for the latest and finest pop music reviews. As a result, we invariably aim to be the first to the party when it comes to reviewing the latest hits. Therefore, whatever is flying up the charts is bound to be soaring up our music review sections, with our ears being finely in sync with the hottest pop trends.

Many of our journalists claim that indie music was their first love. As a result, we have team members who dedicate their time to review the latest indie releases, and we keep on top of the latest trends in the indie realms.

The great thing about indie music is that it regularly arrives with a unique edge. As a result, there is always something new to mention and write about. Also, we enjoy coming across new and distinct indie gems. Nevertheless, we generally write about tracks that have only recently been released or are to be released in the future. But, we have countless reviews in our archives showcasing some of the greatest indie tracks to grace our ears previously.

Rock Music Reviews

We are suckers for rock music! Since a young age, our team have been whipping out the air guitar and the passion we had for it as youngsters has never left!
