“Just Give Me A Reason” brings together the power of two pop music mega-forces with annoyingly stylized names. The song appears on Pink‘s (or, excuse me, P!nk‘s) sixth studio album The Truth About Love, and now, it acts as the follow-up to her most recent […]
I’m fighting so hard to not compare Elli Ingram to fellow Brit-pop-soul singer Adele. I mean, it always drives me crazy when judges on reality TV shows like The Voice or American Idol look at a girl who isn’t a size zero and spurt out, […]
“Beyoncé Silences Doubters With Intensity at Halftime” may sound like a tweet from a devoted follower of The Church of Destiny’s Child, but it’s an actual headline on The New York Times website right now. Look, you can throw your shade all you want: “Madonna […]
The music video for Ra Ra Riot‘s “Beta Love” takes a Flashback Friday approach, utilizing actual footage from a local 1980s Bay Area television program called Dance Party. It’s peculiar how well it works with the energetic dance-pop track, and it’s even more peculiar that […]

Kelly Sweet fits into the same lady-pop genre as, say, Ellie Goulding, Sia or Florence Welch, though you could just as easily draw comparisons to Kate Bush or Annie Lennox. She cites the latter as her largest influence, and this can clearly be heard on […]
Yikes! Does anyone else already miss the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race? After last night’s premiere, I was feeling disappointed that there weren’t any “slap you in the face with their awesomeness” standouts like Latrice Royale or Sharon Needles. I developed slight aesthetic connections […]
Kari Spieler, the lead female vocalist of New York’s Swear and Shake, reminds me a ton of Rilo Kiley‘s Jenny Lewis. That last sentence might mean nothing to 90% of you reading this, but then again, you probably didn’t spend a week of your college […]
As those of you who actually pay attention to our music posts know, I’m rather predictable in my love for sparkly electro-pop with a lot of feelings. Nick Pes delivers hard in that department with his debut single “I Remember”, a guitar-laced and thoroughly ’80s-esque track about summer […]
