If any of you bothered to read our review of OK Go‘s latest album, you may recall several references to a certain purple individual. These comparisons couldn’t be more evident on the group’s latest single “White Knuckles”. It’s kind of like Purple Rain-era Prince having […]

Album Review: Dru Hill
No one could take Sisqo seriously after the “Thong Song”. Frankly, most of the world wouldn’t have minded forgetting him after that ridiculous ode to ladies with whale’s tails, but unfortunately his solo ventures had the adverse effect of damaging the very group that launched […]
Who Would You Rather?: Musician Edition
Although their music is quite different, both Jack Johnson and Usher have achieved considerable success on the Billboard charts. Most recently, Johnson topped the album charts with his new release To The Sea, while Usher is fresh off a number one single with his hit […]
Aural Only: Kylie Minogue
Dance! It's all you'll want to do when you hear Kylie Minogue's latest single "All The Lovers". With the assistance of Stuart Price and Kish Mauve, the Australian pop star has crafted a tune that you're sure to hear blasting in gay clubs all summer […]
Aural Only: Robyn
The Scissor Sisters aren’t the only ones taking their dance music to a darker realm. Swedish pop star Robyn debuted the first official single from her new mini-album Body Talk Part 1, and it’s a far cry from her upbeat hype track “Fembot”. With an […]

I'm conflicted on the idea of David Guetta and Kid Cudi collaborating together for "Memories". In the right hands, a David Guetta beat can be quite magical. We learned this last summer when he worked with Kelly Rowland for "When Love Takes Over". But in […]
Aural Only: Ellie Goulding
Last night a DJ saved my life. Well, actually it was yesterday morning. And it wasn't so much a DJ as a fellow blogger who tipped me off on this amazing new song from English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding. It's called "Starry Eyed", and it'll be […]
Album Review: Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky by OK Go
Once upon a time, OK Go was nothing more than a somewhat obscure band who churned out anthemic, frat boy-friendly rock jams. Then they hopped on some treadmills and became internet superstars with their innovative music video "Here It Goes Again". And for their third […]
Aural Only: Roisin Murphy
Roisin Murphy's last single "Orally Fixated" didn't even make it past the Weekly Top Ten, but that won't be the case for her newest release "Momma's Place". This song is so good that it'll skip the Wild Card round altogether! Whether you like it or […]
