Australian folk-pop singer Vance Joy tells the story of a unreciprocated gay crush in the music video for “From Afar”. However, if you think that’s the story here, then you’ve got another thing coming for you. The thing is? Vance Joy is really, really good. […]

Sally Shapiro: “If It Doesn’t Rain”
If you have a few extra bucks (or an account on Spotify), I’d highly recommend checking out Sally Shapiro‘s latest album Somewhere Else. The Swedish singer, along with producer Johan Agebjorn, churned out an impressive set of utterly addictive electro-pop tunes that work especially well […]
Pierre Lapointe + Random Recipe: “La Sexualité”
The music video for “La Sexualité”, Québécois singer Pierre Lapointe‘s collaboration with Random Recipe, is quite possibly the strangest thing I’ve seen all year. Keep in mind that I am a blogger who sits on the internet all day, every day! I’ve watched whipped cream […]
Meg Myers: “Heart Heart Head”
On her brand new single “Heart Heart Head”, Meg Myers channels a raw emotional angst that hasn’t been heard since Tori Amos‘ heyday. At first, you might want to dismiss Meg as another pop music wannabe trying to capitalize on the success of darker offerings […]
Jessie Ware: “Imagine It Was Us”
Well, it’s not even 9:00am on a Monday, and I’m already longing for the weekend. You can blame Jessie Ware‘s excellent new single “Imagine It Was Us”, which merges disco and classic ’90s house elements for a mellow dance track that makes me wish I […]
Florrie: “Live A Little”
Who the fuck is Florrie? I’ll tell you who the fuck Florrie is! She’s a 24 year-old singer, songwriter and model, and as the in-house drummer for production house Xenomania, she’s worked with an exciting roster of artists that includes Kylie Minogue and the Pet […]
CHVRCHES: “Now Is Not The Time”
Glasgow-based trio CHVRCHES fuses together ’80s pop with goth rock on “Now Is Not The Time”, the second single from their new EP Recover. The resulting blend is particularly infectious, making for the group’s most accessible and addictive offering yet (which isn’t saying much, considering […]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Sacrilege”
“Sacrilege” sounds good on paper—Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs wailing passionately over whirling guitars and a backing choir. These are all things my ears like! A lot. Yet despite my extreme weakness for virtually any song with a gospel breakdown, I’ve never rolled out […]
Club 8: “Stop Taking My Time”
Swedish indie-pop duo Club 8 thrive on their musical versatility. They’ve dabbled in everything from bossa nova to trip-hop throughout their career, inviting comparisons to Portishead and The Cardigans at any given moment (yet sounding nothing like either of those bands at any other given […]
Photo Ops: “It Makes Me Cry”
Photo Ops is the current project of Nashville-based musician Terry Price, whose new album How to Say Goodbye came out exactly one month ago. I know, I know! That lead-in isn’t anywhere near as exciting or sexy as 98 Degrees singing about their penises, but […]
