Canadian duo In Dreams could have a hit on their hands with “Crazy Enough”, if anyone ever bothered to listen. The addictive, high-energy pop tune’s been around for nine months now, and I’ve yet to hear it playing on the radio, getting mixed into DJ […]
Life is hard! As much as I wish I could reach through each of your screens and personally give you a shoulder rub, the best I can do is heal your woes with the power of pop music and naked dudes. The week has brought […]
Laura Welsh‘s “Unravel” is a must-listen for fans of Jessie Ware. The minimal, emotionally-heavy track was produced by Dev Hynes (otherwise known as the brilliant nu-R&B mastermind behind Sky Ferreira‘s “Everything Is Embarrassing” and Solange Knowles‘ “Losing You“). It’s also quite, quite good! So much so that […]
AlunaGeorge‘s “Attracting Flies” was accurately described by Stereogum as “probably the sweetest song about telling someone he is full of shit”. It also serves as the first time I’ve officially understood the growing hype around the English duo, who have gained both critical and public […]
Singer-songwriter Victoria Hesketh, better known to the world as Little Boots, has made deliriously wonderful electro-pop singles since 2009, when she released the completely amazing triumverate of “New In Town“, “Remedy” and “Earthquake“. If you read music blog,s she is probably a household name and […]
I am irritated. Much as I adore Frank Ocean, he constantly serves as a reminder that the gay media doesn’t care about black male musical artists unless they’re against us or “one of us“. They’ll swoon and throw their panties on the stage every time Justin Timberlake […]
Now that we’re a healthy week’s distance from Valentine’s Day, it seems like the perfect time to put down the cans of frosting at 2AM and attempt to transfer focus to a less physically detrimental form of therapy. Namely, musical. Remember last year, when Australian […]
Matt Cardle is half-naked in the music video for his new song “Lately”. This would be much more exciting if I could tolerate Cardle’s falsetto and overly schmaltzy songwriting, but whatever! He’s vaguely famous on the other side of the pond, and we never turn […]
Stevie Wonder, Prince, Erykah Badu, Bon Iver and Jill Scott can’t all be wrong about Is Your Love Big Enough?, the debut album from Lianne La Havas. Those are just a few of the famous fans who’ve hopped on board with the English artist’s soulful blend […]
Fresh off their two biggest radio hits ever, Phoenix are back to rock your world with their new single “Entertainment”. Now, much as it’s great to hear new material from the French band, I will wholeheartedly admit that this track didn’t hit me as hard as “1901” […]
