LOVE IS POP’S 60 BEST ALBUMS OF 2015

Posted on Dec 19, 2015

by Michael McCarthy Each year, I feel overwhelmed before writing a “best albums of” list. There are always so many releases that I’ve loved during any given year, it makes it very difficult to narrow them down to a reasonable number. (When I first listed my best from this year, it was 144...

#songoftheday / VIDEO: Diplo & Sleepy Tom – “Be Right There”

Posted on Dec 17, 2015

One comment

Diplo doesn't need help from anyone else to create a mammoth EDM banger, but he's collaborated with Sleepy Tom here anyway and you can thank your lucky stars that he did because the result is a truly invigorating beast of a song. It also features gorgeous vocals,...

Posted on Dec 17, 2015

Are you among the 60 million people who’ve seen the zany video for Psy’s big comeback song “Daddy” yet? If not, click play above already! Do it! Suffice to say that Psy is back with his crazy dance moves, amusing sight gags, and lots of general weirdness. The song isn’t bad either. Actually, the...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: Clément Bcx – “Miracle In The Middle Of My Heart”

Posted on Dec 16, 2015

No comments

It's a fantastic song that skirts between sounding like mellow singer/songwriter music and throbbing club beats and in the end there's a gospel style chorus that enters the picture and elevates it into something truly unique. ...

If this song doesn't impress you, well, then you're probably someone who gets all bent out of shape whenever they're in line somewhere and they hear someone speak to their kids in a foreign language. ...

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: CHRIS SAVOR: INTRO EP

Posted on Dec 14, 2015

No comments

Sometimes you listen to something and it’s so unique that you feel like it’s a miracle that it even exists, which is certainly something you could say about Chris Savor’s Intro EP. For starters, the spctra-produced songs somehow manage to marry Chris’ soulful vocals with dark R&B, 2 step and even trip-hop sounds,...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: DELTA DEEP: “TAKE ME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS”

Posted on Dec 11, 2015

No comments

Delta Deep was originally started as an "extreme" blues project by Def Leppard's Phil Collen in 2012. Today the band's sound is more like one part rock, one part soul and two parts blues. In addition to Collen, the band features Stone Temple Pilots' bassist Robert...

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: LNDN DRGS: AKTIVE

Posted on Dec 11, 2015

No comments

They might be called LNDN DRGS — London Drugs, get it? — but they actually hail from California. Their music is the perfect marriage of Jay Worthy’s relaxed rap delivery and producer Sean House’s jumpy bass lines and globs of old school synth. Together, they make music that’s both modern and retro all...

REVIEW: SOPHIE: PRODUCT

Posted on Dec 9, 2015

No comments

“I can make you feel better, if you want to,” a female chirps on “Bipp” by SOPHIE, the name used by London-based producer Samuel Long. Or perhaps it’s actually Samuel singing and he just raises the pitch on the vocals so that they sound female? In any case, SOPHIE has become quite the sensation...
