interview by Michael McCarthy Sydney Banta has been known as L.A. Girlfriend for as long as most critics and bloggers can remember. And they do remember her.

Well, it’s not from a new Selena Gomez album, which I know we’re all dying for, but here’s a new track by the woman herself, “Back to You,” which hails from the Thirteen Reasons Why Season 2 soundtrack. And what a superb song it is. It’s like Kygo, Marshmello and Zedd all co-produced it. In…

Last month I interviewed Whitney Fenimore, a former contestant of The Voice from season 13. Her single at the time was “Find Your Love,” a sweeping, almost ethereal ballad that blows across your skin like a cool breeze on a hot day.
