Dawn Richard delivers another twisted R&B song destined to toy with your head with her latest single, “Not Above That.” It’s so far out there that I’m not even sure I should be calling it R&B. Maybe there should be an R&B sub-genre called gloom for songs like this? I suppose you could call it…

interview by Michael McCarthy One of the very first interviews I did for Love is Pop was with Dean Garcia, formerly of Curve, who was promoting his new project SPC ECO, which finds him recording dark and dreamy music with his daughter Rose Berlin on vocals. Since that interview, SPC ECO has released several more…

I’m not a big prog rock fan, but I just found out that Donnie Vie — Enuff Z’Nuff’s longtime vocalist who is sadly not in the band anymore — is involved with this project. I’m rather impressed by it, too.

interview by Michael McCarthy In 2011 I read a review of Puro Instinct’s Headbangers in Ecstacy album that made me curious about it, so I went to iTunes and listened to a couple of the snippets and then, well, I was done for. I simply had to buy it! It didn’t matter that I was…
