When David Bowie suddenly rushed back onto the scene with his surprise album The Next Day in 2013, I was elated. He’s long been one of my favorite artists — ever since his 1997 album Earthling — and I could not have been more pleased with the album. It was dark, edgy and experimental, an…

I’m a big fan of Editors, so much so that I cringed at the idea of someone remixing them. They’re just not that sort of band. Or so I thought until I listened to Henri PFR’s reworking of “Ocean of Night” today. For the most part, he retains the structure of the song, he just…

Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real will release their much hyped third album on March 11th and if the lead track, “Something Real,” is any indication then it’s going to be one hell of a country rock party. Here’s hoping it’s not so self-serious as Neil Young’s album with Promise of the Real, The…

It’s not like the music world was in short supply of pretty-looking, young guys who skateboard, but With Confidence has arrived nevertheless. And, surprisingly, they’re not bad. The song starts off only so-so, but once it hits the bridge it pulls you in and then the high energy chorus french kisses you.

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, an interpolation of Jade’s classic “Don’t Walk Away,”…

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 song’s great.…

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.

“Little Soldier” is a beautiful Christmas ballad by the always fabulous singer/songwriter Mindy Gledhill.

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.

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, often within…

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 DeLeo, The Crusaders’ drummer Forrest Robinson and Michael Buble/Luther…
