“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…

A little while ago I wrote an article called 5 Rap Artists You Must Hear Now. Or something like that. I’m too busy focusing on this killer song by Apathy to check. But, yes, Apathy was on that list. And, seriously, he’s one of the best rappers out there who isn’t a household name. But…

Adele’s last album, 21, has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. If you didn’t buy it, you’re probably only a two degrees away from someone who did. Some people even bought it twice, having to own it on CD and vinyl. (I just went with the vinyl.) Billboard dubbed it the “Greatest Album of All…
