“Better Love” is awesome. “Better Love” is great. “Better Love” is better than whatever is currently stuck in your head.

It seems like we’ve lived with Lana Del Rey’s music forever. Yet, Born To Die, her official debut as Lana Del Rey, only arrived in January of 2012. Ever since then, though, she’s been a constant source of music. There was November 2012’s Paradise EP, which was eight songs long, currently considered a full-length album.…

“Every time I think I’m better / Pick my head up / Getting nowhere,” Troye Sivan sings, slightly melancholic, on just one of the hooks contained within his delicious new single, “EASE,” which might sound familiar and that would be because it features Broods, who lend it their trademark propulsive beats and electro-pop details.

When I was growing up, I was mostly into what they (not I) call hair bands, my favorites being Motley Crue, Poison, Stryper, Bon Jovi and KISS. (Yes, KISS was a hair band at the time. No make up, just very big hair.) I did listen to some thrash, too, especially the artists that we…

Back in 2014 ex-L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns played at a Keith Moon and Jon Entwistle tribute show alongside Poison drummer Rikki Rocket and Cinderella bassist Eric Brittingham. The three had great chemistry and decided to start a band together. Rikki suggests they check out his singer friend Brandon Gibbs, who Eric previously played with…

OK, so I already praised this gem of a song (“Pressure Off”) in my review of Duran Duran’s new album, Paper Gods, but it’s one of the best tunes I’ve heard all year, and they’ve just released this nifty 360 lyric video, so I’m writing about it again… Not that there’s really anything I can…

Last year Kylie collaborated with frequent Lady Gaga producer Fernando Garibay on a four track surprise EP called Kylie + Garibay, which was given away for free on Soundcloud. (Sadly, you can’t download it anymore, but you can still listen to it.) The tracklist for this 2014 EP was: “Glow,” “Wait,” “Break This Heartbreak” and…

It’s 2015 and Duran Duran currently consists of Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor. The only member of the classic line-up who is not present is Andy Taylor, who has had nothing to do with Duran Duran since 2004’s criminally under-rated Astronaut album. Duran Duran’s last album was 2010’s Mark Ronson-produced…

It might be an acoustic version, but it’s every bit as invigorating as the original version…

Owen Franklin is a very talented fellow who makes wonderful independent music and movies. “The Lover I Left Behind,” a truly touching piano ballad if ever we’ve heard one, is the theme song from his debut feature film, She Moved Through The Fair.

I first heard Halsey when I saw her live at Boston Calling music festival back in May. She was a replacement for someone who canceled at the last minute and by the end of her seductive set, I wanted to call up and thank whoever canceled for freeing up the slot for her. I’m pretty…

We have saved CHE-VAL’s luscious new single, “Love Still Waiting,” for the last day of the week so we could declare it not only #songoftheday but #songoftheweek as well, being that it’s the most addictive and well-crafted tune we’ve heard this week.
