“Underbart” was already one of the most invigorating tracks on Little Dragon’s Nabuma Rubberband, but this intense video gives it a sense of urgency, making the song stand out like a passionate battle cry, ready to conquer any and all contemporaries. And, with a little luck, it will.

Mystery Skulls is the stage name of Luis Dubuc, an insanely-talented, self-taught electronic artist from Dallas — currently based in LA — who writes, produces and sings his own songs. At the moment, he’s the electronic artist du jour with his song “Ghost” having skyrocketed to number eight on the iTunes electronic music chart at…

If you miss All Saints, chances are you’ll fall head over heels in love with this gorgeous gem, just as we did, being that its beats and melody would seem to be a deliberate homage to Saints’ “Pure Shores.” That aside, “Can’t Stop The Love” is a lovely mid-tempo number with a positive message and…

https://soundcloud.com/rainbow_tiger/01gill-sans For some odd reason we could not get the Soundcloud player to appear here for this one. Normally, just posting a URL will make the Soundcloud player appear embedded on our site, but today Soundcloud is apparently having hiccups or something. In any case, we certainly suggest that you click on the above link…

Jolin Tsai is arguably the queen of Chinese pop, though I’d say that Elva Hsaio and Coco Lee are right behind her. In any case, she’s a massive diva releasing one hit album after another for at least ten years now. Here, fresh, modern beats that blend slick electro-pop and sonorous EDM give her just…

It doesn’t get prettier than this beautiful new charity single by the always wonderful Pixie Lott. It might not be a Christmas song specifically, but we’ll be adding it to our Christmas playlist here at the office nevertheless.

Back in March of this year Ugly Bunny’s TOKYO album was an #albumoftheday. You’d think they might take some time to chill after releasing their debut album. But, no, Camryn and Gwen have already returned with new material. And a new sound. To be sure, they still sound like Ugly Bunny. But the material, such…

To some, it was a surprise that Taylor Swift opted to go the pop route on her new album 1989, named after the year she was born, but most of her longtime listeners saw this coming a mile away. After all, Taylor’s singles have been remixed for the pop market ever since she started her…

“Video Girl” is one of our favorite tracks from FKA twigs debut album, LP1. It’s a mesmerizing delight akin to Massive Attack at their best. People have described her sound as R&B but here at Love is Pop we all agree that it’s more like trip hop. We’re not going to argue about it though.…

Ben Ottewell, vocalist and lead guitarist of Brit rock band Gomez, continues to submerge himself in the deep end of the blues on his second solo release, Rattlebag, which follows his first solo album Shapes & Shadows (2011). “Your prayers won’t raise me from this web,” Ottewell sings during the title track, “Rattlebag,” which opens…

“Timber” is the latest track to be unleashed from Eaves’ debut EP, As Old As The Grave, and if you like melancholic singer/songwriter fare then you’re in for a real treat. From the first few stark piano notes, it’s obvious that this is going to be a haunting number, and the emotional gravity is felt…

At The Gates released their last album, Slaughter of the Soul, way back on November 14th, 1995. That’s a long, long time ago, isn’t it? Hell, I didn’t even know that death metal existed back then. But it did. And at the time there weren’t as many sub-genres or styles around. To that end, At…
