Amy Stroup is a Boston native who now calls Nashville home. Her last solo album was 2011’s The Other Side of Love Sessions, which was a fantastic record. Since then, Stroup has been performing and making music as an alter-ego named Sugar in Trent Dabb’s Sugar + the Hi-lows. She credits her work as Sugar…

This song was posted on Youtube early last December, but there’s always so much going on in the music world that it’s impossible for us to check out everything. Alas, the band’s new album, Together We Shine, which “Stockholm” appears on, is being released March 21st, so now is actually the perfect time for us…

“I’m gonna swing from the chandelier,” Sia sings enthusiastically during the massive chorus of her new single, “Chandelier,” which is without a doubt the best song she’s written during the past few years, which have seen her writing songs for a myriad of other artists with her solo career on pause. We’ll be the first…

We find everything Petite Meller does to be rather exquisite. She’s easily one of the most interesting quote unquote pop stars on the rise today. If you like Say Lou Lou or Foxes, you’d be wise to check her out. With some practically operatic vocals by Joe Fleisch, “Icebear” might not be Petite’s most accessible…

sums it up perfectly. But, if you must know more, it’s very much in the vein of Tegan & Sara’s shiny latest album, Heartthrob, or Goldfrapp’s sultry pop, like on their Head First album. It begins with subtle guitar notes and dreamy, whispery vocals, more like Goldfrapp’s Seventh Tree, but once it hits the second…

Ninetails are a three piece band from Liverpool. As for what sort of band they are, well, that’s nearly impossible to say. Their songs are rather mold-breaking and don’t conform to the rules of any genre, so I suppose you could call them avant-garde, but then avant-garde artists tend to be really “out there” (read:…

) You may recall our January interview with Lily McKenzie, an extremely talented singer/songwriter 0f the pop variety with strong garage (a.k.a. drum ‘n’ bass) and 2-Step influences, which she strongly emphasizes in her gorgeous music. Today our song of the day is the title track from her EP Support Machine, which will be released…

This self-titled debut from Sweden’s Vampire was released on March 3rd in Europe and will be released here in North America on March 18th. And, boy, is it one to get excited about. I don’t think I’ve found a death metal debut this invigorating and engaging since Skeletonwitch first hit the scene and took the…

Hailing from Liverpool, VEYU’s debut double A-side, “The Everlasting” b/w “Running,” is one promising debut… “The Everlasting” is a perfect blend of Depeche Mode’s almost-but-not-quite industrial vibe and New Order’s knack for enchanting melodies. Interestingly, the track opens with loops of sounds recorded in industrial spaces, including metal pipes chiming on floors and the cracking of wood. But…

Kiss Me Once is Kylie Minogue’s twelfth studio album. It’s her first album since she parted ways with her long-term manager Terry Blamey and signed a management deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation imprint. Considering that the album has over 20 writers and at least a half dozen producers, it’s amazing that it sounds cohesive. You’d…
