This one is so good my jaw dropped the first time I listened to it. I’ve now listened to it three times in a row and I’m still in awe of how superb it is. Which shouldn’t surprise me because Todd Terry and Armand Van Helden have been two of my favorite remixers since back…

If the tremendously talented Banks made grandiose dance pop songs, they would sound an awful lot like the music of Charlotte OC, who has a similar flair for haunting melodies and insightful lyrics. “If my house was burning / Would you run or stay?” she asks during the lead track “If My House Was Burning,”…

Janine and The Mixtape, otherwise known as Janine Foster, started off playing open mic nights in her native Auckland when she was just 14 years old. It wasn’t long before she’d concocted her own unique blend of pop, soul and R&B. She released Dark Mind on her own label, Little Mixtapes Records, back in 2013,…

Yet another song where Ed Sheeran sings about drinking… In fact, this whole song is about feeling “the chemicals in my bloodstream.” So, I’m officially worried about ol’ Ed now. I think he needs an intervention. Stat.

The second half seems to be from the Middle English word “cura,” meaning to care or cure. And, no, I’m not extremely smart like that.…

“What do you know, I’m just a bad believer,” sings St. Vincent during “Bad Believer,” her brand new song for the deluxe edition of her self-titled album. It’s a song that finds her singing about going to church and fainting as the pastor touches her hand.

review and interview by Michael McCarthy previously published on OtakuDX Before we get to our interview with J-Pop’s future stars 4TE, I wanted to present a review of their wonderful double A-side MORE / 一歩ずつ… 4TE — pronounced Forte/for-tay — is a red hot new Japanese pop group based out of the U.S. and if…

I’m going to come right out and say it: I’m late to the party on this one. Sort of. You see, I was aware of singer/songwriter Grace Mitchell before she released this EP last October. She’d done a moody cover of Hall & Oates’ classic “Maneater” on the soundtrack to The Secret Life of Walter…
