UK producer Stumbleine — aka Peter Cooper — deservedly-earned a reputation as a skillful and even innovative electronic artist during the past few years with intoxicating releases such as his 2012 solo debut, Spiderwebbed, and 2013’s Things Don’t Sparkle Like They Used To. But there was one thing that prevented some listeners from becoming fully…

“Boom, clap, you make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me,” sings Charli Kiss Charlie Kiss during the magnificent chorus of her highly addictive new song “Boom Clap,” which just might be the best pop song we’ve heard so far this year. From the sonorous beats to the electro embellishments to…

The UK’s Bat and Ball are an immensely-talented outfit with co-lead vocalists Abi and Chris Sinclair hailing from West Country. While the two began writing and performing with various bands in their early teens, they never actually played in a band together until they both moved to London to study at Goldsmiths College, at which…

Today’s song of the day is a hot — and downright infectious– remix of Petite Meller’s charming song “Backpack” by the French DJ known as Marlin. Although this remix packs a hard beat like the original version of the song, said beat isn’t quite as boisterous. It’s actually a longer, jumbo beat but it’s just…

If you like Sally Shapiro and Annie, then you’re in for a real treat here. This one is such a lovely, light-hearted gem. We’ve been listening to it on repeat for the past 20 minutes and we’re liking it more and more each time. Ulla’s light and dreamy vocals pair perfectly with Davidian’s bubbling beats,…

I always liked the idea of sharing playlists with our readers but the idea never really took flight. I asked my writers to contribute playlists as well as some musicians but nobody was into it. I guess you need to be a big magazine like NYLON to get artists to share playlists with you. In…

In order to write as many reviews as I do here on Love is Pop, sometimes I only have time to give things four or so spins before writing my reviews… And that was the case when I wrote my review of The Glitch Mob’s latest album, Love Death Immortality… I haven’t read my review…

We’ve been fascinated by Petite Meller ever since she left a link to her “Backpack” video on our Facebook page last September. If you watched the video when we posted it, then chances are you remember it. It was the gorgeous homage to vintage French cinema shot on the French Riviera. Meller herself describes it…

Émilie Simon began her career with a self-titled release in 2003. I happened upon it by chance when I was looking for a few new CDs to buy on Amazon France, as I had been a French music junkie since 1997 or so. I had no idea what she was going to sound like, but…

Estereotypo sounds like quite the mouthful of a band name until you break it down, then it’s easy. See: E-stereo-typo. We’re not sure how they pronounce it, but we’ve been pronouncing it the way it sounds when broken down like that. In any case, these talented cats hail from Spain and their upbeat, super-synthy blend…

We’re posting this because we know many of you like him. But we much prefer other dubsteppers, like Kill The Noise, Noisia and Feed Me. Skrillex might have been doing it first, but this is a case where the students have surpassed their master.

Frankmusik, one of the electronic music scenes very best artists, has been doing fewer remixes and more original songs of his own as of late. You could call it “pulling an Avicii,” but we do believe that Frankmusik started releasing songs of his own before Avicii, our point being that Frankmusik is an original and…

This luscious ballad begins with Katy B singing softly over melancholic piano notes. “I still see your face like it was only yesterday,” she sings, her voice full of longing. Once it arrives at the chorus, a sticky electro-beat beat begins throbbing away accompanied rhythmic live percussion and humming synth. “Still, still on my mind…

We’re not sure what we think about the above video — probably because Mike is having horrible headaches and severe eye pain lately — but the song is undeniably catchy with its soulful vocals, intriguing guitars and faint but warm synth, along with bass that alternates between funky and throbbing. There’s even a pretty darn…

CLIENT has returned! Maybe you don’t know who they are. There’s Wikipedia for that. What we’re prepared to tell you is that new singer Client N brings new life to the group, igniting it with a spark not unlike that of Ladytron’s Marnie. And where CLIENT have tended to produce subtle electro/synth pop, the lead…
