Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany has finally gone solo. She’s still in GG, as well as the GG subunit Taetiseo, but now she has her first mini-album under her belt as well. Of course, this isn’t the first solo song we’ve heard from her, as she’s done ballads for soundtracks like Princes Ja Myung Go and Blood…

Her best song since her second album, in my opinion. Just incredible. This is classic Roisin, not the club-focused Roisin we’ve been getting in recent years. Taken from her forthcoming album Take Her Up To Monto out July 8th.

by Michael McCarthy Olga Bell was born in Moscow and lived there until she was seven and her family moved to Alaska, but she was still a teenager when she left Alaska to pursue a career as a pianist, having played since she was a young girl, at the New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts,…

To be honest, I do not think Panic! At The Disco’s latest album, Death Of A Bachelor, is nearly as good as the previous album, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, but “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” is one of the best songs on the record, if not the very best.…

interview by Michael McCarthy If you’re a fan of delicious indie pop then you should definitely read the following interview with Chase DeMaster, who sometimes goes by children of pop (he doesn’t capitalize it), such as on his new album: children of pop: What Does 69 Mean? It’s one hell of a catchy record, throwing…

by Michael McCarthy In addition to well-established artists, I like to introduce our readers to promising new artists. Today we have an interview with Lyra, an enthusiastic singer/songwriter who got her start at the age of 6 when she began singing at her local church. She wasn’t just a church singer, though. Also at the…

As you can hear above, Sarah Jaffe has done an exceptional cover of the Old 97’s “The New Kid.” The track, which sports some great upright bass, is from the benefit album Desperate Times. The project consists of artists such as Ben Kweller, Polyphonic Spree, Hayes Carll, The O’s and others covering Old 97’s tracks…

If you like artsy, experimental pop then today’s #songoftheday should put a huge smile on your face. It delivers more sounds than one could possibly count, layers and layers of them, and it also shifts directions when you least expect it. A real artistic statement, not something even remotely aimed at the radio. All in…

Have I mentioned how happy I am that Kerli is making electro-pop again? Her dance music was great, sure, but her lyrics and voice fit electronic soundscapes better than club beats. At least that’s my opinion.

RAC has been one of my favorite remixers for ages now. His versions of Lana Del Rey’s “Blue Jeans” and Katy Perry’s “This is How We Do” are easily as good as the originals. His version of Foster The People’s “Houdini” is better than the original. I could go on and on. Well, now we…

Like many Silverchair fans, I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that frontman Daniel Johns put out an R&B/neo-soul album (last year’s Talk). That said, he lends his vocals to Slumberjack’s latest, “Open Fire,” and it’s a contagious ball of wonderful, which also happens to be in the R&B/neo-soul vein, albeit with some dubstep…

“Bloodline” is the second song offered from White Sea, a.k.a Morgan Kibby, from her art project Postcards From Nowhere, which allows her to share an interactive experience with fans and gives her the platform to release songs whenever she likes without planning an album or EP. “I know a monster / It’s in my bloodline…

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Yes, Garbage’s new single, “Empty,” is so amazing that it deserves it being said three times. Well, OK, I’ve just used it four times. Do I need to say it again? Seriously though, Garbage’s pop sensibilities remain in tact as do their massive guitar hooks and Shirley Manson’s ever intoxicating voice. The…
