No comments

Over the course of Florence + The Machine’s third album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, she mentions the Virgin Mary, Persephone, Motown’s Delilah, Jonah and St. Jude, but Catholicism and mythology are very small influences compared to the worst thing in the world, which is what the album is truly about: heartbreak....

Posted on Jun 4, 2015

No comments

The above is an acoustic cover of David Guetta’s “Hey Mama” by Bebe Rexha. Only it isn’t entirely a cover. You see, Bebe is actually featured on the song and co-wrote it. So, really, it’s hers as much as it is David Guetta’s. And I happen to prefer this version over the original,...
