The must-see video of the week with lots of celebrity cameos from, well, watch the video and find out!

Alexz Johnson might have gotten her start as the star of Instant Star, a cheesy show if ever there was one, but she’s since emerged as a fantastic pop singer/songwriter and “Cologne” is a fine example of that. It’s a sexy number about a woman and her man playing the game of love. First they…

As you well know by now, I’ll listen to music in any language and so today’s song of the day is Mexican singer Paulina Rubio’s “Mi Nuevo Vicio” featuring Morat. There’s always something wonderful about the way the Spanish language meshes with rhythmic music and “Mi Neuvo Vicio” is a perfect example of that, Rubio’s…

These days it’s not uncommon for artists to celebrate a major anniversary by re-recording their most popular songs. Often, though, the new versions pale in comparison to the original songs. The only reason half of these albums are made and released is to milk a few more bucks out of an artist’s die-hard fans who…

If I had heard Milo Greene’s 2012 debut, which is said to have been folk pop, then I probably wouldn’t like this album. At least that’s the impression I’ve arrived at after reading several reviews. The big complaint comes from people who loved the band’s first album, who are having a fit about Control not…

Echosmith’s new video has arrived and it’s for “Bright,” one of my favorite tracks from their superb album, Talking Dreams. It’s a light and fluffy mid-tempo ballad that simply makes you feel good without being melodramatic like so many pop ballads these days. So what if it reminds us fine folks of Massachusetts of all…

Either you love K-Pop or you hate it. Nobody just kind of likes K-Pop in a casual way. Likewise, those who don’t like it tend to strongly dislike it. And 4Minute’s “Crazy” is one of those songs that’s guaranteed to make you feel one way or the other. There’s just no in between where this…

The Dodo’s last album, Carrier, was made in the wake of the death of their live guitarist Christopher Remer (see also: Women). It was a record brimming with emotion and fairly complex arrangements, easily one of The Dodo’s best albums. Immediately following the making of that album, Meric Long and Logan Kroeber, who’ve always been…

This is what happens when the reigning queen of Chinese pop meets the reigning queen of Japanese pop… One fabulous, punchy as hell, kick ass pop song, primed for the dance floor. If you really despise EDM then this one might turn you off, but we’re getting tired of EDM, too, and we still were…

IV Rox are an ultra-hot new British girl group consisting of four equally talented members: Raquel, Dolly, Natalie and Nadine. And I’m quite glad that they’ve finally released their absolutely fabulous debut EP, Imperfections. You see, the girls released their slick first single, the delightfully dark R&B “Case of the Ex,” way back in April…

Much has already been said about Björk’s new album, Vulnicura. For example, the first half of the title seems to be from the Latin word “vulnific,” meaning to cause injury. 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.…

Rad! It’s like a song from “My December” but catchier! It’s the song that should have followed “Never Again.”
