Wow… this one is beautiful beyond words. But we’ll say a few anyway. Marie Digby’s acoustic rendition of her new song “Kings & Queens” is spellbinding and very emotive, her sounding vulnerable and romantic all at once. If this one doesn’t touch you’re heart then you’re probably frozen and should check to make sure you…

Ysa Ferrer is an artist who half of our readers have likely never heard of while the other half are undoubtedly quite familiar with her. If you live in the States — where we’re based — then you’re probably not familiar with her. But if you live in Europe, she’s practically a household name at…

“Don’t give it up, it’s glorious,” Foxes sings during the chorus of the gorgeous and inspiring title track from her album Glorious, which could also be described as, well, glorious. (Sorry, but it had to be said.)

Ella On The Run is a London-based electro-pop artist of Swiss, French and South African origin. She attended The Berklee College of Music here in Boston, Massachusetts and began making music using the Ella On The Run moniker with producer/co-writer Matthew Bang (previously an engineer for Interscope and Timbaland’s Mosley Music group). The Berklee College…

If there’s one thing you could accuse David Guetta of, it’s being formulaic. He has a design in front of him and he rarely colors outside of it. It’s like he has a dance pop algorithm he uses to write all of his songs. To that end, you could say that his music is as…

Röyksopp deliver breath-taking electronica once again with their throbbing new single “Skulls,” which is from their glorious final album, The Inevitable End. That said, the duo plans to continue releasing music. Just not in the album format. Which we think is rather sad because they’ve always made albums that truly felt like albums, each song…

Super talented, artsy pop artist Bright Light Bright Light has re-recorded “Everything I Ever Wanted” for Elton John’s Aids charity with The Pink Singers and it’s quite beautiful. In fact, it just might be our favorite track that he’s ever done, which is saying a lot because we’ve never disliked a single song of his.…

We love, love, love this Kelly Clarkson original Christmas song!

Another wonderful retro cover from She & Him’s soon to be released covers album Classics, which will be released on December 2nd.

If you miss the days of pretty hair band ballads, you should appreciate We The Kings’ ambitious new single, “Stone Walls,” which starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds into something potent if not powerful. I’ve always preferred their acoustic tracks and ballads, so this one was right up my alley and is the…

Why yes, the rumors are true… Bell and Sebastian have gone disco! Oh, the horror! Actually, it’s a glorious tune. From the funky bass guitar to the invigorating percussion and the flourishes of radiant synth, everything about this song is perfect. We’re not sure we’re sold on the idea of their new album, Girls in…

“Stronger” is written from the perspective of Lionface’s grandmother; her grandfather was murdered, so it’s about finding the strength to carry on in the face of such great lost. An emotive and contagious song that seeps into your head, tickling your brain, as it touches your heart. Lionface is one to keep your eye on…

If you like a healthy dose of rock in your pop and a dash of the psychedelic for good measure, well, look no further. The Art of Amputation’s glorious new single, “Distorted Pop Song,” is all that and a damn strong, complex cup of coffee. A massive anthem if ever there was one, monstrous drums…

God bless Antony Hegarty because I don’t think there’s another artist alive today who bares his soul quite like he does, laying himself entirely vulnerable during his songs to a point that you almost fear he’s going to have a breakdown on stage as you listen to this new live album. Of course, you know…
