Lots of music is trippy. But there aren’t so many songs that take you on a trip. Well, there are plenty of psychedelic artists who do precisely that, but I’m talking about pop songs. What we have here is brilliant pop with just enough psychedelic flourishes to make their song, “Choose Yer Own Adventure,” take…

I dare you to watch this video and listen to this song — closely, paying attention to the lyrics — and not feel something. I found it incredibly touching. Hell, it almost made me cry. Suffice to say it’s a very effective and precious pop ballad. And the lyrics, which Selena probably wrote herself, are…

Ysa Ferrer is one of my favorite French artists. I’ve been following her since I bought her album Kamikaze in France in 1999. After that album didn’t fare very well, I believe she was dropped from her label. Then she would sporadically release a single here and there but during recent years she’s put out…

“Underbart” was already one of the most invigorating tracks on Little Dragon’s Nabuma Rubberband, but this intense video gives it a sense of urgency, making the song stand out like a passionate battle cry, ready to conquer any and all contemporaries. And, with a little luck, it will.

Mystery Skulls is the stage name of Luis Dubuc, an insanely-talented, self-taught electronic artist from Dallas — currently based in LA — who writes, produces and sings his own songs.

If you miss All Saints, chances are you’ll fall head over heels in love with this gorgeous gem, just as we did, being that its beats and melody would seem to be a deliberate homage to Saints’ “Pure Shores.” That aside, “Can’t Stop The Love” is a lovely mid-tempo number with a positive message and…

Jolin Tsai is arguably the queen of Chinese pop, though I’d say that Elva Hsaio and Coco Lee are right behind her. In any case, she’s a massive diva releasing one hit album after another for at least ten years now. Here, fresh, modern beats that blend slick electro-pop and sonorous EDM give her just…

It doesn’t get prettier than this beautiful new charity single by the always wonderful Pixie Lott. It might not be a Christmas song specifically, but we’ll be adding it to our Christmas playlist here at the office nevertheless.

Back in March of this year Ugly Bunny’s TOKYO album was an #albumoftheday. You’d think they might take some time to chill after releasing their debut album. But, no, Camryn and Gwen have already returned with new material. And a new sound. To be sure, they still sound like Ugly Bunny. But the material, such…

To some, it was a surprise that Taylor Swift opted to go the pop route on her new album 1989, named after the year she was born, but most of her longtime listeners saw this coming a mile away. After all, Taylor’s singles have been remixed for the pop market ever since she started her…

“Timber” is the latest track to be unleashed from Eaves’ debut EP, As Old As The Grave, and if you like melancholic singer/songwriter fare then you’re in for a real treat. From the first few stark piano notes, it’s obvious that this is going to be a haunting number, and the emotional gravity is felt…

At this point in the game, the always impressive synth rock band known as Fitz & The Tantrums has all but become a household name. And they just might achieve that status with this amazing new video for their gorgeous current single, “Fools Gold,” which opens with some heavy break up dialogue that should really…
