  • 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…

  • You may recall our previous coverage of Metals, who we’ve been into ever since we first heard their single “That Ain’t Real Love” roughly a year ago. Blending R&B, electro-pop, soul, dub, house and more, the experimental duo — consisting of Chris “Digital Primate” Coe and Ehsan Gelsi — has yet to deliver a disappointing…

  • “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…

  • “We could be kings and Queens / We could have it all / We could build walls to stop the cannonballs,” sings Marie Digby during the chorus of her marvelous new tune “Kings and Queens” from her forthcoming EP Chimera. And we sincerely hope she releases the full EP soon because we are dying to…

  • “If we could all fall in love together, we’d have no enemies,” sings rising pop sensation Kiesza. And she does have a good point. Better still, she has a lovely, throbbing, monstrous pop song that bangs its way into your head while causing you euphoria in lieu of pain. Trust us, it’s quite the bouncy…

  • When Stars released Set Yourself on Fire ten years ago they were a rough around the edges indie rock band with flourishes of pop melodies thrown in for good measure. But ten years of making albums and growing up have changed them and transformed their sound in the process. Now they’re more of an indie…

  • This song isn’t bad, but it sounds more like a No Doubt song than a Gwen Stefani solo song. And we’ve actually liked her solo stuff more than No Doubt. So, we’re hoping that her album sounds more unique. We need more songs like “What Are You Waiting For” and “Wind It Up,” ya know?…

  • This one took us a few listens to get into. Our intern, Gas Monkey, still isn’t sure if he likes it. In any case, it’s one of those abstract remixes that you wind up either loving or hating. During the first minute of it, it’s mostly ambient humming and odd sounds along with faint vocal…
