interview by Michael McCarthy Ruth Koleva might be from Bulgaria, but after doing this interview I feel confident in saying that she speaks English better than I do. That’s the God’s honest truth.

International duo Freedom Fry’s “Classic” is one of those wonderful, feel-good songs that just about anyone can fall in love with. I understand they consider themselves alt-folk, but to me, they sound like pop that just so happens to have folk elements. Very impressive pop, though. The artistic variety, not the bubble gum sort.

Welcome back, Lily Allen. It’s been a while. Well, OK, maybe only four years, but that’s a long time. A woman could have four babies during that amount of time.

If you like twisted, noir electro-pop then you’re going to be drooling all over yourself listening to Laure Shang’s richly-layered new single, which is surely the bleakest-sounding song called “I Love You” ever written. It’s also my favorite song to be released so far from her next album. (They just keep getting better and better,…
