#albumoftheday / REVIEW: CHRIS SAVOR: INTRO EP
Sometimes you listen to something and it’s so unique that you feel like it’s a miracle that it even exists, which is certainly something you could say about Chris Savor’s Intro EP. For starters, the spctra-produced songs somehow manage to marry Chris’ soulful vocals with dark R&B, 2 step and even trip-hop sounds, often within…

#songoftheday / REVIEW: DELTA DEEP: “TAKE ME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS”
Delta Deep was originally started as an “extreme” blues project by Def Leppard’s Phil Collen in 2012. Today the band’s sound is more like one part rock, one part soul and two parts blues. In addition to Collen, the band features Stone Temple Pilots’ bassist Robert DeLeo, The Crusaders’ drummer Forrest Robinson and Michael Buble/Luther…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: LNDN DRGS: AKTIVE
They might be called LNDN DRGS — London Drugs, get it? — but they actually hail from California. Their music is the perfect marriage of Jay Worthy’s relaxed rap delivery and producer Sean House’s jumpy bass lines and globs of old school synth. Together, they make music that’s both modern and retro all at once.…

REVIEW: SOPHIE: PRODUCT
“I can make you feel better, if you want to,” a female chirps on “Bipp” by SOPHIE, the name used by London-based producer Samuel Long. Or perhaps it’s actually Samuel singing and he just raises the pitch on the vocals so that they sound female? In any case, SOPHIE has become quite the sensation in the…

VIDEO PREMIERE / #songoftheday: JACK ROSE: “CHASING CARS” (SNOW PATROL COVER)
You’re probably thinking that Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” is one of those magical songs that should never, ever be covered by anyone. That’s what I thought, too. Then we were approached about premiering the video for 14 year old Jack Rose’s version. We often pass on these things because we’re not going to premiere something…

#songoftheday DUA LIPA: “BE THE ONE” + READ OUR Q&A WITH DUA!
Today’s #songoftheday is Dua Lipa’s ” scorching hot Be The One.” You may remember that I wrote about Dua recently when we covered the Shy Luv remix of “Be The One” recently. Well, I’ve been listening to the original version of “Be The One” for days now and thought it finally deserved the spotlight. Its 2-Step/UK…

#songoftheday / VIDEO / REVIEW: Tame Impala – “The Less I Know The Better” (NOTE: IT’S NSFW)
Sometimes I really can’t tell what songs are about. This happens often when I listen to Tame Impala. But the lyrics here match up with the video, so if you watch it you’ll know. Or maybe it was written about something else and then they came up with this video and just made it fit.…

KILLER RAP: APATHY: “RAP IS NOT POP”
A little while ago I wrote an article called 5 Rap Artists You Must Hear Now. Or something like that. I’m too busy focusing on this killer song by Apathy to check. But, yes, Apathy was on that list. And, seriously, he’s one of the best rappers out there who isn’t a household name. But…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: ADELE: 25 [TARGET EDITION] = A TRACK-BY-TRACK REVIEW
Adele’s last album, 21, has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. If you didn’t buy it, you’re probably only a two degrees away from someone who did. Some people even bought it twice, having to own it on CD and vinyl. (I just went with the vinyl.) Billboard dubbed it the “Greatest Album of All…
I’m glad you like Television and I think all of the versions should be on Spotify!
Great review!
I’ve grown to love this album over the years. It’s so underappreciated. Thanks for the thoughtful review.
Very nice and informative interview
I really enjoyed this review. I was at the MSG shows and they were equally impressive.
