EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: THE MYNABIRDS, A.K.A. LAURA BURHENN
Back in 2012 I came across a song called “Karma Debt” by The Mynabirds and instantly fell in love with it. The sound of Laura Burhenn’s vocals alone was bewitching, equal parts velvety smooth and soulful, but her thought-provoking lyrics about war and debt were what really made my brain light up like a Christmas…

#songoftheday / REVIEW: MIKA: “STARING AT THE SUN”
No, it’s not a U2 cover… It’s another gorgeous MIKA original, which means a soaring vocal melody, vibrant beat and super colorful instrumentation all strung together by his always charismatic voice. Let’s face it — he could sing the Sesame Street theme song and we’d listen to it. He’s one of the brightest stars in…

#songoftheday / REVIEW: CARLY RAE JEPSEN: WARM BLOOD
“Warm Blood” is the fifth track to be released from Carley Rae Jepsen’s upcoming album E•MO•TION (out August 21st) and it’s easily the best. Produced and co-written by Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij, it sounds exactly like what you’d expect a collaboration between them to sound like, which, naturally, is sonic bliss.

TERRIBLE AUDIO: Meek Mill Feat. Quentin Miller – Wanna Know DRAKE DISS (Prod. By Jahlil Beats & Swizz Beatz)
We like Meek Mill, but he had days to come up with a decent Drake diss track in response to Drake’s two tracks dissing him and this was the best he could come up with? It’s just terrible. A trainwreck. He’s capable of so much better. This just doesn’t flow well. Also, the vocals are…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: NATALIE IMBRUGLIA: MALE
Way back in 1997 Natalie Imbruglia covered a song called “Torn” by a little known alternative group called Ednaswap and found herself propelled into global superstardom. It was from an album called Left of the Middle, one of the year’s highest selling releases. The record also spawned other hits, such as “Wishing I Was There”…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: THE BIRD AND THE BEE: “RECREATIONAL LOVE”
Recreational Love is The Bird And The Bee’s first album in five years, following 2010’s excellent covers album Interpreting The Master’s Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall and John Oates. During recent years, I’d started to become convinced that they would never do another album, largely because Greg Kurstin has become one of the…

KILLER AUDIO: DRAKE: “BACK TO BACK FREESTYLE” (MEEK MILL DISS TRACK #2)
As you’ve probably heard, Meek Mill recently accused Drake of having ghostwriters write his songs. Drake retaliated over the weekend with “Charged Up.” It was a simple track and not as good as Drake’s usual output, but he made his point. Following that, Meek Mill was supposed to drop a Drake diss track on Funkmaster…

LYRIC VIDEO: Sabrina Carpenter – “Eyes Wide Open”
It’s about as bubblegum pop as they come, but it’s not a horrible guilty pleasure.

#songoftheday / VIDEO: MIGUEL: “NWA” FEAT. KURUPT
If you’ve read my review, you know I’m a big fan of Miguel’s brilliant new album Wildheart. So, it should come as no surprise that his latest single/video, “NWA” featuring Kurupt, is today’s #songoftheday. It’s a downtempo, subtle sort of R&B song — with a cool, unflinching presence — that’s perfect for chilling out or…
I’ll watch anything with Jose Coronado but this series is making me think about changing that to “almost anything.”
I really enjoyed this review. I was at the MSG shows and they were equally impressive.
I’m glad you like Television and I think all of the versions should be on Spotify!
Great review!
Absolutely agree , this song just reinforces the belief in society that you have to be young and beautiful to…
