I’m always very excited when I find a truly awesome song that we can premiere, which is certainly the case with newcomer Olivia Cipriani’s splendid new single “Limitless.”

The wonderful thing about checking out new music is that sometimes, on rare occasions, you come across something so fantastic that you can’t believe you’ve lived your life so far without it. It’s that whole “where have you been all my life” factor, and that’s precisely how I felt the first time I listened to…

EDITED TO ADD: Around 11:30 this morning (January 27th) I was posting a new review and when I reloaded the main page I saw that the soundcloud player for this track was gone, which almost certainly means that it was deleted from Soundcloud. Perhaps he regrets expressing such absurd opinions.

I still feel slightly uncomfortable with Coeur de Pirate doing what’s essentially mainstream pop after being so fond of her early records, which were mostly her and the piano with lyrics in French, but I will certainly say that this is better than your average, synthy pop song and it kicks the shit out of…

It’s very fitting that the cover of Pillar Point’s sophomore effort, Marble Mouth, is quite colorful, bursting with sweet red, tangy orange, vibrant yellow, groovy green and electric blue. Plus, a little black thrown in for good measure, perhaps to represent the dark side within all of us. It’s one of those instances where you…

Well, folks, today we have news from Kanye West… He has tweeted the tracklist for his new album, SWISH, about which he tweeted “so happy to be finished with the best album of all time.” But what the list reads isn’t entirely clear. We see “Waves,” “High Lights,” “80 Hours,” “No More Parties in LA,” “Fade,”…

by Michael McCarthy If you like pop music that’s as addictive as chocolate but also has an air of sophistication about it, you’re in for a real treat with the music of 19 year old Kita Alexander, a rising pop star who’s been getting airplay from the likes of such influential stations as Beats 1, Radio 1 and…

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve heard new music from Elisa, one of Italy’s most celebrated singer/songwriters (who mostly sings in English), but I can certainly say that her new single “No Hero” was well worth the wait. I’m truly blown away by this one, which starts off sounding like her Rainbow era…

Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a good ballad, but today’s #songoftheday is much, much better than good. It’s touching with its perfect arrangement, not to mention his beautiful voice and the haunting lyrics… I doubt I’ll hear many ballads this precious all year. It’s that moving.

If you’re a metalhead who appreciates classical music, look no further than Exmortus and their fantastic new album Ride Forth, their second for the Prosthetic label. The Whittier, California-based band blends elaborate, classical-influenced guitar solos with double bass thrash drums, often proggy bass guitar and death metal vocals for a sound that is unique and…

Emmy The Great once again lives up to her name! “Algorithm” finds Emmy’s voice at the forefront, as she gently sings things like “pumping through my brain, it’s an algorithm,” her voice pretty as a peach. “Talk to me like you’re walking me home / Tell me something nobody knows,” goes one of the verses.…

There are so many DJs and producers out there making their own music these days… And, let’s face it, most of them suck. They lay down some punchy EDM beats, find a woman with a pretty voice to sing over them, and that’s it. You’re lucky if there are a few layers of other assorted…
