Chii is a member of the recently formed J-Pop girl group 4TE, which I’ve been very impressed by so far and I expect that I’ll continue to be. To that end, I’m really, really hoping they’ll release a full-length album soon. Their music is one of the best things to happen to J-Pop since Kyary…

From 2009 to 2013 Dalea was the lead singer/founder of Quimera Music, a symphonic rock band. Now solo, she has changed gears and shifted into the realm of pop. Her new single, “Speed Racer,” is a delicious mix of electro and synth pop with a very chic, futuristic, sci-fi vibe that makes it immediately intriguing.

Chairlift, the duo known as Patrick Wimberly and Caroline Polachek, worked on Beyoncé’s last album, Polachek writing and co-producing with Wimberly the R&B number, “No Angel.” So, it should come as no surprise that their new single, “Ch-Ching” falls in the R&B vein. It’s like a mix between Beyoncé and their usual electropop sound.

If you miss the days of ’90’s club music, you’re going to rejoice when you hear this one. Massive, jumpy beats that call to mind old school techno merge with trip-hop percussion on speed; it’s an audible Frankenstein’s monster, comprised of the best bits of so many things that were previously alive, died, and have…

I was born in ’70’s and grew up in the ’80’s with a fondness for synthy pop like the Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys and so many others. Practically every song on the radio relied heavily on sythesizers. It was wonderful. Even when my beloved heavy metal bands (now called hair metal) came along,…

I first heard Halsey when I saw her live at Boston Calling music festival back in May. She was a replacement for someone who canceled at the last minute and by the end of her seductive set, I wanted to call up and thank whoever canceled for freeing up the slot for her. I’m pretty…

No, it’s not a Bee Gees cover… It’s an original club banger by Calvin Harris featuring Disciples. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever heard the Disciples, so I don’t know if the singer simply lent her voice to this track or if there’s a producer in the group — or are…

White Sea is an enigma. “Stay Young, Get Stoned” is your new mantra. Understood? OK, so you don’t have to get stoned to enjoy this track, but it probably helps. And, stoned or sober, it should help you feel young with its au courant electro-sound that sparkles and radiates like warm summer sunshine on a…

If I’m being entirely honest, I expected this album to be incredibly dull. I’m not a fan of your average R&B and that’s what I thought this album would be, based on songs and collaborations by Miguel that I heard in the past. But, wow, this is an experimental mix of R&B, pop, funk, rock,…

Totally digging this song but I think I like the video even more…

First of all, I’m actually a fan of Rebel Heart. I think it’s Madonna’s best album since American Life (criminally under-rated). But “Bitch I’m Madonna” is terrible. The song and video. The lyrics of “Material Girl” have more substance than the lyrics of this one. But, hey, pop music doesn’t require strong lyrics to be…

Welcome back, Class Actress! What an amazing tune! Pure electropop bliss. Lovely mix of warm electronic beats and glimmering synth. And the vocals… Sweet and sultry, ripened to perfection… The girlfriend experience has never sounded better!

Recently I reviewed Chungking’s incredible new album, Defender. It was a rave review during which I gave the album very high praise, comparing it to some of the greats, like Goldfrapp and Ladytron. I highly recommend that you read the review before reading the following interview with Chungking’s charismatic lead vocalist, Jessie Banks! But, if you…
