I was recently introduced to the music of Veiga Sanchez, who goes by the name Salt Ashes, and after listening to just a couple of her songs I already fell head over heels in love with her sound. Like any artist, she has influences and those influences can be heard in her music. But, here’s the thing…

Singtank is a French duo who mostly sing in English, such as during the above song, “Can You Hear Me,” which is a precious blend of synthpop, electropop, dance pop and… reggae! Chances are it’s going to be the most original song you’ve heard, and will hear, this week. But it’s not original in an…

interview by Michael McCarthy On September 10th I saw Doe Paoro open for Sylvan Esso at their sold out show at The Sinclair in Boston and was immediately impressed by her incredible talent. By the time she was done her second song, “Hypotheticals,” I found myself thinking that she should be headlining her own shows…

One of the most interesting things about Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Jillian Banks’ debut album, Goddess, is how decidedly *not* top 40 it is. Listening to her songs, you can’t help but think “if only.” If only the beats were more boisterous. If only the bass pulsated in a punchier way. If only the tempo were…

Grimes’ debut album, Visions, was a marvelous electro-pop journey of the most artistic variety. Our one complaint was that the vocals weren’t more prominent in the mix, often making it hard to understand what she was singing. Well, we’re thrilled to say that she’s increased the vocal level here on her comeback single “Go” featuring…

Color us damn impressed. Totem’s latest track, “Chase Me,” is one truly gorgeous, mid-tempo electro-ballad. With its monster beats and haunting vocals, it’s like the dreaminess of Bastille meets the potency of Imagine Dragons. Seriously, it’s that good. And he’s giving it away for free. Unfortunately, it’s in flac format, so you won’t be able…

We’ve loved LIGHTS from day one, since we bought her first EP something like six years ago. There are few people on this planet who make electro-pop and synth pop as catchy as she does.

If you like M.I.A. then you’ll more than likely dig “Ping Pong,” this hot new tune by Mighty Mark featuring TT The Artist and Sushi Samson, “Ping Pong.” Lyrically, it certainly doesn’t break new ground; “Big booty, shake it, shake it.” And if you’re stick of twerking then you probably shouldn’t pay much attention to…

SPC ECO: THE ART OF POP The best artists are those who are constantly changing colors like a chameleon if not downright evolving and SPC ECO make a great leap forward with The Art of Pop, an album that ditches all of those raw, distorted guitars in favor of delicious, pristine pop beats, uplifting melodies…

Yes, you’ve read the subject line correctly, Love is Pop fave Sylvan Esso will be performing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon tonight! We rarely bother to watch late night shows while they’re airing anymore because it’s easy to find those performances on Youtube the next day. But this one we’ll be watching live…
