What a beautiful, tender song. Christina could have a hit with this one. Especially if they did a remix radio could play. Although I’d kind of hate for them to do that because it’s so precious as it is. But I really want Christina to be a superstar again, so if remixing this gorgeous song…

On the off chance that someone reading this isn’t already aware, Brandon Flowers is The Killers’ lead vocalist, who also plays guitar and keyboards, although not on every song. With the band, he’s released four original albums (Hot Fuss, Sam’s Town, Day & Age and Battle Born), a rarities compilation (Sawdust) and a live album…

Make The Girl Dance is a French group that’s probably best described as danceable electro-pop, though their bio indicates that they’re influenced by things like 60’s French films, hand claps and the Eurythmics. Oh, and Voodoo music! Can’t forget the Voodoo music! Extraball is MTGD’s second album following the hugely successful Everything Is Gonna Be…

Elliphant is nothing if not original and I love her for that. “If loving you was a crime / I wouldn’t mind to do the time,” she sings in the backseat of a car here, her hands and ankles tied together with duct tape as her lover speeds along, headed for trouble. “No one loves…

“I’m a fool for / I’m a fool for you,” sings Ryn Weaver during the chorus of her spectacular new single “The Fool.” As the chorus goes on, and she sings it over and over again, she hits higher and higher notes, eventually reaching so high she could put vintage Mariah Carey to shame. And…

She started off as the frontwoman of Moloko, but soldiered on as a solo artist after the band called it a day. During the next few years, she released two excellent solo albums, Ruby Blue and Overpowered,…

In 2013 Eliza Hull released a critically acclaimed EP called The Ghosts You Never Catch. The lead track “Christopher” appeared on MTV’s Awkward — the funniest show on television — and she proceeded to tour with the likes of Owl Eyes, Hayden Calnin and SAFIA. She spent 2014 writing the songs that appear on The…

First, I have to admit something here: until a few months ago, the only Spandau Ballet song I knew was the ballad “True.” It was released in 1983, which happened to be the year that I discovered heavy metal, so I probably thought it was garbage. At some point, though, it began to make me…

Voila, another Monday, another new song and video from the luscious Janine and the Mixtape… Call her the new Jessie Ware because her blend of pop and R&B is the smoothest, most electrifying genre-bender anyone’s heard since Ware’s last album. Sweet, musical bliss!

Wow, talk about a fun song! MIKA’s “Talk About You” is an instant shot of euphoria straight to your heart, lighting up your brain with bursts of brilliant colors. You won’t hear a more upbeat or uplifting song this week. “You’re the only one I wanna talk about / All I do is wanna talk…
