Another year, another fantastic Record Store Day release by Garbage. This time around it’s “The Chemicals,” which features Brian Aubert of Silversun Pickups. But don’t expect it to sound like Silversun Pickups because it really doesn’t. At all.

This one is so good my jaw dropped the first time I listened to it. I’ve now listened to it three times in a row and I’m still in awe of how superb it is. Which shouldn’t surprise me because Todd Terry and Armand Van Helden have been two of my favorite remixers since back…

Armed with just the guitar and the sound of Chris Chu’s voice, POP ETC deliver an inspired cover of Tom Petty’s classic “I Won’t Back Down.” Their rendition is true to the original but there’s a different vibe about it just the same with Chu delivering more of a pop vocal and singing the chorus…

If the tremendously talented Banks made grandiose dance pop songs, they would sound an awful lot like the music of Charlotte OC, who has a similar flair for haunting melodies and insightful lyrics. “If my house was burning / Would you run or stay?” she asks during the lead track “If My House Was Burning,”…

Janine and The Mixtape, otherwise known as Janine Foster, started off playing open mic nights in her native Auckland when she was just 14 years old. It wasn’t long before she’d concocted her own unique blend of pop, soul and R&B. She released Dark Mind on her own label, Little Mixtapes Records, back in 2013,…

“Carmen” is French artist Stromae’s latest single from his excellent album Racine carrée. It is a “tribute” to Twitter and our consumption of tweets. (He even has a crazy blue Twitter bird following him around throughout the video.)

Yet another song where Ed Sheeran sings about drinking… In fact, this whole song is about feeling “the chemicals in my bloodstream.” So, I’m officially worried about ol’ Ed now. I think he needs an intervention. Stat.

One of the many things I love about Florence is her ability to sound both melancholic and hopeful at the same time. With most artists, they just fall into a gray area if they attempt to capture both ends of the happiness/depression scale at the same time. But Florence doesn’t fall into that grey area.…

One of the things that made the blogosphere fall in love with Tinashe was undoubtedly that she released her music for free in the form of the album-length mixtapes Black Water, In Case We Die and Reverie. Of course, her talent is what made these mixtapes stick. So many people wouldn’t have been downloading them…

This one is a relatively chill number that you can either dance or come down to. Either way, it’s a wonderful song. Kaleem Taylor’s voice has such a wonderful texture, a bit grainy, rough around the edges, and yet still quite smooth; it’s just perfect for this sort of song. And Snakehips beats and the…
