Oh, Robbie Williams, you never disappoint us… Whether you’re delivering hard rock hooks or fine pop ballads, or even the occasional hip-hop number, you never fail to come up with clever lyrics and it’s extremely rare that you release a song without a memorable chorus. In our opinion, you’re like the Elvis of our generation.…

Texas has always had a knack for concocting songs with killer hooks and razor sharp lyrics and they continue to excel in both departments on their new single, “Start A Family.” “No one knows you better than me,” sings Sharleen Spiteri, almost like she’s making a threat, her voice soulful and arresting.

Super synthy, semi dark, sugary sweet… One of iamamiwhoami’s finest songs now has a video. And it’s positively creepy. For those of you who aren’t digging the Christmas music.

The Veronicas’ “If You Love Someone” is an upbeat, positive tune… But the video is even more positive with lots of affirmations like “be kind” along with drawing attention to causes like stopping the hunting of whales and issues like police brutality. We suppose some people will watch this one and feel happy, as it’s…

Echosmith are one of the best pop bands to come around in a long time. But then our readers already know that, right?

A wonderful video for a spectacular song. Except to see St. Vincent in Michael’s 45 Best Albums of 2014 piece next week!
