This is not my favorite song in the world, but Betty’s rendition is fantastic!

Puro Instinct’s 2011 debut Headbangers in Ecstasy was a dream pop record that washed over you like 65 degree sea water on a 95 degree day; refreshing, to say the least. In fact, I’ve heard countless dream pop records since and Headbangers is still my favorite. It just takes me away to some other, less…

“It’s coming back to you,” Brandyn Burnette sings here on his new self-described, progressive soul single “Karma,” and he’ll have you worrying that that bad thing you did is coming back to bite you in the ass any day now. “Be careful what you say and what you do,” he warns. “It’s coming back to…

I love it when I randomly come across a wonderful song. I just stumbled upon Danelle’s “Numb” when it came on after something else I was listening to on Soundcloud. It’s a perfect electro-pop ballad if ever there was one. Oddly enough, it even has some trap-rap style percussion, although there’s no actual rapping during…

To be honest, I do not think Panic! At The Disco’s latest album, Death Of A Bachelor, is nearly as good as the previous album, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, but “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” is one of the best songs on the record, if not the very best.…

Have I mentioned how happy I am that Kerli is making electro-pop again? Her dance music was great, sure, but her lyrics and voice fit electronic soundscapes better than club beats. At least that’s my opinion.

RAC has been one of my favorite remixers for ages now. His versions of Lana Del Rey’s “Blue Jeans” and Katy Perry’s “This is How We Do” are easily as good as the originals. His version of Foster The People’s “Houdini” is better than the original. I could go on and on. Well, now we…

“Bloodline” is the second song offered from White Sea, a.k.a Morgan Kibby, from her art project Postcards From Nowhere, which allows her to share an interactive experience with fans and gives her the platform to release songs whenever she likes without planning an album or EP. “I know a monster / It’s in my bloodline…

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Yes, Garbage’s new single, “Empty,” is so amazing that it deserves it being said three times. Well, OK, I’ve just used it four times. Do I need to say it again? Seriously though, Garbage’s pop sensibilities remain in tact as do their massive guitar hooks and Shirley Manson’s ever intoxicating voice. The…

Our readers in the U.S. might not have heard of Norwegian singer/songwriter Bellman yet, but in some parts of the world he is a very big deal. He released his critically acclaimed debut album, Mainly Mute, in 2009 and had his first big hit single with an uplifting song called, “Spaceship Move Slow” and it’s…

Lights new album might be entitled Midnight Machines, but it certainly doesn’t sound like machines. Quite the contrary, it’s an acoustic record. Just as she released Siberia Acoustic following her album Siberia, she’s released Midnight Machines as an acoustic companion to Little Machines, hence the title. The album opens with “Up We Go,” my favorite…

Back on March 10th, I named newcomer Mavrick’s song “Funeral” our #songoftheday and here we are three weeks later and I’m still listening to it every day. It’s such a massive and addictive song that all it takes is one listen to get you hooked. From its boisterous beats to his emotive vocals to the…
