#albumoftheday = JESSICA: WITH LOVE, J

Posted Jun 20, 2016

S.M. Entertainment dismissed Jessica Jung from Girls’ Generation in 2014 due to scheduling conflicts related to the activities of her fashion brand Blanc & Eclare and the group’s schedule. Considering that she was a fan favorite, firing her could’ve been career suicide for Girls’ Generation, or SNSD as they’re known in Korea, but...

#songoftheday = DAWN RICHARD: “NOT ABOVE THAT”

Posted Jun 15, 2016

No comments

Dawn Richard delivers another twisted R&B song destined to toy with your head with her latest single, "Not Above That." It's so far out there that I'm not even sure I should be calling it R&B. Maybe there should be an R&B sub-genre called gloom for...

YOU HAD TO BE THERE (PART 2): BOSTON CALLING: SUNDAY, MAY 29TH, 2016

reviews and photos by Michael McCarthy As I previously mentioned, I was unable to make Boston Calling on Saturday. First, I woke up late at 11 when I’d meant to get up at 9 and take the 11 train into Boston from Lowell. Then I went to the train station to take the...

#songoftheday = AlunaGeorge: “My Blood” feat. ZHU

Aluna George's latest, "My Blood," is a slow-burning, steamy R&B masterpiece that will be perfect in a vampire movie someday soon. ...

#songoftheday = SLUMBERJACK: OPEN FIRE (FEAT. DANIEL JOHNS)

Posted Apr 23, 2016

No comments

Like many Silverchair fans, I still haven't gotten used to the fact that frontman Daniel Johns put out an R&B/neo-soul album (last year's Talk). That said, he lends his vocals to Slumberjack's latest, "Open Fire," and it's a contagious ball of wonderful, which also happens to be...

#songoftheday / VIDEO: Diplo & Sleepy Tom – “Be Right There”

Posted Dec 17, 2015

One comment

Diplo doesn't need help from anyone else to create a mammoth EDM banger, but he's collaborated with Sleepy Tom here anyway and you can thank your lucky stars that he did because the result is a truly invigorating beast of a song. It also features gorgeous vocals,...

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: CHRIS SAVOR: INTRO EP

Posted Dec 14, 2015

No comments

Sometimes you listen to something and it’s so unique that you feel like it’s a miracle that it even exists, which is certainly something you could say about Chris Savor’s Intro EP. For starters, the spctra-produced songs somehow manage to marry Chris’ soulful vocals with dark R&B, 2 step and even trip-hop sounds,...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: CHAIRLIFT: “CH-CHING”

Posted Oct 18, 2015

No comments

Chairlift, the duo known as Patrick Wimberly and Caroline Polachek, worked on Beyoncé's last album, Polachek writing and co-producing with Wimberly the R&B number, "No Angel." So, it should come as no surprise that their new single, "Ch-Ching" falls in the R&B vein. It's like...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: BOOTS – “AQUARIA” (Audio) ft. Deradoorian

Boots is fast becoming one of today's leading producers, especially when it comes to artsy pop. Most recently, he worked on FKA twig's M3LL15X, but he's also worked on high profile albums like Beyoncé's self-titled album. Now he's gearing up to release his debut album, which...

If you've read my review, you know I'm a big fan of Miguel's brilliant new album Wildheart. So, it should come as no surprise that his latest single/video, "NWA" featuring Kurupt, is today's #songoftheday. It's a downtempo, subtle sort of R&B song -- with a...

#albumoftheday / NEW REVIEW: MIGUEL: WIlDHEART

Posted Jul 20, 2015

No comments

If I’m being entirely honest, I expected this album to be incredibly dull. I’m not a fan of your average R&B and that’s what I thought this album would be, based on songs and collaborations by Miguel that I heard in the past. But, wow, this is an experimental mix of R&B, pop,...

#songoftheday / VIDEO: Tinashe – “Cold Sweat”

Posted Jun 24, 2015

Is it just downtempo pop or is it R&B or, perhaps, trip-hop? I say it's all of the above, though less on the pop side and more somewhere between R&B and trip-hop. I'll admit that it's slow moving, but once you've heard it a few times...
