If you like artsy, experimental pop then today’s #songoftheday should put a huge smile on your face. It delivers more sounds than one could possibly count, layers and layers of them, and it also shifts directions when you least expect it. A real artistic statement, not something even remotely aimed at the radio. All in…

This is the first Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley collaboration in years. In over a decade, I believe. In any case, they still sound great together. More importantly, Ace can still fucking shred. His long solo here is fantastic. It’s no wonder there’s lots of smoke — the legend is on fire!

There are albums that are difficult to wrap your head around and there are albums that are impossible to wrap your head around. I thought the album Triangle by Switzerland’s Schammasch was going to be the latter after reading the press release, which points out that it’s 100 minutes long, a triple album in three…

You never know where you’ll find a good song. I went to Youtube to check out a video by a rapper a record label sent me the link for. Well, to be perfectly honest, it was rubbish. But then this one came on and immediately grabbed me. First, I was just impressed by Ruth B’s…

“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…

Today Inglorious have released their new video for “Holy Water,” a swampy blues track from their self-titled debut released back in February via Frontiers Music. (Read our interview with frontman Nathan James here: https://loveispop.com/interviews/an-exclusive-interview-with-nathan-james-of-inglorious/) It’s the sort of wicked song you used to have to go to a crossroads and sell your soul to the…

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…

If I’m understanding Wiki correctly, Bonfire’s longtime singer Claus Lessmann left the band in January of 2015 with a few of the other members leaving around that time as well. Currently, it would seem that the only original member left in the band is guitarist Hans Ziller, who controls the name Bonfire. I know what…

One of the perks to doing Love is Pop is that people send me links to all sorts of promotional music downloads that they’d like me to review. The only trouble is that I’m only impressed by about 20% of them. But of those 20 percent, an awful lot of them are things that I…

Well, all of the critics who said there wasn’t a single on Rihanna’s latest album, ANTI-, can shut the fuck up now. If this slick, sultry R&B ballad isn’t addictive then I don’t know what is. I think it’s her best single in ages, one of her best songs, ever, in fact.

The Joy Formidable spent a year holed up in their own studio in their native Wales writing and recording Hitch, their third full-length album, which is a tour de force if a little long-winded. You see, the record clocks in at roughly 70 minutes and many of its songs are over six minutes long, the…
