review by Michael McCarthy all photos by Joshua Bernard Nina Persson’s eagerly-awaited 4/14/14 stop in Boston was part of her campaign for her first ever solo album, Animal Heart, thus the tour being dubbed the #animalheart tour by Nina herself on Facebook and Twitter. The Boston date followed shows in Vienna, VA and Philadelphia, PA.…

Today’s song of the day is a hot — and downright infectious– remix of Petite Meller’s charming song “Backpack” by the French DJ known as Marlin. Although this remix packs a hard beat like the original version of the song, said beat isn’t quite as boisterous. It’s actually a longer, jumbo beat but it’s just…

Kenny Rogers was finally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame last October. Maybe the 75 year old wasn’t eligible until then — I admittedly don’t know — but it seems odd that the guy who brought country to the mainstream with his hit-filled early albums, the first of which was released in 1976,…

Super slick, K-Pop beats and lots of “sexy” lyrics — read the English translation if you don’t believe us — make for a super steamy, irresistible number with this new single from K-Pop superstar NS Yoon-G, who sings it in a sultry manner but never to a point that it sounds ridiculous. An uber-catchy tune…

MisterWives must be feeling pretty happy with themselves, their new EP, Reflections, garnering them positive reviews in such publications as Billboard, Interview, Buzzworthy, NYLON and TeenVogue. Then again, the band seemed charmed long before the reviews came in. In February of 2013 the group — Mandy Lee (Vocals), Etienne Bowler (Drums), Will Hehir (Bass) —…

If you follow the black metal scene at all then chances are you’re already familiar with Triptykon or are at least aware that it’s the new band fronted by vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Tom Gabriel Fischer (a.k.a. Tom Gabriel Warrior) of the late black/extreme metal bands Hellhammer and Celtic Frost. If I understand correctly, Triptykon,…

In order to write as many reviews as I do here on Love is Pop, sometimes I only have time to give things four or so spins before writing my reviews… And that was the case when I wrote my review of The Glitch Mob’s latest album, Love Death Immortality… I haven’t read my review…

Occasionally, since starting Love is Pop a year and a half ago, I will go into a panic mode when my favorite artists are releasing new albums because, one, I feel compelled to review them and, two, I dread the idea of possibly having to give one of my favorites a bad review. I experienced…

Émilie Simon began her career with a self-titled release in 2003. I happened upon it by chance when I was looking for a few new CDs to buy on Amazon France, as I had been a French music junkie since 1997 or so. I had no idea what she was going to sound like, but…

Lissie’s new covers EP was self-produced by Lissie and her band in their home of Ojai, CA. “We were approached to cover “Mother” by Danzig which led to a fun week in the studio that inspired us to lay down some other covers we had either been playing live already or had been wanting to…

Estereotypo sounds like quite the mouthful of a band name until you break it down, then it’s easy. See: E-stereo-typo. We’re not sure how they pronounce it, but we’ve been pronouncing it the way it sounds when broken down like that. In any case, these talented cats hail from Spain and their upbeat, super-synthy blend…

Frankmusik, one of the electronic music scenes very best artists, has been doing fewer remixes and more original songs of his own as of late. You could call it “pulling an Avicii,” but we do believe that Frankmusik started releasing songs of his own before Avicii, our point being that Frankmusik is an original and…
