We’re gearing up to do an interview with Molly Moore soon. In the meantime, we thought we’d feature her hypnotic video for her song “Blood. Sweat. Tears,” which reminds us of the piano ballads of BANKS. A blend of the sensual and the melancholic, Molly’s song is as gorgeous as they come, a ballad that…

Maybe you’ve got the Monday morning blues? Maybe even a Monday morning hangover? Just can’t get motivated today? Well, get ready for a shot of adrenaline! Zebrahead’s latest single, “Who Brings A Knife To A Gunfight” is one of those songs that just overflows with energy, has caffeine bursting out of every chord. Listen to…

Bo Rocha will release a new 4-track EP entitled Hold My Gaze on 9th September 2016 via Bait and Switch Records. In the meantime, your summer is going to sizzle with her just released new single “Enough For You.” The mix of its hard-driving beats and her fluttery vocals is direct and moving and sure…

I can’t remember the last time, if ever, that I’ve featured jazz on Love is Pop. It surprises me more than it probably surprises you. I do like a little jazz music with my Sunday morning coffee now and then. Well, to be sure, I listen to jazz on other days, too, but there’s something…

“Please tell me I’m broke / It’s much easier that way.” So goes part of X Ambassador’s “Low Life,” a song about fighting the good fight and losing. If you like melancholy, you’re in for a real treat here. This song will have you wishing you were a therapist so you could counsel the band…

Tuesday night – 6/21/16 – I was fortunate to catch Ladyhawke on the opening night of her North American tour, her “first time playing here in ages,” at Brighton Music Hall in Allston (Boston), Massachusetts. First, I must say that I was very impressed with her opening act, Polyvinyl labelmate Psychic Twin, otherwise known as Brooklyn,…

Aphex Twin’s new single/video is the song “CIRKLON3 [ Колхозная mix ],” which just so happens to be the first time Aphex Twin has released a video in 17 years. I dare say it’s his best song in 17 years, too.

We last heard from singer/songwriter KT Tunstall in the form of her Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon album, which was a haunting and delicate, folky affair. Her latest single, “Evil Eye,” is perhaps best described as pop. Irresistible pop that’ll surely brighten your day and make you listen to it on repeat, the two qualities…

Elisa has been one of my favorite artists for over a decade now. In Italy, she’s a superstar, a veritable household name. In a perfect world she’d be just as popular here in the States, which she really should be when you consider that 95% of her music is in English. To that end, she’s…

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 songs like this? I suppose you could call it…
