Vanessa Carlton has been a piano pop sort of singer/songwriter for a long time now, but somehow her beautiful new song “Blue Pool” sounds very different from her previous music. Perhaps it’s the production, as the song sounds like it was recorded outside, which gives the vocals a spacious quality. It also sounds as though…

Julian Moon is a singer/songwriter hailing from Salt Lake City Utah. She describes her music as “acoustic pop” on her Facebook page and I think that’s an accurate description. Listening to her songs, it’s easy to picture her sitting alone in a room somewhere, writing them on a trusty acoustic guitar. I randomly happened across…

I am grieving the loss of my pet turtle of 30 years right now, but this one brightened my day a tiny bit… I’ve always loved Lenka, though. To my ears, she’s like a cross between Natalie Imbruglia, Lily Allen and Kylie Minogue — all very talented women who I also love.

If you live in the UK then you probably already have an opinion about Clare Maguire. He debut album, Light After Dark, received very mixed reviews when it came out in 2011. Critics seemed to love it or hate it. And, of course, there were some who were wishy washy, publishing reviews that felt as…

“Wish I could say you’re not the one,” begins The Veronicas’ “Cruel,” an irresistible song that sounds like perfectly modern pop rock yet also has a vintage ’80’s rock vibe, calling to mind The Cars in particular.

Alexz Johnson might have gotten her start as the star of Instant Star, a cheesy show if ever there was one, but she’s since emerged as a fantastic pop singer/songwriter and “Cologne” is a fine example of that. It’s a sexy number about a woman and her man playing the game of love. First they…

One-time Hotel Café waitress Meiko has come a long way since self-releasing her debut album in 2007 (and re-releasing it via MySpace the following year). A singer/songwriter who routinely tells stories with her songs, her material tends to be very upbeat or entirely sad. Her new album, her third, is of the down-trodden variety. There…
