  • Enuff Z’Nuff’s last album, Clowns Lounge, was basically an album of old demos with one new song, “Dog On A Bone.”  The new song, which I thought was killer, featured bassist and founding member Chip Z’Nuff on vocal duties.

  • Parisian-born Marie Seyrat calls herself a jerk in the lyrics to “Die Tryin,” a song about how you can try to “get” someone — to figure them out or relate to them — and it can seem impossible. Still, as you could guess from the song’s title, you feel like you’ll “Die Tryin” to do…

  • I’ve been a fan of Butcher Babies since they debuted, but I’ll admit that their music has often taken a backseat to their image.  That isn’t the case with this video for “Look What We’ve Done,” which is like a combination of a music video and a behind-the-scenes documentary.  That said, you really should listen…

  • Last month I interviewed Whitney Fenimore, a former contestant of The Voice from season 13.  Her single at the time was “Find Your Love,” a sweeping, almost ethereal ballad that blows across your skin like a cool breeze on a hot day.

  • “I wear my war face,” proudly proclaims captivating singer/songwriter Lowell on “War Face,”  the first single from her mind-blowing new album entitled Lone Wolf.  The album is her second and was released today on 4/6/18 and my jaw is still on the floor after it dropped as I listened in awe of her evocative music.

  • Today we have “Helium,” the excellent second single from the artist simply known as Salt.    I love the way the track blends synthesizers and snappy beats with her sometimes ethereal vocals.  The artist she most reminds me of is the great Florence Welch (a.k.a. Florence + The Machine), especially in terms of the production, which…

  • Baloji’s “Peau de Chagrin/ Bleu de Nuit” is one of the most stimulating videos I’ve ever seen.  Lots of beautiful colors and spell-binding imagery that could only come from Africa.  There are also quite a few disturbing images in this video that you won’t be able to get out of your head for a while.  It…

  • I imagine this would work splendidly as score in a movie.  Perhaps in a suspense thriller that takes place during the winter.  I imagine the protagonist fleeing from her captors, and she comes to the edge of a frozen lake, and her only chance of survival is to run across it and hope that the large…

  • Sweet, subtle and sultry are the words that immediately spring to mind when I listen to Louis Torre’s new song “Love is Blind,” which was just released on the date of this posting, 3/14/18.  To my ears, the track is nothing shy of a roasted to perfection blend of pop and R&B with notes of…

  • First, Stryper utilized a little death metal style vocals on “Take It It The Cross,” now they’re doing thrash riffs during the verses on their new single, “Sorry.”  These are good things, though!  I know some fans just want a To Hell with The Devil sequel, but I admire the guys for trying new things…

  • Bulgarian singer-songwriter Ruth Koleva’s “I Don’t Know Why” hails from her just-announced sophomore album, Confidence. Truth, which is scheduled for release on 3/30.  It’s an excellent example of what can happen when jazz and pop are blended into something that defies the unwritten rules of both genres.

  • Kylie Minogue, Princess of Pop, is baaaaaacK (with a capital K for Kylie)!  On her new single, “Dancing,” she does what she does best: she dances and she sings about doing precisely that.  (How joyous!)

  • As an actress, Kat Cunning has already appeared in Dangerous Liaisons, Cirque Du Soleil’s Paramour and Sleep No More.  You might call her a future star of the NYC arts scene.  But, in my eyes, she’s already a star.  I felt like I was witnessing one blossom as I watched her video for “Wild Poppies”…

  • Welcome back, Lily Allen.  It’s been a while.  Well, OK, maybe only four years, but that’s a long time.  A woman could have four babies during that amount of time.

  • If you like twisted, noir electro-pop then you’re going to be drooling all over yourself listening to Laure Shang’s richly-layered new single, which is surely the bleakest-sounding song called “I Love You” ever written.  It’s also my favorite song to be released so far from her next album.  (They just keep getting better and better,…
