New York Fashion Week Music: Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 Runway Playlist
Rebecca Minkoff’s collection was inspired by photographer Slim Aaron’s work from the ’50s to the ’70s so she aimed to reflect her retro and modern looks in the music as well. DJ Cassidy and band Tennis performed on opposite sides of the runway as they provided the soundtrack for the show. I really dug how the […]
September’s Album Releases, Part 2.
Aaaaand we’re back for part 2 of this month’s album releases. Click through for some unsolicited advice about “Call Me Maybe” and a thought on the word ‘bitch.’ Oh, and music. I’ll be talking about music, too.
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 6 Perform’ Music Highlights
I was amazed by last night’s performances! It was a fantastic mix of fun and emotional pieces. The added plus was guest judge Christina Applegate because as a dancer and fan of the show, she can actually form opinions and give substantial feedback (I can still remember when Carmen Electra judged last season and it […]
Listen: Daley, “Remember Me” ft. Jessie J
The very talented 22 year old UK soul singer Daley has just dropped his first official debut single “Remember Me.” Daley got a lot of attention for his mixtape Those Who Wait (especially his brilliant collab with ex-Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius on slow jam “Alone Together”) so this new song is pretty exciting. It was a […]
September’s Album Releases, Part 1.
Ah, September. Cooler nights, layers, fall air, and…tons of new music? Who knew that this month would be filled to the brim with album releases? I have so much music I want to share that I need to make this post a two-parter. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up:
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 8’ Music Highlights
A top 6 already?! This week’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance was, in a word, intense. The eliminations portion gets especially stressful and heartbreaking at this point of the competition so imagine my reaction when my favorite male dancer got voted off. It was a Yelling Fest. Thank goodness for the always […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 10 Perform’ Music Highlights
Before I begin my mini recap of this week’s music from So You Think You Can Dance, I apologize for my lateness – my birthday was yesterday and it turned out to be much more busy and eventful than I thought it would be. But enough about me! Wednesday’s episode brought back the all-stars, who are […]
Music Video: Beyonce, ‘I Was Here’ (United Nations Humanitarian Day Performance)
Queen Bey has graced us with an amazing video of her special performance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on August 10th. With the help of the UN, producer Scott Robinson, and co-directors Kenzo Digital and Sophie Muller, this music video was created in honor of World Humanitarian Day (tomorrow, August 19). […]
Listen: Island Music to Top Off Your Summer
The end of summer is approaching and the feeling is bittersweet. But the season isn’t quite over yet, which makes the songs I’ll be sharing with you totally appropriate. Island music is the best kind to kick back to. This genre is characterized by a reggae/R&B sound and is usually made by artists of Polynesian […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 14 Perform’ Music Highlights
Tonight’s episode was all about the top 14 and choreographer Mia Michaels. All 8 routines (that’s including the amazing opening group routine) were choreographed by Michaels. While I was scratching my head over how she could choreograph and teach all those pieces in such a short time span, I soon learned that each couple’s piece […]
