December Album Releases
With the year 2012 coming to a close, not a whole lot of music is coming out. BUT I still managed to dig up a few noteworthy albums. See the latest from Tulisa, Ke$ha, Big Boi, Bruno Mars, T.I., and Angels and Airwaves after the jump:
Music Video: will.i.am, “Scream & Shout” featuring Britney Spears
will.i.am is coming back with a new solo album called #willpower on February 1st. His hashtagged album title might be something we’ll be laughing at 10 years from now because of sheer irrelevance (see: mentions of pagers/beepers by artists such as 3LW and Destiny’s Child) but who am I to question the longevity of Twitter […]
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2012 Playlist
This annual fashion show sponsored by Victoria’s Secret has been around since 1995 but it didn’t start getting televised until 2001. I started watching in 2005 when the big name supermodels were still around – Gisele, Tyra, Naomi, Heidi – and the lineup has changed pretty significantly since then. What’s most fascinating about the Victoria’s […]
Bandcamp: Name Your Price on Music Downloads
Bandcamp is a website where artists can sell their music and merchandise directly to their fans. Seems common enough, yeah? But what sets them apart is the ability for artists to provide a name-your-price option for their music. According to the website, “On name-your-price albums, fans pay an average of 50% more than the minimum.” Sounds pretty […]
November’s Album Releases
Aaaand I’m back. Can I just say: it turns out blogging about music without a consistent/reliable Internet connection is pretty hard to do. Hurricane Sandy did a number on my Internet provider so it was a very long 12 days until my connection finally returned. Hope all of you fellow east coasters are returning to […]
Listen: Jessie Ware, “110%”
“110%” by Jessie Ware Genre: pop soul/future garage Jessie Ware sounds like: Lily Allen’s cool sister that blasted Sade in her bedroom all day and hung out with people like Goapele and Adele (who actually is a close friend of hers) Worth checking out: “Running,” “Wildest Moments,” “Sweet Talk”…okay just listen to everything she’s ever […]
Download this: 10 Songs For Fall
I haven’t done a playlist in a long time but the changing of the seasons here on the east coast made it imperative for me to put something together. When I think of music for the fall, a few things pop into my head: blankets and a warm drink, the sound of your coat zipping […]
October’s Album Releases
September was overwhelming with all the music that was being dropped, so I’m totally okay with the change of pace this month. Click through to listen to music from 10 different artists including Ellie Goulding, All Time Low, Kendrick Lamar, and Taylor Swift:
Listen: Bruno Mars, “Locked Out of Heaven”
Bruno Mars dropped his newest single “Locked Out of Heaven” last night – what do you guys think of it? It sounds a whole lot like New Wave band The Police but I’m not complaining. His upcoming album Unorthodox Jukebox comes out December 11. Listen to the song below and download it here:
