Confessions.
The following happened over a month ago, but I can still remember it like it was yesterday: I typed ‘one direction one thing’ into the YouTube search bar and began to listen to my favorite song by One Direction. I’m sorry, do I hear what? Oh, right, that’s my music credibility crashing and burning into […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 20 Perform, Part 2’ Music Highlights
The top 20 was at it again last night! The contestants are really delivering this season so it’s going to be incredibly challenging when it comes down to the finals. Let’s take a look at the music:
P!nk Debuts Cover Of Her New Album
P!nk just released the image of the album artwork for her newest album, “The Truth About Love.” We’re loving the retro rocker look! Her sixth studio album drops on September 18. (Can you believe she’s already at #6? She just keeps pumping out the hits!) If you can’t wait that long, you can pre-order her […]
Quick links: Passion Pit, No Doubt, Green Day.
We’re barely halfway through the day and there’s already a whole lot of new music to be listened to! Passion Pit is releasing their album Gossamer on July 24th. NPR has a first listen of the album here. I was a fan of 2009’s Manners so this release seems very promising. No Doubt has an […]
Download this: 10 Covers to Have in Your Music Collection
I was listening to Luther Vandross’s cover/medley of “Superstar” and “Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)” and it got me thinking about how the quality of cover songs has gotten off track since the YouTube era began. Ideally a good cover holds its own as a piece. In other words, […]
Listen and download free: Oddisee, Haim, Azealia Banks, Childish Gambino
At Collaboreight, we love free things. While I definitely don’t mind paying for good music, not paying for good music is icing on the cake. I have some songs, an EP, and two mixtapes waiting for you on the other side.
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 20 Perform’ Music Highlights
The latest episode of So You Think You Can Dance on FOX was enjoyable but I’ll be honest – overall the music was pretty lackluster for me tonight. Thankfully most of the dancing was dynamic and interesting enough to keep my attention. With all that said, I still made it out of the episode with […]
Listen: Frank Ocean, ‘Sweet Life’
“Sweet Life” by Frank Ocean Genre: R&B “Sweet Life” sounds like: a Bobby Caldwell or George Benson instrumental put over a hip-hop beat with smooth (but not cheesy) Stevie Wonder-like R&B vocals Worth checking out: the entirety of Ocean’s mixtape, nostalgia, ULTRA. (free download) The ideal setting to play “Sweet Life”: Blasting from your portable iPod […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Meet the Top 20’ Music Highlights
Last night on FOX, the top 20 contestants for season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance were revealed. I’ve been a fan of the dance competition since season 1 (though there are some seasons I’ve paid more attention to than others). The music that the choreographers and dancers use in the show is […]
Music Video: B.o.B, ‘Both of Us’ ft. Taylor Swift
The video: Yesterday brought the premiere of the music video for “Both of Us,” the latest single off B.o.B’s sophomore album Strange Clouds. It was shot in Nashville, Tennessee but don’t let the location fool you. This video shows a different side of the city and its people – great examples of gritty, rural Americana. […]
