Last year Kylie collaborated with frequent Lady Gaga producer Fernando Garibay on a four track surprise EP called Kylie + Garibay, which was given away for free on Soundcloud. (Sadly, you can’t download it anymore, but you can still listen to it.) The tracklist for this 2014 EP was: “Glow,” “Wait,” “Break This Heartbreak” and…

It’s 2015 and Duran Duran currently consists of Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor. The only member of the classic line-up who is not present is Andy Taylor, who has had nothing to do with Duran Duran since 2004’s criminally under-rated Astronaut album. Duran Duran’s last album was 2010’s Mark Ronson-produced…

I first heard Halsey when I saw her live at Boston Calling music festival back in May. She was a replacement for someone who canceled at the last minute and by the end of her seductive set, I wanted to call up and thank whoever canceled for freeing up the slot for her. I’m pretty…

I could go on and on about how Melanie Martinez should have won her season on The Voice but I’ll simply say this: she was far too talented — as a unique *artist,* not just a singer — to win a show where the singers perform cover songs almost exclusively. At the time, I had…

N-A-I-V-E-S was formed in 2012 when the stars aligned perfectly and all that jazz and Marc Jacc, a super talented multi-instrumentalist and the former singer of the French band Megasushi (Paris, 2006 -2012), met Lapo Frost, a hip Italian producer and bass player (Frost, Fanny Games) who was based out of London. Together they formed…

Ultra-synthy, gorgeous vocals, impeccable production — of course, it’s CHVRCHES! Rejoice!

Scavenger Hunt is an excellent ’80’s retro-style Los Angeles-based band that was formed in August of 2013. Its members are Jill Lamoureux (vocals) Dan Mufson (bass and keys) Nick Annis (guitar) and Aaron Prather (drums and percussion). On their Facebook info page they list influences like the Back To The Future movies (1 & 2),…

Hollysiz is the playful moniker for French actress Cécile Cassel’s music career. My Name Is, is her debut album and it’s been gradually taking the world of pop by storm ever since it was first released in France during September of 2013. In fact, it did so well in France that they re-released it in…

No, it’s not a Bee Gees cover… It’s an original club banger by Calvin Harris featuring Disciples. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever heard the Disciples, so I don’t know if the singer simply lent her voice to this track or if there’s a producer in the group — or are…

To quote the song itself, “Red alert – it’s contagious!” If ever a song summed itself up perfectly, it’s half Dutch, half Indian singer/songwriter Nathassia’s ultra-hot new single, “Contagious,” which we are very excited to be premiering on Love is Pop! It starts off with dark and seductive Massive Attack-esque trip-hop percussion, Nathassia’s vocals sounding…

“Warm Blood” is the fifth track to be released from Carley Rae Jepsen’s upcoming album E•MO•TION (out August 21st) and it’s easily the best. Produced and co-written by Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij, it sounds exactly like what you’d expect a collaboration between them to sound like, which, naturally, is sonic bliss.

White Sea is an enigma. “Stay Young, Get Stoned” is your new mantra. Understood? OK, so you don’t have to get stoned to enjoy this track, but it probably helps. And, stoned or sober, it should help you feel young with its au courant electro-sound that sparkles and radiates like warm summer sunshine on a…

If I’m being entirely honest, I expected this album to be incredibly dull. I’m not a fan of your average R&B and that’s what I thought this album would be, based on songs and collaborations by Miguel that I heard in the past. But, wow, this is an experimental mix of R&B, pop, funk, rock,…
