We’re posting this because we know many of you like him. But we much prefer other dubsteppers, like Kill The Noise, Noisia and Feed Me. Skrillex might have been doing it first, but this is a case where the students have surpassed their master.

Ultra-catchy song that embraces being a little crazy. Nothing wrong with that! We’ve all got the chorus stuck in our heads now. Speaking of which, we love her lyrics. She’s witty and sarcastic, so cheers to her for that.

Frankmusik, one of the electronic music scenes very best artists, has been doing fewer remixes and more original songs of his own as of late. You could call it “pulling an Avicii,” but we do believe that Frankmusik started releasing songs of his own before Avicii, our point being that Frankmusik is an original and…

Dum Dum Girls’ first release, a cassette called Blissed Out, was as lo-fi as you can possibly get. Or pretty close to it. To my ears, it sounded less like lo-fi and more like shit. (It was a bedroom recording, in their defense.) But my opinion of the group has gotten progressively better with the…

This luscious ballad begins with Katy B singing softly over melancholic piano notes. “I still see your face like it was only yesterday,” she sings, her voice full of longing. Once it arrives at the chorus, a sticky electro-beat beat begins throbbing away accompanied rhythmic live percussion and humming synth. “Still, still on my mind…

A few remixes of HAIM’s wonderful tune that is “If I Could Change Your Mind” have surfaced recently and they’re all quite good. The Knocks remix is fantastic, for example. But it’s this MK remix that we keep going back to. It’s got a distinct ’90’s house vibe to it that makes the song sound…

We’re not sure what we think about the above video — probably because Mike is having horrible headaches and severe eye pain lately — but the song is undeniably catchy with its soulful vocals, intriguing guitars and faint but warm synth, along with bass that alternates between funky and throbbing. There’s even a pretty darn…

interview by Michael McCarthy If there’s ever been someone we’ve interviewed here on Love is Pop who needs no introduction it’s Nina Persson. But, just in case her name doesn’t ring a bell, Nina is the beloved vocalist of The Cardigans. In most of the world, they’ve had roughly two dozen big hit singles, their…

CLIENT has returned! Maybe you don’t know who they are. There’s Wikipedia for that. What we’re prepared to tell you is that new singer Client N brings new life to the group, igniting it with a spark not unlike that of Ladytron’s Marnie. And where CLIENT have tended to produce subtle electro/synth pop, the lead…

Fefe Dobson has never really gotten our attention before, but we must admit this is one catchy pop song with a positive message. “Three strikes / We tried / Now I’m in better hands,”goes the especially upbeat chorus. You could look at it as a song telling women to finally get out of abusive relationships,…

Roughly 14 years ago when I was publishing a zine called Ant, The Only Cool Magazine That Bites, as well as writing for Lollipop magazine out of Boston, I received a promo copy of The Dandy Warhols’ Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia in the mail. I listened to it once and it didn’t grab me,…
