If you took Phoenix, Hot Chip and Passion Pit and chopped them up in a blender then made a gorgeous painting out of them and that painting could play music, Mcbaise is exactly what it would sound like. OK, so that’s a bit of a stretch, but those are the three bands I hear in Mcbaise’s…

“No turning back…” Our latest song of the day is Alvvays’ new tune, “In Undertow,” a mix of synth pop, shoegaze and alternative rock that is ripe for rejoicing because, well, it’s totally awesome! If you’re in the middle of winter right now, listen to this and it’ll thaw you out. It’s so sunshiny it…

A couple of weeks ago Selena Gomez surprised fans with the release of a new single in the form of the Talking Heads-sampling “Bad Liar.” Selena played all the main characters in the video in which she has a crush on her father’s mistress, who happens to be her gym teacher.

Well, kids, the dance-pop world has two new mascots to worship. One of the guys — assuming they’re guys — wears a fox mask and the other one wears a human mask except that it looks like he’s a human from Gorrilaz.

Back on February 13th of this year, I posted Sigrid’s “Don’t Kill My Vibe” as our song of the day. At the time, it was a little-known song that was only available to stream on Spotify. It had no music video and if it was on Spotify already it certainly didn’t have 24 million streams…

Massive, pulsating beats that nod to the pop of the ’80’s make Lily McQueen’s fantastic new single, “Chasing Your Love,” both powerful as gunshots and as addictive as nicotine gum. She’s so cool that she’ll frost up your headphones in spite of the fact that her vocals are smooth and warm-hued. This is one of…

It’s Goldfrapp so, of course, it’s good. No, it’s better than good. It’s fan-fucking-tastic. Let its throbbing beats overcome you and move your body as the dancers do in the red hot video. Or at least getup and dance. It’s a sin to sit there and waste a good electro-pop masterpiece like this, ya know.…

Co-written with Gotye and Milosh (of RHYE fame), this one is the best song I’ve heard so far this month. Kind of takes your breath away. So trippy and intoxicating. I can’t write anymore because my words wouldn’t do it justice. Just listen and feel. J.Views, how did I ever live without you?

INNA has been a major fixture on the club scene since around 2009 and has released approximately a dozen red hot singles, and a handful of smashing albums as well, including last year’s killer self-titled full-length. Her songs are always club-ready, and they usually climb the to the top of the dance charts, but she…

A year ago tomorrow I interviewed Boston artist Adam Jensen and we learned about his colorful if not checkered past. One thing is for certain: he’s a hell of a lot more interesting, not to mention edgy, than your average pop slinger (pun intended). On his latest single, “Tombstone,” he invites people to write “bad…

“Mixed Signals” is the third track on Robbie Williams’ latest album, The Heavy Entertainment Show. It’s also the album’s third single, complete with a video with three very different endings. More importantly, it’s my favorite song from The Heavy Entertainment show. “Party Like A Russian” and “Bad Motherfucker” are pretty fucking great, too, but there’s…

“Don’t Kill My Vibe” is the super cool debut single by 20 year old Norwegian artist Sigrid. It’s a feeling we can all relate to so it should come as no surprise that it makes for a great pop song. I’ll admit it took me a few listens for me to fall head over heels…

bitter’s kiss charmed us with her touching song and video “My God” recently, and she charms us again with her new holiday-themed song “These Bells Will Ring.” With “My God” she encouraged peace by pointing out how everyone thinks their god is better than everyone else’s god and showing people from around the world, embracing…

Adam Jensen continues to be brutally honest on his red hot new single “The Mystic,” singing about his relationship with his mother and sister and trying to stay sober, among other things, all over massive, punchy beats that slam against your head as you listen. In an infectious way that you’ll enjoy the hell out…
