Nessa Barrett
Pop music is not like it used to be. Once upon a time, “pretty pop girlies” – to use a vacuous though once often used phrase – were dismissed as nothing more than pop puppets forced by record companies to sing bouncy pop hits without depth, dance like robots and never dare utter a personal opinion. These days, young female artists are the ones pulling the strings; writing their own songs, crafting their own style and saying what they damn […] The post Nessa Barrett appeared ...
Maya Delilah — Maya, Maya, Maya
Maya Delilah’s “Maya, Maya, Maya” is the latest single from the British singer-songwriter as she prepares to release her debut studio album, The Long Way Round, coming this March 28th via Decca, Blue Note/Capitol. The track follows her previous single “Squeeze.” Have you ever returned home from a hectic day, dropped your bag in the living room, headed straight to the bedroom and dived headfirst into your bed because you’re so tired you can’t even lift a finger? I...
Lizzo – Love In Real Life
All that maniacal laughing in short clips has finally led to this very special moment: the release of Lizzo’s “Love In Real Life.” Fans have since been comparing the song’s vibe to Cher’s and Prince’s and the music video’s vibe to Michael Jackson’s. A little bit of pop, a little bit of soul and a little bit of rock was what it took to make “Love In Real Life,” and if you’re not dancing, nodding your head, or tapping your […] The post Lizzo – Lov...
Dasha – Not At This Party
Dasha is here with new music for the first time this year and the song “Not At This Party” is a strong contender when compared with the songs that other artists have chosen to open 2025 with so far. For fans, the song harkens back to her “Austin” days, making them even more invested to see what this year holds for the rising artist. In “Not At This Party,” Dasha sings about missing someone so much her heart refuses to […] The post Dasha – Not At This Party appeared first on ...
LISA – Alter Ego
3LISA’s Alter Ego is here and it’s as loud as anyone might expect, perhaps even more so. The entire album appears to be made up of slices of LISA, each one coming up more savage than the last. Prior to the release of the album, LISA informed fans that they will be meeting five of her so-called alter egos on the record, namely Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni, and Speedi. The idea to divide the album into alter egos came about […] The post LISA – Alter Ego appeared first on EUPHORIA..
Bradley Simpson
It’s a well-trodden rite of passage for any successful band member: after riding the wave of success with their bandmates, one or more will eventually decide it’s time to go it alone and hope for even more fame and an even bigger fortune. Robbie Williams did it. Beyoncé did it. Even Geri Halliwell. However, not everyone manages to replicate their earlier success as a solo artist. For every Harry Styles, who thrives both critically and commercially, there will be many […] The post Bradle...
Max McNown
The morning of February 11th was a hectic one for Bend, Oregon-born singer-songwriter Max McNown. Hours before his first of two shows at New York City’s Irving Plaza, news broke of a pop-up Paul McCartney show scheduled for later that evening to occur just a 20-minute walk down the street at the iconic Bowery Ballroom. As expected, tickets for the show sold out in mere minutes. McNown, comfortably sat at the lobby bar of the East Village Moxy hotel for […] The post Max McNown appeared f...
Sam Fender – People Watching
4There are few contemporary artists, even amongst A-listers, with the reputation Sam Fender has created for himself since the release of Hypersonic Missiles, his staggering debut record in 2019. RAYE comes to mind, as do Phoebe Bridgers and Mk.gee. Artists who emit feelings of nostalgia in updated, intoxicating ways, though they excel at concentrating and distributing their exemplary art to the masses. Fender, at just 30 years old, has supported the likes of The Rolling Stones and his idol Br...
Balu Brigada – The Question
Kicking off the year with a run as opening act for Twenty One Pilots’ Clancy World Tour dates in South America and Mexico, their second stint with the contemporary icons, New Zealand-born brother duo Balu Brigada have unveiled their latest single, “The Question.” Made up of Henry and Pierre Beasley (along with additional friends on the road), Balu Brigada aim to rival acts such as joan, Vacation Manor, and even The Vamps in the indie and alternative spheres. At points, […] The post Balu...
Coco Jones – Taste
Coco Jones served R&B perfection, with a pop side dish, in her latest single “Taste.” It’s a love song – yes it is! – that beautifully samples one of Britney Spears’ biggest hits, “Toxic.” Jones has been exploring her sexuality more and more in recent singles, and “Taste” is something along those lines. Even though it doesn’t get too up in your face about sex and stuff like that – Jones has been known to go there – there’s still […] The post Coco Jones – Tast...
Nao – Jupiter
3Nao is at it again! Imagine naming her fourth studio album after the planet known for growth and joy, Jupiter —this goes to show just how much she has moved on from her Saturn era. The album features production from longtime collaborators Loxe and Stint, with additional contributions from songwriters including Kareem James, Dyo, Soaky, Lauren Keen Dayyon, and others. In her press release, Nao explained, “Jupiter is the sister album to Saturn. Where Saturn was about tough lessons and growth, ...
