New Pop on the Block
Clock Opera – Belongings (Listen)This song is calm, subtle and contemplative – none of which are adjectives I’d normally use to describe the music I like. However, there’s something about this particular track which has really charmed me. I used to listen much more to songs which weren’t instant, but reaped rewards in time. I… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

He watches TV, I read my books
I wrote the other day about my love of documentaries that show the real workings of Planet Pop, and a very similar niche genre is the pop autobiography. I have found that there are two types. Firstly, there are the ones written by relatively new pop acts at the height of their success, who have… Continue reading He watches TV, I read my books

What’s Up, Doc?
Unlike many pop fans, I’m not that much interested in meeting or even reading/watching interviews with famous singers (unless it’s someone I really admire) but I love to hear about the experiences of people who used to be successful pop stars. They’re fascinating because, now having distance from the big pop machine, they can give… Continue reading What’s Up, Doc?
The Next Big Thing?
Olivia SebastianelliThe fact that Olivia lists Siobhan Donaghy as an influence will be enough to interest most of you in her, and if not then her love of Frankmusik and Ladyhawke should win over the rest. She’s a 17 year old London girl who recently signed to RCA and I reckon she could be a… Continue reading The Next Big Thing?

New Pop on the Block
Gail Scott – Jack N Jill (Listen)Gail, who usually goes by the nickname Scotty, is a new US urban-pop singer, and her debut single Jack N Jill has put her firmly in my ‘ones to watch’ category. Sonically it’s a female version of the amazing Like ‘Em All by Jacob Latimore (and she was even… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
