Alternate Universe Albums: Priscilla Renea
Priscilla Renea’s recording career started so well. She put out an EP including the cutest pop song of 2009, I Fell In Love. She then revealed her proper debut single, Dollhouse, and I absolutely loved it. I couldn’t wait for her album to be released. Unfortunately when the album actually came along, it was terribly… Continue reading Alternate Universe Albums: Priscilla Renea

New Pop on the Block
Olly Murs ft. Rizzle Kicks – Heart Skips A Beat (Listen)My admiration for Rizzle Kicks (despite their music not being my typical choice) is well documented but I never expected them to rise to fame off the back of an Olly Murs collaboration. I doubt it’s what they had in mind, either. However they are… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Now I absolutely cannot wait for the UK version, first to find out who the judges will be (since they have to sing… Continue reading The Voice UK: My Predictions
