New Pop on the Block

Kristinia DeBarge – Future Love (Listen)America’s latest pop princess has unveiled her second single, and it’s not bad at all. I think I still prefer Goodbye but Future Love has a nice, cheerful vibe about it, reminiscent of One Step at a Time by Jordin Sparks. This is the second song I’ve compared to One… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Question Time with Hannah

I’m not sure if anyone from Estonia has ever had a top 40 hit before, but with a no.1 on the club charts already, it seems like Hannah might be the first. Here’s an interview I did with her recently: Do you prefer the original or the dance version of Keeping Score?It’s a difficult choice… Continue reading Question Time with Hannah

Jade Ewen – My Man (Listen)For her first single after her reasonably successful Eurovision entry, Jade cleverly decides to alienate anyone who might have liked It’s My Time by releasing a proper R&B song, which surely would appeal only to those who wouldn’t be caught dead watching Eurovision. It’s not terrible by any measure and… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Did you know…?

1. Max Martin wrote one of the songs on rock band Bullet For My Valentine’s latest album. It is certainly not Max’s best, but I’m sure it’s a great deal better than BFMV can usually come up with. He also did a song with cello-playing metal-heads Apocalyptica and it was even worse, but at least… Continue reading Did you know…?

He had to go throw it away

I remembered what I forgot to tell you! You may know already, but Erik Hassle has made a new video for Hurtful. I always thought the original was a bit weird (and quite dirty too!) and obviously someone’s instructed him that the song needs something a bit more classy to promote it, especially now it’s… Continue reading He had to go throw it away

Since I’ve Been Gone

I didn’t have Internet at home for the last few days, so I haven’t been able to post anything. Several things have built up which I want to inform you of, so here they are, handily compiled into one post! Ke$ha’s first singleApparently it is going to be a song called Dolla, which is quite… Continue reading Since I’ve Been Gone

New Pop on the Block

Tina Cousins – Sex On Fire (Listen)I’ve heard that this cover has had such a positive reaction (even been played by Scott Mills on Radio 1) that it is going to be released as a single and a video is going to be made, but I honestly can’t see why. Then again, I don’t understand… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
