Pauline has a great voice and with these great songs it’s… Continue reading DP:UK

Haven’t done this for a while! Representing Iceland: Nylon – Losing A Friend (Watch it)Are we sure these girls are from Iceland and not Ireland? Maybe there was a misprint somewhere along the line cos they even seem to have Irish accents when they sing. If someone said it was Bellefire I’d believe it –… Continue reading International Video Challenge

Stacie Orrico – I’m Not Missing YouThis is the first song from her third album, which will be released this August, and I have to say I’m quite disappointed – it’s nothing on Stuck, More To Life or even I Could Be The One. There is no progression from her old sound – it’s all… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

It’s certainly not unique to the music business that the most important and influential jobs are held by men, in fact it’s probably better than most industries, but that doesn’t change the fact that almost every aspect of music has a male bias. However, that doesn’t mean we girls should be moaning – after all,… Continue reading Popping The Question: Is Music Too Patriarchal?
