97 Words: “red flag collector” by Kelly Clarkson

June 9, 2023

In 97 Words·Kelly Clarkson·Music·Reviews

Ever-proud Texan Kelly Clarkson takes us through the Wild Wild West en route to post-divorce “high road livin'” on the latest offering from “chemistry.” Of the five songs released so far, “red flag collector” by far has the most sting. Where last week’s “i hate love” was bittersweet, “red flag collector” is triumphantly bitter. Sprinkled with just enough “yeehaw”-inducing musical

Kelly Clarkson’s Journey From “You” to “me”

Amid increasing suspense, layer upon layer – voice, organ, and then strings, Kelly Clarkson proclaims, “I’m always pleasing someone, honestly, now I’m done,” as her voice itself is stacked into a one-woman choir.

Album Review: ‘Storyteller’ by Carrie Underwood

October 27, 2015

Music·Now·Reviews

Despite having had a big crossover hit with “Before He Cheats” and having pop and rock elements in her music, Carrie Underwood has always maintained a love for traditional country music. She doesn’t remix her songs for pop radio (“Before He Cheats” crossed over on its own merits), and she’s

Single Review: Say “Hello” to the slayage; Adele has returned!

Music·Now·Reviews

“I heard that you’d settled down”. Funny how Adele’s own words came to ring so true for herself. After the release and indescribable acclaim and success of her sophomore album 21 in 2011, Adele nothing short of disappeared. With the exception of recording the theme to the James Bond film

Single Review: Naughty Boy – “Runnin’ (Lose It All)” ft. Beyoncé & Arrow Benjamin

September 19, 2015

Music·Now·Reviews

British producer Naughty Boy enlisted Beyoncé and Arrow Benjamin on his new track “Runnin’ (Lose It All).” The Pop power ballad features piano chords, strings and the hard hitting drums that have characterised his work with Emeli Sandé.
