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. Turns out, she’d actually been waiting a lifetime for a moment like this. Kelly Clarkson’s new single

Mariah Carey·Music·Now·Reviews

In the 21 years since the release of her 1994 original, and now classic, holiday anthem “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey has slowly but surely made herself a ubiquitous part of the Christmas season. Or, shall we say, we have made her such. Most prominently since the song’s ten year anniversary

Album Review: Adele’s ’25’ is picturesque and nearly perfect

December 7, 2015

Featured·Music·Now·Reviews

Imagine if the new Adele album had been sub-par. What would happen? A “Skyfall” is probably the best guess. One has to wonder what the album she scrapped sounds like. Maybe one day the world will be privy to it, but for now, let’s bask in the magnificence that is 25.

Concert Review: Adele effortlessly captivates Radio City Music Hall for NBC taping

November 18, 2015

Music·Now·Reviews

November 18, 2015

Music·Now·Reviews

There’s something to be said for Trina’s longevity as an artist, and a female rapper. She’s on the Louboutin heels of releasing her 6th album, something that puts her ahead of every single notable woman with bars in music today. Her closest competition in number of albums released is her

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!

October 23, 2015

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

October 21, 2015

Music·Now·Reviews

After a successful career with Disney and five albums, Demi Lovato has never looked better, and she finally feels Confident.
