Proceed with Caution Mariah Carey has HAD IT, and she’s making it crystal clear before even one listen to her fifteenth studio album, aptly titled, Caution. Returning to a tradition of early albums, Caution clocks in at just 10 tracks, but what it lacks in length it makes up for […]
Up until about a week ago, Alex Christensen and The Berlin Orchestra were names I did not know. Now, they’ve been on repeat for the better part of the weekend. They’re currently working on their second series of recordings that put an orchestral spin on 90’s dance classics. Their latest […]
It has been 10 years since Janet Jackson has had a successful single. Her last was 2008’s “Feedback,” and even getting to its #19 peak was a long road. The 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction rendered Janet taboo to radio and television outlets, and she’s struggled to be accepted ever […]
Nicki Minaj might be the Donald Trump of rap.

The abridged version: motherhood, infidelity, divorce, remarriage, and paralyzing vocal issues. Despite the odds, Shania Twain remains resilient. 2017’s Now failed to ignite the same spark as previous albums, but that’s not […]

On Wednesday, Liam Payne performed his first headlining show at the Beacon Theater. On Friday, Harry Styles performed for a second […]
