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

May 15, 2023

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.

Review: ‘Glory’ by Britney Spears, a glorious return

August 28, 2016

Music·Now·Reviews

Britney Spears doesn’t like the idea of her making a comeback. She said as much on ‘For the Record’, the 2008 MTV documentary that served as a vehicle for her first supposed comeback, Circus. At the time, she was right to deny that era as a comeback because, artistically, what

“Leave (Get Out)” teen sensation JoJo is back, with edgy new music! Now 25 and grown, JoJo is still fed up and ready to tell her ex leave-get out on “Fuck Apologies.” The new single has more of an Urban flavor than her early on released 2000s Teen-Pop music, and takes hardcore

Single Review: Britney Spears Makes an Eazy Hit with “Make Me”

July 15, 2016

Music·Now·Reviews

Forget 2015’s “Pretty Girls” ever happened. On paper, a Britney Spears/Iggy Azalea collaboration sounded like pure magic. 2014’s breakout female rapper alongside America’s Sweetheart, what could go wrong? Nearly everything, minus the hilarious watch-worthy music video… Going back even a bit earlier, things began looking a bit shaky for Britney

April 10, 2016

Music·Now·Reviews

After a rocky start to Gwen Stefani’s third solo studio album—no thanks to the mediocre performing “Baby Don’t Lie” and embarrassing chart bomb “Spark The Fire”—surprisingly her divorce in 2015 marked a bright and much needed new beginning. After dissolving her 13 year marriage to Gavin Rossdale, Gwen was finally

Single Review: Maxwell dives back onto the scene in “Lake by the Ocean”

April 10, 2016

Music·Now·Reviews

Not every artist can take a seven year break in between albums and return to the very same open arms (and probably legs, too, in his case) as well as Maxwell can. However, the neo-soul fanbase is a loyal one, and of course fiercely so for one of its pioneers.

Album Review: K. Michelle has “More Issues Than Vogue”

April 2, 2016

Music·Now·Reviews

Never one to back down from getting people to talk about her, K. Michelle had originally planned to give her 3rd album a rather provocative title: I Ain’t White, But I Hope You Like. This album was supposed to be K. Michelle’s experiment with different genres, including Country, for which
