Abigail Osborn’s Bad Lover: Chapter 2 EP

Abigail Osborn’s Bad Lover: Chapter 1 EP was a great find the end of last year, so I was excited to hear the sequel that dropped this month. This EP is mellow and introspective, with all five songs co-written by Abigail and with a smooth-swaying pop sound. “Bad Lover” is a confessional full of dating…

Pamela Anderson’s Love, Pamela

Pamela Anderson is one of those divas that I appreciate for her public persona more than her body of work. I admit to never having seen an episode of Home Improvement or Baywatch…Tim Allen and The Hoff never did it for me. I may have seen her movie Barb Wire once back-in-the-day on VHS when…

Now that events are happening again, like concerts and book signings, I…

Holigay 2022

Every year I eagerly anticipate which divas are going to give in to the holiday spirit and grace us with their unique take on a traditional style of song. This year Santa’s sack is well-endowed with many dashing diva delights. A terrific twosome of singles, a dynamic duo of EPs and a perfect pair of…

Heather Mae

Last year I was introduced to the the album Changemakers by musical poetress Crys Matthews. I got to experience her live show this year at The Parlor Room in Northampton, MA and she’s great recorded but live she takes her talent to a whole new level. Last week, Crys tweeted about Heather Mae’s new Kickstarter…

Tiffany’s Shadows

Shadows isn’t your grandma’s Tiffany album. Gone are the days when Nanna could reminisce about all the times she would couple skate at the roller rink as “Could’ve Been” played over the PA sytem. Tiffany has traded in her jean jacket for leather and soft pop for hard rock. Her last few albums have taken…
