Nxdia’s I Promise No One’s Watching

Nxdia’s last EP, in the flesh, was very sultry and smooth but their new album, I Promise No One’s Watching, is much harder and gritty. This album is a full-on indie-rock album. It’s not the album I was expecting but the album I didn’t realize I was missing. In my gay opinion, Nxdia has a…

Marina’s Princess Of Power

Princess Of Power is Marina’s sixth album and in my gay opinion, it might be her best to date. Marina’s first few albums were full-on electro pop, then her next few were more introspective and personal and now Princess Of Power has married these two super powers into a quirky space-age disco album of feminist…

Christie Brinkley’s Uptown Girl

Ok, full disclosure, I didn’t read Christie Brinkley’s new autobiography because I knew her from Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” video (also the title of her autobiography) or for being one of the premiere supermodels of the world (sorry Rupaul, there were queens before you) but it helped, the main reason was the chance to get…

Madison Malone’s Milk & Honey

Last week I got a surprise when Madison Malone unexpectedly dropped a new album, Milk & Honey. I love that she’s continuing on her pop trajectory and exploring doing something new, a sync album. For those who don’t know (since I didn’t), that’s music that is specifically made to be placed in films, trailers, tv…

Litany’s Sadgirl

Sadgirl is like a pop therapy…

Krysten Ritter’s Retreat

In 2012 I became a Krysten Ritter fan because of her show “Don’t Trust The Bitch In Apartment 23”. Which is no surprise, with a title like that. Its fun when she pops up on different shows or movies I’m watching. Most recently it was “Veronica Mars”; a pandemic binge watch and I just checked…

Zee Machine’s Can I Be Really Honest…?

Last month I went to the “Calling All Lifeforms…Is That All There Is To A Tour?” here in Connecticut. Zee Machine was one of the acts on the bill. This was my first introduction to Zee’s music, which is upbeat dance with some ballads thrown in and Zee’s stage presence has a gravitational pull that…
