Welcome to WKBC in California, the station with 60’s and 70’s easy listening vibes with covers by none other than Belinda Carlisle. The Go-Go’s sound is gone-gone but her solo vocals are just as reverberating and strong as ever. Belinda’s new album, Once Upon A Time In California, has mellow covers of classics you may…
“Twin Flame” is the first song I heard off The Aces new album, Gold Star Baby, which had me excited for the album with it’s building dance beat and “Welcome To Gold Star Baby” (I’m really not a fan of intros or interludes, this album has both) promised an album “serenading you with sounds of…
I use Kickstarter to fulfill my desire to discover new music and most campaign perks scratch my itch for autographed merch. I use it like a dating app, swiping to search out new indie divas that strike my fancy. This past weekend, Gina Zo’s campaign to tour and put out her debut album, burn me…
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…
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…
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…
It’s been four long years that I’ve been waiting for Litany’s debut album to drop. In my gay opinion, her previous EPs are pop perfection and I was expecting her album, Sadgirl, to be more of the same but it’s actually much deeper lyrically but just as musically pleasing. Sadgirl is like a pop therapy…
Last week, after four years of being a fan, I finally got to meet Chloe Moriondo at an album release event at the music store Rough Trade in New York City where they performed four acoustic songs (three off their new album and one of their classics), signed copies of their new album “oyster” and…
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…
A lot has happened in the two years since I first discovered Heather Mae’s music (thanks to her partner and diva in her own right, Crys Matthews): First of which, What They Hid From Me, is a folksy-pop album with a few tracks (“Ash & Smoke” and “All’s Not Lost”) having a psychedelic 70’s vibe…
