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…

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

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…

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…

Catherine Cohen

Attention Fags & Hags! I might be late to the party, and if that’s the case, shame on anyone who knew about Catherine Cohen and didn’t tell me. If you’re unaware of Cat, let me introduce you to one of the funniest divas I’ve discovered in a while. She’s got the humor of Julie Brown,…

Crys Matthews’ Reclamation

July of last year, Crys Matthews had a Kickstarter campaign to get her album Reclamation made. I backed the campaign, of course, wanting to get my autographed CD (I’m all about the signed merch). A huge perk of backing the campaign was getting a download of the album months before everyone else, so I’ve had…

Camille Schmidt’s Nude #9

Nude #9 is Camille Schmidt’s brand new album and she’s continuing to work her folksy-pop sound on much of it, but there are a few tracks that surprisingly veer from her usual style. She branches out a lot on this album and flirts with a lot of different styles. “XOXO” goes very electro-pop with heavily…
