Early this year Kris Angelis released her EP “That Siren, Hope” on Bandcamp. I was excited to get the EP and have a website to discover indie artists. Thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, I have time to explore Bandcamp more. After spending a few hours sifting through dozens of artists, I found a hidden gem. Gracie!’s…
In the past, Vanessa Carlton had a very distinct sound with strong vocals over pop piano playing but on her new album, Love Is An Art, Vanessa has matured. New songs like “Future Pian,” “Back To Life” and “The Only Way To Love” could have been on any of her previous albums but with a…
The Coronavirus is hitting everybody hard and in different ways. For me it means still having to work but keeping an extra social distance from my coworkers (easily done) and instead of going out at night to the gym, a concert, or dinner with friends (not as easy), I’m staying home. Just before normalcy came…
Lisa Loeb is the only diva I have stalked in the wild. Picture it, March 1998, it’s the middle of Nowheresville, Connecticut and I’m working the front desk of a car rental agency tucked inside a car dealership. My supervisor’s fiance is the manager of a nearby hotel, when they have someone in need of…
It’s no secret that I hate Valentine’s Day and cover albums, but I do love Lenka. When she released her covers EP Recover on Valentine’s Day, I was curious to give it a listen, but who knew I’d get the answers to many of life’s greatest mysteries. “We Belong” – What if Ginger never got…
I’ve been a fan of Echosmith’s ever since they first came on to the scene with their song “Cool Kids” in 2013. They’ve released a few EP’s since but I’ve been waiting patiently for a new full-length album. When I purchased a ticket to their Inside A Dream tour in 2018 it came with…
In my gay opinion, Anna Nalick’s new album is one that I shouldn’t like since it’s a covers album and I prefer my divas to share their own talents, like Anna’s incredible songwriting. The good thing is that the majority of the songs on The Blackest Crow are unknown to me, so it’s like a…
After a decade of no new Shakespears Sister music, Santa came early this year (poor Mrs. Claus) when they released a greatest hits, Singles Party (1988-2019), back in July and their Ride Again EP this month. Ride Again contains an Instrumental and Video Mix of “All The Queens Horses” and a Perfect Mix of “C…
I’ve done a bunch of Paula Cole posts. When I reviewed her album 7 I talked about how I first discovered her, how good she is live on This Bright Red Feeling, and how she helped propose to my partner when I blogged about Ballads. Now her new album Revolution is out and it’s the…
Friday the 13th is superstitiously unlucky but not for me. This month Marina released her Love & Fear Acoustic EP and I had a seat in the 13th row at the Rockland Trust Bank Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts to see her in concert. This was my second time seeing Marina in concert and this show…
