Last year I saw Eva Pagán as part of the Unladylike Tour in New York City. Her set was acoustic, gay and mental health inspired. Eva was so good that I came home and bought all her available music. Her newest EP1 dropped last week and I bought it without a second thought or knowing…
Bonjour! Here’s a French toast to my newest favorite bubblegum-pop EP, PHIA’s French Riviera. My musical taste has been a little heavy lately, I think even Spotify became concerned. Perhaps that’s why my Discover Weekly playlist last week recommended PHIA’s song “Talk To Me.” I was sold the minute I heard the riff in the…
I downloaded Jules Paymer’s debut album, I Was Born Crying And I’ll Die That Way, Too, continuing my MAD (Moody Acoustic Divas) Era. If you’ve checked out my last few posts, it’s not a cry for help, really, it’s not. These singer-songwriters that I’m a fan of just keep digging deep into their traumas and…
It’s been a year since Lindsay Ell released her Love Myself EP. Her newest, Fence Sitter, is thankfully continuing on her pop journey. Four songs have visualizers and the other a lyric video. Many divas are putting out visualizers instead of a music videos lately. For folks from the MTV generation and too lazy to…
Sure, when it comes to big-name pop divas pumping out love songs for the masses, there’s a bunch to choose from. Perhaps you’re a Swifty, Olivia Rodrigo might be more your speed, or you’re like me and into Sabrina Carpenter because you love her Strawberry Daydream Refresher (hold the ice and cold foam) from Dunkin’…
When I heard Elle Coves was dropping a new EP (I loved her first one, Selfishly Inclined), I was hoping for more addictive pop which she delivers with No Good At Hanging Up. In my gay opinion, Elle seems to always serve the best sweet sounding pop. I love getting lost in her smooth, perky…
June may be over but the party isn’t, not when Tears & Gearz just dropped their new EP, Father Figure Fantasy. Every day is Pride and Father’s Day in Tears & Gearz world. This singer / songwriter duo’s sound is canned electro-pop with sexy and fun lyrics. Father Figure Fantasy is a little four-song taste…
I’m a huge Echosmith fan and when I heard the lead singer and sister in the group, Sydney Quiseng, came out with her first solo EP Phases, I had to check it out. Echosmith’s sound is very electro-pop but Sydney’s EP has a more stripped down, singer-songwriter vibe. I love a guitar and vocal focused…
And they like her better than me, ba dump bump. Still Living With My Parents is Nia Nadurata’s debut EP that came out earlier this month and it’s like a workout album at my level. Move over Richard Simmons, let me show you how it’s not done. Whether you pump your chin like a chicken,…
Welcome to a New Year and a new-to-me diva! Thanks to Miki Ratsula (a new-to-me diva from last year) lending vocals and cowriting skills to Jules Paymer’s song “The Daughter That My Mother Wanted” (a song of being haunted by others expectations of who they want you to be), I decided to check out Jules’…
