Pop

Hollywood’s guitar guru, Carlos Calvo, premieres his new single/music video today. It’s called 'A Dozen Years From Now.'

The Glass River is Paul Maged's musical commentary on prominent social topics.

'Do You Believe' emanates a noir energy, as if swathed in uncertainty bordering on disbelief.

'I Am' is average at best, beset by unrelenting syrupy melodies that are calm and collected and quaint.

Bash refers to himself as “a lucky human being,” and you can tell from the way he expresses himself that he's genuinely happy.

Ugly Boys have it going on. Gorgeous vocal harmonies and a captivating melody make 'Old News' a definite winner.

I really like 'Preaching to the Choir.' It is mainstream pop in flavor and color, but different and refreshing.

Even though there was technically one last night of South by Southwest 2018, it still seemed as if Saturday was the festival's one true finale.

The best tune on 'Abacus' is definitely “Peru,” because of its mounting structure.

There's a feeling of fine control you get when you listen to a Kim Richey album. Her songs dig outward in two directions from country/americana, into both folk and pop. And her silvery vocals, burnished with a constant, cool vibrato, lack twangy affectation, sounding almost weirdly non-manipulative – to paradoxically emotional effect.
