A few months ago, I wrote about Emeli Sande, but I just can’t get enough and I cannot wait for the release of “Our Version of Events” in June! Check out her latest performance of “Next to You” in the US on Conan O’Brien’s show below. Thoughts?

My friend Joshua Armstrong is working on a new project where he will release one song at a time over the next six months of so. In essence – a delayed EP release. From a listener’s standpoint, this will prevent songs from cannibalizing the other songs on the album. From the musician’s side, more heart [...]

I was listening to Toni Braxton’s last album the other day, not sure anyone else even knew she released it, but there is a song on there called “I Hate Love”. I found this slightly interesting that, now a few years later, her single is “I Heart You”. Well, Toni? Which is it? Toni Braxton [...]

I wonder if people realize when they are the dream of someone else. As I have mentioned before, Delta Goodrem is one of my favorites.

If you know me, you know that I can’t get enough cover songs. I think YouTube was created so that I could watch endless hours of cover songs. Some of my favorite produced cover videos on YouTube are done by Kurt Schneider. This particular cover is by Max Schneider (no relation to Kurt) and will [...]

Sometimes you just need a good pop song. Here’s to a good Sunday Enjoy
I know I’ve posted about this piece of heaven before, but today the official music video for “Run” by Matt Nathanson and Sugarland debuted on VEVO. I’m stoked that they will be performing this song on Dancing with the Stars tonight. I usually try to avoid the results nights of reality competition shows, but ABC [...]
