Sophie B Hawkins’ Whaler Re-Emerging

Back in the early 90’s, you would totally hear me singing (quite badly) along to “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” by Sophie B Hawkins on my boom box (which I wouldn’t retire until the 2000’s). If that song didn’t hit your radar, there’s no way you didn’t know who Sophie was a few…

Be Steadwell’s Chocolate Chip City

Back in my pre-internet youth, I’d take the covered wagon to pick up the newest Sears catalog (What men’s underwear ads? I read it for the articles) or Tiger Beat magazine to find out about new books. Young adult novels with rainbow representation were nonexistent (that’s why David Levithan and Adam Silvera’s work is so…

Gina Zo’s Burn Me Into Something Better

Last month I backed Gina Zo’s Kickstarter campaign to help her get her debut album made and tour to support it. Today is a day to celebrate because not only did Gina reach her goal (which means I can go sit by my mail box waiting for my campaign perks to come rolling in) but…

Kris Angelis’ Le Sigh

Kris Angelis’ new album, Le Sigh, doesn’t drop until October 17th. However, if you preorder the album, Kris will reward you with an early access download of Le Sigh with two bonus tracks.

Marielle Kraft’s The Right People Will Love You

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’…

Welcome to WKBC in California, the station with 60’s and 70’s easy listening vibes with covers by none other than Belinda Carlisle. The Go-Go’s sound is gone-gone but her solo vocals are just as reverberating and strong as ever. Belinda’s new album, Once Upon A Time In California, has mellow covers of classics you may…

Elle Coves’ No Good At Hanging Up EP

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…

The Aces’ Gold Star Baby

“Twin Flame” is the first song I heard off The Aces new album, Gold Star Baby, which had me excited for the album with it’s building dance beat and “Welcome To Gold Star Baby” (I’m really not a fan of intros or interludes, this album has both) promised an album “serenading you with sounds of…

Gina Zo

I use Kickstarter to fulfill my desire to discover new music and most campaign perks scratch my itch for autographed merch. I use it like a dating app, swiping to search out new indie divas that strike my fancy. This past weekend, Gina Zo’s campaign to tour and put out her debut album, burn me…

Hello There

When folks think of me, they don’t really think “sensitive” (shocking, I know) but there is something about me that is…my teeth. Growing up, dental care involved brushing occasionally and a dentist visit wasn’t a luxury we could afford until the Ambesol couldn’t mask the pain any longer. As an adult, I overcompensated as I…
