This past Monday, October 28th, I took a day off from work (who doesn’t love a long weekend) to go down to Brooklyn, New York for the book launch of Marina’s new book of poetry, “Eat The World”. It was a beautiful day to walk from Grand Central, over the Brooklyn Bridge and a few…
Lindsay Ell’s Love Myself EP
It’s been four years since I first discovered Lindsay Ell’s music and finally last week she released her newest EP, Love Myself. I enjoyed Lindsay’s modern country sound which flirted heavily with pop but this new EP is a full-on pop EP and I am living for it. In my gay opinion, this might be…
Susanna Hoffs’ The Lost Record
Susanna Hoffs has always been retro. As part of The Bangles, at times they had a 60’s go-go dancer sound. Her Under The Covers trilogy with Matthew Sweet and her solo cover albums (Bight Lights and The Deep End) spanned and borrowed a lot musically from the 60’s through the 80’s. With her new album,…
Imani Graham’s The Space Between Trying And Silence EP
I first discovered Imani Graham and her music when she opened for Marielle Kraft last year at a show here in Connecticut and I’ve been a fan since. I’m also a fan of the show Heartstopper on Netflix so it was the perfect pairing when they used “Just Stay For Once” by Imani in a…
Abigail Osborn’s How Come Everything Comes Back To You? EP
I’ve been able to count on Abigail Osborn to drop an EP once a year for the past few years, but she unexpectedly dropped a second one this year, How Come Everything Comes Back To You? It seems to be a sequel to her EP from January, How Do You Know When It Feels Right?…
Chappell Roan
Welcome to Throwback Tuesday with a Today Twist! Back in the day, when radio was still a major thing, DJs used to take song requests and long-distance dedications from listeners who were loving, missing or secretly crushing on someone special in their lives. The last holdout, that I’m aware of, is Delilah and her Love Songs At…
Katy Perry’s 143
Katy Perry is back with a new album, 143, and it’s Katy Perry doing what Katy Perry does, pop music. Katy’s last few albums have felt formulaic, and 143 is the same. Each song is less than three and a half minutes to be radio friendly, guest vocalists (21 Savage, Kim Petras, Doechii, and JID)…
Paris Hilton’s Infinite Icon
This is definitely my year of discovering many diva I like for their acting, also sing. First it was Nico Tortorella, then Kate Hudson and now Paris Hilton. Paris first got my attention, probably around the same time as everybody else, in 2003 when her sex tape was leaked and she starred in “The Simple…
Donna De Lory & James Harrah’s Sing To The Light
Are you looking for some new music to walk your downward dog to? Do you need an in-store playlist for your crystal and oolong tea shop? Are you locked in the bathroom, soaking in a tub surrounded by candles and want tunes to tune out your screaming kids? Have I got the album for you!…
Ingrid Michaelson’s For The Dreamers
Ingrid Michaelson took a five-year hiatus between albums to work on the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical “The Notebook”. I’m totally into checking it out just because of her involvement, even though I didn’t think much of the movie it’s inspired by. It seems to have also inspired Ingrid to be in a…
