Back in 2004, I went to the theater to see “A Cinderella Story” because of Jennifer Coolidge and also became a fan of the movie’s star, Hilary Duff. I fell even more in love with Hilary during her seven-year run on the TV show “Younger.” Hilary isn’t just an actress, but also a singer. I’m…
In my gay opinion, Nadia Loren’s new Kiss & Drive EP is reminiscent of early Marina & The Diamonds‘ Euro sound. Nadia’s bubblegum pop is well-chewed; tasting of nicotine and indifference. I love that Kiss & Drive is Nadia’s first EP but she has a very been-there-done-that vibe. She doesn’t feel desperate to impress or…
Hey Spotify, you and your Discover Weekly get me. You really, really get me. What kind of diva would beautify herself up to roll around seductively on trash bags in the back of a dump truck? My kind of diva! Breaking news! Chappell Roan and Holiday Sidewinder had a secret love child and she’s no…
In honor of the new year, lets celebrate with a possibly new-to-you diva. If you’re like me, you might’ve been late to the Sarah Hollins party, but better late than never. Sarah is a singer-songwriter who writes most of her songs solo and has been putting out killer music for over a decade. Each EP…
It’s almost time to put 2025 to bed so I revisited my Spotify playlist with all my favorite songs from this year’s new album releases. This year’s playlist has quite a bit of moody singer-songwriter goodness and feel free to give it a listen: This year introduced me to a bunch of new artists, with…
This holiday season has been a quiet one. Not much happening on the music front. Just a handful of singles from some of my newest divas. The only long-standing diva I can count on almost every December is Ingrid Michaelson with her newest release, “Song For A Winter’s Night.” A cozy instant classic with Ingrid’s…
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’ll come as a surprise to no one that I don’t have any blink-182 in my music collection. To be honest, I couldn’t name a song of theirs until I listened to Madi Diaz’s, Enema Of The Garden State, her cover album of their 1999 album, Enema Of The State. I was surprised I recognized…
