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,…

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…

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 started June off by celebrating my favorite queer movie of all time, First Period, and decided to end Pride Month celebrating one of my favorite queer divas, Be Steadwell, and her new album Dear Ex: The Musical.

Echosmith’s [The Live Album]

I’m not usually a fan of live albums, the sound is iffy at best and you have to listen to the roar of the crowd between songs. Also, the chit-chat between songs is enjoyable the first time but after multiple listens, not so much. With [The Live Album], Echosmith released a high-quality live album that…

Kate Hudson’s Glorious

It’s no secret or surprise that I am a huge Kate Hudson fan. From her rom-coms like “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days” to her more serious roles in films like “The Skeleton Key” she’s someone that can always get by butt in a movie theater seat. When she released her book “Pretty…
