I’ve been a huge fan of Usher since I was a teenager (wow), Nicky Minaj….not so much. However, the beat on Little Freak is dope enough to cover both of them. Thanks to Polow Da Don, Little Freak is set to be a Springtime banger.

    …Why does this not sound like him? The original version I heard sounded better. Is this the mastered one? Wtf. It’s like his voice is at a wayyy higher octave.

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach

4.0/5

If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous

4.5/5

Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre.

Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love

4.0/5

While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]

Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
