Hilary Duff is a crazy stalker in her new music video for “All About You”
Apparently Hilary Duff is exploring all avenues of insanity these days. In her last video for “Chasing the Sun,” she was a schizophrenic co-worker with an affinity for confusing her office for a Malibu beach. Now, in her latest, “All About You,” she is an entirely different brand of mentally unstable. The somewhat forgettable song is about being totally…
Meghan Trainor: ‘Title’
Meghan Trainor has become an immediate star in just the last few months with the release of her first single “All About That Bass,” which has been sitting atop the charts for several weeks. Just when the song was starting to get out of everyone’s heads, Trainor released her debut EP this month. The four-song…
The Lovers Key: “Saturday Night (Remix)”
When Christopher Moll linked up with Maco Monthervil, The Lovers Key project rocketed off in a blaze of soulful sounds and retro pop-infused tracks that finally manifested itself in their 2014 debut album, Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. The Lovers Key blends some exceedingly retro musical influences with a leading voice that sounds as if someone…
Young the Giant: “Mind Over Matter (In the Open)”
Young the Giant’s September release of another travel-induced, impromptu music video is here to add to their growing repertoire of roadside, seaside, and hillside (pretty much wherever) jam sessions belonging to their “In The Open” series. Their latest performance comes to us from the edge of Angeles Crest Highway in southern California, and, being next…
Brothers Osborne: ‘Brothers Osborne EP’
Brothers Osborne released their debut self-titled EP Sept. 9, a long-awaited release for the duo whose popularity increases daily. John and T.J. Osborne hail from Deale, Maryland and have brought a sense of their hometown to the album, even filming locals to appear in the music video for their current single. The duo’s music is…
Mary Lambert: “Heart On My Sleeve”
Mary Lambert is gearing up for the release of her debut full-length album, Heart On My Sleeve, on October 14. Mary Lambert became a familiar name after she co-wrote and provided the chorus on the powerful Macklemore & Ryan Lewis song “Same Love”. Since then, she has released two EP’s. The title track has been released…
Alt-J: ‘This is All Yours’
Alt-J consists of Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Green. Their second album, This Is All Yours, comes out September 23rd via Canvasback/Infectious Music. If you do some Facebook stalking, as I like to do with all artists I review, you learn something about alt-J. The name translates into a symbol; the combination on a…
Cory Branan: ‘The No-Hit Wonder’
I’ve never really been a big fan of contemporary country. However, Memphis native Cory Branan may have converted me. Here’s my beef with country music – it either transforms a mud-caked truck or a morning fishing trip into an emotional upwelling, or there’s too much boom-boom for my speakers. There is nothing wrong with country music and nothing…
Hilary Duff is a crazy schizo in her new music video for “Chasing the Sun”
A long time coming (even though I had no idea this was even happening), Lizzie McGuire Hilary Duff has finally released a new single called “Chasing the Sun.” Though it may not be “Come Clean,” and it’s definitely no “Hey Now,” it’s got a little something (not the least of which is Auto-Tune). Not only do…
Aaron Behrens and The Midnight Stroll: “Keep On Rising”
The energy remains in Ghostland Observatory frontman Aaron Behrens’ solo project, Aaron Behrens and The Midnight Stroll. The EP’s first single, “Keep On Rising” features Behrens’ familiar and passionate vocal vibrations. The single previews a more pop rock style in comparison to Ghostland Observatory’s electro pop sound. The small change introduces Behrens’ signature style and…
