You may have heard the pop music buzz this week about a rivalry that seems to have come straight out of 2002; Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are battling it out. No, not on the dance floor (I don’t know if that post-breakup dance floor…
I’m not a big fan of cover albums. In fact, I sort of loathe when an artist relies on simply doing a note-for-note rendition of what was usually a superior original version; just, what is the point? However, when Jamie Cullum released his compilation The Song…
I was quite pleased when Justin Timberlake released his third studio album, The 20/20 Experience, earlier this year. It was easy for me to label it as Timberlake’s best album to date; the disc was filled with catchy pop songs, unforgettable hooks, superb production (from Timbaland and Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon) and,…
I don’t really care about Miley Cyrus. I’ve not heard much of her music; I’m 26 years old, and I pride myself in listening to mature, thoughtful music, like Radiohead and Coldplay (never mind all those Britney Spears songs on my Last.fm account). Cyrus’ recent…

I’d never heard of British singer-songwriter, Emeli Sandé, until last summer, when I randomly happened upon one of her songs on Spotify. I was instantly captivated by Sandé’s gorgeous vocals, and after listening to her song, Heaven, on repeat for most of the summer, I picked up Sandé’s…
I fell in love with British singer-songwriter, Mika, from the moment I heard his first album in 2007. Mika’s debut CD was based around the idea that he was going to be a pop artist, but not the standard one on the radio. He wrote…
It’s sad to see the slow decline of an artist you once loved. I’m not sure if Josh Groban’s music has really gotten worse over the years, or maybe I’ve moved past loving his brand of classical pop music, but either way, I’ve found myself…
