Hey there music lover! Like new stuff? Great! You’ve come to the right place. Each week all sorts of audiolicious goodies are unleashed onto the masses and this is where they come to be judged. I’ll tell ya what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s a waste of your time. Thanks for stopping by!

The Big News

Last week we ran into the audiophonic juggernaut that was the new Selena Gomez record, and this week the new Demi Lovato set, Confident, her fifth release and first since 2013. What a treat! I’m sooo excited OMG! I can’t wait to see who she’s collaborated with, is it Drake or… ok ok, I’ll stop. Y’all know I have no idea what a Demi Lovato is. Something called Joship Girl calls the single “Confident” “an amazing mixture of a Christina Aguilera “Burlesque” number and a Jessie J song, only without Jessie J’s over singing and arrogance.” I guess that’s a good thing.

An unplugged album from The Twilyight Sad sounds absolutely smashing, darling. Why do you have one? Oh, you’re kidding me! And they’re touring with The Cure next year? Honey, I don’t care if it is just “a collection of minimalist and stripped-back versions of tracks from 2014’s LP, focusing more on Graham’s voice and the sentiment within the poignant lyrics”, I’ll dig it!

  1. Do not like the Jessie J bashing…..calling her arrogant and that she over sings? I do like Demi’s new song, but the sound musically and lyrically is not Jessie J’s style at all so to compare that and insult is just poor taste……Jessie J is humble. She is the best vocalist there is without all the dramatics…
