Jessie Ware Releases Soaring New Single “Say You Love Me”
August 12th, 2014 Tyler Hanan Jessie Ware‘s debut album, Devotion, was lavished with love from all corners in 2012. “Wildest Moments” was an especially transcendent gem. A huge, yet understated, gem that was paired with a similarly serene video. The singer had soul in spades and a voice to die for, and it’s long felt like a matter of when, not […]

REVIEW: Alicia Keys – Girl On Fire
December 4th, 2012 Grace Duffy Artist: Alicia Keys Album: Girl on Fire Genre: R ‘n’b, soul Label: RCA It seems like Alicia Keys has been off the radar for an eternity. Granted, she’s had an eventful couple of years – marriage and motherhood and a role in shaping one of the most outrageously addictive songs of recent years (Jay-Z’s “Empire […]

LYRIC VIDEO: The Bunny The Bear – Soul
April 11th, 2012 Grant Trimboli After weeks of trying to avoid the inevitable, The Bunny The Bear have released the ridiculous-looking lyric video for their track “Soul.” This honestly some of the worst music we have been subjected to in months.
