Josiah Hawley is quite possibly the worst contestant in the history of The Voice. The former male model was selected for Team Usher, and somehow, he’s made it to the Quarterfinals of the reality singing competition. He is extremely pretty, sure! But am I totally […]

The Wanted: “Walks Like Rihanna”
UK boy band The Wanted have struggled to snag another stateside Top 40 hit since “Glad You Came“, peaking right around the edge with “Chasing The Sun” and failing rather miserably with the straight-out-of-Ibiza follow-up “I Found You“. Whether you agree or not, the fact […]
MS MR: “Hurricane”
I’m still not sold on heavily-hyped band MS MR. The New York duo’s debut album Secondhand Rapture can currently be heard in full on Hype Machine, and I’m trying so hard to not draw comparisons between lead vocalist Plapinger and other female singers on the […]
Janelle Monáe & Erykah Badu: “Q.U.E.E.N.”
This weekend, I invite you all to queen the fuck out. When the word “queen” is thrown around as an insult within the gay community, it can have as much of a negative impact as our hetero brethren calling us “fags”. There’s no right or […]
Pet Shop Boys: “Axis”
Just to put things into perspective, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have been working together as Pet Shop Boys for thirty-two years. That’s longer than I’ve been alive! And yet, despite this—or because of it—they’re still going strong and keeping things moving as they prepare […]
Capital Cities: “Safe and Sound”
Although Los Angeles duo Capital Cities‘ “Safe and Sound” has been floating around since 2011, a new (and very fun!) music video was released yesterday afternoon. There’s a timeless nature to this track—largely thanks to the addictive synth line—that makes it okay for it to […]
Young Galaxy: “Pretty Boy”
“And I know you feel isolated, and I feel what you won’t say. I don’t care if the disbelievers don’t understand. You’re my pretty boy, always.” In a world full of loneliness and shady shade, there’s nothing better than the knowledge that someone will be […]
Lana Del Rey: “Young and Beautiful”
The theme of Lana Del Rey‘s “Young and Beautiful” has been covered by greater artists over the years. “Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?” she asks over a lush composition, and you’d like to think that would just make […]
Daft Punk & Pharrell Williams: “Get Lucky”
Approximately twenty-seven (or maybe just one or two) versions of Daft Punk‘s comeback single “Get Lucky” leaked late last week, until finally, the official radio edit made its way onto the ‘net on Thursday night. The funky disco track features vocals from mega-producer Pharrell Williams […]
Demi Lovato: “Heart Attack”
“Heart Attack”, Demi Lovato‘s first single since signing on as a judge for the US version of The X Factor, has everything you want from a pop song. The verses are bouncy and playful, the lyrics are simple enough to sing along to, and the […]
