We’re totally digging Ellie Goulding‘s latest single “The Writer”, even if it doesn’t necessarily have “Song of Summer” written all over it. While it’s nowhere near as exciting or upbeat as her previous output, there’s something very refreshing about hearing her vocals on a toned-down pop […]

In And Out Of Swim Trunks
‘Tis the season for hanging around by the water, and we know we’re not the only ones who appreciate gawking at all the hot jocks in their bathing suits. It’s just a shame that those aforementioned jocks don’t take off their trunks and fuck one […]
Aural Only: M.I.A.
We were trying to hold off on premiering M.I.A.‘s latest single “XXXO”, in hopes that a music video would make its debut in the near future. However, it’s taking way too long for the Hype Williams-directed clip to hit the net, so we’re just going to […]
Album Review: Marina and The Diamonds
In an ideal world, Marina Diamandis should be consumed in small doses. Listening to the entirety of her new album The Family Jewels is the equivalent of hanging out with a group of musical theater majors. At first the enthusiasm and high energy is refreshing. […]

Aural Only: Diana Vickers

When you consider the number of times musicians have channeled the eighties in recent years, this might leave an impression that they're "behind rather than ahead of the curve". However, […]
Aural Only: Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Sophie Ellis-Bextor's campy music video for "Murder On The Dancefloor" has always held a special place in my heart, to the point that I've never been able to appreciate a large portion of the work she's released since 2001. However, this may have changed with […]
Aural Only: Kate Nash
It's clear that we love our UK ladies here at Manhunt Daily, and singer-songwriter Kate Nash is no exception. She brought us such hits as "Foundations" and (our personal favorite) "Dickhead", and now she's returned with the first release from her upcoming sophomore project. Excited? […]
Aural Only: Estelle
Though British singer Estelle had a smash hit with her song "American Boy", the lead single from her upcoming album All of Me finds her departing from that formula to channel an entirely different sound. "Freak" was made strictly for the clubs, and it's sure to have a […]
