REVIEW: LIBERTY 'N' JUSTICE: THE CIGAR CHRONICLES
Liberty 'N' Justice is a Christian hard rock/heavy metal band formed in 1991 by Justin Murr and Patrick Marchand. They released four albums as a band, but in 2002 the group broke up. Only Justin Murr, a bassist and songwriter, decided to keep Liberty 'N' Justice going by enlisting a who's who of...
REVIEW: CAMERA OBSCURA: DESIRE LINES
If you've ever wished that Camera Obscura would do away with their catchy hooks and up-tempo tunes then your prayers have been answered. Sort of. Here's what singer Tracyanne Campbell told The Scotsman about the making of their new album, Desire Lines: "There are a couple of pop songs on the record but...
REVIEW: TRICKY: FALSE IDOLS
I became a Tricky fan in 1996 when I bought his album Pre-Millennium Tension after a girl I'd just be out on a date with said that she loved him. She really emphasized the word "love," and it was clear that she more or less worshiped the guy. I thought she was pretty...
REVIEW: DEMI LOVATO: DEMI
I tried but I just couldn't get into Demi's last album, Unbroken. With a slew of guests, including Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Dev, Iyaz and Jason Derulo, I felt like the album was trying too hard to do too many different things. She'd already had a massive hit with the song "Skyscraper," which was...
REVIEW: ALYSSA REID: THE GAME
Alyssa is a Canadian singer/songwriter who was born in Edmonton, Alberta and grew up in Brampton, Ontario. She's been rising to fame in several countries ever since she first released her song "Alone Again" in 2011. The song immediately caught people's attention because it samples parts of "Alone" by Heart. As for how...
INTERVIEW: VALERIE RENAY OF NOBLESSE OBLIGE
By now you've probably read my entirely positive review of Noblesse Oblige's amazing, new, genre-bending album Affair of the Heart. (If you haven't read it, here it is: http://www.loveispop.com/reviews/review-noblesse-oblige-affair-of-the-heart/) I was so intrigued by the album that I was naturally curious about the duo who made it. Fortunately, I was lucky enough that...
REVIEW: SPACEHOG: AS IT IS ON EARTH
Spacehog's last album was 2001's Hogyssey, a criminally under-rated album. But, then, if you ask me, all of Spacehog's albums have been criminally under-rated. Their 1995 debut, Resident Alien, sold very well, but it really only spawned one hit, "In The Meantime," which also happens to be their only U.S. hit ever, so,...
REVIEW: VANESSA PARADIS: LOVE SONGS
Many of the people who'll be reading this review know almost nothing about Vanessa Paradis. To most people here in the United States, she's simply known as Johnny Depp's longtime girlfriend, as they were together from 1998 until 2012 and had two children. Some people might have read that Vanessa is a popular...
REVIEW: NOBLESSE OBLIGE: AFFAIR OF THE HEART
no·blesse o·blige [noh-bles oh-bleezh; French naw-bles aw-bleezh the moral obligation of those of high birth, powerful social position, etc., to act with honor, kindliness, generosity, etc. Origin:1830–40; < French: literally, nobility obliges Noblesse Oblige is a duo consisting of French-Caribbean performer Valerie Renay and German producer Sebastian Lee Philipp. While they're new...
REVIEW: THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS: LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS
I don't know why singer (and famous actor) Jared Leto and company decided to spell the word Thirty instead of simply using the number 30 this time around. Perhaps it's an attempt to put some distance between this and their previous albums? But one wonders why they would do that when their last...
REVIEW: FACT: BURUNDANGA
FACT released their self-titled major label debut in Japan in 2009 — a decade after they were formed in Japan's Ibaraki Prefecture — and quickly gained a strong national and international following. They have since become one of Japan's biggest and most-loved rock bands of the decade. In fact, their first two albums...
REVIEW: DAFT PUNK: RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES
"We're up all night to get lucky," Pharrell Williams sings as the now famous Daft Punk single "Get Lucky" comes to an end, but chances are you will be up all night to listen to this record. The thing about Random Access Memories is, it's such a seductive and enchanting album that once...
REVIEW: MUSIC FROM BAZ LUHRMANN'S FILM THE GREAT GATSBY
Music always plays a major role in Baz Luhrmann's films. The soundtracks for Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge are two of the biggest-selling soundtracks of all time and they are masterpieces. For the soundtrack for his adaptation of The Great Gatsby, he sought out Jay Z and entrusted him to find songs...
Review: Eden James – Going Down
It's hard to get inside my ears; it's even harder to get inside my brain. If anything I have ever written for Love is Pop consists in pure, unaltered fangasm or clearly a cry for help, sometimes, it feels good to focus on someone with talent, who sends you music just because they...
REVIEW: LITTLE BOOTS: NOCTURNES
It seems like just yesterday Little Boots — otherwise known as Victoria Hesketh — released her amazing debut album Hands, but it actually came out in 2009, and so four years have passed between Hands' release and the release of her sophomore effort Nocturnes, which was released on May 3, 2013. There are...
