I have a lot to thank The Walking Dead for (and if you don’t know what I mean by that, please discontinue reading this, locate your television remote immediately and proceed to hammer yourself over the head with it in a violent fashion for at least 3 minutes) Firstly, it played the part of non-prescription, tele-visual xanax. This was essential when the paralyzing panic set in after realizing I was completely ... Source: 1songday.com
Sometimes, my subject choices for Year 12 come back to bite me. While I now have the unrivaled pleasure of being able to describe how data is written to compact discs (thank you, Information Processes and Technology) and can explain the impact of music television on the American masses (Modern History), when it comes to decoding a track like this newbie from Next Big Thing Jessie Ware, I’m dismally underprepar...

There’s a lot of Iggy that I knew I liked before I knew what it was; the descending ma...

1990 single ‘Groove Is In The Heart’ from New York, New York dance band Deee-Lite’s debut album ‘World Clique’ could not be made today. It’s not that there is no convergence between hip-hop, dance and RnB. You don’t have to look further than any of Calvin Harris’ collaborations with the likes of Ne-Yo and Rihanna to realise that the three genres continue to overla...

I can hardly believe that ‘Like I Love You’ was Justin Timberlake’s debut solo single. Since installed as one of the pop icons of our era (even where he so patently aped the styles and mannerisms of so many of yesteryear’s icons), it seems an odd thing that his debut, Neptunes-produced and an ode to the funk era according to Pharrell, was this song. Going back to the beginnings of pop stars...
