I fully realize that not one person will agree with all my song choices or rankings. Furthermore, as a music blogger, I’m exposed to a tremendous amount of new music over the course of a year, both from the literally thousands of artists and...
Outside of the comedic relief that many people found in this song, we were gifted with a musical gem that is the group, Majid Jordan. Drake is known for finding people who are already amazing and introducing the mainstream to their talents and this iconic pop song is a perfect example of...
“Fell So Hard” has a slower tempo, with a melody and instrumentation reminiscent of songs by the Beatles in their mid-career period of 1966-68. I really love the mellotron sounds as well as the jangly guitar work that nicely channels that of George Harrison. Mikey J doesn’t have a p...
as does the piano-led “It Ends Tonight,” but it’s the opening song from The All American Rejects’ second LP, “Dirty Little Secret,” that’s the real gem here. A rock club staple and with an infectious, sing-along chorus, it’s undeniably fun, like this ...

One of the things that made Axl Rose’s lyrics so compelling was his sense of paranoia: it fed into some of their greatest songs, like “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Out Ta Get Me.” But it also informed this song. Musically, it has a very ‘Exile On Main Street’-Stones vibe, ...

era of the band arrived on the first album from the new lineup, but "Blue Letter" sounds like such a part of the rest of the LP that it's hard to imagine the record without it. The Curtis Brothers, friends of the pre-Mac Buckingham and Nicks, wrote the song, a breezy pop gem....
