[New Music] Saintseneca – “Acid Rain” Folk, New Music | (0)
It's like The Tallest Man on Earth, Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers had a blissed-out, stripped-down baby. And that baby was called Saintseneca. And the baby was good. Continue Reading...

[Remix] Adele – “Rolling In The Deep (Kwestro Love Scars Remix)” Ass-Shaking, New Music, REMIX! | (0)
It's been less than 24 hours since marriage equality passed the New York senate, and what better way to celebrate than with a gay icon (Adele ) singing a song of heartbreak that's been remixed into (you guessed it) a dance beat. The synergy is so fabulous I almost wish they could've spun this at Stonewall last night. Continue Reading...

I'm not going to lie to anyone: this update is being written by someone who has always felt Sade could do no wrong. Being a fan of Sade's sultry voice and soul-searching music for many, many years, I've listened to this single, "Solider of Love" from her forthcoming album of the same title and... I'm not really ready to make comment on this one just yet. It's definitely a Sade track. That's the most I can say myself right now. What do you think of it?
