Who the Hell is…Halston?

One cool thing about living in Boston is the local music scene. Even more so than New York, it seems that just about everyone here has some kind of music hustle. They sing, they rap, they play an instrument. Makes me wish I’d kept playing the guitar I had when I was a kid. Anyhow, a friend of mine posted this video on his Facebook page, and I kinda fell in love. The name of the band is Halston. The […]

His debut single, “Nothin’ on You”, is currently the #1 pop record in the country. They’re definitely working the “not your average rapper” angle with this dude. His second single, “Airplanes”, features Hayley Williams of Evanescence Paramore. He plays guitar and piano. Looking on allmusic for […]

I’ll get to the albums chart in a minute, but I must first register my surprise at this week’s new #1 single. British newcomer Taio Cruz jumps from #53 to #1 on the Hot 100 with his new single “Break Your Heart”, which features Ludacris (who will now have an impressive three songs in the Top Ten). I’ll admit that even as I write this, I haven’t heard the song yet (bad reporting, I know…but I have the Broken Bells […]
