The Viewfinder: Usher’s “Climax”
OK, Usher. You’ve made a listenable song for the first time in what seems like years. Now what do you want to do for a video? Well, it turns out that the video for the Diplo-produced “Climax” is pretty damn interesting. I’m not totally sure what’s going on here, but it definitely unfolds in a way that keeps your eyes glued to the screen. Plus, the song is still dope. When did Usher decide it was cool to rock the […]
The Viewfinder: Karyn White’s “Sista Sista”
She’s back! Karyn White has a video out for her new single, “Sista Sista.”
The Singles Bar: “Black Gold” by Esperanza Spalding
How stunned were you when Esperanza Spalding took home the Best New Artist Grammy last year? Not that I was expecting Justin Bieber to win (not only did he not deserve it, but teen pop singers never win Grammys unless they are ridiculously talented along the lines of Christina Aguilera), but I thought Drake had a chance. Spalding was the last name on my mind. Anyhow, the bass-playing musician got a sizable jump in popularity (as well as some serious […]
The Viewfinder: Santigold’s “Big Mouth”
I know that I’m not alone among the Popblerd staff in my love of Santi/Santogold’s debut album from 2008. It was a tight and consistent disc, pulling influences from new wave, rock, dancehall and electro. I was so enamored with it, in fact, that I named it my pick for album of the year in 2008. So it is with great excitement that after four years, we’re getting new music from Santigold. Sure, she’s spent a lot of time in […]
The Viewfinder: Van Halen’s “Tattoo”
Van Halen’s forthcoming album, A Different Kind of Truth, is notable for being the band’s first with original frontman David Lee Roth since 1984. The band released the video for leadoff single “Tattoo” today, and it’s our first real taste of the reformed band, boasting a no-frills aesthetic in crisp black and white. And on first impression, it’s just fine: Van Halen’s glory days may be behind them, but the newly-rejuvenated boys seem to be having a blast jamming together […]
The Viewfinder: “Someday’s Gone” by All-American Rejects
Were you wondering what happened to the All-American Rejects? Me neither. Anyhow, it’s been almost four years since they last released an album. In that time, Tyson Ritter apparently still has not decided to stop looking like a Hot Topic-shopping 14 year old, and apparently the band hasn’t given up their habit of making songs that sound hella catchy on the radio for like a month and then you completely forget them. They are in the process of resurfacing-with a […]
The Viewfinder: “The Summer Place” by Fountains of Wayne
Technically, we’re still looking at a little over a week of summer left. So it’s not *too* odd for Fountains of Wayne to just now release their video for “The Summer Place”, right? Adam, Chris and the guys have spent most of the past couple of months touring behind their excellent new release “Sky Full of Holes” , so maybe it was just a situation where the guys had plans to release the video earlier and just never got around to filming it? Yeah, […]
The Viewfinder: Maroon 5’s “Out of Goodbyes”
How about this one, folks? A Maroon 5 and Lady Antebellum collaboration that features not one member of either group in the video? Ladies and gentlemen, I present you “Out of Goodbyes”. I may have been remiss in calling Maroon 5’s Hands All Over a flop. It’s been certified Gold, and Adam Levine’s hosting gig on “The Voice” has re-energized the album, as it’s crept back into the Billboard Top 200 with a vengeance. This song, one of the better […]
The Viewfinder: Rihanna’s “California King Bed”
While I think many people still think of Rihanna as a pop singles artist, her albums have gotten progressively stronger and stronger. Loud is a pretty solid piece of work. I’ve not listened to it as much recently, if only because I’ve been deluged with music from everywhere else, but seeing the video for the set’s fourth single, “California King Bed”, reminds me that I need to give the record a re-listen. A straight-up pop/rock ballad (I could see Pink singing […]
The Viewfinder: Stevie Nicks’ “Secret Love”
Stevie Nicks is certainly one of the more unique vocalists (and frontpeople) of the rock era. Whether singing with Fleetwood Mac, appearing as a support or background vocalist, or performing on her own, she has a sound that can’t really be duplicated. Stevie’s first solo album, In Your Dreams, comes out next week, and she’s just released the first video from the project, entitled “Secret Love”. In recorded form, the song actually rocks a little harder than it did when […]
The Viewfinder:Jamiroquai’s “Lifeline”
I can’t remember being as excited for a Jamiroquai album as I am for their upcoming Rock Dust Light Star. Does this album even have a U.S. release date yet? Well, why not? It’s not like there’s so much stuff coming out right now that it would get buried, right? Hell, given the dearth of new releases and Jamiroquai’s lengthy absence from the music scene, releasing the album in the U.S. now might give them the highest chart ranking of […]
