Fall Out Boy fans whose first taste of Patrick Stump as a solo artist is via the Truant Wave EP are in for a surprise. The emo/pop-punk anthems that were the Chicago band’s stock in trade have been replaced by anthems that owe much more to the sound of dance-pop artists like Chromeo. Filled with danceable, shiny pop jams, Truant Wave suggests the work of a more lyrically inclined Justin Timberlake than it does anything vaguely reminiscent of FOB. Not […]

New Release Report 2/22/11: Adele-It’s About Time!
Generally speaking, I’m not one of those guys that goes out on a limb to search for something before it’s official release. I tend to wait patiently (or perhaps not so patiently?) to get the official goods. But with 21, the latest from British soul singer Adele, the waiting has been a bit more difficult than usual. Not only has the album already been out for several weeks in territories outside the U.S., but fellow bloggers and the rest of […]
“Truant Wave”: Finally! New Music from Patrick Stump!
In advance of the release of his upcoming album, Soul Punk, former Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump is releasing an EP entitled Truant Wave on February 22nd. The EP will be available only on iTunes. Patrick says that although he likes these songs, he didn’t feel as though they really have a place on Soul Punk, so he’s decided to release them separately. He also mentioned that Soul Punk will be one of those written, arranged, produced and performed […]
Your 2011 Grammy Preview: Courtesy of Patrick Stump
I must admit, this is pretty inventive. Going through my Google reader, I had to stop on a clip that purported to show former Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump singing each of this year’s five Record of the Year nominees acapella. Sure enough, Stump, whose solo debut, Soul Punk, is scheduled for release later this year, performs a relatively seamless medley of Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now”, Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind”, Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie”, Cee-Lo’s […]

“Soul Punk” Alert: Patrick Stump’s Solo Debut Almost Ready for Lift-Off
Ask me why I like (or liked, since they don’t seem to exist anymore) Fall Out Boy, and I will answer with two simple words: Patrick Stump. Guy can sing his ass off, and that fact alone separated FOB from the lengthy pack of emo and emo-esque bands that ruled the airwaves a half decade or so ago. The fact that FOB was also co-signed at various points by arbiters of taste ranging from Jay-Z to ?uestlove probably helped a […]
Keep An Eye on Patrick Stump…Yes, THAT Patrick Stump
I don’t really believe in guilty pleasures, so I feel no reason to hide the fact that I kinda like Fall Out Boy behind an “oh, but I’m sooo ashamed!!” Not to say that I was a huge fan, but I thought they had a few good songs and were certainly capable of transcending that “emo band of the moment” tag that they had when they got really popular four or five years ago. While Pete Wentz was the FOB […]
