The Popblerd Staff Picks Their Most Anticipated Albums of 2012! (Part Two)
One thing a new year brings more than anything else is promise. Whether you feel as though this is the year you’ll get that book deal you’ve been dreaming of, or that the cross-country road trip you’ve been planning for the past two years will finally happen THIS summer, the future, much like Natasha Bedingfield sang about in that Pantene commercial, is unwritten.

Popblerd! Presents: The Top 40 Albums of 2010 (35-31)
Check out #40-#36 here . 35.

Let’s give a hand to the guys and girls out there who are trying to prove that jazz isn’t just for old folks, dentist offices and elevators anymore. And I’m not talking about folks like Michael Buble-although by recording with artists like Sharon Jones and injecting some contemporary flavor into his music, he’s trying-bless his heart. I’m talking about artists like Marco Benevento and resident cheeky Brit Jamie Cullum, who releases his new album, “The Pursuit”, today. Well, actually-it gets […]
