This Is No Ordinary Love: Sade & John Legend Live in Boston
When you consider the fact that Sade tours about as often as Halley’s Comet appears, the fact that I waited until the 11th hour to pick up a ticket to their latest tour seems kind of…well, foolish. After all, the venerable British band has retained their popularity for over a quarter-century now. That has to be due to something, right? Add in support from John Legend, one of the most consistent artists of the past decade in any genre, and […]

A Blerd Birthday!
At the beginning of last year, I decided I had to make some choices. I wasn’t sure if writing was what I wanted to do anymore, and the main site that I was contributing to at the time wasn’t making me happy. After taking my leave from that site, I figured I’d take some time, try to rejuvenate a little, and then decide what I wanted to do as far as taking a “next step”. Well, folks-taking the “next step” […]

So to you Popblerd! readers who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a safe and joyous holiday. To those of you who don’t celebrate Christmas, enjoy your Chinese food and Tron: […]

Chart Stalker 8/26/10: There’s Life!!!
Eminem #1, yada yada yada blah blah blah. However, the remainder of the Top 10 on this week’s Billboard album chart gets an almost complete makeover, by virtue of six debuts and a reentry. The only albums in this week’s Top 10 that were also in last week’s Top 10 besides Eminem are Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs” (#7) and Justin Bieber’s “My World 2.0” (#8). This week’s Top 10 debuts come from R&B singer Kem (#2), singer-songwriters Ray LaMontagne (#3) […]
Sade's "Soldier of Love": Still Smooth After All These Years
People love to talk about the curse of Grammy’s Best New Artist, but what gets overlooked is the amount of times the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences has gotten it right. Case in point, the 1985 ceremonies. While nominees a-ha, Katrina & the Waves and Julian Lennon were has-beens in America by the end of the decade, eventual winner Sade has maintained a level of popularity for a quarter-century now. This is evidenced by not only the fact […]
