The genre, just like everything else, can be subjectively either good or bad, depending on how you listen to it. For the people complaining about pop not having substance, they’re not looking in the right places. There are numerous examples of the genre breaking boundaries, sometimes subtly, sometimes more […]

Since time immemorial, songs have been part of certain rituals and oral tradition. Come the 20th century, a revival, sometimes referred to as a roots revival, took place, with artists such as Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell popularizing the genre and taking it to new levels. […]

For this season, we’re tackling the usually more upbeat new wave and synth-pop. The reason for having these two genres together is because they’re close siblings. Particularly in the latter part of new wave’s peak years, a fusion of the two wasn’t […]

One of the things that makes it special is how its beauty, often, isn’t felt on the surface. One has to listen for subtleties to understand it fully. Combining elements of gospel, jazz, and R&B, the music is a celebration of African-American identity. Under its umbrella is […]

Everyday, a lover dies, prices increase, a dog runs away, and still, there’s no solution to that age-old existential dilemma. It’s time we drowned ourselves in the blues. Blues music is a foundation of almost everything we listen to today—rock, pop, country, you name it. Even the incredibly popular Beatles, who covered […]

From weird production techniques to cues from philosophy and literature, a new […]

Rock is a broad genre—there’s been so much good music from it released with a variety of styles over the decades. Narrowing those worth mentioning down to a best of list would do injustice to its different types, such as post-punk, […]

There’s something truly unique about jazz. A good portion of it isn’t like pop music, where things are straightforward and easy to digest. You’re not on the lookout for hooks here. Instead, you’re either digging deep inside yourself […]
