True to form, Alanis is back with a new single and upcoming LP. Listen to her new song "Guardian" which premiered today. She is set to release Havoc and Bright Lights in August
Another no-cost way to please fans: Alanis Morissette's 1st single off her 1st album in 4 years, "Havoc and Bright Lights", is launching online with a lyrics-first approach. As a build up to the radio debut of "Guardian" later this week, the song's full lyrics are available exclusively on MetroLyrics. Fans will be able to interact with her lyrics by adding their own interpretations, discussing them with other fans, and sharing them directly to their social networks. MetroLyrics will also roll out daily, exclusive special features and videos leading [...]
Thank U, God. Canadian Rock Goddess Alanis Morissette is finally returning after four years with her seventh studio album on August 28, entitled Havoc and Bright Lights. From Billboard.biz: Her seventh studio album, it is her first release in four years. Guy Sigsworth, who has worked with Morissette, Madonna and Britney Spears, and Joe Chiccarelli, who engineered recordings for Frank Zappa, the Shins and Grace Potter, produced. The first single, "Guardian," will be available on iTunes [...]
With Deer Park Avenue, the Snyder sister travel in good company and make very good music.
Monster by Meg Myers Genre: Alternative rock Sounds like: Fiona Apple , Alanis Morrissette , Marina + The Diamonds Meet Meg Myers , a rising musician based out of Los Angeles. While details about the singer herself are still somewhat minimal at the moment , we do have an excellent tune to go by: "Monster," the lead track from her upcoming debut EP. The song was co-scribed and produced by Doctor [...]
This week marked the release of Kelly Clarkson 's fifth album, Stronger . But then again, you already know all about that thanks to my good friend Bradley's stellar review. Fans who pre-ordered the album from Kelly's official website were also given the option to treat themselves to her debut EP, The Smoakstack Sessions . Recorded at the Smoakstack Studios in Nashville, the 6-track EP is made up of alternate versions of select tracks from Stronger , a reworking of "If I Can't Have You" and a cover of [...]
Ah Betty ... how could you? Just a few weeks ago we were all bothered about yet another female celebrity caught naked, after someone hacked into her private cellphone stash. I still can't figure what's the problem - she took the pictures herself and obviously wanted somebody besides herself to see them (or else she could have just used a mirror to look at her own ass). Maybe she doesn't want us all to see these photos; maybe she just doesn't want us all to see these photos for free. Maybe she would rather [...]
Cady Groves - "This Little Girl" Cady Groves is one tough chick. At age 22, the spunky chanteuse is just beginning to make waves with her venomous debut single, "This Little Girl," co-penned by Cady herself and produced by Swedish superproducer Kristian Lundin . Crunchy and catchy with a storming chorus, "This Little Girl" certainly packed a potent enough pop punch to pique my curiosity — and I've had it on heavy rotation ever since it premiered a few weeks ago. But the best is still yet to [...]
First of all, let go of your expectations: "Mr. Know It All" is not the grand return of Yell-y Clarkson. Considering both the song's sassy title and lyrics-which Ms. Clarkson neatly wrote out on lined paper for us earlier today-the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album Stronger might give off the impression that "Mr. Know It All" is another dance-y pop-rock kiss-off anthem a la "Since U Been Gone" or "I Do Not Hook Up." It's not. Instead, Clarkson keeps the throaty howls in check [...]
For fans of Garbage , Hole , Fiona Apple , Alanis Morrissette and all other torchbearers of mid-'902s rock, take note: Your redemption has arrived. Skylar Grey is the much buzzed-about singer-songwriter responsible for some of the most devastating hooks in pop of the past year ( Diddy Dirty Money 's "Coming Home," Eminem & Rihanna 's "Love The Way You Lie"). (For more on her somewhat fragmented history as a solo artist and songwriter, check out MuuMuse contributor Sam Lansky's in-depth [...]
March 8, 2011 Anita Blay AKA CocknBullKid is a regular gal. No surprises there (maybe). When we turn up towards the end of the support group Sparkadia 's set Blay is to be found in the audience enjoying the music like everyone else who has paid to see her/them. The atmosphere is somewhat euphoric as the audience wait in anticipation to experience Blay's unique brand of pop quirkiness (and incidentally, she doesn't disappoint). Meanwhile, we get to hear a suited and booted bunch of Australian lads playing intelligent alternative pop in the style [...]
Over the past week, Diana Vickers has been counting down the days 'til Christmas by offering up a variety of special goodies and knick-knacks, including interviews, video blogs, contests-and now, free downloads. Today, Team Vickers released a previously unheard take on "N.U.M.B.," the gorgeous album track from Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree that was produced by Chris Braide (who I interviewed earlier this year -we even dished a bit about the track!) While not as emotionally raw as the album version, this [...]
If you are anything like me (which, for your sake, I hope you are not), then your first inclination upon seeing Matt Johnson 's sculptures, was to laugh out loud—more commonly known as LOL, LMAO, or the more obscure: LMMFSAOMMFASMF. Kurt Vonnegut once aptly said that "a joke is the only way [one] can enter an adult conversation." And, I get the sense that Johnson couldn't agree more. [...]
Katy Perry is probably the only pop star I could ever feel compelled to deem a "guilty pleasure." In my opinion, there are two types of catchy in the world: The one with pop hooks so well-crafted you'll want them replaying in your head until the end of time ("Umbrella," "Just Dance"), and then there's the obvious, derivative kind of catchy that cause you to itch and burn like an STD. Perry's productions are often in the latter category. In fact, they sort of like the music equivalent of herpes: Wildly contagious, annoying, and ultimately [...]
A friend scored a last minute spot on the list for the Anberlin show, so I tagged along as the +1. I agreed to go because I figured there would be some old skool fans in attendance. NOT even close. Da club was full of emos. To illustrate: I was searching for my emo styled friend (who will remain nameless), but I was unsuccessful because the silhouettes of skinny jeans, tight t-shirts and layered/teased hair all looked the same in the dim house lights. I don't have anything against this social...movement, if you [...]
Trent Reznor talks almost as much shit about other musicians as Kerry King does, but it's usually excusable as a) he's hilarious, b) he's right and c) he's so much cooler than most rock stars that even if he's wrong, it's still not very bothersome. For example, I once read an interview where Reznor said [...]
Tickets for the last McCarren Park Pool show of the summer (and most likley the last one ever ), go on sale today @ 10am. In related news, tickets for Alanis Morrisette at RCMH also go on early sale today for Amex cardholders. Finally, before I wake up today (Friday), Miley Cyrus will be playing to a small crowd of disinterested teens at Rockefeller Center for the Today Show Concert Series .
Interesting facts or useless trivia? You decide for yourselves... a funny read it is anyway! :) Madonna worked at Dunkin' Donuts at one time. She started her career as a drummer for the Breakfast Club . Not a big step from donuts to breakfast there... Breakfast Club - Never Be The Same (Shep Pettibone Mix) (MP3) [...]
