Now that Sia is providing guest vocals on everything and anything that can be listened to using ears, the floodgates are open for interesting dance tracks with lovely female vocals. Step forwards Figure of 8 and Sophie Galpin . 'No One Cries For Me' is more subtle than a David Guetta track, but it deserves to be just as huge. There are throbbing guitars and heartbreaking lyrics (hello co-writer Bright Light Bright Light ). With lines like "my eyes are crying on the inside, but no-one cries for me" you [...]
I've been dying to write about this for a while now, the new single from Figure Of 8 , 'No One Cries For Me', out next week on On The Fruit Records . Belfast's purveyor of all things Pop and House enlisted the help of Bright Light Bright Light and Our Krypton Son and the sublime vocals of Sophie Galpin to create a deep , soulful slice of ElectroPop that will stay with you all day after just one listen. The track has a Balearic, sunrise feel to it, but [...]
Ahhh February, when the weather is not consistent, children of love find more ways to spend money on each other and we at Kick Kick Snare show our lust for all of you, by throwing 20 songs on a digital mixtape (CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE). We here at KKS are extremely excited for February, why? Because we've got some monstrous, mind melting, disco ball-breaking stuff going on backstage, and we will soon be inviting you to the VIP room. In light of this exciting month in KKS history, I thought it would be interesting to expand our horizons with [...]

![[MUST HAVE] Bright Light Bright Light: Blueprints 1 EP Review](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4008646_lg.jpg)
Long time favorite of mine Bright Light Bright Light , aka Rod Thomas, just released his first US EP today. Blueprints 1 is a beautifully rich, honest, and touching collection of songs from one most talented musicians in the pop world. Blueprints is a stark and gorgeous departure from the textured, emotional synth-pop he has become loved and known for. Stripped down to a single piano, Rod's voice and the voices of musicians he has worked with over the course of a year hard at work creating his debut album. In a letter to fans Rod [...]
"All It Takes" is the long-awaited third single from Marquez Ill on Voltage Musique. Definitely worth waiting for, "All It Takes" features vocals by Bright Light Bright Light, one of London's up and coming talents. With a pinch of House music and a dash of Pop attitude "All It Takes" gives some much-needed soul to club music. http://electrowow-music.blogsp ot.com
In part one of our REAL Sound Of 2012 we looked at already established and establishing artists, but in part two, we're all about the newbies. These acts are the ones we're supporting in 2012 and hoping they'll go all the way to the top. BUBBLING UNDER OH MY! Alex and Jade have been on the pop radar for the better part of the year, but they are yet to make their big splash which is why we've categorised them [...]
In prepping for their upcoming headlining show in London at 93 Feet East Fear of Tigers have put together a 48 minute musical ride for all of us to enjoy. The continuous remix track is loaded to the brim with KKS favorites and a few artists we are happy to be introduced to. Fear of Tigers take each track and infuse it with driving synth, dark beats and a sound meant for sweaty, dancey nightclubs. They start off the the whole ride with Vanbot who really is an amazing artist, that if you [...]
![[REVIEW] Nicola Roberts: Cinderella's Eyes](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3774402_lg.jpg)
Being part of one of the best selling girl pop groups in the world is a very mixed blessing, even writing about them can be treacherous. Will people assume manufactured over organic, trite over substantive, programmed over natural talent? Even more so if you are not one of the "stars" of the group how do you fit into the overall scheme of music, pop, and credibility. Girls Aloud was spawned from a reality show competition and produced hit, after hit, after hit (20 top 102s) until the 5 members decided to take time to pursue solo endeavors. First [...]
We have just got back from the Bright Light Bright Light 'Disco Moment' single launch. It was in a hotel in London. There was glitter, dancing, alcohol and music. So as you can imagine we are on fine form. We have a very busy day tomorrow so we planned ahead and took photos of the contents of our 'goodie bag' on the way home. Observe. First here is Bright Light Bright Light on stage singing a song. It may be the single [...]
There aren't many male popstars who can rival their female counterparts in the pop game. While we have the Kylies, the Madonnas, the Beyoncés or the Rachel Stevens (insert LOL here), I can't really think of a male artist who's able to offer ballsy, sexy electro-infused pop coupled with strong visuals and big arena shows. There was Robbie Williams at some point but he was aiming at a more "rock" image, wasn't he? Great pop guys seem to be more indie, like Bright Light Bright Light , Penguin Prison , [...]

There's quite a few pop tracks being unleashed on the world this week, but only one that we're interested in spending any money on. In fact, we already have. In the interests of fairness, we're obliged to tell you about the others too, just in case your taste isn't as refined as ours. Remember X Factor girl group Belle Amie? Named after a porn site? Yes, now we're jogging your memory… Well, they're a member down since their stint on the show, but they now have a single called 'Girls Up' , which has a really good [...]
![[PLAYLIST] The It's Pop sound of Summer '11](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3636681_lg.jpg)
Credit : FlickR cc Susan NYC With a Summer weather as depressing as a Pitbull x Nicki Minaj x Mohombi x Will.I.Am x Cali collaboration (you KNOW it's going to happen at some point), I thought we might as well a) jet off to Mauritius b) kill ourselves with a party bucket from KFC, but I eventually figured it'd be better for me to give you a few ideas of what to load your ipods with in August. Some big names, some superstars in the making and some songs that will probably [...]
Bright Light Bright Light's popularity has been on the rise since the last we spoke : He supported Ellie Goulding on her 2010 Lights UK tour, released his debut single "Love Part II" in September 2010, and played at SXSW 2011. And Rod Thomas shows no signs of stopping. While he is busy putting the finishing touches to his album, we thought we would share his new single "Disco Moment" with you. It's a good ol' disco-pop song about love, loss and heartbreak. The single will be released on [...]

Here's the brand new video from British pop singer Bright Light Bright Light (aka Rod Thomas) who told The Guardian that "A "disco moment" is that time you have when you're having the time of your life, like when your favourite song comes on in a club, or when everything feels amazing and you're like "life is great!" and the song is about watching someone you're meant to be close to have that moment in front of you, but you're not included"
