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"
Click here to view the embedded video. My favorite Welshman is back and has done it again, giving us music that is meant to be felt, not just heard. Bright Light Bright Light writes words the way my heart feels them, able to convey the complex range of emotions we all feel. With abilities like these it is no surprise he finds himself compared to none other than Robyn . I could continue the praise, but I will let Rod and his music speak for itself. If you need [...]
British pop singerp Bright Light Bright Light p(aka Rod Thomas) has been keeping fans in suspense for months about his new music. But the long wait is over. Today, the singer finally premiered thepvideo for his new single "Disco Moment." It is a powerful tune that highlights the singer's knack for combiningp'90s inspired club beats with crisp melodies and heartfelt songwriting that is always flavored with a heavy dose of hope. Set to a throbbing disco groove, " Disco Moment " packs heaps of dancefloor drama that is vividly put into words by the pop crooner. "You make [...]
Ta-da. All round wonderful person/music maker Bright Light Bright Light just put up the video for his forthcoming single 'Disco Moment'. If we're not mistaken a video of this quality makes him a fully fledged pop star. Correct? As with all things we love to bits we have studied this closely and feel compelled to be obtuse about it. Here are our favourite (disco) moments: A cat on the windowsill distracts Bright Light Bright Light, whilst everyone else [...]
Bright Light Bright Light ’s long (really, quite long) awaited new single ‘Disco Moment’ looks like it’s finally here with the premiere of the video. It’s a really good choice for a single, upbeat ElectroPop with a hint of melancholy and the Jody Wilson directed video serves as a really good introduction to Rod Thomas for the masses who missed out on ‘Love Part II’. ‘Disco Moment’ is released 19th September. Buy Bright Light Bright Light’s music from: [...]
As premiered on last weeks Fear Of Tiger’s ‘The Guestlist’ show this is Bright Light Bright Light ’s reMix of James Yuill ’s ‘Crying For Hollywood’. Light and breezy ElectroPop is the order of the day here. Piling on the world’s most feel-good 90’s House piano riff in amongst dreamy arpeggios lifts James’ vocals and lets them do their job perfectly. The sun’s come back out this morning. ♫ James Yuill - Crying For Hollywood (Bright Light Bright Light 'Red Carpet' Mix) [...]

We're sure you're aware (because we told you about it AGES ago) that the very brilliant Fear Of Tigers has a weekly podcast called 'The Guestlist'. For no particular reason (we are on it) we thought this week would be a good week to flag it up again. The special guest is our favourite pop star Bright Light Bright Light . There's also an interjection from two loud mouthed bloggers. So if you missed us on 6Music recently (did we mention that?) now would be a good time to point and laugh at [...]
Day 1 With the Camden Crawl being so geographically close to us in Brighton it's a wonder that we haven't been before, but then again we do have a rather giant new music festival on our doorstep coming up in a few weeks. Armed with little more than a cursory glance at the schedule and a brand new DSLR camera we headed up to London. We were quickly made aware that unless we wanted to see heavy rock and metal the Red Bull Bedroom Sessions, (the only billed daytime music on the [...]
