If we mention the genre of pop to you who do you think of? Britney? Rhianna? JLS? They are all totally fair answers, as there's often a lot of mainstream and stardom associated with pop - we often think of the 'pop star' - so it's not surprising those kinds of names come to mind. Unfortunately with that type of star there's also a lot of elements that are manufactured, in order for the star to be fully propelled into the lucrative limelight. Sadly, in pursuit of the important dollars we notice that a lot of the pop music can [...]
As promised, here is the official soundtrack of the 4th season of Grey's Anatomy. Other than Grey's Anatomy, other hit shows like Gossip Girl, Chuck, Fringe, Glee, Dollhouse, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty, House and many more. You've got to give a hand to the music supervisors of these shows for their success. The music is not perfect, but it's certainly entertaining. The show goes mostly for indie favorites like The National, Ingrid Michaelson, The Gossip, Tegan and Sara, The Bird and the Bee, Bon Iver, Feist, Goldfrapp, Rilo Kiley, Frightened Rabbit, The Republic Tigers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more. [...]

collage by Julien Pacaud Another batch of covers. I'm not really in the mood to write some new artists-centric posts, so this should suffice for now. I was having a dreary day that seemed to drag forever, so here's hoping yours is going more smoothly. Besides, if those stats were to be trusted, you guys do love covers. Scoop 'em up, folks!

For all of the lovely ladies of the neo-soul movement taking place ( Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones , etc...), it's rather surprising that there aren't more soul men coming out of the wood-work. It seems like it's an all women affair. I certainly could be wrong, but for all my head scratching, I can't think of a guy taking up the cause (or at least none that have made as many waves). Not necessarily suggesting that he's our man, but Bryn Christopher is at least showing up to the game with some modest intentions. While not [...]
jennifer hudson feat young jeezy - spotlight (remix) [ link 2 ] [how can i talk about jennifer hudson without being overly fanboy? ok... i can't! at this point, i'm just plain curious about anything this oscar (future grammy) winner has up her sleeve. with her upcoming album due for release in a few week, i can only assume that the rest will be as fabulous as this ne-yo/stargate production.] colin munroe - sunday bloody sunday [ link 2 ] [after successfully taking on kanye west's [...]
Bryn Christopher is a wonderful new English singer with a voice like a runaway freight train. His talent got him the sought-after support slot on Amy Winehouse 's tour at the end of last year while he was still totally unknown, but the secret is out now. Bryn's debut album, 'My World' , was produced by Midi Mafia, who recently secured the exclusive rights to use samples from the infamous Stax Records catalogue and have used some of these for the first time ever on Bryn's album, making it a rare gem indeed. [...]
English soul man (and one-time Amy Winehouse tour opener) Bryn Christopher scored major interest with listeners via his Grey's Anatomy-approved debut single "The Quest", a tour-de-force retro-hued cut bathed in the kind of Otis-homaging, sweaty soul-pleading usually only heard these days from Cee-Lo. Follow-up single "Smilin'" is just as superb, finding Christopher torn apart in emotional
Sounding like a cross between Justin Bond and David MacAlmont and hopefully being a friend of both, I heard Bryn Christopher on the radio the very same day I ended up at a gig of his by happenstance. The DJ was foaming at the slit over his debut single The Quest . And although it's a brilliant example of the retro sound that is littering the charts, it was the voice and the melody that made me stop dead in my tracks, (I was listening on headphones, crossing the road and nearly got run over [...]
En observant la mouvance retro soul actuelle, largement relayée dans un article précédent (si vous avez manqué le début ça se passe ici) , nous commençons à nous interroger. Doit-on ou ne doit-on pas créer sur Mysoul.fr une rubrique spéciale consacrée aux "Amy Winehouse" en puissance qui se reproduisent sur la toile plus vite que des lapins ? Car, grande nouvelle, au risque de paraître redondants en la matière, nous avons (encore) un gagnant du jour ! Il s'appelle Bryn Christopher , a 22 ans, nous vient de Birmingham et assure les [...]
