Singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson 's heart is like a vineyard grape: a fragile object that was stomped on and crushed until all that was left of it was a bloody mess. With a mess like that, you can do two things: either discard what's left or use it to create a bottle of wine. And the latter is precisely what Ingrid has done with her fifth release, Human Again . She's taken her heartbreak and turned it into the finest Merlot: a richly textured and full-bodied product with deep crimson tones and a satisfyingly tart edge. [...]

O h, you want MOAH? Well, I'll give you more! On Friday, I posted the first batch of MuuMuse's Most Anticipated releases of 2012-round-up of what we already know, what we've already heard, what we want to hear in the next year. Naturally, one post just isn't enough-so here's round two! Girls Aloud, TBA (Sixth Studio Album) What it is : The epic return [...]

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 [...]

Teeth don't exactly hang about. Whether it's their online misdemeanour's (hacking Lady Gaga's twitter, posing as Will Self etc) or their brazen punk attitude or their music itself, they've always got something to say. It's usually LOL, but it's something to say. And this screw it all, for the hell of it, whatever attitude transfers perfectly to their stage show. What was first apparent when arriving was how few people there were. Teeth are not exactly a small band – they're playing a 150 capacity pub here, after having an album out on Moshi Moshi the [...]

Demi Lovato's Unbroken drops tomorrow, but that's apparently not soon enough for some wily music fans out there, as the album has already leaked online. (Happy hunting!) Jump below to listen to the title track, a thumping club-ready tune co-written and produced by Daniel James and Aussie pop act Leah Heywood, who contributed three tracks in total to Demi's LP. Demi Lovato — "Unbroken" "I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken / I'm gonna say [...]

If you're around my age (mid 20's) then, like myself, you'll notice a few of those bands that were active back in our time (read: the 90's) but now lay dormant are preparing themselves to take on the world again. So heres a bit of a look at some of the new music. Is it better? Perhaps, ultimately the best judge is you. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back for the first time since the release of the (if you're asking me) extremely middle of the road and disappointing [...]

Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper" , from her forthcoming album Unbroken , is the highest-charting single yet from the former Disney actress as a solo artist. And what happens when your song becomes a hit? Cover versions pop up all over the web! After hearing Jordin Sparks' take on Demi's song, Aussie pop duo The Veronicas try their hand at the emotional ballad. Listen to Jess and Lisa belt out the song below. As it turns out, Demi is actually a friend of the [...]

Tonight's things: ► White Arrows , recently off tour with Those Darlins and warming up for a date Saturday with Weezer (and a tour dates with the Naked and Famous), celebrate the release of their new 7-inch "Get Gone" at the Bootleg Theater, with Gangi and Electric Guest supporting. ► Deadmau5 kicks off a string of four nights at the Hollywood Palladium (only Sunday's show is not yet sold out). ► The Ettes headline the Echo behind the release of their fourth album "Wicked Will." That's the trio's new [...]

This past Thursday, the West Coast was given a gift of epic proportions. The Veronicas , Australia's superstar female twin pop duo, performed a one-night only exclusive event at The Viper Room in Los Angeles to showcase songs from their eagerly anticipated upcoming album. Best known in the United States for their singles "Untouched" and "4Ever," The Veronicas played to a sold out crowd of fans dying for a taste of the girls' new material. While I was unable to attend the show (due to a rude case of "I live in New York and [...]

As a fellow Kelegend stan, MuuMuse's newest contributor Alex Nagorski and I had an in-depth GChat about the song. In lieu of typing out a full review of the newly leaked track, I now present our conversation in full (side references to Kat DeLuna have been edited out for decency's sake.) [...]

When worlds collide? The FYF Fest and the Sunset Strip Music Festival each will announce their lineups on Wednesday, and the rumor mill is churning with names. Let's put our ears to the ground: ► Even without having announced a lineup, FYF had a $30 presale on Tuesday and sold out of that allotment. Regular tickets ($35) go on sale Friday for the Sept. 3 event — which promoter Sean Carlson said Tuesday via Twitter will be held "in a new location in downtown L.A." The notoriously [...]

Fucked Up have been working on David Comes To Life , the follow up to 2008's Polaris Prize winning The Chemistry Of Common Life , for years now. It came from an idea for a character, David Eliade, who the band began to develop in various singles ("David Comes To Life," "David Christmas," "David's Plan"); but for the most part, they kept the larger piece at a distance—unsure, it seems, according to a short documentary/trailer for the record, of their ability to craft the lyrics and the story itself. But Fucked Up is not a band that shies [...]

Veronica So is the front woman of the band Teeth and founder of the futuristic magazine LAN. At 4:17am on the 22 of January 1986, Redwood City, California, Veronica was born to a Chinese family; she spent her early years living near the Silicon Valley where her father worked. She describes herself as a " an awkward teen" with " geeky" tendency, she talks about her youth with fondness, reminiscing about when her father took her to tech conventions and the sci-fi he loved to watch. I presume she was a bit of a daddy's girl. As well as a [...]

DJ Rossstar: The Bridge to Your Favorite Artist Nine years ago, an American University student grew sick of watching bands interviewed by the same Average Joe and asked the same mundane questions on a cliché set. "Why would I need to watch Green Day do another interview when they're going to be asked the same questions again?" says DJ Rossstar, now in his twenties. Then the light bulb went off. "I'm in college. I have a radio station. I'm going to do an Internet show," he proclaimed. Rossstar then began reaching out to local artists, all [...]
