One thing I love about many up and coming producers today is that they are genre-less. They do not let a single genre define their music. Chicago based producer, Lucky Date, is one of those producers, he blends many aspects of EDM together to make his music. Although this remix has been around since the beginning of summer, he finally released it on Beatport . It fuses house, electro house, and culminates into a dirty dubstep drop. It even confused the Beatport staff and got labeled in the House section, so go help a great producer get charted and [...]

Though most people dread their high school reunions, the American Idol reunion hosted by The Hollywood Reporter seems like it'd be a party not to miss. The entertainment mag managed to get 29 Idol alumni, split from across all ten seasons, into one room for a class photo. Season 10 faves Pia Toscano and Casey Abrams were in attendance, as was Kris Allen, the only former winner to make it to the reunion. Jump below to watch the alumni talk about their time on the show, what they've been doing since, [...]

Click LUCKY DATE caught my attention during the Lollapalooza remix contest and it seems as though he's been a true player ever since. He's spent some late nights with the likes of Spencer & Hill and Lazy Rich (yes these are weak attempts on cashing in on his moniker) so we're a bit giddy that we can share some of that pleasure courtesy of KILLPOP RECORDS .

It's been a minute since I last wrote about Kimberly Caldwell . In case you're less than familiar and/or new 'round these parts, Caldwell was the throaty seventh place runner-up of American Idol: Season 2 . More importantly, she was (and remains) my favorite American Idol contestant, second only to the inimitable Kelly Clarkson . Back in 'the day' (freshman year of high school to be exact), I was known as the one with her pictures of her plastered all over my binders Well, those that weren't already covered in [...]

Her long-delayed album, Without Regret , finally drops this April, and today the singer unveiled her video for her lead single, "Desperate Boys & Stupid Girls" , in which Kim is able to pull a Zack Morris and stop time . Catch Ms. Caldwell's new clip below! Kimberly Caldwell — "Desperate Girls & [...]

I'm loving Kimberly Caldwell 's new single, " Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys ," more and more with every listen and now, with the premiere of the video it's safe to say that the song is well on it's way to becoming one of my anthems this winter. The radio-friendly single was co-written by Tommy Henriksen , singer/songwriter BC Jean and Zac Maloy . The single is very reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson to me and not in a bad way. Caldwell's lower [...]

One year after the release of her debut single, " Mess Of You ," Kimberly Caldwell returns with a follow up " Desperate Girls and Stupid Boys ." While the year-long span of time between singles, coupled with the fact that " Mess Of You " barely registered a blip on any chart, does not bode for Caldwell, I choose to remain optimistic. She's got some pipes on her. That deep, honey coated voice that I remember from her season of American Idol (Season 2) [...]

"Misery loves company, so let's dance until we die," rasps out Kimberly Caldwell on her new party jam, "Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys" (which could easily be the subheading to the next season of Jersey Shore ). The former Idol's debut album, Without Regret , continues to be pushed back indefinitely, but the release of this single should indicate that her label is ready to push Kim's new set of tunes. Listen to her latest single below! Kimberly Caldwell - "Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys" [...]

:: Did Harry Connick Jr.'s menoring make the Top 5 sparkle while singing Ol' Blue Eyes? We thought Crystal and Lee gave some powerhouse performances, but our Idol guest blogger Elliott Yamin has two other picks as his favorite Frank wannabes.

Below is the group's debut single, "Makes Me Wanna Die," which was released on the soundtrack to Kick-Ass . Honestly, it's not half bad. [...]

Despite the fact that pretty much all of the American Idol judges were calling Season 9 a "girls year," we're down to the Top 7 and we've only got two girls left in the competition. And we've got a bad feeling that this is the week one of the ladies is voted off (and it probably won't be the female who wanted off the show ). Lovely lady from Season 2, Kimberly Caldwell, is back as our weekly Idol guest blogger to graciously impart some wisdom on the Idols' performances [...]
