iMusic... Hologram Heart Parade - Dirty Heart

"Hologram Heart Parade formed at the turn of 2011. Combining Tom Tom Club's playful vigour and Grace Jones' brooding menace. The two-woman, three-man band led by Glasgow born singer and songwriter Pauline Johnston recall pop's soulful side while tipping their hat to Sparks, Roxy Music, Prince and the The Pointer Sisters. The promo release of "DIRTY HEART" bristles with glamour and a laid-back disco heartbeat that compels you to dance the pain away. It is available as a free download now."
This is that GOOD GOOD music - excellent Pop music filled with great vocals, lush synths, groovy guitar licks and well funky drum patterns that take you right back to the 80's - courtesy of emerging Manchester quintet Hologram Heart Parade led by singer/songwriter Pauline Johnston... A sure winner, this!

iMusic... Shadows on Stars - Now You're Mine


Brian Dekker aka DEKK from Portland, Oregon is a BEAST! We first heard his production on Beautiful Music with Luck-One back in 2009 on a Soulful Hip-Hop vibe, then we heard a totally different side to his craft on How Did This Happen? as one half of Moxie Black on an Electro/Alternative Hip-Hop vibe and NOW as one half of Shadows on Stars? Well let me just let you listen!


What you just heard is the brand new single from Shadows on Stars titled "Now You're Mine" and I am liking this one right now! It's got that whole Summer vibe feel going on and it's a really good Pop tune. It's crazy and exciting to me how a producer can go from this to this to this and do them all so WELL! Hat's off Mr. Dekker!

iLive... SADE x The O2 Arena x May 31, 2011 (Review)


What a NIGHT! What a Concert! What a Performance! What a Woman! What a Band! Where do I even begin because Sade at the O2 Arena was/is easily one of my favourite concert experiences in a long while and to think that Ms. Sade Adu and her band had not performed in her home country in near on twenty years (since 1993), you had to wonder why it's taken so long for them to come and do what they did at the O2 Arena last Tuesday (May 31) - they were simply PHENOMENAL and I bet we would have no qualms at all paying to see that set countless times between 1993 and now BUT alas I digress a bit...

When the good people at Superbreak (I'll tell you about them shortly) reached out to us with tickets to go see Sade at the O2 Arena and even though we had important exams in a few days, it was really and truly a NO brainer and can I just add that the decision was well WORTH it!

RoxXxan is still fierce on the mic and the style and image evolution is great! #PS if you follow me on Twitter, then you already know I'm a huge fan of Benny Banks!!!
