Beyoncé’s surprise self-titled album came out nearly a year ago, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
This week, Queen Bey released a video of her Paris performance of album track ‘Flawless’ with rapper Nicki Minaj.
The remix itself was released in August, but given that every song on the album has an accompanying video, it’s only fitting that this one should, too.
After taking a few seasons off, my family has started watching The Voice again this year.
We watched the first two seasons with the original coaching lineup, but missed the Shakira/Usher years as well as the reunion with Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green.
This year, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell round out (or square off) the cast, with veterans — and future buddy film stars — Blake Shelton and Adam Levine returning as usual.
It took 20 years for Lucinda Williams to release her first four albums. Her most recent four have come at a much faster clip, averaging one every other year.
And while there is no contest in terms of quality — the first batch takes it by a mile — I’m glad to hear new material by one of America’s greatest singer-songwriters with some frequency.
I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the better part of two days now, and I have no idea why. Maybe it’s featured in a commercial or something?
When I realized I didn’t have a SOTD scheduled this morning, I figured I’d give old Lionel Richie his due for planting ‘Stuck On You’ in my brain.
So here is Richie’s official Meet Me In Montauk debut, if you don’t count a cover of ‘Endless Love’ by the cast of Glee.
One-hit wonders are awfully common, but one-album wonders are a bit more rare. And 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill might be the best example.
This thing was a monster hit, a cultural touchstone, a Grammy winner for Best Album. And it was the last memorable thing Lauryn Hill ever did.
In fact, the only other solo album she ever released was a live recording of her appearance on MTV’s Unplugged. That was in 2002.
