Pop Music Reviews
The latest Weezer tracks have been suspiciously good and liberated. It feels like they don’t give a damn about how people see them, and that seems to result in some…
This song is fantastic. Weezer at their best. I really don’t have anything bad to say about this song – it’s a very powerful pop rock song with relatable lyrics….
In the beginning of the music video, Måns says that the song is a letter to himself as a young boy. That is a lovely idea for a song. On…
Moby’s discography is versatile and huge. Ever since he got popular enough, he seemed to care less and less about what’s expected of him. Since he rose to popularity, Moby…
Au/Ra is one of the more interesting contemporary artists. She’s got a distinct voice and the production style of her songs sounds fresh without trying to be excessively revolutionary. The…
It’s such a pleasure to look at whatever Alan Walker is involved in. Every Alan Walker music video is amazing, and for a scifi fan like me, this kind of…
I have conflicting feelings about this song. On the other hand it’s an empowerment song for women, but at the same time, the video is as traditional as it gets….
I was browsing Spotify’s global top hits and came across The Weeknd’s song Blinding Lights, which led me on a little YouTube journey. I checked out the Blinding Lights music…
https://youtu.be/ApiSnfd4Srk Yes, this track may be More of Just the Same, but who else could write a track like this? Infected Mushroom is a very unique band. Personally, I think…
I don’t listen to a lot of house music, but I do recognize a quality house track when I hear one. Emre Arisev & Dogu Dylan sent me this track,…
Sometimes, when I’m looking for suitable Spotify playlists to send Unzyme’s music to, I come across some really cool new songs. TW3LV & Huntar surprised me with their lovely song,…
I sometimes listen to my Spotify Release Radar without looking at what’s on this week’s playlist. When this track kicked in, it was clear that this was a Röyksopp song….
Alan Walker’s songs are laser-focused on young people who feel alienated. They see the world from their personal digital perspective that algorithms designed for them, and since their bubble is…
I was sending Unzyme’s new song Nerve cells to music curators via Submithub, when I stumbled upon this wonderful, uplifting pop song by Maty Noyes. It’s now wonder why many…
I was listening to the fantastic Active Anthems electronic music playlist, and amidst all fun-but-not-epic tracks, I was stopped on my tracks by Slander’s awesome piece of art, called Love…
Limitless kicks off with a familiar “whoaaah”, as heard extensively on Burning Bridges. There’s a bit of “We Don’t Run”, “Undivided” and “We Weren’t Born to Follow” in this song….
https://youtu.be/4SZEDBFPpgw I’ve been following Porter Robinson ever since Spotify’s brain-picking algorithms introduced him to my consciousness, back in 2015. I really enjoyed his debut album Worlds, and his work as…
When the lead single Father of All… was released, I wasn’t too excited about it, mainly because of the vocal effects. However, the song has grown on me, and now…
Pet Shop Boys is my most listened-to band according to Spotify’s statistics. I’ve been a Spotify user for 11 years, and for all that time Spotify has collected data on…
I consider Pet Shop Boys to be the greatest band of all time, so this is a biased review (just like all other reviews are). There are two scales to…
https://youtu.be/gOZ6vxtIs9E Scooter is the ultimate pop music culture recycling machine. Pop music has always been about recycling, remixing and reshaping melodies and compositions that are already popular. Scooter takes this…
I probably haven’t listened to any other band more than the Pet Shop Boys. Their music has it all – thought-provoking lyrics, detailed arrangements, cool synth sounds and beautiful melodies….
This is a review of the single. I’ve also written a review of the whole album.I’m a huge Green Day fan since Dookie. Listened to every album, loved especially Dookie,…
https://youtu.be/6nd28nH05aI Some years ago I stumbled across “Comatose” by Amy Guess, through some Spotify algorithm, I suppose. I dug that song quite a bit. I was quite surprised to see…
God Save the Rave is Sebastian Schilde’s second production with Scooter, and he doesn’t disappoint. The name of the song implies a classic rave sound, and that’s what we get….
I rarely get excited about a Eurovision song entry. It would’ve been nice to see Darude in the ESC2019 final, but as he and Sebastian Rejman had to step aside,…
What I like about David Guetta’s Stay, is that it’s actually house music, which is something he used to do when he started out. There are some echoes from the…
I got interested in Ellen Allien’s music when she and Apparat released their collaboration album, Orchestra of Bubbles, which is nothing short of a masterpiece. Ellen Allien’s music is usually…
I stumbled upon the music of PLGRM via Warner Music Germany’s Facebook page. The snipped they posted was catchy enough for me to seek the song on Spotify. Daylight’s video…
I’ve listened to Rammstein since Mutter, but at some point I kind of got bored of their music, since it didn’t seem to evolve much. And while these new songs…
I appreciate melodies that move a lot. This song is full of such melodies. There are nice hooks everywhere, and Ava Max’s vocal performance is spectacular. I actually heard the…
The point of dubstep is to distort and have every sound source so loud that it will start clipping. “Turn Off The Lights” is a very danceable track, and it…
In 2014, Unzyme’s producer Lasse Turunen recommended Ellie Goulding’s Figure 8 to me. I had, of course, heard the massive hit Burn from the same album. Burn is a fantastic…
I like pretty much all of Röyksopp’s catalogue, so it would be hard for them to disappoint me. I fell in love with Melody A.M. when it came out in…
The original version of Electro Panic was released in 2004 on Digital Collusions and Analogue Intrusions compilation. It’s a collaboration between Yahel and Infected Mushroom. It’s a rather minimal trance…
Insomnia starts with a very cool sound effect hook, which immediately drew my attention to the song. The sound effect is actually quite similar to what we’ve used at the…
