"A Second to Midnight": Kylie Minogue & Years & Years Shine Like a Light in the Dark (And Do Drag!)
Kylie™ made the dreary days of lockdown a whole lot brighter last year with her 15th studio album Disco, a loving ode to the genre, and a most necessary nostalgic escape in the bleakest of days. One year later, things aren't...worse necessarily, but we're not back to normal yet, either. Whatever…
Kylie Minogue Takes Years & Years' "Starstruck" to Another Galaxy
"I can't help it / I get starstruck around you..." Kylie Minogue is making gay dreams come true yet again. Like the Green Fairy she played in Moulin Rouge, with a little shimmy and a shake (and a healthy dollop of glitter), the "Chocolate" chanteuse just makes everything feel infinitely (disco)…

The Top 50 Singles of 2015
Well! Here we go again. I worked my way through the Top 20 Albums of 2015 last week. And now, it's time to twirl right through the singles. This list is always way more fun to put together than the albums because I get to squeeze in more artists, although the ranking starts to feel especially…
The Top 20 Albums of 2015
Well, here we go. 2015 has been quite a year — personally, professionally and pop culturally speaking. I lived! I loved! I laughed! Actually, I mostly cried, because like a certain Canadian songbird, I have all of these E•MO•TIONs. (FORESHADOWING.) Anyway! We're knee-deep in list season now, and…

Win A Copy Of Years & Years' Self-Titled US Debut EP!
If you've frequented MuuMuse at all in the past few months, you'll already know that I've been steadily free-falling into a very deep, very real and very personal love affair with dance-pop troupe Years & Years, fronted by my favorite curly-haired cutie, Olly Alexander. (#MCM!!1!!1!) With each…
"King" Video: The Years & Years Boys Pull Shapes In Their Best Video Yet
All hands on deck: Years & Years have just put out a video for their latest single "King" — and it's just as fantastic as the song itself. In fact, it's their most impressive visual to date. Enlisting Sia's "Chandelier" choreographer Ryan Heffington, the boys decided to go the full-on interpretive…
"King": Years & Years Strike Gold Yet Again With Another Club Smash
Years & Years are really, really about to happen, and it is imperative that you're all onboard at this point. The electro-dance-pop-reggae-whatever-fits-your-fancy trio supplied song after song of good vibrations across the pond last year, including "Real," "Take Shelter" and the almighty "Desire"…
Introduucing...Years & Years!
Meet Years & Years, a British trio made up of singer Olly, Emre and Mikey. While I was over galavanting/having a much-needed mental escape in Swinging London Town these past two weeks (still severely jet-lagged), I caught the troupe playing a sold-out gig at Plan B. I hadn't heard a single song…
