Introducing...Charlotte Sometimes
I think this could be the beginning of something really lovely. For no reason in particular, I accidentally stumbled upon the MySpace of up-and-coming artist, Charlotte Sometimes while avoiding my studies. With a genre label of "Nu-Jazz/Alternative/Pop" (ooh!), I was naturally quite intrigued.…
Introducing...Carolina Liar
If you happen to watch The Hills, you may have noticed Heidi Montag's fat head. But more importantly, you may have also noticed that the show features some pretty decent music from time to time. Carolina Liar is no exception. The new band's sound is sort of like a more laid back, Californian spin…
Introducing....Ready, Fire, Aim
No, not a typo. The name of the band is Ready, Fire, Aim, and they've come guns blazing. The band's debut album This Changes Nothing won't be released on May 27th, but I got a chance to preview the new group's sound. According to their marketing, their sound is supposed to be a mesh of Nine Inch…
Introducing...Yelle

The reason they came to my attention is for their song, "Lovers Who Uncover." I…
Introducing...Émilie Simon
If you're anything like me, you're probably wondering what Émilie Simon is up to lately. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anything new. And so, I guess I'll do some sort of summarization of who she is for those who don't know. Émilie Simon is sort of like the more electronic-focused…
Introducing...Madita
Introducing something you've probably seen before but in many different pieces: Madita, a singer from Germany. To begin, I saw her latest single's video, "Because." As "Strawberry" noted on the PopJustice! forums, she is a blend of Feist on the verses and Rachel Stevens on the chorus of the song.…
A Little Bit Electric
Now introducing the debut album, Pain Disappears, from electronic musicians Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia. Mlle is the French abbreviation for the word "mademoiselle." I forget the exact translation of that word, but roughly it means "made in moiselle." The collaboration produces unquestionably…
