Miley Cyrus is having a stellar year in spite of everything. In fact, she's in the middle of her best era yet. Granted, she's almost exclusively sung covers thus far throughout this latest musical moment - unless we're counting last summer's empowering "Mother's Daughter" and the She Is Coming EP,…
Put the Needle on This 3-Hour Dannii Minogue Disco Megamix
Were I ever to become a radio show host, having somehow grown tired of all the incredible, everlasting $ucce$$ that comes with being a blogger, a 3-hour block of Dannii Minogue wouldn’t only happen on my show, it would be a mandatory weekly event. Until that time rolls around, there’s…

Shirley Manson & Peaches Discuss 'Fuck the Pain Away'
My memory has blurred the exact sequence of events when it comes to music discovery over time, but I’m fairly certain that “Fuck the Pain Away” is one of those songs that my very punk, very angsty, very cool high school sweetheart introduced me to early on in our relationship.…

Megan Thee Stallion & Chloe X Halle Switch Up the At-Home Performance Game
Let's get real for a moment: awards shows have gradually grown more and more dull and, having worked in media and covered nearly every awards show red carpet and ceremony for the past decade, I (and the Nielsen ratings) can assure you: year over year, less and less people are even watching.

Social Distancing With the Spice Girls
People of the world: don't go outside. It's truly wild how much...everything has changed since the last time I wrote something for MuuMuse, which was, uh, ten days ago. I think everyone is still processing exactly what's going on, adjusting to life at home, and wondering how long life will be like…
Excuse Me, Nicola Roberts, I Know That's You on 'The Masked Singer UK'
Something kinda ooooh must be in the water, because legendary '00s-to-early-'10s British girl group members-turned-solo stars keep showing up on reality television competitions as of late. Before we get into The Masked Singer, I need to get address this first: Alesha "Italians Do It Better" Dixon…
