Following the release of last year’s return-to-form “Go To Work,” which was singlehandedly responsible for lowering the UK unemployment rate by 16% (or was it 18%?

Not since Lee Hyori's "Get Ya!" was accused of ripping off Britney's "Do Somethin'" over a decade ago has a South Korean music scandal felt so specifically tailored to my personal interests. Sunmi, formerly of the Wonder Girls, is back with a follow-up to her incredible, fiery break-up bop…

"Go To Work": Nadine Coyle Turns Your Nine to Five Into a Good Time (Review)
"You better work, work it, girl..." "You better work, bitch." "Work, work, work, work, work..." There are very few enduring truths in Pop, but one remains reliably valid to this day: a suggestion to work will always result in a great tune. In the grand tradition of "Work"-ing girls, from RuPaul to…

Whole Lotta History: Girls Aloud's 'Chemistry' Mega Ballad, A Decade Later
I don't want to get into the disbandment of Girls Aloud — the greatest modern girl group of all time, just to be clear — because every time I start to think about that ill-fated day (breaking up via Twitlonger — how COULD YOU?), the walls start to close in. My vision blurs. Then come the tremors,…
