Rockferry, is the most highly anticipated album of the year by Duffy from northern coastal Wales, and the wait was worth it. Duffy is exploding into the American musical scene with “Mercy” being featured as her hot radio single, as well as on ER and Smallville. Riding the wave of recent television appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Live with Regis and Kelly, I’m going to go out on the limb and say she is going to be as successful as the hot Leona Lewis.
Air Traffic’s Fractured Life, their debut album, is introspective, mood-driven, and brilliantly creative indy rock and roll. This band from Bournermouth, a Wessex border town on the British Costa Geriatrica, and their sound and chemistry is so complete that I wouldn’t have believed this is their first collective album together.
Laura Wood’s new album, Let Me Live starts off with “Falling From The Ground,” chock full of energy and catchy guitar riffs and solos which seem to be a prevalent theme on each song.
“Tell Them Why” starts off with a poppy drum beat that gets my head bobbing back and forth, but once you start listening to the lyrics, I don’t know whether I should be bobbing back and forth in the fetal position in the corner of a room or not. The lyrics are serious and dark, and Wood asks vaguely, “whose going to tell the children?” but I am left wondering what the children need to be told.

Being a infrequent Starbucks goer, I had never heard of Hilary McRae, but she’s a 21-year old talented singer/songwriter from Florida who has a retro, mature spice with a contemporary pop/retro R&B sound that makes her Through These Walls release from Hear Music extremely enjoyable. Hilary has a tremendous amount of soul in her work, and at times, she reminds me of Maroon Five, a more contemporary Michael Bublé and John Mayer with a heavy horn accompaniment.
Recently, we got to speak with the creator of Nautical but Nice, Captain Sara, for a in-depth interview on her mission of being the premier purveyor of the nautical and aeronautical pin-up and drawing their inspiration from the lovely dames painted on the noses of B-29 airplanes during World War II and the 1950s pin-ups gracing the wooden decks of luxury boats. Classy, erotic, and sassy - we couldn’t resist wanting to find out more about Nautical but Nice which has a unique non-profit goal….
Captain Sara: “My idea was to mesh female sexuality and power in a way that didn’t alienate either gender, and I think there’s a pin-up revolution doing just that. Examples of female sexuality tied in with submission or dominance are rife in the “adult entertainment” world, and I wanted there to be some other images of female sexuality that aren’t tied to any role in particular… other than playfulness (if that’s a role). It’s naughty! And nautical! But nice.”
Michelle Williams in preparation for her third solo album and her first since 2004’s Do You Know, is moving away from the gospel sound and embracing the pop/dance world.
