Telling On Trixie, from New York City, have been featured on Sirius Satelitte Radio, been honored by LOGO and have a lot of soul in their rock and roll. Created from a partnership of opposites- the introverted guitarist (Brad Small) and the extroverted lead singer (Derek Nicoletto) who bring out the best in one another to create something bigger than themselves.

Sometimes in albums, it takes a few spins to find the “soul” or the “reason” why a particular record is into being. With Kerli’s Love Is Dead, the soul of this record was more than evident. This is one of the most uplifting yet dark, truthful, beautiful and soulful records I’ve heard this year.

There’s something soul gripping in both a fierce and vulnerable way about L.P.’s music. She’s rock and roll for sure, but she could easily crossover into some pop appeal. She’s the type of artist that can win over a audience with just one song, and if the teaser out for her upcoming third album is any indication, she’s already won me over.

So… You thought disco was dead, did you? Well not so fast! It seems that disco is seeing a resurgence at the dance clubs and on the air waves. In the front pew of this resurrection is a band named Hercules and Love Affair.

Good (almost all) queer punk/heavy rock from five hot women from Jacksonville, Florida here to rock your world. Rubbing Down Debbie got their name from a dream that their drummer, Kristina, had about Debbie Harry from Blondie….good to know.

Ron Morris is a outstanding openly out folk singer/songwriter who reminds me of James Taylor with his quality songcrafting and acoustic sound. Truth Stained Lies, Morris’ third album and first full-length album in three years, is a collection of stories that Morris tells himself or that other tells him about who he is, what he’s scared of, what should happen, what actually happened and so on. It’s all about identity, perspective, finding the shred of truth in these stories.

After her critically-acclaimed performance in Dreamgirls, as well as her recent appearance in this summer’s smash hit, Sex and the City, Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson makes her long-awaited foray into the music scene with “Spotlight,” her official first single from her self-titled debut album, set for release on September 30th on Arista Records.

From fitness trainer and professional chef to the new spokesperson for Nair for Men, Bravo tv’s Jesse Brune is making healthy living a necessity for happiness. He sat down with us in Times Square and gave us a very thorough Work Out.

Matt Jones is a singer/songwriter with a poetic strength in his lingering and powerfully vulnerable music. “Jugular Bones and Blisters” starts off with a haunting violin and spreads into Matt’s gorgeous acoustic sound. His music is hauntingly organic, and engaging, even in a moment of silence, I feel his lingering voice and deep music is influencing the pause into the next song. His songwriting is visual and poetic, gothic Americana that is able to capture moments the way they are and the way they feel.
