Aaliyah’s Memory, Nine Years Later
“We Need a Resolution” video, the first single off of Aaliyah’s third and final album, Aaliyah.

She had just released her third album, Aaliyah, one of the best and most [...]

Gaelle – Falling
I first came across Haitian-American songstress Gaelle on MySpace four years ago and she has since become one of my all-time favorite singers. Her 2004 debut release, Transient, is a classic – a collection of twelve songs, each displaying Gaelle + Co.’s solid musicianship. This album isn’t held together by one big-name producer who creates [...]

Interview with Mishal Moore
I’m Mishal, hear me roar! After listening to Mishal Moore’s opening set at Zee Avi’s show last weekend, I needed to know more about the woman behind the song “Makeup Sex”. Who is she, why does she play the guitar like a bass, where can I find more about this artist with such amazing breath [...]

Singaporean pop-rock band Postbox is my latest find from Southeast Asia.

Introducing Freshlyground
I’m happy to say I came across Freshlyground when I visited South Africa two years ago, well before the “Waka Waka” craze. If you watched the World Cup opening or closing ceremonies, you noticed how the crowd went crazy when Freshlyground’s lead singer, Zolani Mahola, sang her verse in Shakira‘s “Waka Waka”. Well-loved and respected [...]

Aaron Smith – Pretty Girl
Aaron Smith, one half of Shwayze, fell in love during his travels, so much that his music evolved into something different then what Shwayze had done in the past. He decided that it needed to be heard and started a side project under his real name. (Don’t worry, Shwayze will still be around for as [...]
Bat for Lashes – Daniel
English-Pakistani Bat for Lashes is my newest find. A friend emailed me asking to do a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” and he sent the remake version Bat for Lashes had on her 2007 album, Fur and Gold, which was simply stunning. Bat for Lashes is the stage name for 31-year-old Natasha Khan, [...]

Introducing Silbermond
I came across Silbermond when I was studying abroad in Germany a few years ago.

Upon [...]

Like a Star (cover)
When BoomBoomChik’s writers Jemex and Radio Morillo aren’t blogging, tweeting, Facebooking and working 9-5, they are somewhere reviewing, interviewing, or going through submissions. After all that’s done, they get inspired and make music. That happened to me last night post England v Germany and Argentina v Mexico. Germany and Argentina won (YAY!) all but solidifying [...]
