Ellie Goulding -Ellie Goulding - Halcyon Review
There was once an era when the Christina Aguileras gyrated obscenely and the Tiestos raved ecstatically in completely different dimensions. But somewhere down the line, two drunk rebel lovers from either dimensions hooked up and gave birth to genre offsprings such as electro-pop, foltronica, synthpop etc.; from which emerged ...

Our reviews on music today is all about an album that is...a whole bunch of nothing. Except for two songs "Who" and "The One Who Broke Your Heart." The rest of this epic event pairing of David Byrne and St. Vincent is an "arrangement" exercise of Annie Clark harm...
The XX -The xx Make a C -
So when it comes to The xx and their new album "Coexist"...I was soooo looking forward to writing a positive review. But alas I think The xx, while trying to reach for the front end of the alphabet with a grade "A" more or less made a "C -" here on their latest album.
