Review: "More Is Than Isn't"—RJD2

Philadelphia–based musician and producer RJD2 rose to fame on the back of singles like 2008’s “Ghostwriter,” colorful, cut–and–paste blends of downbeat hip–hop, jazz, soul and funk.


Review: "Bangerz"—Miley Cyrus

The slow beat and sentimental lyrics from “Adore You,” the first track of Miley’s new album “Bangerz,” show Miley’s maturation into a true singer.


Review: "Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song"—Amos Lee

Philly–born singer/songwriter Amos Lee has always been known for his grass roots musical style, and loyal fans will be more than satisfied with his Americana–inspired turn on “Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.” Opening track “Johnson Blvd” and fourth track “Chill in the Air” embody the feel of the album best, featuring Lee’s calming vocals with more southern–tinge than usual.




Review: "Lousy with Sylvianbriar"—Of Montreal

After 17 years of testing genre boundaries, Of Montreal is still surprising fans with its ’60s psychedelic pop/’70s glam rock–inspired 12th studio album, “Lousy With Sylvianbriar.” Opening with standout track “Fugitive Air,” Of Montreal maintains the energized art rock of earlier albums against a backdrop of traditional classic rock.
