First Listen: Adam Lambert “Underground”
After his second album Trespassing failed to take flight, Adam Lambert and his then label parted ways. But with a voice like Lambert’s, it wasn’t long before he had a new team, a new deal and a new single. The Original High, the third record from the one-time American Idol runner up, will drop on Warner Bros. Records on June 16th. With power duo Max Martin and Shellback leading the charge as the album’s executive producers, the outcome could be just what the singer needs to go from star to household name. “Ghost Town,” the first single from the album released April 21st, is a dance-inspired house track that brings out Lambert’s inner club kid. “Mine’s…

First Listen: Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea “Pretty Girls”
IT’S HERE!!! The new single from Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea! For months, the hype has built in anticipation of the new single from pop music’s Princess, Britney Spears, and the female rap goddess Iggy Azalea. The wait is over… “Pretty Girls” drops on Monday featuring both artist’s signature sounds coming together to create one epic summer jam. The chanted, anthemic chorus is a female empowered hook, while Britney delivers her recognizable vocal throughout the beat driven verses. Azalea’s presence is felt throughout the song, but when the track reaches her rap verse during the song’s breakdown, she proves why she’s one of the most talked about artists of the last 5 years. The track, written by…

First Listen: Britney Spears “Tom’s Diner”
As the anticipation builds for “Pretty Girls,” the new single from Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea, it was a total surprise when a reworked version of the Suzanne Vega classic “Tom’s Diner” leaked online featuring Spears’ famous sultry, breathy voice. The track is from Giorgio Moroder’s new album Déjà Vu, the first from him in 30 years, and it’s hot, hot, hot! It was no surprise that the singer worked with Spears for the updated hit. The album is set to feature a ton of unexpected, high-profile pop star collaborations, including Charli XCX, Kylie Minogue and Sia. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Moroder hinted at the “Tom’s Diner” cover, noting that it was Spears’…

Q&A: Bandit Heart
For fans of the CW series Reign, last night’s ending may have struck a chord. A song that set the tone for a pivotal ending, leading the series to its weekly conclusion. The song acting as the backdrop? “Don’t Let Me Go,” new single from Bandit Heart, the latest project from Nashville’s song-maker Troy Akers. No stranger to the music scene, Akers has spent a good portion of the last year working on honing his songwriting talent, which led to a cut on Amy Stroup‘s record called “Dark Runs Out” and the title track of Neulore‘s new album. Most recognizably though, Akers is one-third of the pop act The CO, who delivered their last full length album…

I’m Baaacckk on YouTube!
If you followed my first music blog Tragic Kingdom, you remember when I launched my YouTube channel (called ‘Listen! It’s Vetrano‘) back in 2013. To kick things off, I interviewed the then winner of The Voice, Cassadee Pope and Amanda Valentine fresh off the runway of Project Runway‘s 11th season. I had intentions to keep the videos a regular feature on the site, but knew they needed an overhaul (just look at the embarrassing production quality of the first one… you can laugh, I do), so I began to looking for my groove. (Where did Stella get hers?) Then I got busy with life, rebranding the website and taking on new projects, and the channel…
