Five more tracks found on the deluxe version of the record. You’re welcome.

First Listen: Lana Del Rey "Paradise" EP
It’s no secret that Born To Die from the controversial newcomer Lana Del Rey is one of my favorite records of the year. And when I learned that a re-release of the record -with NINE additional tracks- was on its way earlier in the year, I could hardly wait for more from the self-proclaimed gangsta Nancy Sinatra. The “Paradise Edition” of Del Rey’s successful debut drops November 13th, but if you’re like me (and I know a few of you who are), you just can’t wait a minute more… and who could blame you? Well Christmas (or rather November 13th) has come early because now you don’t have to wait until then to…

First Listen: Christina Aguilera’s New Album "Lotus"
Christina Aguilera has been sharing her gifted voice with the world since she landed a role on Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ alongside fellow Mouseketeer’s Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Matt Morris and Ryan Gosling. After shedding her mouse ears Aguilera reinvented herself with each new album and era of her -now long- career. And while it hasn’t always been easy for the controversial singer, she continues the fight to gain the respect that her impressive pipes deserve. No one can argue that tracks like “Beautiful” and “The Voice Within” will likely earn her a spot among the greats, but her attempts at further reinvention haven’t always proved successful. Her last two albums Back to Basics and Bionic, a role…

Artist To Watch: Steve Moakler
It isn’t often (in Nashville especially) that you go to a show and the entire audience is quietly captivated by the performer on stage, but when Steve Moakler took Douglas Corner’s on October 16th he did just that. Debuting a variety of tracks so new that the ink hadn’t yet dried on their page, the audience listened intently to each lyric and note as if children listening to a story before bed. It’s clear at that moment they realize the person on stage has something of significance to say. A blend of country and alt rock, almost raising question where he might fit on the spectrum, the tracks illustrate why…
