What The GIF? Vol. 4
The sun is shining and the allergies are in full swing, which can only mean one thing: it’s May! I realize my updates have been few and far between lately, but I promise it’s not because I don’t love you all (that only applies to some of you). The sun is shining, flowers are a bloom and there’s a new project being cooked up at V for Vetrano HQ (details coming soon). But I couldn’t let you go any longer without serving up another helping of What The GIF? With the nice weather, and my new project in full swing, I’m ready to get back into the routine of things…

Take 5: Liz Davis
She won the hearts of thousands last year on NBC’s The Voice, where she represented Nashville on Team Blake during the series’ third season. Since then, Liz Davis has been bringing her own brand of sass and kick-ass country to Music City. If you missed my two part interview with the singer with the big ole pipes from earlier this year, catch up now (part one / part two). And now, Davis is kicking off Tragic Kingdom’s newest segment: Take 5. We all love to know what inspires our favorite stars and want to know what – or who – is behind the lyrics of our favorite songs, but you…

Listen! It’s Vetrano!: Reality Hits Nashville
As a blogger in the digital age, I have the pleasure of sharing my thoughts and musical recommendations with thousands of people that I know personally (and intimately *wink, wink*) and others of whom I probably will never get the chance to meet. For those of you in the second category, I’m sorry I’ve neglected to introduce you to my highly inappropriate and snarky side. The side I’m most proud of, really. Since the New Year, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to many of my readers in Nashville about what they want to see on this space. That’s when “reality” hit me. So without further ado I introduce the…

Best Of 2012
It’s been quite a monumental year for the music industry. We lost one of the greatest voices of all time, while ridiculing a new one when Lana Del Rey emerged nervously on SNL. Adele proved that quality music still sells and Christina Aguilera illustrated that same theory later in the year when her album flopped. We became obsessed with learning to dance Gangam Style, while trying to get “Call Me Maybe” out of our heads. Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj fought for cameras promoting the new season of American Idol, while Britney Spears unenthusiastically coached her “teens” on The X Factor. Bubblegum pop returned with acts like Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato…

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…

Adele ‘Falls’ into New Bond Film
It was no surprise that when producers began looking for Bond’s new it-girl to sing the theme for the upcoming film Skyfall, they were drawn to the voice of last couple years.
