The Riff Report: The 10 best songs of 2011

PopMatters.comA special edition — the 10 best songs of 2011:1. M83 — "Midnight City" All it takes is four synthesizer notes. That's it. Smothered in reverb, coated in '80s nostalgia, teetering on the edge of full-on explosion, those four notes pack more heart and energy than most albums released in 2011. But "Midnight City" is more than just a powerful introduction. On this transcendent standout from the sixth M83 album, "Hurry…See More

The Riff Report: New music this week

By Sarah ZupkoPopMatters.comDrake — "Take Care": Discard nearly everything dislikable about Drake's "Thank Me Later," amplify the emotional candor by several degrees, and get ready for the most complete pop album of 2011. Soul, funk, ruggedness. "Take Care"? This album couldn't care less. The opening number is centered on a gorgeous little piano melody and Noah Shebib's…See More

The Riff Report: New music this week

By Sarah ZupkoPopMatters.comNoel Gallagher — "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds": Considering this is a man who has boasted for close to two decades about his songwriting prowess, it was inevitable that Noel Gallagher would find a way to get his latest batch of songs out there in some fashion.

By Sarah ZupkoPopMatters.comColdplay — "Mylo Xyloto": The big-budget sequel to the Technicolor "Viva la Vida" is multi-textured, arena-ready ... and boring. "Mylo Xyloto"'s major problem is that amidst all of the Day-Glo sonic wizardry that the band's army of producers are able to conjure, Chris Martin doesn't actually have a lot to say. Although no one has ever claimed that Martin is a…See More

Q&A with Chicago's Walt Parazaider

By Erin WilliamsSpecial to The Star Fourty-four years of staying in the same occupation could be seen as a bore to some. But for Chicago, a band that has sold more than 100 million albums and has charted an album in the Top 40 for five decades running, there is no reason to hang up the instruments just yet.

The Riff Report: New music this week

By Sarah ZupkoPopMatters.comTori Amos — "Night of Hunters": While "Night of Hunters" never directly references Tori's previous work there is still plenty of space for bruised heroines, history, art, wacky pronunciation, and man's relationship to the violence of nature, and there are more than a few winks along the way as Amos tells another story about fallen angels and the…See More
