Required listening: Kim Sozzi returns with ‘Never Say Goodnight’
A couple of years ago, it seemed like Kim Sozzi could do no wrong. She had a series of strong dance hit, a surprisingly varied album of solid dance tracks, and was building an audience on a label that was proving white hot, Ultra. Fast forward another year and things fell apart quickly. Continue reading
Great picks from The Littlest Winslow
This post is nothing more than a shameless plug for my friend and old college colleague Nick at The Littlest Winslow, who’s been mentioned here more than once in terms of music selections to which he’s introduced me.

Required listening: Keri Hilson’s ‘In a Perfect World…’
Having been around writers for a good portion of my career, I’ve found over time that certain styles of writing draw me in (as I’m sure it does for most). Keri Hilson’s songwriting style is definitely one that pulls me in, and although both of her solo albums to date have plenty going for it, I favor her first release, “In a Perfect World…” Continue reading
