Flavored synth pops and 80’s inspired rock beats coated the self-titled debut album of The 1975, an indie-rock band formed in England.

The Unforgiven III, the third installment in The Unforgiven series, is quite a good song yet I’d probably still rank it as the lowest, or at least my least favorite, of the three pieces of the trilogy. However, before I get into the bulk of my review, I …

This tenor is off the chart! I saw Yu Qiang Dai perform with the Los Angeles Opera in Puccini’s opera Turandot and immediately after I purchased his first CD. He has a powerful, rich voice and is an equal to a younger Pavarotti. This Chinese-born tenor sang Nessun Dorma …
