listen to tori amos’ midwinter graces!


good morning! tomorrow my darling tori amos is releasing her very first seasonal album called midwinter graces (her 11th studio album) i’ve been listening to it for a few weeks now and it’s amazing – it’s perfect for people who aren’t so keen on ‘holiday’ music – the songs all emanate a perfectly relaxing warmth! i actually find it to be better than her last album abnormally attracted to sin which i do like but i haven’t really connected with it as much as her previous albums (i still need to spend some more time with it) besides covering classic songs – there’s two brand new tracks penned by ms. amos (pink and glitter and our new year) thanks to imeem – you can listen to the entire album below! there’s a bonus track verison available on itunes plus a deluxe edition which includes a DVD … the holidays came early for us toriphiles! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo






Midwinter Graces is an album that has been in the making for the past 40 years. Raised in the Baltimore area under the watchful eye of her Methodist minister father, Tori grew up playing holiday carols at Sunday services and Christmas Day celebrations in her father’s church. These were the songs that gave a young Tori her first taste of music, and now almost 40 years later Tori gets her own chance to reimagine classics like “What Child, Nowell” and “Star of Wonder.” Tori will also add her own bittersweet bliss to the season with original tracks like “Pink and Glitter” and “Our New Year.”

For Midwinter Graces, Amos has again teamed up with long time collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitars. Tori has enlisted the help of a Big Band and an Orchestra with stunning John Philip Shenale arrangements to create Tori’s new seasonal classics.

michael jackson’s new track – this is it


good morning! i’m sure by now most of you have heard the newly released michael jackson track this is it – which also happens to be the name of what was supposed to be his comeback show – and has now been turned into a movie after his untimely death this past june (using all the rehearsal footage taken) opening in theaters for two weeks starting on october 28th (i already have tickets to see it on october 30th) the song is decent enough – he does sound great – i totally teared up a little bit upon first listen … it’s still hard to believe he actually passed away! check out the song for yourself below – i’m curious to hear what everyone else thinks! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo




mariah wants to remix what love is!


good morning! a few weeks ago i posted the new mariah carey single – a cover of foreigner‘s classic track i want to know what love is – and now i’ve got a hot remix (by moto blanco) to help you get through the drone of monday … ugh! (i’m so tired from kylie last night) i’ve been listening on and off to ms. carey’s latest album memoirs of an imperfect angel which released last week – overall i do really like it but some of the tracks are a bit on the slow side – i still prefer her last album E=MC2 but this one is quite decent and she does sound incredible – her voice is unmatched! hopefully there will be plenty of dance remixes … that’s where mariah shines best! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo
