Al-x


I don't frequently review artists from the "pop" genre. However, to review pop artist Al-x as simply "pop" would be doing her a great disservice. Al-x covers the spectrum of high energy songs, electronica, dance (as in, her tracks are great to dance to, and she dances as part of her live performances), a touching acoustic ballads that make listeners take time to reflect.

So without further hesitation, here is the premier of Al-x's new video, Always:


In the world of Al-x, pop music covers an entire spectrum of moods, and she delivers unapologetically, much to my (and many others') delight. Al-x brings much more than amazing composition that works hand-in-hand with her lyrics - she dances and plays guitar. In other words, she is a force to be reckoned with - combining emotional, intellectual, physical, talents with (let me wax a little paradoxical here) untamed precision.


Al-x has an international following, and in drawing from her skills as a singer/songwriter/dancer, Al-x is able to tap those universal feelings and bring everyone together with her songs.


It has always been that, if I wanted to find songs that reflected changes in my own feelings or thoughts, I would have to build playlists and dig through a bunch of artists to find what I need - and by that time, things have passed. It can be very frustrating. With Al-x's music, I get all of that, and she always has something new just over the horizon.


You can get all of her music through iTunes, CDBaby and on the Official Al-x Site. To find out the latest news about Al-X, such a show dates, upcoming singles, videos, and more, you can follow her on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Sapphyria: Adventurers, Monster Slayers, The Next Pop Music Sensation


The Sisters of the Sapphire are female fantasy characters created by fantasy/sci-fi writer Robert Livingston. They are modern day warriors against the supernatural - demon hunters, vampire slayers, zombie killers. However, society has an odd reaction when someone asks, "What do you do for a living?" and your initial response is, "Well, I just banished a 5,000 year-old soul-eating demon from this plane of existence and destroyed a vampire clan before noon. How's your Monday going?"

Hence The Sisters travel under the guise of a sensational pop music group.

Enter: Sapphyria. In the tradition of The Archies and Dethklok, Sapphyria is a fictional group, yet they make real music. Take a listen to their single, Dandelion:
