‘Shawty Is Da Sh*t!’. Now that’s how you start an album! Terius Youngdell Nash AKA The-Dream is not just another R&B bling bling ‘Give me something to poke’ guy. He’s a true ‘artiste’. Ok, that’s a little bit too much maybe, but he’s really talented.
Having written stuff for a lot of artists including Rihanna (’Umbrella’), [...]

The Last Shadow Puppets is not a totally new name to the indie rock scene. The band consists of Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys (with his recognizable voice) and Miles Kane of The Rascals (who is also young and pretty like Alex). So if you add these two together with some songs produced by [...]

Nneka is back and she didn’t forget her nice mellow music, her soothing voice and her too religious lyrics!
After her massive succes with her debut album ‘Victim of the Truth’ the expectations were that she couldn’t top her first album, but she actually managed to make something very similiar.
And that’s the thing with ‘No Longer [...]

Imagine Austin Powers undercover as an Indian guru and you get Guru Pitka, the star of this movie. But where the Austin Powers-series made a lot of people laugh, this movie is unable to even make you grin during its, still too long, 87 minutes! Except of course for scenes with Stephen Colbert!

When I was younger, around puberty, I thought I was pretty smart. Not because I had good grades in highschool, because to be honest I was doing pretty poorly, but because I was [...]

Slagsmålsklubben (AKA SMK) is a popular Swedish bitpop band. The name Slagsmålsklubben is a Swedish translation of the title of the movie Fight Club (some nice useless Wikipedia info). ‘Boss For Leader’ is their third full length album.
‘Hant’ is the name of the first song and is one of the happiest openers to an album [...]

Ok, so normally we wouldn’t do this at ++Mag, but because there are four really crazy good songs on these two albums we’re doing a one-for-two review!
The first album is ‘Play Music For You’ by Thieves Like Us. They are a Swedish American trio from New York. You could describe their album as a poppy, [...]

Please kill this bitch! Wait, I’m sorry this is ++Mag. Don’t kill her, just cut her tongue or her throat a little bit so she’ll shut up. Damn, we don’t need another R&B gal throwing that verbal BS all in our face, do we?
Well, just to show you ++ doesn’t mean that everything we put [...]

Chiplauw!! Me likey Santogold!! How come it took me four months to hear about her and her kickass album? Don’t know and actually it’s absolutely irrelevant. Just let me say: this shit is good!
Just so you know, Santogold (real name Santi White) isn’t a marketing tool. She was lead singer of Stiffed, a punk rock/ska [...]
