Before Sia hit it big, both as a pop songwriter for Rihanna, Beyonce and Britney Spears and an enormous-voiced singer of tunes like "Titanium," "Chandelier" and recent hit "Alive," she was a quirky, tuneful indie-pop artist whose albums became critical darlings if not commercial successes. One such project, her third album Colour the Small One, is being reissued this spring, as both a digital expanded edition and, for the first time, a vinyl offering. Colour the Small One was, upon release in

Review: Elvis Presley, "The Album Collection"
I. Playing for Keeps "You don't have to face the music...you don't have to face the crowd...Just go back where you came from," sings a world-weary Elvis Presley on "It's Easy for You," the closing track of his 1977 album Moody Blue. "If you ever tire of the good life, call me in a year or two...I've got no choice, I'll forgive you, 'cause it's easy for you." Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical recrimination not only dated back to the superstar artist's final studio session - at home

Release Your Love: Robinsongs Expands Two Isley Brothers Albums

Moonlight Serenades: Bruce Kimmel Talks Complete Glenn Miller Soundtracks Coming To CD!

Review: Jeff Buckley, "You and I"
In February 1993, the young Jeff Buckley entered producer Steve Addabbo's Shelter Island Sound studio in New York City to record a series of demos for his new label, Columbia Records. On these tracks, Buckley explored a variety of material as he found his "voice" in the recording studio.

Review: Raspberries, "Raspberries" Vinyl Edition
When Eric Carmen and Wally Bryson of Cyrus Eyrie teamed up with Jim Bonfanti and Dave Smalley of The Choir, the result was pop bliss. The Raspberries emerged from the ashes from the two bands, and over the course of four albums - three with the original line-up, and one with just Carmen and Bryson remaining - they came to define power pop. Yet today, some might wonder: Why is the Cleveland, Ohio band so fondly remembered despite only placing one Top 5 single in the U.S. and two more Top 20s?
UPDATED: Bobby Darin's "Another Song On My Mind: The Motown Years" Coming In May For His 80th!
