For R.E.M., There’s Much to ‘Reveal’
"We're really interested in finding the beauty of music these days," R.E.M bassist Mike Mills recently told VH1.com. "It's not so much about hitting people over the head with anything, but taking a song and seeing how you can either find something really lovely inside it, or bring something really lovely to it. You know, heavy emphasis on melody and that sort of thing. I think that…

Stevie Nicks: Music That’s Always Deep, Always Real
Hers is the voice that launched a million record shipments. Indeed, before Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, the group was a road-weary blues band with a surplus of critical acclaim and an undeserved lack of commercial success. But with Nicks' recruitment, the tide dramatically shifted for the stalwart quintet. Nicks was a bona fide goldmine: a superb songwriter with bewitching good looks and the…

The Bee Gees Return to Their Roots
The Bee Gees' current release, This Is Where I Came In, finds the durable sibling trio returning to their roots, re-embracing the organic, harmony-driven approach that originally propelled them to chart success in the 1960s, a decade before the disco-era superstardom that accompanied the group's work on the Saturday Night Fever film soundtrack. The English-born, Australian-raised trio of Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb…

Sting Romances His Way Through a
According to Sting, the birth cycle of his seventh solo album, Brand New Day, developed in an organic - and atypical - manner. As the artist told Billboard, "It began on a lark, whereas all the previous records had been done very professionally, where we'd clock on at 9, the songs were already written, and the producer was on board." Sting says that when…

Stroke 9
“We never tried to get signed,” says Luke Esterkyn, frontman for up-and-coming San Francisco foursome Stroke 9. “We’ve just stuck together and persevered and kind of let things happen. It’s been very organic.” Stroke 9 - the name is borrowed from T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” - originally formed while its members were high-school classmates. That longstanding rapport is evident on the band’s major-label…

Me’Shell Ndegeocello:
On the cover of her new Maverick Records album Bitter, singer/songwriter Me'Shell Ndegeocello lies in woeful repose, crumpled on a bed like a carelessly cast-off blouse. In stark contrast, the back cover features a photo of the singer staring mirthfully into the camera. Like its ambiguous cover art, Bitter is a record of contrasts: lovelorn ballads…
