VINCENT SONG: MASSEDUCTION ALBUM: Masseduction YEAR: 2017 GENRE: Electronic/Pop STORY: It took me long to discover St. Vincent.

How can anyone not like this song? It's for sure Lady Gaga's strongest effort in years and covered like a zillion times already which is a validation that it's turning into a classic for this specific decade.
Jet Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Not a huge Gaga fan but Shallow is a nice, her vocals are amazing there

P!nk Forever Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 ARTIST: WANDA SONG: BOLOGNA ALBUM: Amore YEAR: 2014 GENRE: Alternative/Indie STORY: Wanda are an Austrian Alternative Rock band. They're incredible because the lead singer has that typical charm of Falco who was very successful in the 80s and landed a #1 in the US with "Rock Me Amadeus". "Bologna" is a great tune with weird lyrics. You may wanna check it out because it doesn't throw a good light at the italian city at all.
