Last year’s Grammy nominations seemed to be a step in a direction more reflective of the Pop zeitgeist (don’t believe us, check out what Pitchfork had to say) but was ultimately plagued by the presence of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. This year, for the first time in seemingly forever, the Grammy nominations are not [...]

We first heard ‘Make Her Say‘ back in April and it still stands as one of the best uses of the double entendre in the so-so GaGa original.
