One of Vodka’s favorite indie-pop duos, Natalie and Sebastian Brice, better known as Sinnober, has been churning out some excellent singles of late. Enter It Meant Something To Me (heard here) which was released a little over a week ago, and could be the best new track yet. It’s the sort of song that will have your head bobbing while the melody gets stuck in your head on repeat as any good pop tune does. The upbeat music belies the underlying…

Read MoreIntroduction The oft-mined genre of power-pop can sometimes be pretty boring stuff. It fits the mold for dance music, but from there it can fall flat. Not so with pop mastermind Lannie Flowers who has created an LPs worth of wonderfulness with his latest release, Flavor Of The Month due out February 25, 2022.
