The month of February is often associated with themes of romance and icy weather, and this year was no different. Much to our approval, Cupid was shooting his arrows in the form of hot mp3s all month long. We were the benefactors of smooth piano-pop and danceable indie grooves to keep our eardrums thumping right along. It started out with Belgian-Australian musician Gotye making his American debut with the earthly-pop sounding "Somebody That I Used To Know", a track which has already found its way onto alternative radio. It was also a pleasant surprise to see Jack White return with some fresh music off his upcoming solo album Blunderbuss. His tune "Love Interruption" is a fresh piano pop nugget where he bellows out lyrics that seem to explore desires on how to control love, something no one has yet to figure out. And last, but certainly not least, indie-rockers Dr. Dog returned with their new record Be The Void. The first single "These Days" is a peppy dance number that finds the band flexing their impressive pop muscles. As the music world continues to spin, we were thankful February decided to share the love.
