Slow Dancing (EP)
''Slow Dancing'' is the second extended play by Australian-American pop singer, Betty Who. The extended play was released on 8 April 2014 and peaked at number 57 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Critical reception Heather Phares from AllMusic gave the EP 4 out of 5, saying: "On ''Slow Dancing'', Who seems capable of going in any direction and doing it well. Many artists might need an entire album to cover as much musical and emotional range as she does in these five songs, which spend equal time honing the sound she introduced on ''The Movement'' and showing she can do even more. The bouncy 'Alone Again' shows that her ever-so-slightly '80s-tinged sound has legs and never feels overly retro. Meanwhile, 'Heartbreak Dream' and 'Giving Me Away' walk the line between happy and heartbroken so skillfully that better-known artists like Katy Perry would love to call them their own. Who puts her spin on smooth R&B with 'Lovin Start,' which evokes her '80s and '90s inspirations as well as contem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Synth-pop EPs
Synth-pop (short for synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop; ) is a subgenre of new wave music that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument. It was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock, electronic, art rock, disco, and particularly the Krautrock of bands like Kraftwerk. It arose as a distinct genre in Japan and the United Kingdom in the post-punk era as part of the new wave movement of the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. Electronic musical synthesizers that could be used practically in a recording studio became available in the mid-1960s, and the mid-1970s saw the rise of electronic art musicians. After the breakthrough of Gary Numan in the UK Singles Chart in 1979, large numbers of artists began to enjoy success with a synthesizer-based sound in the early 1980s. In Japan, Yellow Magic Orchestra introduced the TR-808 rhythm machine to popular music, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

That was a huge growth for me that led to the arc, the storyline of this record."

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Gui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
