Comment: I’ve been streaming ELO, Alessia Cara and Chris Isaak on NPR, and I can’t say I’m overwhelmed, fair to middling but that’s it, so let’s look elsewhere. Some sidemen in big bands, Tame Impala and the Swan,  have albums out,  some boys for girls, One Direction head to head with Justin Bieber,as well. rapper Jeezy, Wreckless Eric… I think I’m going with the new Bieber because despite not being crazy about the songs I’ve heard, I don’t dislike them either, and this is grown up Justin: it is a big move and it appears to have worked.
