When amor is real, it hurts. It bleeds. It’s ugly. Chilean songwriter and poet Francisca Valenzuela evokes all emotions with “En Mi Memoria (In My Memory),” a gently crooned song from her second studio album, Buen Soldado. The pop rock diva’s soft voice and piano crescendos provide cushion for the

In the world of music, the word “cover” invokes thoughts of bad singing and a fuzzy webcam. Yuna, a folk popper from Malaysia, changed our minds with her smooth,...

At MTV Iggy, we believe that pop music is becoming increasingly borderless. The internet age brought on the birth of millennial sensibilities -- and with it, a world where western artists aren’t the only ones dominating the vernacular. Americans can listen to Korean pop. Venezuelans can fall in

With a stable of catchy, sunny folk tracks, Peru's Francois Peglau is some kind of cross between a happy-version of Bob Dylan and a lo-fi Stephin Merritt. He's not a classic folk musician in any sense. Peglau mutes his microphones, buries his finger-picked acoustic guitars under a wishy-washy layer

We have a feeling that Kuala Lumpur-based folk pop singer-songwriter Liyana Fizi doesn't hear "no" a lot. Just look at that smile. Your heart melted like a Popsicle, didn't it? Just a guess, but we suspect that if anyone ever does deny Fizi anything, she probably just pulls out her acoustic guitar

Love does funny things to people. For adorable married couple/adorable folk pop duo Endah N Rhesa it may have changed the direction of their musical lives. Vocalist and guitarist Endah Widiastuti met bassist Rhesa Aditya while playing in a rock band. They both left the band in 2004 and Endah went

A good dance track is hard to find. More specifically, a good dance track that you're willing to listen to sober whilst four days away from viable social contact is hard to find. Yet "Out of It," a hit from Denmark's Fallulah, was recently remixed by Parisian disco house tinkerer Monsieur Adi, and

This week we belly-up to stages and hit the streets to catch music performed live. From Puerto Rican garage rockers to Australian disco-house throwbacks to Moroccan socially conscious rap, we try to capture lightening in a bottle -- the anything-goes magic of music unleashed upon an audience. Be

Rapper YAS is Iran's Persian hip hop laureate. A disciple of Tupac and Rumi, YAS uses uplifting poetic imagery delivered through an impassioned, at times ferocious, flow to communicate uplifting rhymes about his culture and people. The 29-year-old Tehran native broke ground in Iran by becoming the

The movie theater at Union Square was a quarter full with a mix of Japanese young people and other New Yorkers. What drew this group together -- one of many around the world who turned out for the special screening event on November 29th -- was the L'Arc~en~Ciel 20th L'Anniversary Live concert

Y La Bamba of Portland, Oregon play dreamy, soulful folk pop that has the power to cast a spell and creep under your skin. Singer/guitar player Luzelena Mendoza's powerful voice holds a lot of the magic. It isn't just the vintage, golden-age-of-radio style she sings in. Or, maybe, it's that it's

In the world of music, the word “cover” invokes thoughts of bad singing and a fuzzy webcam. Yuna, a folk popper from Malaysia, changed our minds with her smooth, haunting cover of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are.” P.S. – see if you can spot Pharell!...

Yuna is conquering Malaysia with her acoustic guitar and winning folk pop tunes – enchanting listeners with the gentle warble in her voice, a flair for old-timey pop songcraft, a bit of Feist’s soul and subtlety, and Mirah’s warmth. Her rapidly evolving sound can be incredibly stripped-down and

2011 was a year of momentous musical debuts. Some of them (Hack, cough, Odd Future) we're all a little sick of hearing about. But there were even more that flew under the radar yet while still making an impact. We made this list of the most exciting first albums we heard this year to...

On December 10, Big Bang‘s Taeyang uploaded an unplugged, keyboard cover of Beyonce’s “I Miss You” to his brand new Youtube channel. The YG Entertainment artist wrote in the video’s description, “I put this video up …
