Have you ever thought of the popular American Christmas song "Frosty the Snowman" as a haunting, goosebumpy tale? We hadn't either until we heard Malaysian folky Zee Avi's shivery version. The skeletal arrangement and the old-timey wail in Avi's voice give the ordinarily cheery story the feeling of

Kyoto might not be known for its ghettos and public housing, but the tattooed, bandana-donning MC Anarchy is a product of a lesser known Japanese subculture. Growing up amidst poverty, abandonment by his mother, and alcoholism in his community, Anarchy uses his lyrics as therapy. Through three

Music lovers around the world must be agreeing with me, because from our view at MTV Iggy, 2011 marked a clear move beyond the English-language domination of pop music. As our 2011 Best New Band in the World, K-pop superstars 2NE1 said,...
