Though we admittedly had a ball compiling the list of the 10 Worst Album Covers of 2011, we’re not just a bunch of haters here at Idolator. There were several album covers from LPs released this year — 10 to be precise — that we fell head over heels in love with, either due to the cover’s originality, its entertainment value, or just the sheer beauty of the particular piece. Last year we chose Katy Perry’s whimsical Teenage Dream as our favorite cover art, and this year’s #1 pick is just as dreamy. Check out the 10 best examples of how an album’s cover can elevate the entire experience of enjoying music. More »

Best Music 2011: Patrick Stump Picks His Favorite Album Of The Year
Mon Dec 5 2011 by Becky Bain
As another year of music comes to a close, we'll be analyzing and debating the critics' picks of what tunes summed up 2011 best. But we're also interested in the perspective of the artists who helped shape the sound of the past 12 months. We’ve picked a special class of pop artists — talents who defined what we heard and saw in 2011 — to participate in our special year-end feature, exclusively sharing with us their picks for the best albums and most exciting performers in music.
Kicking off our annual series is Patrick Stump, who selected an album from a songwriting legend, and someone who clearly influenced the "This City" crooner's own musicianship. And that talent has been in evidence more than ever this year, as Patrick rocked a string of a cappella crowd pleasers, and his debut solo LP, Soul Punk, which itself ranks among the best albums of 2011 . Jump below to find out whose music had the biggest impact on Stump in 2011. More »

Tue Nov 29 2011 by Robbie Daw
Since January, our ears have reveled in hearing new LPs from several bona fide superstars and promising debuts from up-and-coming artists. Of course, there was also one juggernaut from a power-house Brit vocalist that shattered all expectations. Naturally, a few of our discoveries rose above the usual din, and it's about time we shared the music that truly sound-tracked our 2011.
And so, like at the end of 2010, each of the site's three editors recently took it upon themselves to strap on their pumped up kicks and sift through the records that ran the world, rolled in the deep and took them to their own personal edge of glory in 2011. Head below to catch the roundup of Idolator's 10 Favorite Albums Of The Year (which, we'll point out, are in no particular order). More »

Patrick Stump Brings “This City” To ‘The Tonight Show’
Wed Nov 16 2011 by Becky Bain
Patrick Stump was originally supposed to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno a few weeks ago, but got bumped because President Obama decided he wanted to chit-chat with Jay. (The nerve!) Stump finally got his chance to shine on the late night talk show while wearing a flashy cobalt blue suit (complete with one of his favorite things — a matching bowtie!) as he performed "This City". The Soul Punk singer sounded phenomenal, though we're itching for a new single at this point. The bubbly ode to drinking, "Run Dry", would be our pick. Nevertheless, check out the boy in bright blue below!

Tue Oct 18 2011 by Becky Bain
Patrick Stump’s debut solo album Soul Punk drops today, and its fusion of pop, R&B, soul, and dance is a far cry from anything he released during his ten years in Fall Out Boy. It will be interesting to see how FOB followers react to the singer’s new experimental sound, but going solo is never without its risks. Stump isn’t the first artist to either permanently or temporarily step away from the group that made them famous in order to pursue their own project. Check out our retrospective of 10 other music acts courageous enough to brave it alone. More »
