It's mid-december, the nights getting longer, days shorter - so it's time to finish the year 2014 (musically). It was an incredible year with stunning new music! H ere they are -  my Top Ten Records of 2014 : 1. Dan Wilson - Love Without Fear Love Without Fear  has become an outstanding record with a strong collection of songs. It starts with the title track  Love Without Fear : beautiful harmonies and lyrics create an optimistic, catchy opener which draws the listeners attention to what may come next... ... and you won't be disappointed: songs like  However Long ,  Disappear ,  We Belong Together, When It Pleases You  are mature work and perfect musical handcraft.   The record closes with the amazing  Even The Stars Are Sleeping  (maybe my personal highlight of the record). For me the most amazing aspect about this album is the awareness of having a honest piece of work which carries true emotions. 2. Jeremy Messersmith...

" Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast " is the new full length Disney movie out in early 2015. It is about the relationship that develops between Fawn, a compassionate animal fairy who thinks with her heart, and Gruff, a massive beast with glowing green eyes who seems to be on a mission. The soundtrack may be of interest for the longtime PowerPopSquare reader - it features music from KT Tunstall and Bleu . " Float " (written by Bleu, sung by KT Tunstall), " Strange Sight " (sung by KT Tunstall) and " 1000 Years " (a duet by KT Tunstall and Bleu! ... wait ... !!!) are three damn fine songs.  Especially the latter is Bleu at the top of his game. Listen (and buy) the soundtrack at iTunes:
