Pop Life Music Theme Released by Aloha Themes

One of the niches which hasn’t seen a lot of premium WordPress themes is the small selection of music themes which are currently available.   In fact, the only one that comes to mind is the Music theme by Revolution Themes, and that was discontinued over a year ago.

More recently Aloha Themes stepped up to fill that void with their first exclusive release, the Pop Life theme.  This new theme actually allows you to integrate music directly into the blog!  (Check out the demo below to see what I’m talking about)

Here are the features included with the Pop Life theme:

  • Integrated the WP-sIFR plugin to make managing your sIFR fonts easier (no more editing a config file)
  • Comes with PSD files for home page ads, logo and content backgrounds (home page and sub pages)
  • Multimedia showcase – add a music player or a YouTube video
  • Unique, multi-purpose design – easy to customize
  • Smart navigation – Showcases categories and pages
  • Flickr Integration
  • Gravatar Support
  • Featured Content Gallery for your featured posts
  • Widget Ready
  • Feedburner Integration
  • Banner ad managment / AdSense
  • Compatible with 2.8.4

Revolution Music Premium WordPress Theme

I’ve always been a huge fan of Brian Gardner’s Revolution themes, and his latest creation lives up to the hype that his past premium themes have received.

Brian has always been great about both supporting his themes and regularly releasing updates to his existing themes to add new features, including more control panel options, and whatever else he can find to improve them. People who have purchased the themes then get a free update.

Today I noticed Brian has taken his Revolution series into a new area that I don’t believe any other designers are operating in, and that is the music genre. There are a number of great music blogs out there and now there is a new music WordPress theme available for them to use.

So, what do you get with the Revolution music theme?

  • Special Featured Content plugin and thumbnail section on the homepage
  • Drop-down menu navigation
  • All 3 sidebar areas are widget-ready
  • Theme options page inside WP dashboard
  • Comments section coded for Gravatars
  • Google AdSense integration in between posts and comments
  • Blog page template

Here are some screen shots, though in my opinion you need to view the actual demo to get a true appreciation for this one because of the new “featured content” section.
