“Heartfelt vocals deliver this melancholy pop song about wanting to feel okay, while feeling stuck and out of place.
Acoustic guitar melodies add to the lonely vibe of this stripped down set of lyrics. Heavy on emotion, this is the kind of track that you play when you don’t want to think too much, or have your mind changed, but rather are looking for the perfect tune to match your brooding mood. ”
“Pure mood and emotion, ‘Twisted Paradise’ is the kind of song that reveals much in the melody alone. Layer in a beautiful set of vocals, and lyrics drenched with revelations about the fragility of dreams and hopes and this song has true resonance for us all.”
“Dripping with a pure California vibe, ‘Slow Fallin’ is both a retro groove, and a modern take on the sand and palm trees that serve as imagery for the laid back spirit of the West Coast.”
“The imagery of the video and the lyrics of this song combine to perfectly instill the emotion of this single. Theatrical and beautiful, the vocals are ideal for this type of song which feels could be the soundtrack for a crumbling love, or a divide in any type of relationship. Be it one between people, or nations. ”
“‘Room For You’ is a tough single to categorize. The vocals are fun and light and work their way into your ears and down into your brain making you want to move along. The melody varies and carries a hint of an Irish jig at times.
Overall, this is a song that gets you moving with a perfect performance and a well-written set of lyrics.”
“I hear many musical influences here, Elle King, Amy Winehouse, Adele ... but TAELA stands out as a talent no matter which influence seeps in at the the moment.
’Bang’ has that commercial sound that often finds audiences across multi genres and demographics. I can see this one becoming a track played loud and proud in many, many places this summer.”
“Smooth vocals and a fun, island-esque melody kept me listening to this one. Lyrically the track made me smile and groove along. A good one to just let loose with for some summer fun.”
“The terms new and retro do not logically belong together, and yet at times that duo forms the perfect description. As is the case with Fox Wilde’s ‘Strangers On The Run.’
Conjuring thoughts of Elton John and Billy Joel, this retro sound drops a new single that speaks to a new generation through fresh lyrical content.”
“Pop, reggae, hip-hop ... Tim Schou might not ‘Beat Around The Bush,’ but he did shake a lot of trees to drop this infectious plea for love.
The video highlights a man willing to do anything for the one he loves. Both video and song are smile inducing and this song is one that grows on you with each listen.”
“Mia Mormino’s latest single ‘WTF IS Going On’ was inspired by ‘Cell Block Tango’ from the musical, Chicago and it certainly carries that vibe ... but instead of relying on morbid amusement, this single stabs with the emotion of self-doubt.
In a relationship world dominated by social media and terms like ghosting, this one plays on how it feels to be the one guessing why.”
“At 16, Camellia Pink is savvy beyond her years in both songwriting, and the maturity of voice. The steady rhythm of the delivery adds to the emotion of the single and the words hit home. ”
