        Slander x William Black - Back To U (Acoustic) [Music Review]

        January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, EDM, Dance, Pop
        “Slander is joined by William Beck on this track of tender vulnerability. ‘Back To U’ is a song about putting yourself out there even though doing so leaves you susceptible to heartbreak. The track is a reminder than the onlyw ay to truly live is to leave yourself exposed to the potential for pain. The writing is perfect and the performance emotions the vulnerability in a tangible way that makes you feel every note of this one.”

          January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, Dance, Pop
          “Łaszewo and AVELLO join forces to give us all a delightful ‘headrush.’ The track has a nice Future Bass build and the strong writing and emotive vocals add depth that mean this is a song you can move to or simply listen and reflect on the songwriting and performance. ”

            Yeshi - Starlight [Music Review]

            January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Dance
            “Yeshi puts an atmospheric stamp on the new year with her single, ‘Starlight.’ Created during a transformative trip to Los Angeles, Yeshi wrote, produced and recorded the vocals on her 25th birthday. Blending dreamy Pop with melodic Rap vocals the song is meant to reflect the feeling of stepping into a new chapter with confidence and clarity.”

              Ben Francis - Maybe (Radio Version) [Review]

              November 05, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Dance
              “Maybe” captures that universal moment when love turns uncertain, offering honesty and emotional clarity that listeners will instantly connect to. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever given their all to someone who couldn’t decide.”

                October 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, Dance, Pop
                “William Black comes from a musical family and the Orange County native is putting his own signature sound to the music he’s creating. ‘Goodbye’ is a soaring Future Bass track that not only will get you to feel the beat but also touch you with strong lyrical writing to hold your attention far beyond the first listen.”

                  yetep - Champagne (feat. Dia Frampton) [Music Review]

                  September 22, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Dance, Pop, House
                  “When you think of ‘Champagne’ you think of popping corks, celebrations and all around good times.

                  There is a hint of that is the effervescent bubbliness of this track from producer yetep and vocalist Dia Frampton, but there is also a soft haunting quality that pours forth some human emotion and the insecurity we can all feel even in those happier moments. The combination here is quite intoxicating on this Dance Pop/EDM track.”

                      Roots of Creation x Edo. G x Afroman - Ride or Die Chick - remix [Music Review]

                      June 26, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Dance, Pop, Rap
                      “What’s not to love about a groove-filled jam from Roots of Creation, Afroman, and Edo.G? I mean come one you can feel this one right from the start. ‘Ride Or Die Chick’ is a mantra tof stubborn love and dedication. An ode to loyalty perhaps even when it isn’t deserved.

                      And the easter eggs of hits gone by is a nice addition. This is talented artists having a good time and it shows.”

                        “Sara Marie Barron wanted to create a song about navigating your mental health while dating that you could dance to. And ‘Moon’ is exactly that.

                            “Roots of Creation creates a feel good vibe with ‘Move Along.’ At least musically. Lyrically the track is more about dismissing the haters, the dead weight, the roadblocks in your way. There is certainly a freedom in that and the groove here has an uplifting vibe that makes it easy to believe you can simply shrug away all the negative people. Maybe we can. Let’s give it all a shot and simply let the good times roll over us. ”

                                  Hayes Warner - Oh! [Music Video Review]

                                  January 25, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Dance, Pop
                                  “Dating is a treacherous operation and Hayes Warner unleashes her take on finding love in pure Pop glory with ‘Oh!’

                                  The song is the kind of glossy fare you’d expect from any top Pop Diva of the day and Warner is poised to join that party of Pop Princesses with this engaging and energetic track. ”

                                    “Peace and tranquility rule the day on this track from Sehou. ‘Falling Through The Air’ is one of those tracks that could fit the musical landscape over the last twenty years or so.

                                    The Electro/Dance Pop track is smooth and uplifting and will carry you along when you need that pick me up or recharge.”

                                      Luci - Loner [Music Review]

                                      November 05, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM, Electro Pop, Dance, Pop

                                      “Luci began her career as a an EDM producer and that influence is clear on this track, though the vocal side certainly has Pop sensibilities.

                                      ’Loner’ is an emotive and vulnerable track in its best moments, though for me the harder drops and production that turned toward a Future Bass/EDM style got in the way of the emotions at times.

                                      For me this track shined the brightest with Luci’s emotive delivery and less production behind it clouding the song. ”

                                        Dead Rose - Losing Oxygen (ft. Stella Smyth) [Music Review]

                                        “This track is a classic example of so many submission we receive here at LA on Lock. There is clear and obvious vocal talent, and even the arrangement has musical potential, the overall track lacks a clean production and build.

                                        From a few pauses and skips that at least felt unintentional, to the mix, which left the vocals feeling too distant at times this track just didn’t quite realize its full potential for me. And yet, I can tell the artistry and talent it is simply a matter of getting it all put together in a tidier package.”
