    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 - Moon [Music Review]

      June 13, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B, Dance, Pop
      “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.

      The track has a tender vulnerability to go along with some genuine emotional grit all backed by an infectious beat that makes you want to close your eyes and let the music take over your body.”

        April Jai - WHY CHOOSE

        May 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Dance, Pop
        “April Jai described this track as her coming out musically as ‘WHY CHOOSE’ is the first of her music to mention her bi-sexuality. The sultry sensuous track is well-timed for Pride month, but good music hits any time of the year and this track comes with an undeniable vibe. ”

          Roots of Creation - Move Along [Music Review]

          May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae, Ska, Dance
          “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. ”

                “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. ”

                    Rating: 3.0 out of 5

                    “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. ”

                      “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.”

                        “A high energy Pop track with one foot planted in the retro sound of the 80s and the other here in the present to give the song a nice contemporary Commercial vibe.

                        Rhea Ray delivers a pleasing performance with ‘Wild One.’ The temp and build keep it all interesting though I did crave more lyrical depth overall. Still, this is a fun party time track about the roller coaster ride of infatuation and love and how we all crave another hit soon as the high fades. ”

                                  Zach Witness- Can't Get It Out of My Head [Review]

                                  “People sample all the time but the sample usually still sounds like the original. However, Zach Witness puts a good twist on the “Can’t Get It Outta My Head” sample. It is fast yet nostalgic with a dance like vibe. You will find yourself with a burst of energy every time the beat hits.”

                                    John Conlin - Love Me Just a Little [Music Review]

                                    “You up?

                                    This the cliche of middle of the nigh wantonness and the idea of John Conlin’s latest single, ‘Love Me Just A Little.’

                                    The track avids the cliche and delves into the emotions of wanting a bit more than a middle of the night booty call. The single builds along the way and the chorus is one that you will be joining in to sing along with especially during the backhalf of the track.”

                                      CZTRM - moonflower [Music Review]

                                      November 26, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Deep House, Dance

                                      “CZTRM does a nice job of blending the produced side of this track with emotional and tender, heartfelt vocal delivery. The track has a Dance/Deep House vibe in the beat and overall build. The energy is light, but engaging.

                                      Vocally, the delivery sparkles with life and just calls to the human soul. This is the kind of track that can turn your entire mood around. Uplifting without being too obvious about it.”

                                        Di Ruption -Problems [Music Video Review]

                                        “I appreciate Di Ruption incorporating “Problems” as a lyric video. It allows the listener to be more engaged outside of a vibin Reggae beat. Problems gives you a dance tempo over lyrics of pain. As Di Ruption expresses the issues and hurt. To me its like a gospel reggae track. ”
