“William Black teams up with Fairlane and AMIDY to give us all a ‘Nightmare.’ But don’t worry this one won’t leave you with cold sweats or a bad night’s sleep. This Future Bass track will instead get you on the floor moving your body and relating to the foreboding lyrical build as your prepare for that next drop and breakdown.”
“yetep enlists the help of Trella to deliver this Future Bass track and the pairing is perfect as the two side compliment each other perfectly to create a smooth groove.
’Hate It When It’s You’ is a track that you can hold tight to your partner and move as one to, or that you can sit alone and reflect about life and love. Either way you will feel this one as much as hear it. ”
“Logan Garrett teams up with Country vocalist Madeline Edwards to create the most unlikely of fusions. EDM and Country are rarely intertwined and enver as successfully as on this track, ‘ Take Me Down.’
There is a vibe not all that different than than Mumford & Sons though this song relies less on that folksy Rock side and leans into emotional defiance to exhibit the diverse talent.”
“STK unleashes ‘Be The One’ an upbeat and energetic ode to romantic possibilities. This EDm track has a good energy making it perfectly danceable but also a track to get your blood pumping sp ad dit to your workout list or send it to the one you love and see what happens. Maybe you’ll work up a sweat together.”
“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 is a track that technically has little to critic, but that said there is also not a lot to get excited about. The talent is obvious both in the performance and production but for me this track had more of a ‘all in a day’s work’ feel than it it did a passionate creation. The end result had a paint by numbers feel for me.
Here at LA on Lock we are trying to feature more songs with our opinions to showcase what our inbox looks like and this is one of those middle of the road track with talent, but lacking the spark to truly inspire us with something we haven’t heard before.”
“Tungevaag is no stranger to success with more than ten million streams. “Without You’ is the kind of Big Room EDM you’ve come to expect from Tungevaag who is fast becoming one of Norway’s biggest imports.
The build here is smooth and the production clean and despite the sort of calm tranquility you still can feel the compulsion to move to this beat and build. ”
“A slow build helps sell the emotion of ‘Are You Happy Now,’ and the talented vocals mesh well within the tight clean production of the track. The EDM track has more of a melancholy vibe, but is still the kind of track you can move and feel as you do so.”
“The mix and mastering on this isn’t the best. It is categorize as Trap EDM but has an annoying pop like sound to it. Her vocals are seductive but the beat does no justice. The features didn’t make it better. I want others to hear the talented vocals but also in hopes there’s another track that shows this talent.”
“This sounds so much like the original but with a little more added EDM to it. I found myself fast forwarding just to see if more was giving and it wasn’t. However, Waka Flocka has energy that makes you vibe so this unique mix is defiantly worth adding to a party or dance playlist.”
“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.”
“This is a collaboration that will have plenty of eager fans ready to dive straight in. R3HAB teams with Jason Derulo to deliver ‘Animal.’
The track is about what you’d expect from two talented artists and the energy is palpable. Get out ont he floor and move or adds this one to those energetic playlists to get you motivated and moving.”
“A smoothly delivered track with a nice escalation up front to light the fuse. John Newman wrote this as an ode to his newborn daughter, though the track has a universal appeal that will resonate for listeners and take on new personal meaning for them as well.
The track has a nice uplifting energy, without going over the top making it a highly listenable track as good for a party, personal reflection while driving alone in the car, or simply chilling with a handful of friends. ”
“I pressed play and found my feet tapping and my shoulders rocking to the beat. Drunk In Love is surely a dance pop track that will hypnotized your musical soul. The dynamics are a mix of happy and high energy as Vodka Milk tells a love story of being Drunk In Love.”
“Dutch duo, Vicetone, drops this danceable EDM track but don’t let yourself think this is a catchy beat with throwaway lyrics. The tone is light and airy but there is genuine emotion at the heart and a spirit of home to the build and progression. This is the kind of track that really grows on you with each listen so add it to your playlists and dig in, because this song as well as ‘The World Has A Heartbeat,’ and if you listen in you will both hear and feel it. ”
“Man vs Monkey teams with the vocal talents of Dutch singer, Bymia to unleash this emotive build and infectious beat. ‘When I’m 22’ is a lyrical jewel that will make you think and reflect regardless of your current trips around the sun count. The music will make you move and the words will make you ponder what it all means in the best of ways. I can’t wait to take a dive in on the rest of this album and see where the entire selection of songs takes me.”
“R3HAb and INNA team up to put a new unique spin on Sash!’s iconic 90s hit ‘Ecuador.’ The build and beat are the same, though the vocals and lyrical build make this feel like a completely different song.
’Rock My Body’ is a high energy Dance Pop track with one foot in the past and one solidly here in the present. No the track isn’t reinventing anything, but it is highly danceable and a groove you will fall in on quickly.”
“We all have a bit of ‘Dopamine Junkie’ in us, because we are all chasing those good feelings. This track about the gratifying high of discovering that perfect song that speaks to out heart and soul.
The production here is clean, and while the build is fairly subdued for the genre, the track does indeed take the listener on a ride. The vocals are in perfect balance with the beat and build making this a well rounded track that is easy to connect with. ”
“OnSake, in conjuntion with Maia Malancus traverses the line between pop and a pure EDM sound. I hear some ZZ Ward type blues lurking in the vocal tone, and the attitude drips both in the performance and the writing. ‘Badass Girl’ could be a breakup anthem or a self affirming reminder of your power and worth.
The track did drop off for me a bit on the backend and I was left craving more of that early verve, but still a single with merit.”
“Ryan Winston creates a track that certainly reminded me of Calvin Harris though ‘Wierd Love’ does not feel derivative and the vocal talent of Leslie Ann Miller sells the emotion in a way that the track hooks from the very first verse.
This is the kind of track that reveals new nuance and emotion with each listen. A track perfect for a number of playlists and moods. ”
