RJ Pasin - XO (with Sophie Powers) [Music Video Review]

“Plenty of music claims to be a fusion but in the case of RJ Pasin and Sophia Powers new track, ‘XO,’ the term is one-hundred percent accurate. Metal Core Pop? Electro Pop Punk?

It doesn’t really matter how you label this in your face ode to cutting through the noise of societal pressures and delivery your truth, because you will feel it deep in your soul.”

Chloe Star - TNT [Music Video Review]

“Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.

’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”

Logan Garrett - Take Me Down (feat. Madeline Edwards)

“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.”

Joveth - Money Can't Buy Happiness [Music Review]

“Money, money, money is sung about nearly as much as love. ‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’ by Joveth is a new track taking on the subject of wealth and fame.

The staccato delivery and Pop sensibilities give the song an easy energy, but the message remains one we all need to be reminded of from time to time.”

Jadelyn - Runaway [Music Review]

“Jadelyn turned a sandy beach daydream of her own into an engaging Electro Pop track that built from that original idea into a universal sentiment that we can all understand.

Love is something most of us inspire to and our minds often race eight steps ahead building a story of happily ever after. ‘Runaway’ is all about those run thoughts we have while daydreaming about our fantasies.”

Ellisa Sun - Talk to Ya [Music Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Featured in the Hulu TV series, Dollface, ‘Talk To Ya’ by artists Elisa Sun has a nice suspenseful beat to instill an edge right from the start.

Sun has a Pop edge to her vocal style though this one leans a little dark than most Pop tracks. There is a bit of an an 80s nostalgia to the overall sound though this Electro Pop number is right at home in today’s musical landscape.”

Emeryld - Lights Camera Baby! [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Emeryld wrote ‘Lights Camera Baby’ with Slush Puppy after a messy breakup and even messier relationship.

She explains the motivation well. “We were two girls in the same friend group which led to us feeling like local bar celebrities, turning heads and sparking controversy, when in reality, it was just embarrassing and narcissistic to think we were anything serious but a spectacle, mirroring and magnifying each other’s issues.”

This track billed by the artist as a ... gay “cry in the club” song, was inspired by the sound today’s top Pop divas. Emeryld can stand proudly among them as she unleashes her truths in a vulnerable yet confidant way that showcases her talents.”

LEWIS FITZGERALD - EASY [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“South London artist, Lewis Fitzgerald is a rising star. We;ve featured him before and his name is starting to pop up in more and more places. Easy’ is Fitzgerald’s latest single and it continues to showcase his versatility and talent.

I won’t claim this is my favorite track from him, but “Easy’ is a good song. Perhaps a bit glossier than I personally favor, but this London artist is capable of grittier music with a sharper edge as well, and this more Commercial offering will certainly find eager listeners. ”

Super Massive - Caught In A Web [Music Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Super Massive unleashes a high energy summer time track with their latest single, ‘Caught in A Web.’

Wait, what? Summertime? Yep, you read it right. Super Massive is an Aussie based dance/rock band that blends electro, electro-pop, dance-pop, synthpop and EDM and while here in North America we are the cusp of winter they are ready to bask in some summertime fun down in the Southern Hemisphere.

Th track is a throwback of synth glory and a fun romp.”

Luci - Loner [Music Review]

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. ”
