“Love is a complicated game, and ‘Go Have Fun At Your Party’ nails the emotion of a relationship that isn’t quite right, but is close enough that it is hard to let go.
It is the kind of song that brings out that old heartache, misguided hope, and tarnished love that we’ve all been part of.
It is the kind of song that is real, and raw, and allows us all to understand we are not alone in these experiences.”
“In a testament to both great songwriting and a genuine emotional delivery, I was able to put myself in the shoes ... errr, make that prom dress, of our would-be party girl and feel every last emotion of this experience.
This is the power of good music ... which transports us back in time, beyond our own experiences, and to emotional places of empathy and understanding. ”
Lyrically this one leaves you singing along and grooving to the melody. Doesn’t hurt that the musical romp also carries a truth that will have the girls playing this one for their guys hoping the message sinks in.”
“Love the way this single builds and builds to the chorus.
Bridging that pop and punk gap, ‘Better Than Ever’ is dark and alluring all at the same time while expressing a defiance that will leave you pumped after listening.”
“This smooth, commercial tune could stand on its own merit, but beyond it so-called ‘entertainment legs,’ this track comes with a story of hope and dreams.
All proceeds from ‘Ready To Start’ will go toward assisting the Make-A-Wish foundation fulfill dreams of kids all over the world. Knowing this adds poignancy to the lyrics and takes a nice pop tune and turns it into an emotionally charged ode to the innocent fighters battling their way back. But not even that fact is the best part of this story.
In celebration of World Wish Day, April 29, Los Angeles-via-Australia electronic music producer Wish I Was (aka tyDi) has teamed up with 18-year-old wish kid Kara Kuper on the beautiful and inspiring “Ready To Start.” It was Kara’s wish to record a song. Being a big fan of Make-A-Wish, Wish I Was was happy to make Kara’s wish come true. Wish I Was secured time at Universal Music’s recording studio and enlisted the help of professional songwriters. In February 2019, Kara flew in from Chagrin Falls, Ohio to start work on the song. The completed song was chosen as the soundtrack for the new Make-A-Wish PSA as part of the 2019 World Wish Day campaign. World Wish Day will be celebrated throughout the month of April, kicking off with the launch of the PSA featuring “Ready To Start” on April 3.
World Wish Day helps bring attention to the significant role a wish plays in a child’s medical treatment. Research shows that a wish can help kids build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness– an eye-opening finding in light of the fact that Make-A-Wish is currently only able to reach one out of every two potentially eligible children in the U.S.
The PSA, created by TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles, stars Make-A-Wish kids and alumni whose wishes to be an astronaut, dinosaur, mermaid, football player, cowgirl and firefighter served as a catalyst for hope and healing. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/D3gkXY1dhCo
Wishes are an important part of a child’s medical treatment. They can give kids the strength to fight, to get better. ”
“This genre bending single carries a universal message without resorting to petty commentary making it stand out in the crowded field of break up songs.
Nice simple emotion carries this track, and a melody that offers several surprises along the way fuels this winning release from Marcus James.”
“I dig the retro 80’s vibe to this one. An instant toe-tapper, Spin Around will get you moving and when this one comes on the radio, you will have no choice but to turn up the dial and groove along! ”
“This didn’t go where I thought it was gonna go but I am not exactly made at that! I can imagine this track being played during the love scene of a top independent film! It is sonically great! 4.5/5”
“Is it unfair to give extra points because PJ is a African-American female with natural hair before I even hear her voice? Welp! You’ll be okay cause guess what?! The girl can sing too! & it’s not necesarilly your normal r&b/soul black girl music but it is definitely still #BlackGirlMagic ! Her song “This Is What It Looks Like” has a country hometown feel to it that people from all backgrounds can enjoy! I hope to hear more from her soon. PJ! Hit me girl!”
