“A glorious pop anthem for the dysfunctional relationship. Modern love can be a trap when it’s not right, and this single does a great job of showcasing those emotions in an entertaining, harmonic groove.”
These three words are a great place to start in describing Hannah Connolly’s single, ‘From Where You Are.’
Hints of Dolly can be heard in moments of the vocals, but beyond that soft vibration there is an emotional connectivity more in line with Jewel. This combination gives Hannah a unique sound all of her own, to go along with stellar songwriting that is layered with emotion and complexity.”
“The mixture of colors and the energy in these video gives it a fun and groovy vibe. As the lightening high lights the characters in a spot light. Hermitude delivers a song that all the girls and boys can dance to.”
“The vocal inflections early on hooked me, and the lyrics held me with a realness that is not found often enough in popular music. The beat is steady and the delivery smooth and engaging.”
“An interesting timber to the vocals catches your attention right away. Lyrically the writing is strong and the melody fits well with the performance. The backing chant is a bit overdone in much of the music that toes that Indie Rock/Americana/Folk vibe and here too, it did feel a bit extraneous , but overall ‘Sideways’ moves forward in a positive manner.”
“Clever and funny and brutally honest for those of us who have taken a proverbial ‘Let’s Just Be Friends’ bullet to the head after daring share our feelings.
“A nice beach vibe party song that falls somewhere between Alternative Rock and Americana. This is the kind of sound that blurs genre lines by appealing to a wide array of music lovers looking for a fun anthem.”
“Love should win out. Sadly it doesn’t always feel that way.
This single uses a simple melody, and straightforward lyrics to deliver a hope that we can all get to a point where love is our guiding force.
All of the voices here are powerful and strong as they take us to ‘Church.’ The hip-hop flow on the back end was a great touch to this well-produced track.”
“Life is a grind that beats us all down at times. ‘I’m Still Here’ takes that fact and the emotions we face during that struggle and distills them into a beautifully delivered song that reminds us of our successes in the face of the every day strife. ”
“Smooth and soulful, this song moves seductively between Americana and a nice Retro Soul vibe. The edges of James’ voice pull at the emotional reluctance of falling in love and the melody brings the nuances out into a nice calm ride that is perfect for reflective thought.”
“The hurt and anger comes through in the early vocal performance and the production brings a beat that serves well in adding to those emotions. The Rap flow forms an interesting bridge, but it is the chorus that will stick with you. ”
“A haunting song about the effects we have on others. In this case, the dynamics of a father/daughter relationship and how that shapes future relationships.
Beautiful and chilling at the same time, this is a deeply reflective single.”
“LA on Lock is proud to be the first outlet to feature, Emily Chambers’ latest release, ‘Girlfriend Like You.’
Emily Chambers possesses the timeless qualities of a true diva. Big bold voice that also feels conspiratory at times. Smooth and alluring and intimate ... this is the kind of song that can quickly become the mantra for friends of all types.
It is time to get on board the Chambers express because this girl ... is a fast rising star.”
