“We all long to go scorched earth on those who have done us wrong, but the opportunity to do so doesn’t always come, or when it does we are in shock and don’t think of what we should have said until later.

The Punk anthem comes in with energy and delivers its lyrical blow the way good righteous Punk should. 1blackfriend is poised for greatness given the strength of this their sophomore release.”

He’s also written global hits for other artists, and now he’s poised to be a breakout artist himself. ‘Potential’ is a song we can all relate to.

’THE WORLD YOU BUILT’ is the newest single from that upcoming project and the intensity is palpable so I can’t wait to hear/see it all come together. The Indie Rock track gives you more with each listen and the emotion comes via an in your face arrangement and delivery that is hard to resist.”
“An uplifting and soaring Future Bass track, ‘Paint The Sky’ from yetep and AMIDY is the kind of track that feels like you;ve heard it before.

The track simply gets in your soul and makes you feel better for having listened. ”

The writing is perfect and the performance emotions the vulnerability in a tangible way that makes you feel every note of this one.”

“Drew Schueler is an award winning songwriter. ONe of those guys that is often labeled as the next big thing. Despite these accolades and a very promising future the phrase ... I thought by now I’d have more figured out, hit him hard.
A sentiment many of us have had in multiple phases of life, but unliket he average person Schueler was able to take that doubt and resulting emotions and create a beautiful and heartfelt track that speak to the humanity of us all.”
“Fans named this single after Alt Pop songwriter, Savanna Leigh played the song and said its called ... well, nothing yet. The track gained attention from those live shows and fans started referring it it as ‘nothing yet’ and the name stuck.
The track is a heartfelt look at a relationship you know will never work int he end and yet you plunge in anyway to pas time until you do find the right fit.”
“This Comedic Punk track starts out sounding a bit like the Phineas and Ferb theme song and it is delivered a bit tongue in cheek. That said the social commentary is very real and on point. Fox Robinson has fun but still manages to say something and if that isn’t Punk I don’t know what is.”
“This sultry Pop track is all about rekindling that spark. Terra Ranae is ‘Wild Again’ about reinvigorating that early relationship thrill by doing whatever it takes to make the bedroom sizzle like the first time. Lust and love are not always the best of bedfellows and this song aims to change that in the sultriest of ways.”

“Future Bass and EDm are often all about the beat and drop with little regard to lyrical intensity. Dead Rose is not guilty of that with their latest offering, ‘Fade,’ a track that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically. Well-written and cleanly produced the track is one yo can fall into as easy as move to the tranquil rhythms and build.”
“we all fall into a rut and life grows stagnant from time to time. Its realizing and shaking things up that can be hard. Augustine takes on this mindset with ‘Fumbling’ a soft emotional track about finding your legs and moving forward once again after a down period. The Swedish Alt Pop artist showcases talent and emotion on a well-written track performed with genuine authenticity and talent.”
“We’ve all had that one weird neighbor. Livingmore decided to take the odd experiences and sounds emitting from from their LA apartment neighbor and spin it into a song. ‘Resident Psycho’ is a gritty Alt Pop/Rock track with some old school psychedelic vibes layered in. Lyrically its more of a vibe than anything else, but the rythmn and hard-charged melody carry the day and you can feel this one in your teeth.”
“Tape Division takes on Country Pop with their latest single ‘Grip Too Tight.’ That is their description of this track but for me the sound is more soulful than country, more bluesy than Pop. This track has a Teddy Swims type vibe and style.
But genre aside the track is well-written and we’ve all certainly held on a little too tight and found ourselves in a vulnerable position as a result.”
