Terra Ranae - Wild Again [Music Review]

December 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Rock, Contemporary R&B, Adult Contemporary
“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.”

    December 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, blues, Alternative, Rock
    “Hamish Anderson channels the classic guitar Gods on this Blues inspired, Indie Rock track. This Aussie might hail from down under but he’s quickly rising tot he top of talented musicians imparting their will with carefully chosen songwriting and those delightful guitar licks.”

      Ava Della Pietra - You Make It Christmas [Music Review]

      December 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Holiday, Singer/Songwriter, Pop, Folk
      “Ava Della Pietra achieves what is truly difficult on this Holiday track, which is to give us a song that feels like Christmas without coming across as derivative of the many classics we hear over and over again. ‘You Make It Christmas’ is an a nostalgic track that takes you back in time with acoustic charm and talent.”

        Sophia B - Jason [Music Review]

        November 12, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Adult Contemporary, Commercial
        “Sophia B is but one of the latest talents to emerge out of Berklee and this smooth soulful track puts a new spin on heartbreak. Understanding the pain can be tough until you experience it for yourself and this song is about reflecting on a friend’s heartbreak after tasting it for yourself the first time. ‘Jason’ is a track that speaks of live and friendship and human empathy.”

          Dead Rose - Fade [Music Review]

          November 05, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Future Bass
          “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.”

            Augustine - Fumbling [Music Review]

            November 05, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Indie Pop
            “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.”

              Livingmore - Resident Psycho [Music Review]

              November 04, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock, Indie Pop
              “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 - Grip Too Tight [Music Review]

                November 04, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Country, Americana, Neo-Soul, blues
                “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.”

                  Meredith Adelaide - What Do I Know [Music Review]

                  November 04, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop, Folk, Adult Contemporary, Americana
                  “Meredith Adelaide delivers an emotive and honest set of lyrics on ‘What Do I know.’ The singer/songwriter taps into a soft emotional side to unfurl an almost stream of consciousness look inward and in her own vulnerability the listener can tap into their own psyche and set of emotions. The vibe is calming and peaceful and lands between Folk and a tender Pop style bit of Adult Contemporary. Though the build ramps up in tension much inthe same way our brain tends to spin on our deeper thoughts.”

                    Bino Bames - I'm Sorry [Music Video Review]

                    October 23, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                    “Bino Barnes offers an emotional apology of sorts with his track , ‘I’m Sorry.’ The honesty is infused into every word and along with the I’m Sorry refrain there is a wry sort of acknowledgment that things needed to change and that both parties will be better off moving forward. He manages to execute this without coming across as sardonic or bitter despite the complexity of emotions.”

                      “Labit is a songwriter in every sense of the word. This Filipino-American is infusing life into all eighteen track of his latest album. The namesake track, ‘Sol’ is an ode to his grandmother and takes the life lessons and wisdom she imparted and infuses it into song. Emotive and tender, the track and album are filled with both love and truth. ”

                        “Lily Forte comes with a bit of a throwback sound. A dash of Amy Winehouse and a splash of ZZ Ward can be heard but Forte certainly puts her own flair and talent into this track. ‘Miles To Go’ is a sultry liberation anthem that wraps around you like a silk scarf to pull you in close enough to feel warm breath on your neck.”

                          “We are happy to present, ‘MESSY’ the lead single from Alex Ray’s debut EP. Ray is a Nashville based Alt Pop star in the making and this track about the chaos of of staring at yourself in the mirror and coming to grips with who and what we are.

                          The hard charged energy is undeniable and the vocal power is expressed in a variety of ways to truly showcase Ray’s talent on multiple fronts.”

                            “Olive Jones deliver smooth soul-infused pop with her latest track, ‘End Of Time.’ This is a track you can easily groove to behind the wheel or with the lights turned down low and the one that you love in the sheets beside you.

                            Jones hails from the UK though this kind of sultry smooth vocals transcends borders, to help bring this world closer together in the very best of ways.”

                              Florntenes rises above the noise and fray to deliver ‘The News,’ a track tackling all the extranious bullshiot this world spews forth. No BS here, just good old punch you in the face Rock and Roll. Get you some!”

                                “avalon wrote this about her childhood best friend years after cutting her out of her life. It is an apology to ‘sydney’ but also a mixed bag of emotions. Part tribute, part, goodbye she never said, and part love letter for a meaningful relationship that will forever be part of avalon.

                                The vulnerability is tangible, and the talent undeniable.”

                                  Jake Thistle - Alone, Together [Music Review]

                                  October 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Alternative, Rock
                                  “Jake Thistle taps into the Pop side of Indie Rock with hsi single , ‘Alone Together.’ Inspired by a stretch of New Jersey turnpike that gives him industrial smokestacks on one side and the gleaning Manhattan skyline on the other, the track is about how we often can be two things at once or find ourselves in situations that are.

                                  The song is performed with emotive brilliance and is one you can quickly sing along with as you tie the emotions to your own everyday life. ”

                                    B.Knox - History Repeats [Music Review]

                                    October 08, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Rock
                                    “B. Knox talks about the cycles of life and how they tend to repeat over and over again just as history itself does. ‘History Repeats’ is a straightforward Indie Rock track that almost feels familiar because of the many ideas and thoughts expressed that we all experience. ”

                                      BlackDiamond x Compton AV - Who's Next [Music Review]

                                      October 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Trap, Hip-Hop
                                      “BlackDiamond and Compton Av team up to deliver this hard hitting flow. The streets of Fresno shaped BlackDiamond and a thirteen year prison stint further honed who he is today. ‘Who’s Next’ is the kind of track that will resonate for others but comes from the heart and soul of a an artist that is simply spitting his own truths.”

                                        William Black x Blanke x MGRD - Goodbye [Music Review]

                                        October 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, Dance, Pop
                                        “William Black comes from a musical family and the Orange County native is putting his own signature sound to the music he’s creating. ‘Goodbye’ is a soaring Future Bass track that not only will get you to feel the beat but also touch you with strong lyrical writing to hold your attention far beyond the first listen.”
