“Red Lotus returns with “Hello Darlin’,” a smooth and soulful escape that feels like an exhale after a long week. The track carries a calm, relaxed energy a gentle blend of R&B warmth and easy-listening groove that highlights Red Lotus’s signature ability to fuse emotion with restraint.
Lyrically, “Hello Darlin’” feels like a tender check-in of a a love letter that’s part nostalgia, part present moment.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Swedish songman, Bror Gunnar Jansson delivers the vibes with ‘Refuge,’ a slow steady track that builds and pulls the listener along. You could draw some comparison to Teddy Swims if you feel the need to lump Jansson in with an artist you already know, but there is an added dark or sinister vibe that made me think of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Overall I;d call this soulful, Blues.”
“This track is a smooth, laid-back jam that blends modern textures with soulful roots. The supportive ad-libs and subtle autotune adds a contemporary edge without overpowering the vibe, keeping the essence grounded in a rich neo-soul feel. It’s the kind of record that flows easy but still leaves an impression.”
“Sara Marie Barron wanted to create a song about navigating your mental health while dating that you could dance to. And ‘Moon’ is exactly that.

“It isn’t easy to put Duckwrth in a box and label him. And this new release, ‘I’m Really Changing’ only amplifies the ambiguity of his sound.
The track brings some Neo-Soul groove, a little R&B smoothness and a tranquil Hip-Hop flow to unleash the lyrical progression of this track about shifting and changing to be a better man. But in the end, it’s all about that tasty vibe!”
“Mathilde Widding is a Norwegian songstress with smooth sultry soul filled vibes. Capturing the same magic of Amy Winehouse or ZZ Ward, Widding draws the listener in with a little grit and a lot of silk smooth emotion infused into her delivery. ‘Good Grief’ is the type of song that sticks to you long after the last note.”

“Newfound love and infatuation can border on obsession and that is the sentiment captured by Ex habit and BURY on their sultry new release, ‘Let Me Fall.’
The track straddles the line between Neo Soul and Contemporary R&B, but certainly has a mainstream Commercial vibe that will resonate with music lovers of all genres.”
“Wombino has that easy smooth flow that only certain artists can pull off without feeling emotionally flat. In that regard Wombina can be compared to Mac Miller and Kendrick. ‘Granite’ is a rock-solid ltrack full of lyrical power and insight.
The track definitely straddles the line of Hip-Hop and Neo-Soul. A song that will make you think. One that will bring you back to listen multiple times. ”

“I loved the emotion and writing of ‘Killer of Mine,’ as well as the old school piano and clap beat. That said, the edges could have been softened and rounded out to better allow the emotions to land.
McCabe has clear and obvious talent and he emotes well, though for me the backing got in the way of me truly feeling the track in places. A softer mix would have lifted this one to greater heights for me but it is still a good, worthwhile track that lets the writing and emotions carry much of the workload.”
“I really liked this one after that intro which for me felt out of place with the rest of the groove and smooth delivery.
M’Lynn has a nice sultry vocal delivery that carried me along and I like the beat behind it for the most part though a few of the transitions felt a bit clunky by comparison to the rest of the groove.”
“Jet Vesper sets the mood and vibe with ‘Golden Day.’ The smooth easy beat and groove is infectious and the vocal build is light and airy giving this track a uplifting tone that simply makes the world feel like a better place.
Jet Vesper brings the joy from down under as this Aussie artist unleashes a bit of the carefree attitude that we all need in this day and time of anger, hate, and stress.”
“The song will give any listener a retro feel. This is not jus a celebration of soul music but a celebration of the soul of music. You can feel the energy as it makes you want to hit the dance floor.TJ Wilkins and the chorus have a blended delivery with each note, I am excited to see the video because I visualized it in my head. ”
