Cam Carter and Raquel Aurilia - Reaching Out For You [Review]

February 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Hip-Hop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“In today’s musical landscape, we often dismiss a track before it has time to truly land it’s emotional punches. I nearly did that here. The early vocal groove from Raquel Aurilia, while beautifully delivered, did not hit me in the feels, but when blended with the slow deliberate flow of Cam Carter and the message of the track subsequent refrains landed with perfect emotional balance. This is definitely a track that means more with each listen.”

    Cam Carter - Knee High (Prod by Van Leeuwen) [Review]

    April 03, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Commercial, Autotune

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Cam Carter brings a Southern tone to his flow here on this track produced by Van Leeuwen. Carter has been on the rise of the LA scene after making his way out west, but the musical roots of his past are hard to deny. A little bit of that Memphis soul leaks into both his lyrics and the vocal attitude of this track which seems to intensify in energy as it progresses. ”

      Cam Carter x Ghostwriter LA - Anything For That Body [Review]

      April 02, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “The art of storytelling within the strict confines of a three or four minute song is a challenging jump, that not many are able to land. Cam Carter is able to do so here with a quiet almost staid flow that is brought to live by the engaging hook of the chorus. Teaming up with Ghostwriter LA, Carter is able to bring out the nuances of the lyrics and deliver an emotional track that means even more upon subsequent listens.”

        Cam Carter - Shadows [Review]

        March 22, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Cam Carter’s hard hitting and emotional vocal flow dominates this track, but like most ‘Shadows’ the intrigue first comes from the haunting darkness, and this track begins with a beautifully dark vocal chant. The old school Boom-Bap flow hits with stellar writing and is punctuated by Carter’s intensity.

        Lurking in the peripheral is that haunting chant that adds just a bit of an Indie songstress giving this hard hitting track enough commercial appeal to appeal to the hard edged Hip-Hop fan as well as those who gravitate to more commercial sounds. Carter walks that line well by maintaining his conviction in the vocal flow. ”
