“This duet is heavy on both emotion and talent. Drew Schueler and Kiki Halliday deliver emotive vocals to this well-written tracks about how we tend to linger far too long in relationship even when there has been irreparable damage to the foundation.
’Ruins’ is the perfect metaphor and this track truly brings out the nuances and layers of the human condition under such transformative times.”
“Few artists can convey emotion and passion the way Paolo Nutini can. There is a timeless Rock sound, like you’d find from the Eagles or Tom Waits with a strong songwriters sensibilities driving and pushing the lyrical build.
Artistry is the word of the day as you can feel the emotion and talent combine to create a vibe that transcends time and genre. ”
“This track made me think Bruno Mars meets Taylor Swift. The beat and groove are all Pop Funk, but lyrically, I hear some comparisons to the emotion Swift routinely delivers. Maddie Poppe incorporates the best elements of both on this track.
’One That Got Away’ is a snappy single that pulls the listener along with smooth grace and ease. As we enter the cusp of fun and sun, this track delivers the solid summer vibes we all need.”
“Steven Curtis captures a tender beautiful track about being patient with ourselves and not comparing our success or failures with others. This is especially tough to do in these the days of special media and instant gratification. The balance of being a responsible adult and chasing your dreams is a tough one to juggle and sometimes it does indeed take , ‘Patience.’ ”
“A light airy arrangement and well-written lyrics are accentuated by a soft emotive delivery. Kid Travis delivers this Electro Pop hit with energy and passion and the result kept me moving and leaning in through multiple listens.
This track feels like Bieber meets Ed Sheeran with a decided Kid Travis stamp over the top. ”
“This track from Jeff Tunes reminds me a bit of Uncle Cracker. ‘Rooftop’ is one of those tranquil jams that feels perfect for summer. Light and airy the tune sweeps you up and in and is almost impossible not to sing along with by the second chorus. A smooth groove that carries you along and puts a bit of spring in your step. ”
“A hauntingly beautiful track about carving out your own wants and needs in a world that all too often demands you give in and sacrifice pieces of yourself to fit in. The build has a brooding vibe and also a fierce determination to stand up for yourself int he face of demands from others. A reminder we all need from time to time so add this one to your self motivational playlists and feel the power of the writing and delivery. ”
“Written for his wife, ‘Come Break My Heart’ is a tender and heartfelt ode of love. Could be classified as Country or Americana or simply a songwriter sharing his heart but what you can the track isn’t nearly as important as the emotions fueling it. With a hint of gravel and a nice emotive tone, Eric Lee delivers a track that sticks with the soul. ”
“Sometimes we love the idea of someone or something more than the actual person or thing. Madisyn Gifford drops this track about moving on from a relationship while missing not the person but all the external variables that made up their surrounding while together. The vocal delivery is honest and borders on vulnerability mixed with regret. Lyrically the track is almost a stream of conscious vibe that we all do when contemplating how things used to be. ”
“We’ve all spotted that person that captivates us with their looks, only to be disappointed once that person opens their mouth. ‘Wish I Could Want You’ takes a lap around that emotional pool, but does so with powerful vocals and a wry set of lyrics that makes this track not only a smooth groove, but a stunning bit of sarcasm that lands all of its lyrical punches.
The video will have you ready to hit the lake. Can’t wait to hear more music from this talented artist. ”
“Tyson Trill convey a chill easy going vibe on his latest track, ‘Harmony.’ The track walks a line between Acoustic Pop and a Hip-Hop. The build and delivery are smooth and tranquil and the groove is an easy one to fall in and lose yourself. The peaceful vibes we need just in time for a hectic weekend for most of us.”
“Fuhr conjures thoughts of Avicii on the track ‘Goodbye.’ Described as a love song that you can dance to, the single comes alive thanks to both a talented vocal performance and a spot on production that adds energy and emotion to layer up the piece and make it truly feel alive. ”
“Finding your personal ‘Okay’ in the face of turmoil is never easy, but sometimes trying is all we can do, becasur hte ugly truth is .... not everything is magically made better by time, medicine, or anything else. Anna Dellaria captures this with a delicate and haunting beauty with her tender and talented vocal performance. The track lifts and soars and dips and dives as does our lives and this track feels much like the ride we call life.”
“Katelyn Tarver is an accomplished singer/songwriter that deserves far more accolades than she has received thus far.
’Hurt Like That’ is yet another feather in her quiver of talented tracks and both the performance and the writing sparkle here. Give this track a listen, then take a deep dive into Tarver’s library and discover the wonders that awaits you.”
“There is a heartfelt beauty to Jeffrey James’ track, ‘In The Back Of My Mind.’
Speaking on the inspiration that led to the track, Jeffrey says, ‘For better for worse, the people we chose to pair up with forever impact who we are moving forward. There are a small handful of women I’ve dated that will always hold a place in my heart. It’s not love. It’s a bond and an influence that I’ll forever be grateful for.’
I felt this sentiment and connected tom the motion of the track and that is what good music is all about. ”
“This track took thirty or forty seconds to truly hook me in and once it did I was leaning in and invested the rest of the way. I was intrigued enough early on to stay with it so I’m not saying the opening isn’t strong, just that the emotion truly landed for me a bit deeper in. The video feels right for the mood and emotion of the track. ”
“Sydney Riley packs in both passion and attitude in this track. The delivery hints at a campiness, but the sound never begins to feel overtly theatrical, simply deliberate. A track that calls on the supernatural vibes only nature can provide in setting mood and intent, this song is hard to pin down genre-wise as it offers a rock edge, a folk sensibility, and a pop energy to wind feeling like vintage Joan Jett blended with the softer side of Stevie Nicks.”
“David Rasmussen and The Companions team on this heartfelt single that lands square in the feels department. ‘Lost Or Gone’ is the type of song that speaks directly to the center of your soul.
The performance is timeless and pure, and is impossible not to feel if you truly take the time to listen and appreciate the emotions laid bare in the most genuine and honest way.”
“There is a definite throwback vibe to the build here, but Apache Grosse and Ajani Jones team up to bring ‘Bad In Threes’ to life.
The cadence and lyrical build sync perfectly with the beat to form a groove that is is easy to ride with. The slow groove deeper in comes at just the right time to make the listener lean in even further and connect.”
“Shelby Carter delivers the West Coast vibes on this Electro Pop track with a performance that is sensual and alluring. Carter’s talent invites the listener in and makes it oh so difficult to look away. The vibe is sexy and dangerous and that combination along with the talent makes this anything but the ‘Worst Way,’ to spend your time. Carter has verve and attitude and the it factor so keep an ear on this rising artist.”
