“Love is meant to be a two way streetm though sadly not every relationship finds such balance. JESSIA unleashes an emotional Pop track about carrying the burden of a relationship by giving far more of yourself than the other person is willing. ‘Moved Around You’ has a haunting vulnerability that keeps the listener tethered to the emotions and perhaps reflecting on their own situation.”
“PEPTALK teams up with Chloe Parché to get ‘Good With Goodbye.’ The Indie Pop track is about saying see you later to that toxic relationship and that person who treats you like garbage.
From the outside such situation are usually clear but when mired in the history and emotions of such a relationship it takes a moment of strength and clarity and this track artfully highlights such an awakening. ”
“Dripping with nostalgia, this track tells an emotional story of thinking you have more time. Emily James sets the stage of ‘Suburbia’ with young love and the false notion created by naivety that said love will be eternal with nothing but good times ahead.
Reality hits us all at some point but this song also offers hope of redemption and frankly could be taken a number of ways depending on your own experiences and mindset. Which is always the case for truly great art. This is an artfully delivered story song and video that will have relevance for anytne with a beating heart.”
“The Pop world is full of sultry Divas unleashing their sexuality on the musical landscape. Jaydi Zavala joins the fray with ‘Complicated.’
This Alt Pop track leans in to the primal urges in both sound and lyrical content. The performance is spot on and the vibe lands with dizzying effect.”
“Danny Bowens takes us on a Pop Punk ride with ‘Crying On the Dance Floor.’ The track ahs a dark lyrical edge that is the perfect juxtaposition for the light bouncy tempo and musical vibe. The two sides are at odds inthe same way we all tend to smile and say everything is fine even as our world is shattering.”
“The need to fix someone is often disguised by obsession of the dark and mysterious. Tessa Dalton’s track ‘Dark & Pretty’ is about that obsession and all that can come with it if you dive in without considering all that could be lurking there in the shadows. This Alt Pop sing/songwriter vibe is alive with emotion and turmoil. ”
“An alternative Pop track that leans intot he Pop Punk vibe, ‘Girl who HATES me,’ is MIA CEFALO’s latest single. The track comes with an energetic build and tone and at times the added harder edge of the melody adds tot he intensity. A fun lyrical ride that will pump you up. ”
“An Alternative Rock ode to bad timing and missed opportunities, ‘A Day Late,’ is about that friend zone crush you can’t quite stop thinking about the what-ifs.
Anberlin delivers a sound that would have been right at home in the 90s, but still feels relevant and Contemporary today because that is what timeless talent will do for a band. ”
“This track is an anthem that builds and rises and is perfect for cranking the volume and belting out loud. ‘Forget July’ from the band Out In Front is about breaking free after being mired in something that once upon a time meant everything to you. But no longer feels like a piece you need. ”
“LA is a long way from Iluka’s home of Sydney Australia but this talented artist has found her place here in California. Sadly her neighborhood in Altadena was recently decimated by the spate of fires. This track diving into themes of resistance, strength, and solidarity while she navigates the current state of the world. Her vocals are razor sharp and cut your emotionally with skilled precision in this Alt Pop track.”
“Mark your calendars now to catch Johnny Manchild and the poor Bastards at the Roxy on March 27th. The sunset Strip will be alive for this Oklahoma City band to perform ‘Already Over’ as well as a catalogue of other great tracks.
The band is genre defying as they blend Rock and Jazz in to an Emo brand of Alternative Rock.”
“Walter The Producer has a unique vocal tone that quickly goes from surprising to engaging in its honest earnest delivery. ‘Tell Me again’ is a track with an undeniable energy and provocation that keeps you leaning in and listening for what comes next. The Indie Rock vibe delivers a timeless kind of sound that simply feels like a good honest music.”
“No one likes to be overlooked and underestimated especially when chasing their dreams. ASHY (pronounced ‘Ahh-She’) is an effervescent pop artist & songwriter hailing from Aotearoa, New Zealand and here on this track, she faces down her doubters with sultry confidence.”
“When submitting this song for consideration, Slow Joy wrote ... “When I was 14 I was an emo kid, Now I’m emotional man.”
This sums up the track ‘Gruesome’ quite well. Emo Rock had a moment in the 90s and a song like this could very well usher in a new era for the genre.”
“Meridia hails from the UK and draws inspiration from bands such as King Gizard & the Lizard Wizard and Alice in Chains.
’A New Man’ is a track about not getting in your own way and letting your emotions derail you. The track is pore Rock and in some ways comes with a style and sound that harkens back to the 90s. That said the band has a Contemporary or rather timeless edge that simply works. ”
“Kylie Rothfield has the rare gift to draw listeners in emotional with one or two words. ‘Temporary’ is a track about the fleeting nature of love and wella ctualy most things in this world. Rothfield delivers the performance with ease though that only happens when an artists has that extra emotive ability to convey their thoughts with a precise earnestness. ”
“Matt Sahadi weaves a tale of lost love and a journey to rekindle the spark in the hauntingly beautiful track, ‘Halfway to Charlotte.’
Love is one of the the few things that can shake us up enough to rush headfirst into the last place you want to go. This song is about that leap of faith and facing your fears to chase after the thing you need the most.
The stripped down feel matches the emotions perfectly and you can feel the rubber meeting the road on this engaging song. ”
“We can all get a bit too wrapped up in our own lives to be the friend or partner we should be. It is important to remind yourself that there is a big beautiful world beyond the myriad of stuff swirling inside our heads. And admitting we are not the center of the universe can certainly put things in their proper place.
Daniel Arison wrote this track after a friend called me out on ‘Selfish’ behavior and he had the time to digest the accusations. The talent and energy he utilizes in creating and performing the track just might make you take a closer look at yourself. And if not, well you’ll at least be entertained for a few minutes. ”
“Few things spawn as many songs as newfound love and Sitting on Saturn teams up with G. Love to unleash their take on this set of emotions. ‘Rose Colored Glasses’ is all about the way a new crush can make everything in the world seem better.
This track brings an Indie Rock energy with a little bit of a Pop edge. Another fun track for your playlists dedicated to love.”
“Jelly Crystal and nicole Saboune team up on this Pop infused Country ode to the beautiful fragility of life and the anxiety we all fear of our impermanence. The vocals are loving and tender and this track will no doubt be shared among loving couples as a stand in for their love and fear that forever simply isn’t long enough.”
