ELLROD - Concept [Review]

June 11, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The terms ‘fun’ and ‘revolution’ are rarely used in tandem, but both words are apt monikers for this single.

Melodically and performance-wise, ‘Concept’ rides a fun beat and groove, while lyrically it is well-written call to arms. ”

    LP - Shaken [Review]

    June 10, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “Touching and meaningful are the first two adjectives that came to mine while I listened to LP’s single ‘Shaken.’ With a sound that made me think a bit of Elle King, the single is soulful and funky and incredibly well-written.

    No doubt other critics and reviewers will get into the social dynamics of this song, but I will save such discussion for them. For me good music falls into at least one of the three categories — emotional, entertaining, or creatively inspiring. The best of music is all three and ‘Shaken” has landed in that sweet spot.”

      RAINNE - Dirty Little Dream [Review]

      June 10, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “‘Dirty Little Dream’ unfolds lyrically like vintage Prince. However, with a hard-driving bass beat and sultry vocals, the single layers in a modern pop vibe before adding a jazz groove to this sexy single.

      This is three minutes of a dream that definitely delivers a climax.”

            “So clean and smooth, this perfectly produced duet feels like a hit from the first listen.

            At the risk of ticking off the Beliebers, let me be the first to say, Dion Todd is the best Canadian Pop import on the airwaves.”

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “Emotional vocals and great songwriting make for great starting pieces toward the creation of something great. Add a smooth melody to the puzzle that fits perfectly and you are left with pure art.

              ’Piece By Piece” has assembled all of these pieces, as well as the intangible “IT” factor that makes you reach and turn up the volume when certain songs come on. There are no pieces missing to this instant classic. ”

                  “Honest and raw. Philippa gives us not an anti love song, but rather a song about the yearning sadness that seeing and hearing others in love can bring on after a heartbreak.

                  ’Before Goodbye’ is a beautifully performed testament to the lasting power love gone bad has over us all at times.”

                      Offering punk like vocals and a pop melody this is a single that delivers far more than a fun groove and commercial sound.

                          “Riding pure pop vibes, ‘Back To Us’ modernizes an 80s sound that at times feels like vintage Michael Jackson. But while his influences are clear, Grayson Ty’s talent stands out without relying too heavily on nostalgia.

                          This single is all about the emotion of trying to get back to that sweet spot in a relationship once it has hit the rocks.”

                                “Damian Lynn has given us a single that hooks you with an immediate urgency. And yet, the track also makes you ‘Wait’ just as the title suggests.

                                The melody does a masterful job of playing off the emotion of the lyrics and that pleading bridge arrives at the perfect time to add to the strong feelings of this one. ”

                                    “The heartbreak is so palpable in this raw emotional single that to steal a line from the lyrics. you can feel every drop of our our narrator ‘bleeding out.’

                                    Real genuine emotion beats at the heart of Bay’s delivery in this finely written song about trying to move on after picking up the shards.”

                                      “It is amazing how a well-written song can emotionally sum things up, and this pop tune certainly does that.

                                      The title of the single does the job of setting the stage, but give these alluring vocals and wryly, smart lyrics a listen and you will be hard pressed, not to join in by the second chorus.”

                                        “Instrumentals face the uphill battle of stirring emotion without words. Steve James has done exactly that with ‘Fall For You.’

                                        While the title makes it clear what the song is about, it is through the melody that we feel the racing of hearts, the fear, the insecurity, and the unabashed joy that falling in love brings to us. ”
