    Violet LaVelle - Skeletons (feat. Daisha McBride) [Review]

    October 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Conscious, Hip-Hop

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “A fun pop track calling out those exes who think they can come rattling their bones back around.

    ’Skeletons’ truly catches fire about :45 in and never backs off bringing the heat from that point.”

      Chaz Mazzota - Better [Review]

      October 14, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Chaz Mazzota delivers the smooth pop single, ‘Better,’ which is a track that hits all the right notes for commercial success. His vocal talent certainly takes what feels like an okay song lyrically, and makes it better.”

        Inbar Starr - Used To Know You Better [Music Video Review]

        October 11, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Contemporary R&B, Commercial

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Inbar Starr has a unique vocal tone that grabs you from the very start, but this track offers so much more. Solid songwriting and an easy infectious groove makes ‘Used To Know You Better’ one of those songs that instantly feels familiar. One of those songs you can’t help but sing to yourself long after the last note has faded.

        The catchy chorus and a memorable melody stick with you in all the best ways. The video is a perfect compliment.”

          Caro - Just One Night [Review]

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “What happens when that one night stand lingers in your mind far beyond the following morning?

          Caro delivers a song behind those very emotions and she does so with a pop glory that brings both commercial appeal and genuine feelings that strike a chord for the fragility of human emotions.”

            Sophie Gray - Bye Bye [Review]

            October 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Given the genre of ‘Bye Bye,’ and the fact Sophie Gray is a burgeoning 15 yo pop starlet, there will no doubt be comparisons to Taylor Swift. However, that line is a tough one for me to draw.

            Gray brings a heaver, songwriter vibe to this commercial mix and that somehow layers in an additional bit of emotion that transcends beyond youthful energy, to wise, world observer.”

              Reece - Last Time [Review]

              October 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “With a voice that instantly captivates, Reece hooks the listener before the lyrical content has a chance to settle. But ‘Last Time’ is far more than a performance piece showcasing vocal talent.

              The single has depth, and meaning. In this case, those emotions just happen to be brought forth in delicate fashion, by a brilliant performance.”

                “Caroline Kole has an unreal talent, so it is hard to imagine her ‘Freaking Out!’ but then again we’ve all been there.

                Delivering a near perfect pop performance, Kole unleashes a single that is highly relatable in lyrical content, and entertaining in style.”

                  “Intricate and emotional writing are the hallmark of this song, but that is not to downplay the performance ... which is perfect in the delivery of such a single.

                  Trinity Rose might be “Coughing Up Flowers’ in the name of love, but her immersive singer/songwriter style has certainly created a delectable bouquet this time around.”

                                    Salute The Sun- All To You [Review]

                                    “Dope sound. Has a real party vibe. Smooth vocal tone.”
                                    — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

                                    Bristol four-piece Salute The Sun return with the almighty 'All To You'. Their first single in three years, the track is a groovy sun-soaked number, dripping in soulful melodies and vibrato synths. Just as the days start getting shorter and the weather turns colder, ‘All To You’ is a song defiant against the changing seasons. Singer and songwriter Rob Aros's soulful vocals are paired with bubbling basslines and warped synth patterns, giving the track a luminescent, discotheque vibe. “This track was an unexpected delight for us as a band. We’d been tinkering with the demo for over a year, and having just moved in to a house together we finally decided to just get it finished" guitarist Matt Townsend explains. "Rob knuckled down: creating an exhilarating chorus hook, tightening up the production and adding some funky guitar licks to help drive the verse. Suddenly we realised we had a banger on our hands. This was the most excited that writing a song had made us since the very first track we wrote together! We’ve been waiting for the right time to release this song and that time is now.” Formed in 2014, Rob, Matt, bassist Toby Williams and drummer Sam Williams met on their first day at the University of Bristol and bonded over their shared love for an array of genre-defying artists. Best known for their energetic live shows, Salute The Sun have an incredible talent for producing punchy anthems over flowing with heart and soul. Receiving early support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Salute The Sun draw on the soulful grooves of Toro y Moi and funk tones of Earth, Wind & Fire to form their own musical trajectory.

                                      “Kensington Moore is redefining the definition of addict with this smooth pop groove. A nice hypnotic melody and tone delivers this single that will have you singing along after only a few verses.”

                                        “A glorious pop anthem for the dysfunctional relationship. Modern love can be a trap when it’s not right, and this single does a great job of showcasing those emotions in an entertaining, harmonic groove.”
