JUJ - Pieces [Review]

November 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Insomnia is an ugly thing, but this track beautifully captures the feelings of hope and desperation that it brings out in its sufferers.

Big bold vocals with a pop gospel kind of feel delivers the lyrics over the top of a melody that soars in all the right places.”

    KARLI - Running For My Life [Review]

    November 10, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Lyric Video, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “KARLI’s vocals perfectly capture the Pop sound, and the lyrics of ‘Running For My Life’ do a great job of showcasing her ability to emote and parlay emotion, into a variety of vocal sounds.”

      Greyson Chance - Boots [Music Video Review]

      November 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “A hard hitting beat, and cocky vocals kick this off before it settles into more of a pop groove.

      Greyson Chance is an intriguing artist that I plan to keep an eye on.”

        Brooke Sierra - Voices [Review]

        November 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Brooke Sierra is a talented vocalist and that element shines brightest on ‘Voices,’ though the songwriting is also very strong as well.

        A nice, smooth commercial groove goes along with the Electro Pop vibe musically, creating a mainstream single as vibrant as any out there.”

          “The soul of Gospel. The look of Rock. The attitude of a pop diva.

          This track incorporates it all, and distills it down to a single — smooth as top shelf whiskey.”

              Me an Di - Hiatus [Review]

              November 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Future Bass

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “Born in LA rush hour traffic, ‘Hiatus’ is an high energy pop single about that moment in a relationship where it is either time to break free and breath on your own, or double down and commit.

              The track is lively with a dance energy and infectious vocals.

              For those near LA the single release show will be November 8th at 10 pm at Hotel Cafe.”

                Dylan Rockoff - Bad Haircut [Music Video Review]

                “Dylan Rockoff brings a little of that Bruno funk flavor in this fun ode to the fickle nature of both love, and haircuts.

                Then again a ‘Bad Haircut’ can ruin far more than your day so maybe this is actually a serious song. Nah, because luckily bad haircuts don’t last forever even if the photographic evidence does. ”

                    “This is a track that was a slow emotional build for me. The accompanying video is outstanding and helps connect the lyrics to an imagery and vision.

                    The sound is modern and commercial but not pop exactly, this makes the track hard to categorize, but no matter how you describe the music, the adjectives intelligent and emotional should be used.”

                      “Bold vocals, that remind of Winehouse, and a melody that is both modern and darkly retro, drive this track. Lyrically the single might not offer as much as some other songs, but the magic of the performance is that it doesn’t need to be, in order to evoke a strong emotional reaction. ”

                                  DAVVN - Are You Still Watching? [Review]

                                  October 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

                                  “Netflix and Chill gets all the glory, but who hasn’t found themselves in Netflix and Still ... As in in ‘Are You Still Watching?’

                                  Binge watching is one thing, but sometimes that act of solitary streaming is one of loneliness and it is in those times that the innocent question feels like a judgement.

                                  DAVVN has taken the emotions of those times, and given us an pop-minded anthem for how it feels when streaming entertainment is your only companion.”

                                    “An alluring vocal tone and a steady beat give ‘1,000 Cuts’ an edge that slices straight and true.

                                    Electro Pop done right. Can’t wait to hear more from Nadia Vaeh.”

                                      “A beautiful performance built around a liar.

                                      Deceit is a lethal act to the emotions and this track is razor sharp in slicing through the aftermath while bringing a Florence & The Machine kind of vibe.”

                                        Evie Irie - "The Optimist" [Music Video Review]

                                        “Packing complex emotions and themes into her writing, Evie Irie’s songwriting is far beyond her actual age. Actually, her songwriting shines for a any age so that comment is unfair to say. Though it is a fact that she is only sixteen, so be aware of this rising star, because the vocals are just as intriguing as the writing.

                                        The video is well down as well and helps bring ‘The Optimist’ to life.”
