LOST - Twentysomething [Review]

November 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The best songs are the ones you can listen to over and over again. The ones where you find subtle new meanings even years after you first hear it. ‘Twentysomething’ has that sort of vibe as it is nuanced and layered, both in the construct of the the beat and melody, but also in the songwriting and vocal delivery. The piece starts slow before revving up the energy level and throughout the lyrics are engaging and thought-provoking. ”

    “Confetti is back with a high-energy track of braggadocios confidence.

    Guaranteed to get you moving, this is a single that is perfect for the club, or when rolling around the block with the window down and your hair blowing in the breeze. ”

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “That beat though …

        This track is about musical euphoria. Perfectly capturing emotion and laying it down in studio.

        Call it a modern Zippity-Doo-Dah where the sun is shining warm and gentle on your face, and the birds are whistling to the exact song playing in your heart. ”

          VIVIE ANN - Loverboy [Review]

          November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “A kick ass vocal edge slices through convention on this track detailing the lustful pursuit of our heroine on the prowl for the right ‘Loverboy’ to quell her needs.

          This is a track that turns the usual trope on its head and explores sexual roles in these modern times. The track has a James Bond vibe, but this time the debonair fellow is powerless next to the femme fatale.”

            MIDLO - Admit It [Review]

            November 21, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Lyric Video, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Okay, I will ‘Admit It,’ MIDLO delivers a pop triumph in this single. It begins with a muffled sound almost as if it were recorded underwater, but that dynamic is brief and then the track explodes and the vocals take on a variety of styles to deliver an emotional set of lyrics detailing the frustration of being toyed with in a relationship. ”

              “Calm, quiet, and reflective are the predominant features of ‘Side Effects.’

              With the flair of a modern Paul Simon, Owen Danoff offers a single here that sneaks up on you and surprises with its genuine emotion.”

                “This is a fun Pop track made all the better for its entertaining video.

                Most of us guys have fallen prey to the charms of a crush and attempted to mold ourselves into what we think they want, but the tactic never leads to a good place and this is as amusing and energetic of a cautionary tale as you are likely to ever find.”

                  “Kate Vogel has one of those rare voices that can make you truly feel the emotion of the lyrics without relying on vocal tricks. Raw and natural her performance on ‘The Grave’ details the grief of an unexpected loss in haunting beauty. Call it Singer/Songwriter, Americana or simply Commercial music if you will but labels are unimportant when an artist can draw you in and immerse you in the feelings this well. ”

                                “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.”

                                    “Sultry and forbidden, Yonee drops a smooth flow detailing the ‘Bad’ things he wants to do with the one he desires. Lyrically this one sets a mood and transports you to a emotional place and time.”

                                      “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. ”
