Tyler Shamy - Pills [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“There are lots of songs about battling depression, but few if any nail the struggle as well as this track.
’Pills’ brings an up and down energy, an array of emotion, and an engaging narrative that feels real and entertaining without sacrificing emotion or impact. Style wise this is Commercial Pop with a hard beat and an Electro Pop melody over soulful vocal delivery, ”

LOST - Twentysomething [Review]
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. ”

Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“That beat though …
This track is about musical euphoria. Perfectly capturing emotion and laying it down in studio.

VIVIE ANN - Loverboy [Review]
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]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Okay, I will ‘Admit It,’ MIDLO delivers a pop triumph in this single.

Running Lights - Into U [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“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 - The Grave [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“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. ”
Jodi Guthro - Everyone Loves Me, But You [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5
“The unique sound hits you first, and given the fact Sidhant Seth is a unique talent with a variety of vocal skills and talents, that is to be expected.
There is a reoccurring shift in the melody that originally threatened to shake me out of the groove, but after a number of listens, I found myself enjoying the change in sound more and more.”
