Payson Lewis - Nothing To You [Review]

December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The wrong relationships leaves you depleted and wondering who you truly are. Payson Lewis explores those emotions with tight vocals and a gritty guitar melody on this track and the result is a rocking Pop single more than worthy of your ears.”

    Rallie & Coal - Prom Queen Crown (Acoustic) [Review]

    December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A soft emotional singer/songwriter vibe that delves into the often misguided nostalgia of remembering your high school years. The track brings a nice guitar melody and a delicately pleasing voice.”

      Marrius - Easy Fix [Review]

      December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Indie Electronic

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Marrius drops ‘Easy Fix,’ a track that feels dark and alluring in a modern Noir sort of way.

      The track basically asks ... How far are you willing to go, for what you’re not even supposed to have? ”

        “Kensington Moore serves up a piping hot dish with her single ‘Karma.’

        They say Karma is a bitch and revenge is best served cold, but this track is a steaming dagger to the heart of those who have put themselves in karma’s path. Haunting and beautiful and impactful, this is a track everyone can relate to. ”

            “The songwriting is spot on here ... snappy and emotional and full of Amen! moments for anybody that has been there.

              “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, ”

                  “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. ”

                          “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.”

                                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]

                                  “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. ”

                                    “Letting go is even tougher when only half of the couple is ready to break things off. This is a beautifully sang Pop track about being the one still emotionally tethered to what no longer is.”

                                      Sidhant Seth - Hypnotizing Me [Review]

                                      “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.”

                                        “A sultry and sensuous video accompanies a matching set of lyrics. Performance-wise Jessta James, captures the lust and desire here with a slow Pop groove that hints at Latin influences.”
