“A twist sound between a boyband and Justine Bieber. Hrishi’s new single ‘Like A Ghost’ is about being surrounded by people but still feeling invisible. The visual is a unique illustration of moments in life using different imagery to stand for feelings and connections. The song is smooth, direct and straight to the point explaining that you can love everyone and still feel like a ghost. ”
“Otis Kane is Soul!!!!
His new single ‘Fight For You’ begins with a passive tone. His tone leads us into him explaining the roller coaster called love. Love is a battle but the ups and downs is what makes love so strong. As he pours his vocals into the song the solo guitar performance leads us into the ending”
“Sometimes life is like like a game. We try our best to play regardless of the consequences. Patrik Jean’s new single ‘Consequence’ puts his life in a blueprint. He sings about being hurt and wanting to love but being reminded how much he hates starting over. The visual artistry shows how life can’t always be packed in boxed and sometimes great things break.”
“Losing the one you love is never easy, and sometimes they are gone before you even know it. That is what ‘Fast Little Getaway’ is about.
ELEON delivers the early vocals with a smooth R&B groove infused with a bit of Electro Pop stylings, before Mayila comes in with an emotional apology of sorts that lends a different point of view on the pain of heartbreak.”
“Olivia Deane delivers a nice soulful, yet appropriately melancholic vibe with this Holiday track about missing that special someone at Christmas time.
’Christmas Without You’ captures the emotion and sadness of missing the one you love and often those feeling are all the more acute as the Holidays set in.”
“Labeled as so-called nasty women in certain political circles, the strong and fiercely independent ladies of this world have something to say and damn it, they refuse to be silenced. CHEL is among the proud, the brave, the bold — and on this Soulful Pop track, she makes her ‘Nasty Woman’ proclamations in loud, talented tones that draw a line in the sand for anyone looking for a fight.”
“Having to let the one you love go, not because the love has faded or endured some great betrayal, but rather simply because life and outside circumstances have gotten in the way, is a bitter pill to swallow. That longing brand of emotional pain emits from every verse of Beth De Bacci’s single ‘Loved Like This.’ A tender Pop ballad about doing the right thing — even when it hurts so bad.”
“Sometimes my initial reaction as a reviewer is simply ... WOW! That was the case here and that was before I dove into the bio to discover the artists I was listening to, Angelina Jordan is a mere 14 years old.
The power and depth of talent is stunning at any age, and yes, I was reminded of Adele as I listened, but I dislike such comparisons because while they form a starting point, they can easily define or pigeonhole a new artist and to that is a disservice. So with that in mind let me say ... Angelina Jordan is a star in her own right and ‘Million Miles’ is a big bold track that sweeps you up.
Of course Jordan is no stranger to stardom, as the winner of Norway’s Got Talent at only 8-years-old. Now calling Los Angeles home this young artist certainly does have a ‘Million Miles’ in front of her.”
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A sweet tender love song, not about the euphoria of falling in love, but rather the slow steady burn of a growing love. This track was written as a 10th Anniversary gift from Timothy Ray to his wife.
’Dancing In The Kitchen’ captures the devotion and understanding that only comes with time and that bond of sharing everyday life. And this is a track that couples can certainly join hands and dance together in the kitchen.”
“Here is your chance to catch a rising star and tell your friends you were listening way back when.
Rosie Darling has that rare ability to bring vocal power and keep the tender and emotional edge so that you feel every word even more than you appreciate the big incredible talent. This track merely hints at even more vocal capabilities, but you certainly come away understanding they are in there. More importantly, you come away feeling every last word of this track about the discovery your own emotional capabilities. ”
“Otto may look young but his talent is everlasting. His debut single ‘Tell Me Something’ gives an antique feel while his love is seen overshadowing him. He admires her and how she makes him smile. Otto adds to the production with a hand clap within a classic beat. ”
“There are a lot of pissed-off angry voices out there and everyone of them brings merit, though Conor Michael Smith brings a passion and ernest that unexpectedly hits harder than most.
The emotions of the production behind him, especially that violin along with a hard hitting flow, really gripped me. Smith is part of a movement in this country that is demang change and this track is one of the anthems for that charge.”
“Ella Collier offers a darker and more sinister spin of the fairytale with her version of ‘Cinderella.’
Coming with a Trap beat and Pop style vocals, Collier unfurls her take on the timeless tale with an alluring seduction that feels part Circus Ringmaster and part sexy siren as she lures you to lean in and listen to every last word.”
“Coming with that wavy tranquil West Coast vibe, JUICYPEAR drops this soulful Pop track on us reminding of the power music has over all of our lives.
’Caught Up’ is about those moments you are swept away to another time or place or mood by the music filling your ears. This track brings that power, as well as the observation making it complete the circle of engagement for me as a listener.”
“Love is hard enough when both parties are fully invested, but sadly many relationships are lopsided in their dedication and resolve. Being stuck in such a situation where the the one you’re committed to only wants to dip their toes in, makes you hope they will one day jump in and swim.
The tough emotional journey of coming to the conclusion you are treading water alone is never easy. GREYA does a masterful job of expressing those emotions in ‘Thrive’ a track about finding your courage and resolve in the face of a one-sided relationship. Powerful vocals and well-established Pop sensibilities carries this track forward and hold the listener for the duration.”
“The beat leads the way through this ‘Maze’ from VALDIS. The track has a nice Pop Funk vibe, and the vocal tone is the perfect accompaniment to the hard bass.
Lyrically, the track is about having to turn around and start over again and again, and this is track is simply one you will want to play over and over again so there is a bit of synchronicity in that fact. ”
“London songwriter and producer Stark, teams up with Soul singer Kestra on this track which jumps right in and grabs hold with both fists.
If Adele and Amy Winehouse were fused into one explosive performance, ‘Darken My Door’ is what I imagine that track would sound like. Big and bold and so full of talent, this is a track that demands your attention.”
“LOVA offers this track up to all the ‘Lonely Ones.’ The shy, the timid, the ones who simply get caught in the shadows for whatever reason.
The track speaks from the heart with tender and emotional vocals to anyone that has ever felt left out and left behind while the world rushes about around them. This song feels genuine as it speaks of the emotions involved with being one of those who want to be visible, but for whatever reason just don’t quite know how.”
“Having the confidence to know who you are, and not letting another person swoop in and try to change you in ways that defy your essence, is a tough thing at times. Especially if you truly have feelings for that person.
’I Will’ is a true Pop ode to that very thing. HAYL is confident and bold in her approach to saying I will not sacrifice who I am, for someone else’s ideas of who they want me to be.”
“Get up and start dancing. Audriix’s new single ‘Deep Breaths’ has a paced yet up beat sound to it. The electro pop artist explains how its time to manifest reality. She isn’t the one to settle down or give in. She chooses to express herself and not calm down. ”
