Gillian Heidi - Moonlight [Review]

November 27, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Gillian Heidi possesses that rare gift to immediately pull you into whatever she is singing. This warm, emotive quality of her voice will serve the 16 year old artist well on the coming years, but already she is proving to be a true emotional force within the industry.

’Moonlight’ sheds light on the fact that this star will not be dimming anytime soon. ”

    dezabel - Tell Ya [Review]

    November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Coming with a bit of nostalgia in the writing, this is an Electro Pop ode to the memories we all have. Those bits of ourselves that linger long past the innocence of youth and the awkward uncertainty we fell in the presence of those we were and are attracted to.”

      Dawson Gamble - What You Don't Know [Review]

      November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Some songs win you over simply by feeling real and genuine. Dawson Gamble’s latest, ‘What You Don’t Know’ is one of them.

      Starting out soft and vulnerable, the well-written lyrics hook you with their authenticity before the track insiifies and layers in a bit more of a Rock/Pop sound to go with the early singer/songwriter vibe. Though in truth, genre is less important than the erstwhile emotions on a track like this.”

        Tony Sergi - Your Heart Has To Go [Review]

        November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Tony Sergi comes in with a nice groove, and Pop kind of sound that takes a quick hard left turn that surprises and hooks you in. Pulling no punches, this energetic groove is one that will have you dancing and wryly smiling.

        But perhaps Tony describes it best ... ‘Your Heart Has To Go’ is pretty much a happy break up
        song, a middle finger to all the past lovers that screwed you around. An anthem for all those who have been fucked over. ~ Tony ”

          .wavrunner - uh huh, i like it [Review]

          November 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Rap

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Who is ready for some energetic Disco infused Club music? ‘Uh Huh, I like It’ from .wavrunner brings a Rap flow, but feels more like a mash of 70s Disco funk and West Coast Club music than anything else. The groove is magical and the spirit a vibe all of its own. Get on board and get moving with this track.”

            TROY - Undercover [Review]

            November 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Electro Pop, Funk, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Love on the sly brings that extra little bit of excitement and this ubeat track from TROY certainly captures that spark and secretive allure with its own tone and vibe.

            ’Undercover’ leans more Commercial Pop, but does deliver just a hint of a Funk groove that works well. No doubt this is a track that will be shared between covert lovers, but no matter who you are, you can appreciate the passion and energy. ”

              Jillian Rossi - So What [Review]

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “A big bold Pop ballad for every person that has ever felt unworthy of that good, spectacular, or hopeful thing that came their way.

              Often, we are each our own worse critics, and we need a different voice to remind us we are worthy or capable, or deserving. Jillian Rossi offers that here in musical form, so if you are feeling any kind of self-doubt, put this track on and remind yourself that you are indeed worthy of everything that comes your way.”

                Hrishi - Like A Ghost [Music Video Review]

                Rating: 5 out of 5

                “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. ”

                  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”

                      “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.”

                            “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.”

                                Timothy Ray - Dancing In The Kitchen [Review]

                                “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. ”

                                      Conor Michael Smith - With You In Mind [Review]

                                      “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.”
