“Dance Pop magic! That is what Netherland band, TalkSick has given us with ‘2 Complicated.’ This is the tough to pull off dance track that works as perfectly well riding alone in your car, or out on the dance floor. You can truly feel this one, or you can simply get lost int he beat and rhythm depending where your head is at the moment. ”
“You often hear stories and songs about how going off to college is the beginning of the end for high school loves, but people tend to look at those relationships as more crushes and cases of puppy love than anything else. This track takes the dynamic of a college relationship and how it is tested when both parties go back home for the summer. Sung with a tender vulnerability and delicate beauty the track captures what it feels like as we grow up emotionally. ”
“Impersonator is a person who pretends to be someone else. Katy for Kings new single “Impersonator” shows her in three different scenarios of life. She explains that she is who she is and cannot replace anyone else. Men often depict an image and try to compare but in this visual Katy is clear she cannot impersonate her”
“The realization you don’t need that toxic person in your life is truly liberating and Jake Scott has put that revelation into song form here on ‘Anymore.’
The track has a nice soft build and a singer/songwriter vibe that is easy to connect with and fall in on the lyrical progression.”
“We’ve all been told that time heals all wounds, but some cuts are too deep to ever truly “get over.” April Jai drops this deeply personal track that takes the emotion of being hurt, and makes us feel it, and rethink how such trauma changes who we are.
The track is beautifully performed and the melody adds to the well-written words and while the song is sad, there is a tinge of hope as well. Sometimes, the knowledge that those who are struggling, are not doing so alone, is enough to ease the burned upon our shoulders. That’s what good art can do for us all. ”
“Sultry and seductive, Rallie unfurls ‘Too Good’ in tantalizing fashion. The track has the sexual energy of a classic Prince song and the devilish spirit of good girls gone bad.
A fun listen with enough of a Pop style production to give it a glossy Commercial vibe. This feels like a 2021 Summer hit in the waiting. ”
“Margo comes in vocally strong and direct over a heavy bass. The new single “Too Much” is a fierce yet dark pop track that talks about the voices in your head. When you look in the mirror you tend to battle with yourself. The battle of the mind is a strong force that tends to be “Too Much” ”
“Some tracks and artists are all about the attitude. Charmaine is such an artist and ‘DOUBLE DUTCH’ such a song. With a repetitive hook and strong in your face verses, the track unfolds like a challenge, or at least a declaration that Charmaine ain’t up for any bullshit.
This is one of those singles that sneaks inside your brain and turns into an earworm, but the experience is entertaining and that’s what counts most. ”
“Tyra Jutai knows how to tell a story, and tell it well. Here that story comes in the form of an Electro Pop Murder Ballad and beyond the strong storytelling and sultry emotive delivery is an eerie delivery that conjured strong thoughts of Amy Winehouse for me.
The track is bold and in your face both musically and visually with the delightfully sinister imagery of the video.”
“Love this track, though the video did leave me feeling a bit woozy so truthfully I will enjoy this one more without the wonky imagery. The straightforward lyrical build and message works well with Barrios’ emotive and passionate delivery, and the musical arrangement works well to impart an energetic attitude to bring it all home.
All in all, a fun Punk pop track that I will be adding to a few playlists.”
“Striking a balance between Commercial engagement, and an emotive singer/songwriter vibe is a tricky thing to pull off and yet, Jonah Kagen has managed to do just that with ‘Broken.’ Giving the world a relatable and emotional track that still feels like an epic listen the world wants to add to multiple playlists and play over and over again is no easy feat.
This track is like John Mayer meets Mumford & Son.”
“Riley Michaels offers up a classic sound that is perfect for those nights when you are sitting and drinking alone, or equally for ones where you pull the one you love close and slow dance across the warped wood of a dive bar or the smooth tile of your kitchen floor.
’Someone Like You’ is simply a classic sound that defies both genre and decade.”
“KINGS comes with a vocal performance that hooks the listener immediately. ‘ur a good bye’ is shiny Pop gold, but that is not to say the emotion of the writing doesn’t emote through in the performance or writing. This is a big bold sound that wraps around you and makes you want to move and shout HELL YEAH! at the affirmations, because we’ve all had those good, goodbyes. ”
“I’m not my father I won’t run away.”
”Kuttem Reese delivers hard core bars with a hard core beat in his new single “All 10” ft Chief Keef. Chief Keef has always been a classic artist in the rap game and to see him go hard on this single supports that. Kuttem Reese is coming strong on “All 10.”
“Coffee and conversations. When you have no one to talk to you find yourself talking to a coffee cup. Osei The Seventh new single ‘Cafe Deluxe’ has a unique yet cute tempo to it. It allows you to release your mind and open up to whatever is going on.”
“ When your’e searching for love and just want to “Fall Again” there’s a bust of different emotions. Grayson Ty’s new single is about opening his heart again.The arrangement is a smooth ballad that takes a chance on love. ”
The Western Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter has mastered the art of vulnerability. Entirely unpretentious, his stage presence is easy, genuine, and unguarded. In an era of so much disconnection and artifice, Grayson brings audiences together with his honest, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful, soothing voice.
Grayson’s impeccable songwriting brings out the best of his full range, from R&B crooning and folk-inspired storytelling to masterful pop riffs and earnest lyrics. He believes deeply in the
connective power of music, working as a music therapist by day, and collaborating as co-writer with other songwriters.
“Self described as a ‘Banger for Haters,’ emlyn is Back On Her Bullshit, or ‘B.O.M.B’ if you will. And the result is pure Electro Pop glory as she lays down a pissed off energy and emotional vibe for the engaging track.
Big bold vocals and an attitude that permeates every word and line are the fuse for this musical explosion.”
“Vancouver’s favorite sister duo, Fionn is ready for summer with this energetic track about finding your own happiness and joy in the world despite all of the toxicity that surrounds us.
’Hold Off’ is a perfect dance number for the club, or for simply tossing your head back and smiling your way through the day with a bit of kinetic energy pushing you along.”
“Joel Ansett deliver the smooth vulnerable vocals and emotional vibes that define the singer/songwriter genre on his latest track, ‘Expectations.’ We have all wrestled with our expectations, and this track does an exemplary job of putting that struggle into a tangle song that is easy to fall in on and lose yourself in thought. ”
“This track offers a nice Latin Pop vibe in conjunction with a Rap flow and the two mesh and blend well to bring out the flavor of the track. ‘Love Is The Answer] comes with a nice hook and energy straight away and in that it is easy to lose the world around you and fall into the track. Nice tune to add to any summer vibes playlist. ”
