“Anjulie is a Canadian singer/songwriter and performer that possesses the power to hook her listeners and keep them invested in whatever she is singing. ‘Big Bad World’ is a slow building Electro Pop track with lyrical power tp go along with the wide ranging and talented vocals. The comfort of the performance stands in contrast to assertions that the world is at war and a scary place. The juxtaposition makes for engaging art. ”
“This just might be my favorite pandemic inspired song. A Punk anthem capsulizing the angst, hope, and longing of Covid inspired loneliness, ‘Are We Gonna Hang Out?” from New York rocker, Dan Miraldi delivers an edge and rawness that sweeps the listener up and along with the track’s progression.
There is a bit of Punk roots to the sound, but still a nice Commercial driven quality that makes this track transcend any one genre and feel like a true rock and Roll banger and a song for the times.”
“I like the fact this otherwise light and airy Pop track takes on a complex personal issue such as body image. Rachel Bochner captures the anxiety and fear that summer time and swimsuit season brings on for a lot of people. Her vocal tone is engaging and the writing pointed, without ever slipping into a heavy handed kind of message.
This is a nice entertaining track, with something vital to say. ”
“Get ready because this is a track that will pop out at you. Maddie Ross’s new single is pop star with a vengeance. She gives you cute but reassures you she is feisty and nothing to play with it.”
“Ross will tour in support of the Touch Hands, Touch Bodies EP beginning October 16, supporting KT Tunstall. Tunstall came across Ross’s music during a Twitter exchange, and immediately reached out via direct message to invite her on the 22-city North American tour. Tour dates can be found on Ross’s website.”
“We are transitioning out of a difficult time for all of us and people are restless and sick of isolation. ‘Boring,’ from Confetti, takes those stuck feelings of being trapped and our desires to venture out and find some excitement and fun and turns them into a fun track. The song delivers a poppish, almost Reggae vibe at times that gives this track an chantlike feel to its hook and makes it feel like a true anthem for the times.”
“Lyrically, this track is simply dazzling while also being dazzlingly simple.
The honest, straight forward approach to the writing is refreshing and the vocal tone is light and airy in a Pop kind of way, even as the lyrics have a bit of darkness or at least sarcastic wit. The juxtaposition makes the track all the the more interesting and makes me want to listen over and over again to pick up on every last nuance.”
“Hunter Falls new single “Pain” defines that no one is perfect. Over deep piano keys he express the emotional pain he is feeling. Some people like to use pain and hurt to escape emotion but he doesn’t want to choose that route. The collective chorus is an example or revolution and clarity. ”
“Do you feel like vibin to a great beat full of energy? Shun and Emarie newest single “Make A Move” will have you moving and dancing. Whether you take a road trip or enjoy a night out the easy-going electro/latin/dance-pop song is sure to give you a positive feeling. ”
“The ragged edge of emotion is the trademark of this track from indy. ‘Okay,’ teeters at the precipice for the duration and every so often the rage and angst bursts forth. It is those moments that hold this track together and make it truly stand out.
The verses are delivered in a measured, almost controlled way, devoid of emotion, much the same way many of us go through life until something hits and it all explodes. This track puts that dynamic in musical form with the single walking that Commercial/ Alternative edge in its sound.”
“Despite the title “Reckless” is a peaceful melody with lyrics of pain and hurt. The theatrical visual shows Madison Beer traveling through dreams as she tells the story of how someone was reckless with her heart leaving her through a spiral of emotions. The overall visual reminds you of the movie Peter Pan and how Tinkerbell would feel if her heart was broken.”
Sometimes you lay in the bed and just pause on life. You think of everything that is going on around you. Ricci Paolo new single "On The Run" is about forgetting. He can't smoke enough or drink enough to escape his thoughts. Alone in a house he feels stuck and ready to run away from it all. The flow is an emotional yet stern mood over a cinematic production.
“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.”
