WYATT - hurt u this much [Review]

July 23, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“WYATT drops this brutally honest track. Sometimes a persona does not have bad intentions, but simply is prone to succumbing to bad decisions and it is their weaknesses that lead them to hurt those they love. ‘hurt u this much’ is an ode to such poor decision making and the impact it has on others. The track comes with a decided Pop vibe and is easy to fall in and and connect.”

    Steven Ryan - Burns Like Fire [Review]

    July 23, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “With a good bit of passionate gravel in his tone, Steven Ryan belts out ‘Burns Like Fire.’ The track has a retro rock vibe at times, but when he slips into that higher register the single delivers more of a contemporary vibe. Overall the sound is a good mix of new and old.

    The writing break down the over the top passion of new love when emotion burns hot and the slow burn of being apart from the one you love singes the soul until you can quench it by once again falling in each others arms. ”

      Paul Oakenfold - I'm In Love ft. Aloe Blacc [Review]

      July 20, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Commercial, Contemporary R&B

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Paul Oakenfold and Aloe Blacc. What could possibly go wring with such a talented pairing?

      Absolutely nothing judging by the first single to be released from Oakenfold’ upcoming album.

      ’I’m In Love’ is the first taste from the album to be titled, Shine On, and shine it does with rich textures and a smooth build and progression that epitomes the dance music sound to perfection.

      This might be the first time you are hearing the track, but it won’t be the last. Add it to your playlist early and tap in on the infectious sound whenever you like.”

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Pop the cork on this track and you will be sipping on the tasty sounds of Yayvo. ‘Champagne’ offers a bit of sweet bubbly for the soul with its smooth groove and easy flow.

        The hook is easy to dial in and song along with and the verses offer enough to connect it all and keep you savoring the sound long after the bottle is first opened. So raise your glass as you add this track to you playlists and expect others to toast your fine ear for being one of the first to discover great new music. ”

          Connor Kauffman - Hate You For A Lifetime [Review]

          July 17, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Lyric Video, Commercial, Alternative

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Nineteen year old Connor Kauffman is a self-taught and self-produced artists that is far ahead of the curve in comparison to his peers. This track is well-written and has an infectious hook that will have you singling along long after the last note. The lyric video makes it easy to stay tethered in and connected to the flow of the words.

          The musical and lyrical build are perfectly balanced and created and Kauffman’s emotive delivery adds to the grip this track has over the listener. This track is radio ready and feels like an anthem we will all be quoting and singing for years to come. ”

            Rich Robbins - It's Not Your Fault [Review]

            July 16, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “This track truly finds it heart around the :40 second mark, but the writing and passionate delivery of the flow make it engaging right from the start.

            Rich Robbins takes on toxic masculinity with this well-written song. The creativity and shifting sounds does conjure up comparisons to Tyler the Creator, but the groove of this track adds a musical vibe that not many track manage to pull off.”

              Jaime Deraz x Bad Boyfriend - In & Out [Review]

              July 16, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Commercial, Electro Pop, Music Videos

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Subtly sexy and wryly witty lyrics are behind the build of ‘In & Out,’ which has nothing to do with your burger cravings and everything to do with being blinded by lust.

              Jaime Deraz delivers tantalizing vocals in this confessional appraoch to admitting to being interested in her lover only when the two of them are out of their clothes. This is a fun Electro Pop track with a mesmerizing hook and taunting progression.”

                “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. ”

                  Dan Miraldi - Are We Gonna Hang Out? [Review]

                  “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. ”

                        “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.”

                          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.

                            “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. ”

                                indy. - okay [Review]

                                “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. ”
