“Is the idea of a perfect romance and relationship real, or more of mythological utopia that lives on in ‘The Hypothetical’ daydreams of our brain? That is the question Caroline Romano unleashes with this high energy almost demanding track.
The lyrical hooks and razor edged melody slice through the psyche on this track making it an attitude and vibe as much as a commentary on how we fantasize our relationships going.”
“Kiera Selbe began writing he lyrics of ‘I’ at thirteen, before she really knew what love would feel like. Flash forward and the now 16 year old talent has a bit more life experience to draw on which enabled her to complete the song and bring it to life. Her emotive talent, both in the writing and the performance, stands out from start to finish making Selbe a name to watch as she grows even more and blossom into the full out star that she is destined to become with such rare talent. ”
“Jackson+Sellers reminds me of Lucinda Williams both in sound and attitude. That take no shit, take no prisoners vibe rises to the top of this jaded, yet righteous track.
’Waste Your Time’ is an ode to whatever brand of idiocy you’ve dealt with, though most people will apply the sentiments towards a bad relationship. The rowdy edge to this track brings it to life and makes the pointed commentary land hard right on the chin of the time wasters of this world. ”
“April Jai has created a track that is the perfect response to that ex who comes sniffing around trying to hook back up. A smooth easy groove with one foot in in a Retro R&B groove and the other in contemporary Pop. The result is an Adult Contemporary singer/songwriter type of track with emotional depth and meaning for everyone that has had to navigate the past and present at the same time.”
“Straight out of the Swedish countryside, longtime friends Nea and SHY Martin wrote ‘No Regrets’ after working together for years as songwriters writing for others. This time they decided to keep the summer smash for themselves and the passion and emotional connection shines through in this Pop delight.
The airy build and progression makes it a fun and uplifting track and you will have no regrets adding the single to your own playlists.”
“Summer is all about energy and good times, and American Authors have brought in Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray fame to join them on this acoustic ode to kicking back and taking it ‘Nice and Easy.’
This track toes the line between Rock and Folksy sentiments, but never dips or lags in its unfailing energy and passion. Join in the party and sunshine days by adding add this single to your summer playlists.”
“Loi has the kind of vocal talent that instantly grabs hold of you and demands your undivided attention. Couple that with the fact Loi’s single, ‘Melody,’ delivers the kind of lyrical build that makes you stop what you are doing and listen to every word, a nd the song is mesmerizing in every way.
Described by others as the German Adele, Loi is a talented 18 year old with all the attributes and talent to be the next big thing. Her sounds falls somewhere between Adele and Pink and offers a big bold emotiveness with a bit of Pop magic sprinkled in. ”
“Featuring the vocal talent of Bobby John, Muro delivers the single ‘With You.’ The track has a Chainsmokers kind of feel though with just a hint of 80’s vibes backing it all. The progression is energetic and uplifting and carried the listener forward or propels them out to the dancefloor. The build is hard not to connect and fall in as lose yourself in this track’s build. ”
“Cutting out the negative and toxic from your life is not an easy task, but a necessary one we all face at some point. This track is all about doing so, and what worked well for me on this piece was the light, almost sing-song anthem. The rhythm that gives this single an uplifting and positive vibe absolutely shines, even as the trash is being carried out and dumped.
Ali Schwartz delivers both passion and a wry brand of humor and that made me smile all the way through this song. ”
“Nick Sanza delivers the passion of a singer/songwriter laying his emotions out bare. There are comparisons to be made to Ed Sheeran in writing style, but ‘Breadcrumbs’ feels a bit more Commercial with a Electronic vibe to the overall production and sound.
The track follows a regretful lover reflecting on the past as he is reminded of what was and what could have been by the everyday things around him.”
“Dezi’s dramatic yet dark new single “Sinner” brings anticipation and seduction. Surrounded by things that are either good or bad for you she sings about how her sins are what makes her happy. From a dramatic beat to a slow motion toward the two mark this is a track that will have you engaged in fantasy. ”
“Rock and Roll ain’t dead!
Woodward brings some retro vibes with this contemporary Indie Rock track, but they do so without making the single feel dated in anyway.
’What I’m In Need Of’ is a hard-charged single that conjures forth bands like Foreigner, Van Halen, and Motley Crue, however, Woodward has their own modern spin and brand of sound. No fan of true rock and roll will be disappointed by this one.”
“The tradition of ‘California Dreaming’ is a long one for many musicians and artists, and this track from Beat The System adds to that collection. A fun and light Pop track, this single takes you for a daydreaming ride about sunny skies and glitzy times in the Golden State. The track simply feels like a stroll in the warm sunshine so come along to enjoy the West Coast vibes.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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.”
“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.”
