Caroline Romano - Panic Attack [Review]

January 28, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Pop, Commercial, Bedroom

Rating: 4 out of 5

“At only 20 years of age, Caroline Romano delivers a strong sense of emotional wisdom that permeates from her every performance. ‘Panic Attack’ is a slow building emotionally charge track that comes with the strong personal sense of a Taylor Swift Song and the strong vulnerability of Pink all with a unique edge that makes Romano her own star.”

      PENNY - Outside [Music Video Review]

      January 26, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “The silky rich vocal textures guide the way on this trek ‘Outside.’ PENNY offers a smooth performance that pulls the listener along as the lyrics take us for a trip. The beat and backing is lowkey but adds depth the emotional performance and writing of the track.

      This is a quiet song in that there is no true rising crescendo and dramatic build but the emotions are true and genuine and the mood is well set. ”

        Olivia Wik - Let's Dance [Review]

        January 22, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Sex and music fit together like ... Well, I better not run with that simile but let’s simply say that sometimes its fun to fall in on a song that celebrates our primal urges.

        ’Let’s Dance’ from Olivia Wik basks in the euphoria and glow of that charged sexual energy of lust and love, making this track the perfect addition to that playlist you have been curating for the occasion. Listen to the track, feel the infectious rhythm and spirit, then share it with your favorite dance partner.”

          Madisyn Gifford - Except For You [Music Video Review]

          January 21, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Sometimes we love the idea of someone or something more than the actual person or thing. Madisyn Gifford drops this track about moving on from a relationship while missing not the person but all the external variables that made up their surrounding while together. The vocal delivery is honest and borders on vulnerability mixed with regret. Lyrically the track is almost a stream of conscious vibe that we all do when contemplating how things used to be. ”

            Haiden - Can't Hurt Me [Review]

            January 21, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “A classic Pop sound and arrangement brings out this track about modern day cheating. Haiden is quick to say ‘Can’t Hurt Me,’ but that title is a bit of a misnomer as the lyrical build is all about being hurt and scared and feeling that relationship slipping away. With a side dish of sticking your hand in the sand, to avoid feeling the torture of emotional pain.”

              Jack Kane - Come To Terms [Review]

              January 21, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Jack Kane expresses vulnerability in his slow and tender delivery of ‘Come to Terms.’ The emotion is tangible in every line and the build carries the listener forward as we feel every word. We’ve all had to come to terms with some bit of grief be it from a loss of life or loss of relationship. Emerging on the other side of dark times is a process, but this is the kind of song that can ease the pain and let us know we are not alone.”

                Marian Hill (featuring GASHI) - little bit [Music Video Review]

                January 19, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Running into an ex is always a bit awkward, and this track from Marian Hill explores that set of emotions. The arrangement is intriguing and not at all predictable. I did crave more tempo a few times, but this was a track that kept me leaning in for the duration and I felt the emotion of the writing come through in the performances.

                A unique build that somehow brings out the uncomfortable sensation of running into that person that once meant everything to you.”

                  Vezza - Won't Apologize (feat. Carly Moffa) [Review]

                  “Vezza teams up with American Idol alum Carly Moffa on this track about sacrificing your comfort in pursuit of chasing your dreams. With a bold commercial sound, ‘Won’t Apologize’ is almost an open letter to those you left back in your hometown to explain why you left and why its not a bad thing even though it does come with a certain level of uncertainty and anxiety. ”

Much like the rush of any addiction, it is hard to turn away from and that is exactly what the lyrics here are about. Be it drugs, love, or simply the thrill of a the beat on the dance floor this track is about chasing that vibe and feeling. A clean production and talented delivery brings it all home.”

                              “For a lot of people the 80s were the height of Pop music and this tack from Arlo Boe pays homage to the glorious synth sounds of that era. There is a Flashdance and Footloose feel to this track and it certainly would be right at home alongside those soundtracks but there is still a contemporary edge that lifts this one above being merely a tribute to musical glories of decades past. ”

Anja Kotar knows this and sings about the odd struggle in a fun and expressive way on ‘Fun For You.’ Both the song and video are pure Pop energy that entertains all the way through.”

                                  Ryan Riback - (Just Can't) Hate U (feat. Dotter) [Review]

                                  “Australian producer, Ryan Riback pushes all the right buttons in giving us this single. ‘(Just Can’t) Hate U’ features the vocals talent of Dotter and the pairing of talent brings the song out to its fullest.

                                  We’ve all had that person we should hate, but just can’t seem to find that particular emotion so we turn to them far more times that we should. This song is about such a dilemma and the odd mix of feelings that comes with it.”

                                    Michelle Ray - Tattoo [Review]

                                    “Michelle Ray leaves her mark, just as a ‘Tattoo’ does but Ray does it with a powerful voice and the emotive delivery not many artists are capable of. Big and bold this single has the same vibe you get from Pink, or Adele or other truly expressive vocalists.

                                    Don’t sleep on this single, because Michelle Ray is a clear star in the making, and this is your chance to buy in early and help spread the word. ”

                                      Ian Oshér - Never Alone [Review]

                                      “Light and upbeat, ‘Never Alone’ from Ian Oshér is one of those songs that grabs you in immediately and refuses to let you go. The LA artists rides a nice calm wave to deliver the track. There is a subtle energy and spark without the track resorting to gimmicks or over production. The simple, straightforward lyrics and arrangement work quite well. ”

                                        Taska Black x Dasha - Going Nowhere [Review]

                                        “Taska Black teams up with Dash on this engaging track. “Going Nowhere’ is a pledge and a promise to stay loyal and true no matter what life throws up as a roadblock.

                                        The build is engaging and the progression soft and vulnerable while also also fiercely determined in its tone. The mood of the track perfectly matches the tone of the writing and the build sweeps the listener along with little effort. ”
