Alex Marzejon - Songs About Girls [Music Review]

December 22, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

Rating: 4 out of 5

“From Jolene to Roxanne, and of course California Girls in general there are plenty of songs about feminine charm and their effect on those who know them. This track is a bit of an ode to all of them. Delivered in an emotive singer/songwriter style reminiscent of Ed Sheeran, but Alex Marzejon stand on his own talent and delivery style giving him a unique and talented voice in the musical landscape. ”

    DEVADO - The sad song (Give it up) [Music Video Review]

    December 10, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Life always presents those problems that have no easy answer. And sometimes we want or desire something that is unattainable or nearly impossible and either way how we respond and battle is key to where we go from there. DEVADO performs this track with heartfelt precision and grace and in the vocals there is a thread of hope and understanding that will no doubt comfort others stuck in the same brand emotional situation.”

      Liv Hanna - Buried Alive [Music Video Review]

      December 10, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Liv Hanna possess the kind of powerful and emotive vocals that hook the listener from the very first note. The emotion here is palpable and the lyrical build is emotionally tight making the track a tight grip on the mind and soul. ‘Buried Alive’ is the kind of writing that will no doubt mean different things to different people but our various life experiences tend to lead us to view and hear art in different ways and this track is definitely artfully performed. ”

        Stephen Flickner - Spark Up [Music Review]

        December 10, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Adult Contemporary, Commercial

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “Stephen Flickner drops this track about finding your spark of life when that one you desire is coming over. The track has a nice vibe and energy and I was left wanting more which is a good thing though I think the track could have taken the emotions and story a bit further with an added verse here. That said, the hook stayed in my head long after each listen and overall this is a track I get get down to more than once which is what I look for in the songs I cultivate for my playlists. ”

          Goshok - On My Mind [Music Review]

          December 10, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “This track is a Commercial leaning EDM single with elements of various Electronic genres as well as some Pop sensibilities. Goshok is a rising star and the Indie artist hopes to be come the first Czech artist to grace the mainstage at the largest music festivals int he world and with songs like ‘On My Mind’ it is easy to believe he will achieve those dreams sooner rather than later. ”

            Tea Janee - I Don't Wanna Talk About It [Music Video Review]

            December 06, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Pop, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Few things in this world are straightforward, but Tea Janee is advocating for one thing to be that way ... And that one thing is sex.

            This song is sultry in a Pop kind of way with it directness and teasing tone. Like Britney meshed with Arianna Grande this is a pure Pop lust-filled track with just a bit of Bubblegum to the delivery style. The vocal talent and tone of the track stays light but the intent is purely carnal.”

              April Jai - Not Like The Movies [Music Review]

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “True love is one of the toughest things to find and can feel like an impossible fairytale at times. Books, movies, and well-meaning friends offer all kinds of advice and theories but there are no rules to love and this track captures that feeling with perfection.

              April Jai describes her song ‘Not Like The Movies’ as ... the confused hopeless romantic single girl anthem you need to scream in the car with all of your friends ... and that description is dead on accurate.”

                JackKane - Something More - [Music Review]

                November 26, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Jack Kane toes the line between genres with his track ‘Something More.’ The songwriting is strong and the performance emotive so that makes it tempting to call this a coffeehouse singer/songwriter type of track, but the melody has an energy and edge that feels closer to Springsteen in nature and then there are the subtle Americana vibes that the entire package puts off.

                Call the song what you will, but make sure to add it to your playlists and feel the emotion for yourself. You will indeed feel something more. More than most music manages to convey and that is a very good thing. ”

                  “Nicky Youre drops this pure Pop diamond with its sparkling hook and energetic melody. We’ve all done things in the pursuit of love and admiration from a crush that we swore we wouldn’t and usually those acts don’t help us land their affection but hey, you gotta take your shot. This track is all about that and sometimes we get surprised. The video is lighthearted and adds to the emotions of the song.”

                      “The vocal prowess draws the listener in from the start, before the heavy bass line and build comes in to add another dimension to this track and truly set it off. The first beat drop launches the track forward and sets the hook. VAVO and Clara Mae utilize their talents in tandem to create ‘Take ME Home’ and the result is fantastic.”

                              “An energetic Electro Pop track with strong Commercial vibes, ‘Clean Break’ is a track that pays homage to Roxette, Ace of Base and the sound of decades past, while still having a fresh contemporary Pop feel as well. ILIRA has the energy and vocal chops to hook the listener and there is that extra spirit and energy to truly make the track stand out from the fray.

                              Raised in a small Swiss town by Kosovo-Albanian parents, ILIRA struggled to find her place in an environment with clashing cultures. Citing a wide set of musical influences from Nirvana to Rihanna as her first major muses, ILIRA developed a rebellious middle- finger-wagging attitude at a very young age, shaping her into the artist that she is today. ILIRA began cutting her teeth on the live stage in various talent shows on Albanian and Swiss TV, all the while writing songs to beats she had purchased online and posting clips of these songs to Instagram. Flash forward to a move to Berlin, Sony Music Germany snap ILIRA up and she begins penning catchy pop tracks in LA and London. She reached #1 on the German Airplay Charts with her hit collaboration “FADING.” ILIRA rounded of the year with upbeat cuts such as EXTRA FR!ES and PAY ME BACK!, and is currently in the studio honing her debut album.”

                                “The world is full of break up songs but few artists can command the emotional resonance that GAYLE delivers. ‘ALEX’ is real and genuine and feels like the stream of consciousness we all go through when making such decisions. The song has a fun light edge despite the heavy subject matter. It feels a whole lot like a conversation with a friend about relationships and in that familiarity is a comfort that is pure artistry. ”

                                  Alle The Dreamer - Lonely Hallucinations [Music Review]

                                  “A track for the daydreamer in all of us. Life has a way of slipping by faster than we’d like, and this song takes on that dynamic as well as our own aspirations and dreams of what we wish everyday life was compared to what it is.

                                  A dreamscape Pop vibe permeates with a touch of Lorde and Billie Eilish in the overall vocal sound and style. That said, Alle The Dreamer certainly brings a unique tone and delivery that stands our from those artists as well as the fray.”

                                    “Estella Dawn has the kind of sultry and inviting vocal style that is timeless and easy to fall all the way in on right from the start. This track has a slow build but it comes with an intriguing build that holds the listener close. Lyrically, the track holds surprises and there is nuance to dig in on that will keep you coming back time and time again. ‘Winners’ is a vibe that grips you hard. ”

                                      Whethan - Fall Out Girl [Music Review]

                                      “A collaboration between 23-year-old electronic DJ and producer, Whethan and Florida-based rapper, Zai1k, “Fall Out Girl,” is a high-energy, feel-good track that comes alive right from the start.

                                      ’Zai and I linked up in Miami and made a bunch of cool ideas. ‘Fall Out Girl’ was inspired by the Miami lifestyle and is a perfect sunny drive with the top back, a pop hit to blast til’ the neighbors knock.’ -Whethan

                                      The combination of artistic talents here works well and every element adds to the listener’s engagement of the track. ”

                                        Pink Leather Jackets - Sixteen Forties [Music Review]

                                        “Growing up in a small town, or in the boring, far flung regions of suburbia can be a challenge as a teenager desperate to escae and experience real world excitement. This track is about that desperate need to escape and carries some nostalgia for the years of life when that is the most important problem you face. A Pop Punk heavier on the Punk side gives this track a nice edge and energy and is a track you can song along with alone or with friends. Simply a fun track. ”
