Ice Meez - My Moment [Music Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Ice Meez knows how to sell the emotion and feeling of his well-written lyrics and once again delivers an impactful song for our listening pleasure.

’My Moment’ is a track that delivers truth and hope, without ignoring the difficult realties of this world we all face. The song has grit and genuine emotion, and Meez’s flow is delivered with an emotive power. The chorus adds a smooth groove that breaks that up perfectly to give the track a nice balance.”

Zachary Aldana - Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You)

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“This Christmas track has a retro vibe arrangement wise, but is pure contemporary in the lyrical build.

A fun, easy to sing along track with a do-wap type vibe. There is a hint of humor in Zachary Aldana’s delivery, as well as the lyrical vibe.

’Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You)’ is a holiday breakup song of not letting the past wear your down. ”

Alexion - 3AM In October [Music Review]

Rating: 3 out of 5

“This track was an enigma for me. I loved the smooth groove and rhythm of the track, both musically and vocally, when it is going, but some of the breaks and pauses shook me. Lyrically, I was the same. There are great lines that forced me to lean all the way in, and then a few times the writing moved out from under me and left me confused. Then the trak abruptly ended.

Overall, a solid track that kept me on my toes so to speak, though I would like to see more consistency and a tidier ending.”

Alfie Sharp - All Or Nothing [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“If Rock and Roll Gospel were a genre, this track just might be its benchmark song. Alfie Sharp delivers vocal talent and an undeniable energy to the performance, but the track also boast provocative lyrics that will both entertain and make you stop and think at the same time.

If ‘All Or Nothing’ is the choice, this track certainly gives its all.”

Amanda Holley- RIDE OR DIE (Shotgun) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“It is always good to come across a song that has a classic RnB sound. Ride or Die is about being by your partner’s side through it all. Ride or Die is the original concept to passenger princess but with more meaning to it. The diverse dance approach takes me back to the Brittney Spears and Christina Aguilera era with a twist of Ciara. The song is cute, smooth, with a little pop. ”

The smooth sway of the guitar jamming out. This is a feel good song. A song to start any morning off set the mood for a good day. This is a smash. Billboard style hit.”

“This is one snazzy, jazz tune. Mellifluous vocals. Trumpet inserts dancing freely in and out of the track. Both artist vocals accenting the other. This song gives 90s coffee shop scenes. Very intimate and vocally enchanting. I would love to hear more from them.”

Andre Bugatti - Yachty [Review]

Rating: 3 out of 5

“The way the organ/electric piano sets up the listener fro the smooth vocals of Andre really set the tone. Falsetto vocals delivered both clean and crisp. Vocals dancing on top of the chill production as the artist swags out over the beat. This is a jam. Something you could definitely play and just ride the town to.”

Concept -Run To [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The XScape “Who Can I Run To” reference automatically puts the listener in a state of recollection. Who says r&b is dead. 90s style hook and composition. Smooth, well delivered vocals. Well written arrangements and harmonies. This song is a vibe. ”

Andrea Clute - Nervous [Music Video Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Andrea Clute drops this emotionally vulnerable and honest track about getting ‘Nervous’ in the presence of a crush or new romantic interest. The soft Pop style vocals work well and feel genuine. This is a straightforward track that most of us can relate to at some point in our lives. I like the way the track builds and you can almost hear an escalating heartbeat in the rhythm of the music. ”

Ben Alexander x Arya - Rush [Music Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Electro R&B anyone?

Okay, so that isn’t exactly an official genre, but if it was ‘Rush’ from Ben alexander and Arya would top the charts right now. With a smooth, almost early 90s synth vibe, and a classic R&B vocal groove the track blends not only genres, but eras of music and still somehow feels contemporary and fresh in doing so. ”

Mathilde Widding - Stronger [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Mathilde Widding brings a vocal style that falls between ZZ Ward and Amy Winehouse so fans of either are likely to appreciate this engaging track.

’Stronger’ brings a soulful groove with a decided edge and tantalizing vocals that engage from the very start. Widding is a talent that will only continue to build and grow her powerful delivery so keep an ear on this rising star.”

Broadway B - Left Right [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“An every man anthem, ‘Left Right’ is about marching along to the demands of responsibility and adulthood. The track offers soaring vocals and an almost gospel like R& B soul that hits like the truth and hope at the same time.

Broadway B is passionate and the vocals sweep the listener up and along while the words make you want to shout AMEN! Not in a religious way, but in life -style.”

Jay Kayze - Over Love [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“People change and the best ones grow and learn from their past mistakes. This track is about being that new person and reflecting on a prior relationship. My only critique is that I wanted more and the song was over far too soon.

Blending a Hip-Hop vibe and a smooth R& B type groove the talent shines and pulls in the listener quickly and easily. ”

LEWIS FITZGERALD - SHORT RIDE (ft. WEWANTWRAITHS) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Lewis Fitzgerald is a twenty-one year old rising star. The UK singer/songwriter is joined here by WEWANTWRAITHS and the video has the two of them cruising through the streets of London as they delivery a track we can all relate to.

Life is indeed a ‘Short Ride,’ and sadly can be even far shorter than we plan, so this is a song to help remind us to live each day to our fullest.

Fitzgerald weighs in on the track saying ... ‘This song represents some of my childhood and things I went through, I had suicidal thoughts and attempts when I was younger and it’s kind of like my way of releasing that pain now through this sound, remembering how it was and how I thought at the time, it’s like me saying it to myself.’

Despite the heavy inspiration of the track, the single never feels overwrought, and it can simply be enjoyed as a smooth groove and entertaining song to brighten your world. ”
