“Parris LaVon’s drops an emotional track speaking to, and honoring his mother.
Saying goodbye is tough, and the array of emotions that hit us while trying to do so can be overwhelming. The lyrics here reflect all of that in a way that makes us the listener feel his struggles, hope, love, and sadness.

A fun song start to finish. ”
“A soulful and bluesy track with a nice Hip-Hop flow throughout, Dirt Dolla drops the single ‘Blue Dream,’ which has a bit of holiday nostalgia to it. That is not to say the track doesn’t have a resonance that works well all across the year because the lyrics are strong and the beat infectious.
Hard to pin a genre on this one so we will simply call it good music. ”

“A smooth, easy groove about falling in love with someone you never planned on being part of your life. A relationship others might warn you against, but feels right for you.
The tracks began a little disjointed for me, but once it settles into that R&B rhythm, the single falls into a delightful glide.”
“There is that moment in most relationships where you fear the feelings of attraction and personal attachment. The need of another person is a scary thing and if the person you need sees you in a bad light there is little to do to stop them from being a ‘Runaway.’ This track captures all of this in a smooth, Contemporary R&B style.”

The catchy chorus and a memorable melody stick with you in all the best ways. The video is a perfect compliment.”
