MEUTE - Rej (Âme) [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Had you told me I’d be intrigued by a German Techno marching band, I would have been dubious to say the least, but this epic track sparkles from start to finish and given it’s nearly seven minutes long, that is saying something.

A little of the marching band vibe carries through, but this is a dance number plane and simple. A dance number that takes endurance and stamina, but the beat is infectious and the groove outstanding so I encourage everyone to march out of their comfort zone, and give this live recording a go.”

Venessa Michaels ft Leslyn & Outlaw The Artist - Spell On Me [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“In contradiction to the fun pop vibe that bubbles on the surface, this track brings an underlying darkness in both the message and video. a darkness that taps into a truth, because unfortunately, what you see isn’t what you truly get in this world — not with people, products, or the motivations behind them. This single and video do a great job of exposing that fact in a fun entertaining way.”
