R3HAB x INNA - Rock My Body [Music Video Review]

April 30, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial, EDM, Dance, Pop

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“R3HAb and INNA team up to put a new unique spin on Sash!’s iconic 90s hit ‘Ecuador.’ The build and beat are the same, though the vocals and lyrical build make this feel like a completely different song.

’Rock My Body’ is a high energy Dance Pop track with one foot in the past and one solidly here in the present. No the track isn’t reinventing anything, but it is highly danceable and a groove you will fall in on quickly.”

    Vicetone - Dopamine Junkie (feat. Ben Samama) [Music Review]

    April 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, EDM, Dance

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “We all have a bit of ‘Dopamine Junkie’ in us, because we are all chasing those good feelings. This track about the gratifying high of discovering that perfect song that speaks to out heart and soul.

    The production here is clean, and while the build is fairly subdued for the genre, the track does indeed take the listener on a ride. The vocals are in perfect balance with the beat and build making this a well rounded track that is easy to connect with. ”

      OnSake x Maia Malancus - Badass Girl [Music Review]

      April 19, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Pop

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “OnSake, in conjuntion with Maia Malancus traverses the line between pop and a pure EDM sound. I hear some ZZ Ward type blues lurking in the vocal tone, and the attitude drips both in the performance and the writing. ‘Badass Girl’ could be a breakup anthem or a self affirming reminder of your power and worth.

      The track did drop off for me a bit on the backend and I was left craving more of that early verve, but still a single with merit.”

        Ryan Winston x Leslie Ann Miller - Wierd Love [Music Review]

        March 31, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Ryan Winston creates a track that certainly reminded me of Calvin Harris though ‘Wierd Love’ does not feel derivative and the vocal talent of Leslie Ann Miller sells the emotion in a way that the track hooks from the very first verse.

        This is the kind of track that reveals new nuance and emotion with each listen. A track perfect for a number of playlists and moods. ”

          Morgan Lane - All In My Head (feat. Bailey Jehl) [Music Review]

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Heartaches and breakups might be the most written about subject matter so it it is tough to stand out with those themes and yet, Morgan Lane in conjunction with the vocal talent of Bailey Jehl manages just that. ‘All In MY Head’ is about the disorienting feeling of seeing your former partner move on quickly and completely leaving you to wonder of what you felt was ... All in your head. ”

            VAVO - Waitin' On It [Music Review]

            March 10, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Deep House, Dance, EDM

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “VAVO has exploded recently so if they have been ‘Waitin’ In It,’ they don’t have to wait any longer. Coming on the heels of their smash hit, ‘Take Me Home,’ the duo is currently sitting on top of charts and the Dance Pop world.

            This track has a slightly subdued feel that is the perfect follow and shows a bit of diversity that will help carry them a long way to longevity. ”

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “GRAMMY winner RITON returns with an energetic dancefloor banger that samples 50 Cents ‘Candy Shop’ and offers the vocal talents of rising Rap star Soaky Siren. The beat is infectious and the ‘Sugar’ oh so sweet on this EDM/Hip-Hop blending vibe.

              A track sure to get listeners moving and singing along by the first chorus, no matter how you want to categorize this genre being single.”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “This track from Nekter Gun starts low key before building into a dynamic and powerful EDM track. The lyrical build is emotional and engaging and the production behind it matches the vibe making this a well rounded track you can move to and dig in deep on at the same time. Detailing the emotions of finally calling it quits on an an again/off again relationship, the track rings genuine and true. ”

                  ZUSO - Take Me (Feat Jaki Nelson) [Music Review]

                  Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                  “Sydney based producer, ZUSO teams up with the vocal talent of LA’s Jaki Nelson for this after hours vibe that wraps around the listener like a firm hug. A track that simply feels right and comfortable, ‘Take Me’ is sort of tranquil and calm, yet still uplifting.

                  The production is spot on and the vocals sync perfectly to create the exact track you need after a long night of being on the dancefloor.

                  Call it a coming down song if you will but don’t dismiss this one as an afterthought, as it certainly has strong legs of its own.”

                      The single is melodic and grounded in a progressive root style that p[airs well alongside the strong vocals and nuanced build. ‘Stay A Little Longer’ has that big stage feel and euphoria you will find in the electricity of a big festival crowd. ”

Sure, the vibe is chill for the genre, but the track is engaging at the same time, and while the track isn’t the high energy club banger that dominates the gerne, it is certainly engaging and enthralling. The strong vocals and production make it an impossible track to ignore both physically and emotionally. ”

                          “Hell & High Water” typically means do whatever needs to be done, no matter the circumstances. Steam Phunk and Idun Nicoline face the fact of leaving. When others do what makes them happy you have to do what makes you happy. Despite the lyrical heartbreak the song has an upbeat tempo to it. When you are tired of trying you have to come to the reality of leaving no matter what.”

                              “Bad Taste and Farmboy Slim team to deliver this fun, prickly ride. There are retro vibes of the Beastie Boys and a bit of techno Fatboy Slim Funk vibes as well, but the track really has that eccentric feel that is tough to pin down.

                              The LA brothers created the track after a psychedelic experience in the desert and you can tell in the best ways that it came from a freethinking mindset. A fun track with a twist and sharp pointed poke at every turn. Get ready to move and smile and reflect a bit as well.”

                                “Originally from Sweden, but now making music from Switzerland, Doppe & Kokke team up with Justin Erinn on ‘Glad To Be Alive.” This EDM track starts on the dark side but takes on an energetic and uplifting tone to bring out positive vibes and a immersive beat t pull the listener in and along for the ride. A track that will both get you moving and thinking. ”

                                  “Coming with energy and an engaging hook, ‘Really Love You’ is the kind of track that sweeps you up and in and erases the crazy world we live in for a few minutes.

                                  Shiah Maisel teams up with Afrojack to bring this EDM song to life. Give it a listen and let the vibes wash over you as you fall in to the musical build and forget about everyday life for three minutes and twenty seconds.”

                                    The energy and uplifting vibes are exactly what you would expect from this trio of gifted artists and the track is one that sweeps you up and in almost immediately. Big bold sounds and an engaging build are the trademarks of the song and the production brings everything home to create an engaging single.”

                                      Becky HIll x Galantis - Run [Music Video Review]

                                      “Becky Hill is a phenomenal talent, and her latest single ‘Run’ is another triumph for this talent Brit. Teaming up with Swedish group Galantis, this big bold offering is an epic conversation about how we run from love after being hurt a few times. The uplifting nature of the melody and build lends the track an almost motivational quality and serves as a reminder to us all that there is power in the vulnerability of keeping our hearts open to the idea of love. ”

                                        “This track tells a story, not only in the emotional and passionate lyrics, but also in a well crafted video.

                                        ’Easy’ dives into the dysfunctional rules of love and broken hearts. The fact it is easy to blame the other person when the one you loves strays.

                                        The song is nuanced and real, just as modern love tends to be, and the ride is emotional and genuine. Combining EDM with a Contemporary R&B brand of delivery, the single takes a few surprising turns in its arrangement and video presentation, but holds the listener throughout.”
