Capital Cities - F*k It [Music Review]

July 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop
“Capital Cities unleashes a glorious synthfest to say ‘Fuck It.’ This is the kind of track that will worm its way in and stick inside your head long after the next song has come one. This Electro Pop track really is self-explanatory and all about just living your life the way you want without worry of everything going on around you.”

    Karhys - Peace of Mind [Music Review]

    July 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Alternative, Pop
    “Let me introduce you to ... Karhys — a Maltese-Italian singer, songwriter, and producer.

    Her latest offering is a light and breezy Pop track. ‘Peace of Mind’ feels like Summer and the smooth groove is perfect to move to drink in hand beside the pool or under the lights.”

      RJ Pasin - XO (with Sophie Powers) [Music Video Review]

      May 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Alternative
      “Plenty of music claims to be a fusion but in the case of RJ Pasin and Sophia Powers new track, ‘XO,’ the term is one-hundred percent accurate. Metal Core Pop? Electro Pop Punk?

      It doesn’t really matter how you label this in your face ode to cutting through the noise of societal pressures and delivery your truth, because you will feel it deep in your soul.”

        Chloe Star - TNT [Music Video Review]

        May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Electro Pop, Alternative, Pop
        “Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.

        ’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”

          Leah Kate - Just Because [Music Review]

          March 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop
          “Leah Kate has already staked her position as one of Pop’s top upcoming stars. ‘Just Because’ will only add to her catalogue of engaging tracks. This Electro Pop track leans on Kate’s vocal talents and the LA native is a name you can expect to hear a lot of as her star continues to rise. ”

            Logan Garrett - Take Me Down (feat. Madeline Edwards)

            March 20, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial, EDM, Country
            “Logan Garrett teams up with Country vocalist Madeline Edwards to create the most unlikely of fusions. EDM and Country are rarely intertwined and enver as successfully as on this track, ‘ Take Me Down.’

            There is a vibe not all that different than than Mumford & Sons though this song relies less on that folksy Rock side and leans into emotional defiance to exhibit the diverse talent.”

              “No one likes to be overlooked and underestimated especially when chasing their dreams. ASHY (pronounced ‘Ahh-She’) is an effervescent pop artist & songwriter hailing from Aotearoa, New Zealand and here on this track, she faces down her doubters with sultry confidence.”

                Joveth - Money Can't Buy Happiness [Music Review]

                February 27, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop
                “Money, money, money is sung about nearly as much as love. ‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’ by Joveth is a new track taking on the subject of wealth and fame.

                The staccato delivery and Pop sensibilities give the song an easy energy, but the message remains one we all need to be reminded of from time to time.”

                  February 01, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial
                  “Jadelyn turned a sandy beach daydream of her own into an engaging Electro Pop track that built from that original idea into a universal sentiment that we can all understand.

                  Love is something most of us inspire to and our minds often race eight steps ahead building a story of happily ever after. ‘Runaway’ is all about those run thoughts we have while daydreaming about our fantasies.”

                          “Featured in the Hulu TV series, Dollface, ‘Talk To Ya’ by artists Elisa Sun has a nice suspenseful beat to instill an edge right from the start.

                          Sun has a Pop edge to her vocal style though this one leans a little dark than most Pop tracks. There is a bit of an an 80s nostalgia to the overall sound though this Electro Pop number is right at home in today’s musical landscape.”

                            “Emeryld wrote ‘Lights Camera Baby’ with Slush Puppy after a messy breakup and even messier relationship.

                            She explains the motivation well. “We were two girls in the same friend group which led to us feeling like local bar celebrities, turning heads and sparking controversy, when in reality, it was just embarrassing and narcissistic to think we were anything serious but a spectacle, mirroring and magnifying each other’s issues.”

                            This track billed by the artist as a ... gay “cry in the club” song, was inspired by the sound today’s top Pop divas. Emeryld can stand proudly among them as she unleashes her truths in a vulnerable yet confidant way that showcases her talents.”

                              I won’t claim this is my favorite track from him, but “Easy’ is a good song. Perhaps a bit glossier than I personally favor, but this London artist is capable of grittier music with a sharper edge as well, and this more Commercial offering will certainly find eager listeners. ”

                                  Super Massive - Caught In A Web [Music Review]

                                  “Super Massive unleashes a high energy summer time track with their latest single, ‘Caught in A Web.’

                                  Wait, what? Summertime? Yep, you read it right. Super Massive is an Aussie based dance/rock band that blends electro, electro-pop, dance-pop, synthpop and EDM and while here in North America we are the cusp of winter they are ready to bask in some summertime fun down in the Southern Hemisphere.

                                  Th track is a throwback of synth glory and a fun romp.”

                                    Luci - Loner [Music Review]

                                    “Luci began her career as a an EDM producer and that influence is clear on this track, though the vocal side certainly has Pop sensibilities.

                                    ’Loner’ is an emotive and vulnerable track in its best moments, though for me the harder drops and production that turned toward a Future Bass/EDM style got in the way of the emotions at times.

                                    For me this track shined the brightest with Luci’s emotive delivery and less production behind it clouding the song. ”

                                      “Lewis Fitzgerald has the vocal chops to do whatever he wants. Here the South London artist utilizes and Afrobeat to back his performance and while the vocals and music are on point, the lyrical build is sparse and just never quite hit that next level for me. I was intrigued by the talent and sound, but slightly let down by the lack of lyrical substance.”

                                        “Written with Mental Health Day in mind, Ananya unleashes this Electro pop ode to taking care of yourself and cutting out the things that drag you down. The Zimbabwean pop star delivers the sharp writing with a steady, almost defiant brand of confidence despite the honest vulnerability of the writing and that combination brings this track to life.”
