“An energetic summer pop ode to falling in love. A beat that will keep you moving while you soak in engaging lyrics and a solid vocal performance.”
“Geena Fontanella certainly does not ‘TRIP’ with her latest release.
An ode to the hardships of dating in a world of big egos, asinine takes, and braggadocios bravado — the words ring all-too-true.
This is a the kind of track you can sing along too, while you praise the lyrics as the gospel of a modern world.”
“Lindsey Stirling is a star.
’The Upside’ is electric in every facet of the word and the power of the melody lifts me up with each and every listen.”
“Unlike the namesake super car, Isaac Dunbar’s ‘Ferrari’ starts slow. That is not to say the single is not engaging, but rather builds from a quiet place into a supercharged anthem.
Distorted vocals and emotion push the gas on this ode to reputation and rumor. The hard guitar riffs highlight the haunting edge of the lyrics.”
“A touching anthem of compassion.
This single, along with the video, tells a story that goes on everyday across countless cities. Voices are heard, but sometimes it truly does take an ‘Echo’ before anyone bothers to pay attention. Beautifully performed, this is a song about humanity that everyone should hear. ”
“This dance-able pop number captures the euphoria of waking up beside someone new. Someone that excites yo and feels you full of hope. This song carries that hope in both the beat and the performance.”
“The music video is vibrant and Felix Cartal & Lights have re-birthed pop. Her vocals are leveled to perfection giving off the energy of gogo music with a electrifying pop twist. ”
“Retro love song that fulfilled my lifelong desire to know what a Gwen Stefani hit would have sounded like in the 80s.
Okay, so maybe I never actually pondered what such a single would have been like, but Thanks to Kerri Meadows I don’t have to.
Nice alluring vocals. The kind of song lovers dedicate to each other no matter the decade.”
“I wasn’t in the best mood when I started listening to this but it spoke to me. I also like how they went back to the basics and delivered the art of storytelling. “Let It Be Me” takes me back to the MTV total request line and Mandy Moore era. It is a certified Pop song and the video reminds you that your super hero awaits you. ”
“This song is just fun. Sure it’s about cheating and remorse, but the video and lyrics provide insta-revenge and in a perfect world, all would-be broken hearts would be dealt with so easily.”
“Elodie Reverie commands attention from the very first vocal note.
’Fire in the Desert’ is a perfect analogy for for Reverie’s voice ... warm and relaxing at times, crackling with sultry heat at others.
This track is a pure pop anthem that stokes you to sing along by the second chorus.”
“Riding pure pop vibes, ‘Back To Us’ modernizes an 80s sound that at times feels like vintage Michael Jackson. But while his influences are clear, Grayson Ty’s talent stands out without relying too heavily on nostalgia.
This single is all about the emotion of trying to get back to that sweet spot in a relationship once it has hit the rocks.”
“If you can listen to a song and start singing along before it is over then that is a song with potential. “Faded On You” not only has great instrumentals and vocals but the delivery of the track is sure to have you faded in its melody.”
“There is something to be said about a good revenge song, because the raw emotion truly shines when the artist has something to say to those who have done them wrong.
’Fool’ is just such a single, and the varied vocal delivery, and razor sharp lyrics call out past transgressions in perfect pop glory. ”
“Elliot Lee hooks you with her haunting voice and holds you with lyrics that twist and turn ‘Upside Down’ a coupe of times.
The drum roll, and fluid, yet ever-changing melody speak of a meticulous attention to perfection on the production side.”
“The husky timbre to the vocals is unique enough to make you pay attention, and once Chloe Tang captures that, she has you, because you will believe every word she sings.
Unlike the subject of the lyrics, this single is worth the ‘Hype.’”
“Contact is an instrumental that is sure to rock the crowd at any festival. This is one instrumental that will soon be added to Dj mixes”

“ Instupendo takes listeners in a mellow direction with a classical temp over his soft vocals.”

“The hammer of the keyboard is the heartbeat of this melody, but the vocals are drenched with emotion and not store-bought melodrama, but genuine feelings that permeate every line delivered.”
“This genre bending single carries a universal message without resorting to petty commentary making it stand out in the crowded field of break up songs.
Nice simple emotion carries this track, and a melody that offers several surprises along the way fuels this winning release from Marcus James.”
