TGC - Echo [Review]

October 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The beat has a bounce that truly feels elastic, whereas TGC’s hauntingly beautiful vocals snake their way through to stab like a knife.

’Echo’ is a track that you will gladly listen to over and over again.”

    Alice Merton - Easy [Music Video Review]

    October 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Lyric Video, Music Videos, Electro Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Relationships are rarely ‘Easy’ and this track captures the hopes, fears, ups, downs and insecurities of that dynamic in Electro Pop glory. A fun track with true depth as well.”

      “An alluring vocal tone and a steady beat give ‘1,000 Cuts’ an edge that slices straight and true.

      Electro Pop done right. Can’t wait to hear more from Nadia Vaeh.”

        Evie Irie - "The Optimist" [Music Video Review]

        October 20, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial, Pop, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Packing complex emotions and themes into her writing, Evie Irie’s songwriting is far beyond her actual age. Actually, her songwriting shines for a any age so that comment is unfair to say. Though it is a fact that she is only sixteen, so be aware of this rising star, because the vocals are just as intriguing as the writing.

        The video is well down as well and helps bring ‘The Optimist’ to life.”

              Sophie Gray - Bye Bye [Review]

              October 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Given the genre of ‘Bye Bye,’ and the fact Sophie Gray is a burgeoning 15 yo pop starlet, there will no doubt be comparisons to Taylor Swift. However, that line is a tough one for me to draw.

              Gray brings a heaver, songwriter vibe to this commercial mix and that somehow layers in an additional bit of emotion that transcends beyond youthful energy, to wise, world observer.”

                            This is the kind of track that will lure you to the dance floor, yet is also engaging and reflective enough to warrant play while sitting alone and thinking about the ghosts of your own pasts with a bit of Scotch in hand.

                                  GRAACE - 21st Century Love [Review]

                                  “GRAACE has the kind of voice that both pierces and unarms and ‘21st Century Love’ utilizes this tone to showcase the emotion of being stuck in your head.

                                  Lyrically it is not a complex song, but the nuance of the performance and a steady beat make the single an engaging listen.”

                                    “Nostalgia and heartache go together like David Bowie and eyeliner, so missing your lover and your favorite artists is a creative way to bring those emotions forward. Pop vocals added to a nice beat and melody help bring out the longing in this worthy single from chloe mk.”

                                      “Two voices.
                                      Two sets of emotions. Both blended perfectly.

                                      That is the heart of this single about former lovers now separated, and missing each other and the way things were. This of course is not unfamiliar territory for songwriters, but the imagery is sharp within the lyrics and the performance makes ‘Strangers Arms’ stand out in all the right ways. ”

                                        “This groove is hard to resist, so “Come On’ and give Robyn L’nea single a listen. Once you do, you will be moving and singing along because this single has that IT factor that is always so hard to describe. ”
