PLS&TY - High [Review]

March 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“This track has a nice Commercial groove and energy about it lyrically. The beat and melody are pure Electro Pop and the vocal talent holds it all together with a smooth flow that is easy to follow and song along with. This song establishes a mood and vibe that will resonate well across genres.”

    Lune - Wi-Fi [Music Video Review]

    March 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Lyric Video, Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “This tracks bare and stripped back vocals hooked me early on. I listened in the way you watch a story unfold on the street, that you perhaps are not supposed to see, because the nature of this track is slightly voyeuristic in that it feels like an intimate conversation between friends.

    The Electro Pop vibe is subdued and the track progresses with that one single voice doing the heavy, emotional lifting. Though the track does have enough splashes production wise, to elevate it above the artsy status and give it just a hint of commercial flair.”

      Andrey Pitkin x Christina Novelli - Talking to You (Remix by Filatov & Karas) [Review]

      March 19, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, House

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Just because you’re stuck at home, it doesn’t mean you can’t get up and dance!

      Yeah, I am ‘Talking To You.’

      This remix is a track that delivers both engaging vocals and an energetic production to get you moving. So grab the one you are sequestered with; the cat, the dog, hell grab the broom if you must, but toss you hair back and move to the music because it is important to get up and groove. ”

        Andrey Azizov x Mauwe - Take Me Down [Review]

        March 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Andrey Azizov joins forced with Mauwe on this Electro Pop track which is a nice balance of light and dark both lyrically and melodically. The soft emotional resonance of her voice bring forth the sullen rain sodden vibe that is perfect for anyone feeling reminiscent or a touch melancholy. The track feel like a dark stormy night in that the world is quiet and still, yet the mind moves on. There too is a freshness and scent of hope that only rain and receding trouble can bring. ”

          R3HAB x Clara Mae x Frank Walker - "More Than OK (Acoustic)" [Music Video Review]

          March 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, Electro Pop

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “This is a BIG, quiet song. That might sound like a contradiction, but the emotions behind the lyrics and performance are huge while the quiet production perfectly brought them forth.

          Clara Mae delivers passion and tenderness in her vocal ode to wanting more out of life than just being okay. Her inflection is perfect and it is easy to feel her investment in the message.

          This multi-national collaboration between Mae, R3HAB, and Frank Walker has created a track that speaks loud to the hearts and souls of everyone and it does so with spot on production and a timeless feel. ”

              golda - Dear Los Angeles [Review]

              March 05, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Indie Electronic

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “This is not the first single from golda that I have shared here in LA on Lock, so the name should not be a stranger to our followers, but ‘Dear Los Angeles’ is her best yet. And that is saying something, given the powerful tracks we’ve already shared.

              This single is a slow ballad of raw emotion. There is a retro quality in the simplicity of the melody and the vocal style, but the single is also very much a modern tale of not dashed dreams, but rather delayed dreams. And of the vulnerability it takes to admit it is time to reassess and gear up for another try.

              We have all been there and the emotions are tangible, though the talent behind the track singles out golda as a one of a kind artist headed to a plane most of us will never get to. ”

                “Olivia Addams brings an air of European allure to this Electro Pop track. Hailing from Romania, Addams, voice is mysteries and engaging in this dreamlike track of longing and wanting.

Le Rose’s vocals are soft, yet sultry and the lyrics spring from the emotions like a flower from the parched earth, to give us a beauty that stems from arid emotions. The arrangement of the track accentuates the songwriting to grow this single, ‘Flower’ into a delightful bouquet of sound and emotion. This is the Electro Pop we all want and need! ”

                    “Jon Sine follows up his biggest song as yet, ‘All About,’ with a new single ‘About You.’ Featuring the vocal talent of Diandra Faye, this new track is a light and airy, with engaging lyrics that are easy to sing along with. The energy of the single delivers an island vibe as it explores a renewed independence after having a relationship where everything was about the other party.

                    ’About You’ is about that breath of fresh air on the other side of a break up.”

                      “That first real love is always magical, especially when it comes after you have stepped out into the world as an adult, and life truly feels like it belongs to you.

                      This track, by teamwork, captures those emotions and distills them out into the world in Electro Pop glory. The track is sharp lyrically, and the duo of voices express them very well.

                      The imagery of the video is a perfect addition to truly bring the track alive. A fun song with a good vibe perfect to usher warmer weather in. ”

                        The song brings enough energy and spirit to make it float above the competition. Lyrically, the track isn’t reinventing the wheel, but sometimes the predictable can still be a lot of fun.”

                          “The writing here is spot on perfection. Vocally, the first few lines felt a touch dated for me, but then the track took a turn and felt purely modern from then on.

Placing this track in a category is tough as there are POP influences, and songwriter vibes along with a bit of electronic beats and melody. The song is a ride through the subconscious and maybe because no one human can truly be put in a box, neither can a song such as this that feels so human. ”

                                wrs - why [Music Video Review]

                                “This track delivers an exotic, almost dangerous vibe that instills an eager anticipation as you listen. Beneath that is a melancholy undertone that adds yet another layer to the single. Matter of fact, layered is the best way to describe this single from wrs.

                                The production brings different elements over the top of a steady beat and the various embellishments all add to the emotion of the track. Lyrically, ‘why’ deals with a love, or at least infatuation gone bad.

                                The imagery of the video brings all of this alive with vivid, understated imagery.”

                                  “An Electro Pop anthem for the ladies out there that have been burned one too many times, ‘Boys Like You’ is a nicely produced, smoothly delivered ode to feminine self-reliance and power.

                                  I reviewed the radio edit, but I imagine the unedited version carries even more of the same bold verve. This is a track to sing along with and declare your independence. A fun track with something to say.”

                                    “Sultry and sexy in a way we haven’t heard since Gwen Stafani’s ,No Doubt days. The beat and melody are infectious and exotic and the vocal performance brings the same vibe.

                                    This is close to Pop perfection and Kris Ivy has all of the makings of a star. The track feels intoxicating in a way that music seldom is ,but when it does achieves that element it draws listeners from all genres and appetites. This is a single that can do that so don’t sleep on Kris Ivy.”

                                      Hannah Evans - Crying On Your Own [Review]

                                      “This track is a tale of two sounds. The first is dark and soulful, while the second is pure pop with a bouncy commercial appeal. The contrast is a bit shocking at the first change in tone and style, but overall the arrangement works quite well once you adjust.

                                      The comparisons to Billie Eilish are easy ones to make, but there is a bit more soul to the slower verses and a bit more of a pop feel during the uptempo portions of the single so Hannah Evans is bringing her own spin and brand of talent to the table. ”

                                        “The beat and melody come in light and airy, and leading in, the song has the feel of a sugary sweet love song, but the vibe turns quickly.

                                        ’Birthday is a well-crafted song with lyrics that feel like stream of conscious heartache that mirrors the mundane acts that hit hard after a breakup. And if there is regret or uncertainty that you did the right those emotions are all the more acute.

                                        The lyrics as well as the performance bring all of this out perfectly in this Electro Pop track that is easily my favorite within the genre in a long while. ”
