Angela Parchetta - Tell Me [Review]

July 19, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The soft vocals of Angela Parchetta set off this Electro Pop track that feels like summer with just a hint of a melancholic undercurrent. The build and beat is subdued, but delivers its own mood and emotional vibe that works well with the yearning tenderness of the vocal performance.

’Tell Me’ asks the questions that fill all of our minds from time to time.”

    Sarah Kinsley - I Can Feel It [Review]

    July 14, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Electro Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The build, both musically and vocally, is almost cinematic here, though the track remains its Rock/Pop vibe thanks to a magnificent performance from Sarah Kinsley.

    ’I Can Feel It’ has the kind of emotion that sweeps you up and carries you along. A big piano ballad that Elton John and Freddy mercury would be proud of. KInsley puts her stamp on the emotion of making it in the music world.”

      Em Rose - Lame Boys [Review]

      July 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial, Pop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Every summer needs that pure pop sound to deliver a bit of bubblegum sweetness and energy to the warm sunny days. Em Rose has a true contender with ‘Lame Boys,’ a girl in the throes of infatuation. The track has an early Taylor Swift feel with a bit more Electro Pop flair on the back end. ”

        RUNN - Handle With Care [Review]

        July 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Contemporary R&B

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “RUNN delivers honest and vulnerable lyrics in this track about admitting your own weaknesses and sensitivities. The vocal performance is tender and open, which invites the listener in, almost like a first date kind of situation.

        ’Handle With Care’ is a warning, but not an aggressive one that this i what you will get if you choose to be part of my world. ”

          Very Very - Do Right [Music Video Review]

          July 11, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Electro Pop, R&B, Alternative

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “This mid tempo Track from Very Very brings a stream-of-conscious type of emotion with a vocal flow that is alluring and bare in its honesty. The beat backing the track is a subtle and simple addition that really adds depth while also pushing the track forward enough that it does not feel too languid. ”

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Sometimes what you need is that Retro soul sound coupled with a bit of good time Funk. You can call it a throwback if you want, but this kind of soul is pretty much timeless as is the euphoric and infectious energy such a track instills. I dare you not to fall in this groove and sing along as you move to that beat. ”

              Maja Kristina - "The Idea Of Me" [Review]

              June 30, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “The complicated dance that is love comes with all manner of missteps before you find the right partner. Maja Kristina takes on the person that only thinks they want to dance with you. The sort that goes in with the minimal amount of emotions and engagement, without truly feeling being swept up and present in the endeavor.

              The Electro Pop groove comes with engaging vocals and an uptempo beat that propels ‘The Idea Of Me’ forward to the end.”

                Gina Naomi Baez - Blow the Roof [Review]

                Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                “Coming with a twisty, exotic snake charmer kind of vibe, ‘Blow The Roof’ is a Pop track with a soaring spirit behind it that just sort of pulls you along. There are hints of Gwen Stefani and a bit of Katie Perry there as well. The melody and arrangement could have used a touch more variation to the mix , but the talent here is such that I can’t wait to hear what Gina Naomi Baez comes with next.”

                    “BATHSHEBA delivers a nice energy and upbeat, tempo on ‘Hit ‘N’ Run.’

                    The vocals have that little extra rasp and edge to make them as compelling as the beat and production side of this Electro Pop track. The single will entice you to move, but lyrically it offers depth and nuance as well. ”

                      “This track delivers an almost stream-of-conscious vibe to the heartbreak of finding a memento of a love gone awry.

                      LOVA’s vocals are tender and yearning, and the emotion is palpable as the track builds and progresses toward what feels like a moment of epiphany. There is a decided Pop vibe to the structure, but the honesty of the track pushes the single to another level. ”

                        “Dark and gritty, this Electro Pop track promises ‘Retribution.’ There isn’t a person alive who hasn’t craved a little pay back for those who have done them wrong and on this track, Anna Pena puts that desire into a set of menacing, yet sultry vocals that makes you taste the need for revenge on the back of your tongue.

                        The single delivers a nice arrangement which offers variation and a build that keeps you tethered to this song.”

                          “It is a simple question with complex ideas behind it. ‘Where Do Love Go?’ Here one minute and gone the next. Not unlike a magical tune that lands in your ears and fills you with ideas and emotion only to disappear as another track comes on. Still some songs stick with us and this is that kind of song. Light and airy in the best possible way Pop music can be, Lune has given us a track that we can easily dance along with as we ponder all the wonderful and weird facets of this thing we call life.”

                            “Make up sex! This track is the softest smoothest ode to angry smashing that you will ever hear.

                            The lyrical build is magic and the talented vocal performance oddly pop-like given the message being delivered. Somehow the mismatched combination is quite evocative and intriguing. But I suppose that is how love goes. Passion runs hot and cold, and is especially abrupt after making the corner after a big fight. So perhaps, this song has only captured that dynamic in perfect, musical bliss. ”

                              “Danny Bowens reminds us to ‘Keep Breathing’ with his latest single. The track delivers a true Electro Pop vibe and sound, with a set of lyrics that hit much like the self affirmations we’ve all given ourselves from time to time ... Relax, you got this, keep breathing and you can get through this.

                              These are messages we have all uttered or thought as we struggled, and here they come with a nice production and vocal talent, making this track a perfect add to that motivational playlist.”

                                Cinzia & The Eclipse - Don't Call Me Up [Review]

                                “This track comes with a melancholic vibe that feels right for the honest and genuine emotion of the lyrics. Reaching that definitive end of a relationship is tough, because the feelings you once had linger still, but being fed up with the ways things have gone is powerful as well.

                                Cinzia & The Eclipse have tapped into those feelings and given us a track that makes you feel every word of their single, ‘Don’t Call Me Up.’”

                                  “The word play here is fantastic. Couple that with a good, energetic Electro Pop vibe, and talented vocals and the track contains every element it needs to stand out from the crowd. This is no ‘Carbon’ copy of something you’ve already heard.

                                  Erasing the treads of those who have stepped on your heart and soul is tough, and this track plays with that idea in the form of a carbon footprint you just can’t escape.”

                                    “Some songs are impossible not to move to. ‘CHEF’ from Super Sthlm Bros. is one of those songs. The energy is instant, and the vocals come in with that swagger and verve to finish the job of hooking you.

                                    This all immersive groove is funky for damn sure, and if you can listen to this one without moving some part of your body then I gotta wonder, what happened to your soul?”

                                      “Dark and brooding, ‘Cross My Heart’ is a foreboding track from Canadian Electro Pop star VENNA. If Edgar Allen Poe wrote a song with Billie Eilish, the track might sound a lot like this.

                                      The emotional hook is strong and the build intriguing. I found the verses a bit more enthralling than the actual chorus, but that could be my own dark side showing because the chorus brings more of a Pop vibe than the rest of the track.”

                                        “Inspired by the unlikely source material of Mötley Crue’s track, ‘Wild Side,’ this big bright Electro Pop single comes alive instantly with its own bit of wildness.

                                        Digrasso is a 24 year old POP/EDM music producer from Stockholm and on this track his talent shines through. ‘Make It Last’ simply feels like sunshine and energy and we all need a bit of that. ”
