“Dark and sultry, NIIVA aims her explosive talent straight at your heat with her new single, ‘Trigger.’ A slow burning track that hooks you with a steady beat that gives way to the vocals where it needs to, in order to make you feel every last aspect of the single.”
“Gillian Heidi delivers a desperate and angst-filled vibe in the yearning allure of ‘desperate.’ Unexpected attraction to someone new while inside a relationship is a mixed bag of emotions, and while the thrill of the taboo can make a person feel alive, the guilt of cheating even emotionally is a burden that can weigh one down. The uncertainty and misgivings come across lyrically and in the performance of this track.”
“Some voices just catch you from the start. The earnest passionate sound of J GRGRY was such a voice for me.
This slow building love song never felt tepid, but rather stoic and determined in the way a lasting love must be. The rising crescendo was important in the progression. The talent shines here in this unassuming and honest track.”
“Kaya Stewart brings an edgy allure to her vocal performance on ‘California.’ Of course the Golden State has long possessed that same brand of allure, so in this track that serves as a love letter to the state, the tone is dead on perfect. A brief Hip-Hop interlude from Childish Major adds to the mood and vibe of the track as a solid change-up to Stewart’s talented performance.”
“How can you not get down with the philosophy of ‘Don’t Give Me Problems, Give me Wine?’
The tone here is engaging and straightforward. BabyJake emotes the passion behind the lyrics in this track that feels almost Cosmic Cowboy in nature. A hint of Folk, a jolt of Rock, a splash of that 70s Alt Country vibe and this track simply oozes with coolness.”
“Pure Pop glory and attitude!
The vocal talent brings alive a set of wryly humorous lyrics that are indeed entertaining but also very pointed for the times we live in.
This one is for everyone who has ever had to say ‘Seriously, Just Stop,’ to that person that won’t quite texting and calling. Take a hint already.”
“The world has been weird and challenging for most of us in some way, and ‘30 Days’ by Skylar Dayne takes one dynamic of the quarantine life and brings it to light.
In the budding beginning of a new relationship just as lock-down came on, Dayne penned this track about the uncertainties of her newfound relationship in the face of a forced separation. The vocals bring alive the emotion and the production feels spot on here. ”
“Coming with a fun energy, Sam The Astronaut utilizes an Electro Pop vibe to deliver a light energetic track that feels a bit like summer without overtly trying to do so.
’Monster Squad’ is a groove you can fall easily into and ride out with enthusiasm.”
“Knowing someone has your back means everything, and this tranquil tracks expresses that with a sincere bit of emotion that feels uplifting and affirmative in all the best ways. Could be a lover, or simply a friend, but either way STVN makes this performance come alive with a nice easy groove.”
“Cloudy June might sound like a weather forecast, but let me tell you this artist is bringing a heat wave of hits lately. ‘Pretty Pills For Broken Hearts’ as another tantalizing track blowing across the landscape. With word play that waters the soul, like that first rain after a long drought, and a beat just as refreshing, this talented songwriter and vocalist is riding high in the stratosphere.”
“Coming at you with pure Pop sensibilities, Cat Janice drops a bit of ‘Luxury’ into your ears. The single captures that spirit and carefree vibe that comes with the perfect moments of life. The moments when even the simplest of pleasure truly feel like a luxury.
Light and fun, the groove carries you along as easy as a smooth ride down a scenic highway.”
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Becky Krill is summer vibing with this track that opens with a nostalgic, folksy feel before slipping into more of an Electro Pop groove as it progresses.
’Alive in the Summertime’ offers a light energy of optimism in a world that often feels pessimistic these days. I did find myself wishing the track had another verse to keep the good feelings going a bit longer.”
“The very first line hooks you in, and the build has a bit of funk in the beat to further set the hook.
’Good Good’ is a track that fills you with energy, the same sort of energy that comes with falling head over heels and losing the rest of the world as a result. The beat and build are alluring, and lyrically you can feel the power of the emotion. ”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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.”
