CAROLINE - Special [Review]

July 09, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Lyrically, this track is simply dazzling while also being dazzlingly simple.

The honest, straight forward approach to the writing is refreshing and the vocal tone is light and airy in a Pop kind of way, even as the lyrics have a bit of darkness or at least sarcastic wit. The juxtaposition makes the track all the the more interesting and makes me want to listen over and over again to pick up on every last nuance.”

    TITUS BANK - Hide Me Like You Do [Review]

    July 08, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Titus Bank captures the emotional distress of a lover not as fully open and committed about your relationship as you are. The track has a tender Pop build and feel, with an emotional underscore that feels very real and vulnerable.

    Making a comparison to another artist is not easy as I do hear subtle influences, but nothing that overshadows Bank’s own talent and spirit. This is a well-written track that hits ground not a lot of other music covers.”

      Will Kline - Anywhere [Review]

      July 03, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Electro Pop, Folk, House

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Electro Folk? That might not be an established genre, but this track certainly delivers both elements. On this track, Will Kline sounds like an Avicii/Mumford collaboration.

      Lyrically, the track is hopeful and earnest in its wanderlust, and musically it is right at home as a low-key dance number. The end result is a light airy track with a solid beat and a progression that keeps you leaning in for more.”

        Jared Minnix - Carhartt Beanies [Review]

        July 02, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Jared Minnix is an accomplished guitarist out of Nashville that is increasingly making his name as not only a talented instrumentalists, but as a Pop vocalist and songwriter as well. Minnix captures a light almost airy vibe with ‘Carhartt Beanies,’ a track that feels both nostalgic and upbeat at the same time. The delivery is infectious and the words are easy to fall in and sing along with making this a track to add to your summer playlists. ”

          TalkSick - 2 Complicated [Review]

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Dance Pop magic! That is what Netherland band, TalkSick has given us with ‘2 Complicated.’ This is the tough to pull off dance track that works as perfectly well riding alone in your car, or out on the dance floor. You can truly feel this one, or you can simply get lost int he beat and rhythm depending where your head is at the moment. ”

            Flora Cash - "Don't You Look At Me That Way" [Review]

            June 24, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Flora Cash’s new single “Don’t You Look At Me That Way” are soft vocals over piano keys. The emotive pop song engages every emotion as it paints a picture of a dramatic love story. The desire to be save mentally and emotionally as the call for help is delivered through the tempo of the song.”

              Tyra Jutai - Rebound [Review]

              June 18, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Coming in with an early-200s vibe, this track establishes a souldful groove from the start but the unique vocal tones of Tyra Jutai soon take over and carry us for quite the lyrical ride.

              The hedonistic track, ‘Rebound’ (ft. City Fidelia), explores the rebound period after a relationship ends when all you want is a distraction – whether it be drinking, drugs, sex or music – to get over your heartbreak.”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Margo comes in vocally strong and direct over a heavy bass. The new single “Too Much” is a fierce yet dark pop track that talks about the voices in your head. When you look in the mirror you tend to battle with yourself. The battle of the mind is a strong force that tends to be “Too Much” ”

                    “An anthem for Gen Z, ‘johnnysixteen’ is a smooth Pop groove telling the story of a young man trying a find his place in the world. That theme is of course universal through the ages, but Mustafa Sal does a great job of capturing the thoughts, fears and attitudes of his generation. ”

                      “Tyra Jutai knows how to tell a story, and tell it well. Here that story comes in the form of an Electro Pop Murder Ballad and beyond the strong storytelling and sultry emotive delivery is an eerie delivery that conjured strong thoughts of Amy Winehouse for me.

                      The track is bold and in your face both musically and visually with the delightfully sinister imagery of the video.”

This is a big bold sound that wraps around you and makes you want to move and shout HELL YEAH! at the affirmations, because we’ve all had those good, goodbyes. ”

                          Big bold vocals and an attitude that permeates every word and line are the fuse for this musical explosion.”

Evaluating ourselves, both in the mirror,a nd internally is something we all do and as our harshest critics sometimes we need a reminder to simply live our lives and stop seeking perceived perfection, because the truest beauty often comes from the flows and fears and all the stuff we often run from.

                            This Electro Pop track offers a catchy rhythm and a nice lyrical hook that grabs hold and refuses to let go. ”

                              “For everyone who who has boldly proclaimed IDGAF!, ‘I Don’t Care,’ is the title track for the soundtrack of your life. FAANGS infuses the single with attitude and a reserved brand of disdain for the world. The track is both an Electro Pop party anthem, and a self-reflective ode to doing your own thing all at the same time. And the video adds a nice touch of imagery to aid in the mood. ”

                                “This track does an excellent job of mixing a light Pop vibe with a heavier emotional set of lyrics, and the song really does feel like a conversation between two friends. Haley Gold delivers an earnest honesty as she slyly warns her friend about the dangers of dating one of her exes and the result is engaging and articulate while still managing to be entertaining. ”

                                  “Julian Lamadrid conjures up the style of Prince, the vibe of Timberlake, and the energy of Bruno here on on this track. ‘15 Minutes’ is an energetic Electro Pop joy ride with an artistic flair that is undeniable. This is a track you will be hearing a lot of this summer and beyond.”

                                    “Few things can mold and shape us like newfound love. None of us came through life unscathed, so we all carry some form of baggage into any relationship we enter. But true, honest love overcomes those things and often melds the past into something that we can better face and deal with.

                                    This catchy, hook-driven track works off that premise, and we can feel the emotional momentum as it builds with the track. Lyrically, I did crave a bit more, but the emption and sound still come across in this track from Kory Shore. ”

                                      “Life is a battle. We keep so much inside that our thoughts become a battle. Intrn and w00ds introduce us to a new single ‘I Deserve More’. It’s about having a revolution of wanting more and knowing you deserve more. The delivery is calm and the tempo stays the same but you are pulled in by the songwriting. We all deserve someone who loves us just as much as we love them. ”

                                        “The vocal tone here is unique and mesmerizing. A native of Sweden, Sara displays an emotional softness on this track that draws the listener in deep. There are defiente Pop styling to this track, but ‘Do Better’ exudes a sultry vulnerability that goes beyond the genre and feels almost folksy in a Commercial leaning way. ”
