LVRBOY - when you love someone [Review]

April 29, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Electro Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Despite our best efforts some relationships simply do not work. This is especially tough when there isn’t one great reason just a simple parting of the hearts. LVRBOY takes on this very kind of ending with ‘when you love someone’ and that is not enough to salvage a future together. Coming with a smooth grove and emotional build, this Electro Pop track speaks to and from the heart. ”

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Elle Baez conveys power and confidence and attitude infused declarations in ‘Mister Possessive.’ the track is about taking control and walking away when need be or simply being the master of your won fate and desires. The track has a power R&B feel but really transcends genre with its confidence and verve. ”

      Lorelei Marcell - Need Me [Review]

      April 22, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Loralei Marcell has the kind of emotive voice that instantly pulls a listener in and holds them tight to the lyrical build. This track is about the power of love and how complex walking away can be np matter how much it needs to be done. ‘Need Me’ mirrors the mind and our need t be loved as well as our need to escape at times even when there are plenty of reasons to stay. ”

        KID TRAVIS - VIOLETS [Review]

        April 07, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Adult Contemporary

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “A light airy arrangement and well-written lyrics are accentuated by a soft emotive delivery. Kid Travis delivers this Electro Pop hit with energy and passion and the result kept me moving and leaning in through multiple listens.

        This track feels like Bieber meets Ed Sheeran with a decided Kid Travis stamp over the top. ”

          Liv Charette - Red Flags White [Review]

          March 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Liv Charette simply exudes talent and confidence, and this track hooks right from the first line. ‘Red Flags White’ is a modern dating anthem or more of a moving forward anthem. Just allowing yourself to have some fun and accept the things you cant change or at least not allowing them to stop a bit of fun.

          The big bold talent and delivery brings the track to life and this song feels like a declaration of diva status.”

            Becky HIll x Galantis - Run [Music Video Review]

            February 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Electro Pop, EDM, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Becky Hill is a phenomenal talent, and her latest single ‘Run’ is another triumph for this talent Brit. Teaming up with Swedish group Galantis, this big bold offering is an epic conversation about how we run from love after being hurt a few times. The uplifting nature of the melody and build lends the track an almost motivational quality and serves as a reminder to us all that there is power in the vulnerability of keeping our hearts open to the idea of love. ”

              The Attire - Girls Like You

              February 24, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “The Attire is comparable to Bruno MArrs and Maroon 5 and falls solidly in the Funk Pop sound. ‘Girls Like You’ is a soulful ode to affairs of the heart and the way our hearts get drug down some rocky roads but we keep taking that bumpy ride hoping for that magical ride we call love.

              The beauty here is that it take a few rough rides to recognize that smooth trip when it arrives. ”

                    Malan delivers the single with talented vocal precision, and a sweet tone that hooks and holds the listener. A calm steady build creates a tranquil vibe that feels like warm spring sunshine on your face after a long chilly winter.

                        This Indie/Dream Pop track conveys the memories and emotions and the simple video works well to help convey the relived brand of melancholy the song puts off. ”

                              “We’ve all spotted that person that captivates us with their looks, only to be disappointed once that person opens their mouth. ‘Wish I Could Want You’ takes a lap around that emotional pool, but does so with powerful vocals and a wry set of lyrics that makes this track not only a smooth groove, but a stunning bit of sarcasm that lands all of its lyrical punches.

                              The video will have you ready to hit the lake. Can’t wait to hear more music from this talented artist. ”

                                “We all get stuck in our head and repeat the same old tired refrains we believe to be true, but that often hold us back. Hunter Moreau takes that habit and turns it into an engaging Bedroom Pop track. ‘Sleepyhead’ has enough energy and verve to make the track come alive, yet enough emotional vulnerability to hook and hold and get us all to thinking about our own mental habits. ”

                                  “This collaborative effort has a light airiness that swept me up and into yhe build. The vocal talent and clean production behind it are both top notch, making this is a track that simply pulled me in with its jaunty energy and infectious build.

                                  A single that is easy to connect to and stay with making it feel uplifting and light in all the best ways. ”

                                    “Already having made her mark as a model, digital artist, and fashion designer, MIXIE is celebrating her artistic journey into music with her debut single, ‘Run Away.’

                                    LGBTQI+ to the bone and current Manhattanite, MIXIE is a renaissance girl for the 21st century. Riding pure Pop tones and Commercial vibe musically, this track is right at home with current hits. The energy and lyrical flow hooks in and doesn’t let go. ”

                                      Arlo Boe - 80's Movie [Review]

                                      “For a lot of people the 80s were the height of Pop music and this tack from Arlo Boe pays homage to the glorious synth sounds of that era. There is a Flashdance and Footloose feel to this track and it certainly would be right at home alongside those soundtracks but there is still a contemporary edge that lifts this one above being merely a tribute to musical glories of decades past. ”

                                        Ryan Riback - (Just Can't) Hate U (feat. Dotter) [Review]

                                        “Australian producer, Ryan Riback pushes all the right buttons in giving us this single. ‘(Just Can’t) Hate U’ features the vocals talent of Dotter and the pairing of talent brings the song out to its fullest.

                                        We’ve all had that person we should hate, but just can’t seem to find that particular emotion so we turn to them far more times that we should. This song is about such a dilemma and the odd mix of feelings that comes with it.”
