Why Don't We - How Do You Love Somebody [Music Video Review]

June 03, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Adult Contemporary

Rating: 4 out of 5

“High energy and electric, Why Don’t We unleashes ‘How Do You Love Somebody,’ an ode to those loves that come and go far to fast. Sometimes we know the reason, and sometimes they are simply gone like a shooting star. The vocal energy dips and swells but he tempo pulls the listeners along from start to finish with artful precision. ”

    ANDI - Devil's Work [Review]

    June 03, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “This new track starts out feeling a bit like the musical version of the teen Classic, The Breakfast Club but for those who have never seen the classic movie here is a bit from her publicist about the track ...

    Andi’s new track, ‘Devil’s Work,’ is a piano-driven ballad ruminating on the heartbreak that comes from not feeling worthy. Andi’s vocals soar as her yearning falsetto lingers with the weight of her words. Not just a reflection but a call to action, Andi’s “Devil’s Work” speaks directly to those struggling with their mental health and self-acceptance.

    Andi goes into detail below:

    ’This song was inspired by the lack of open conversation about mental health. So many people portray perfect lives online yet are struggling behind the scenes. The lyric, “Her reflection shows her ribcage but she thinks she weighs too much,” portrays the reality of this day in age - especially on social media. There is a beauty standard that is so unattainable that young girls and boys are unable to see themselves clearly. I want this song to help people get through tough times that feel impossible to get through.

    The line, “magazines have editors and makeup does the devils work,” is another metaphor for social media setting unhealthy standards. You aren’t seeing the editing of the pictures, posing, fake lighting; you’re just getting the final product. This is so unhealthy for young boys and girls.”

      Neville - VINCENT VAN GOGH [Review]

      May 23, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “An intriguing song on the vocal talent and arrangement alone, but that is not all Neville and her single, ‘VINCENT VAN GOGH’ offers. The writing is sharp, and makes it’s point by highlighting the unnecessary and stupid challenges that women face in society.

      This is a Pop track with some Electro vibes to it. A track you can move to or reflect on, and either way it offers nice attitude and a bit of verve that makes it truly come alive.”

        Anna Thompson x Nicky Buell - AM I THE DRAMA? [Review]

        April 30, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “A dark twisty track about revenge, or at least contempt between best friends turned lovers, and ultimately into exes in every possible way. Both voices are uniquely talented and sell the emotion well. The funky groove is sinister in its composition, adding to the brooding vibes of the track.

        ’Am I The Drama?’ is the question of the day and this track makes it clear the drama is tangible between these two. ”

          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. ”

            “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. ”

              “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. ”

                  “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 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 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. ”

The sound is bold and as much Rock as Pop, but blends the lines quite well. ”

                                “LA on Lock is proud to premier this new single from STAY GLDN. ‘Dead Ends, Fake Friends’ is the antithesis of nostalgia. There are many track about going home again but this British band puts a different spin by lamenting the fact they did not leave all that much behind when the left the nest.

                                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. ”

                                  “Comparisons to Bruno are bound to come for Drax Project, but don’t be fooled into thinking this New Zealand group is merely a copy of something you’ve heard before. “Crazy’ is a catching and rhythmic anthem of sorts that will get you up and moving and reminded me more of a vintage Jamiroquai more than Bruno. A fun energetic track that will sweep you up and in. ”

                                    “Pure energy and ‘Mood!’

                                    AZSH delivers an Electro Pop track infused with a bit of South Beach flair and panache. A big infectious beat, and a nice lyrical hook bring this single to life and you’ll be hard pressed not to sing along and move to this groove. Add this high-energy track to that playlist you go to when you need a jolt to motivate yourself to get up and going.”

                                      sheyda - Wish I Could Want You [Music Video Review]

                                      “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. ”

                                        Hunter Moreau - Sleepyhead [Review]

                                        “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. ”
