“Am Electro Pop track about taking that next step from friends to something much more. Who will make that move to transcend and change the tone of the relationship? ‘Stop Fighting It’ is described by the artist as ... ‘your spicy ‘friends to lovers’ female empowerment song.’
April Jai utilizes her talented vocal skills to tease and taunt both the listener and subject of her desire in the lyrical build. ”
“When you really love or care about someone you tend to overlook their faults and even let them disappoint or hurt you over and over again. ‘Let Me Down’ by Three Second Chances is an Adult Contemporary track that dives into the emotions of being the one affected. The various sets of vocals play well off each other and the build is an easy one to fall in and stick with. The track feels like a bit of a throwback but is certainly contemporary enough to hold modern audiences. ”

Its very futuristic from the filtering of the voices via the autotune to the playful chords in the background. The lead vocalist rides the pockets of this beat perfectly. ”
“Starting tranquil and almost serene, Only Bricks pulls the trigger about forty-five seconds in, and ‘Bang! Bang!’ the track explodes. The vibe goes back and forth keeping the listener on edge for what’s coming next, creating a danceable track with legs of its own.
The talent shines and fortunately the track delivers an arrangement that feels as unique as it does artful. ”
“Charlotte Sands wants to be a voice and an inspiration to all the people who consider themselves to be outsiders, freaks, or imply different than the so-called normies of the world, and ‘Alright’ is an anthem of sorts created for that purpose.
The soaring vocal talent is accompanied by an emotive delivery and passion that is tangible throughout the track. I felt every word of this track and will be adding it to a number of playlists.”

“An energetic Electro Pop track with strong Commercial vibes, ‘Clean Break’ is a track that pays homage to Roxette, Ace of Base and the sound of decades past, while still having a fresh contemporary Pop feel as well. ILIRA has the energy and vocal chops to hook the listener and there is that extra spirit and energy to truly make the track stand out from the fray.
Raised in a small Swiss town by Kosovo-Albanian parents, ILIRA struggled to find her place in an environment with clashing cultures. Citing a wide set of musical influences from Nirvana to Rihanna as her first major muses, ILIRA developed a rebellious middle- finger-wagging attitude at a very young age, shaping her into the artist that she is today. ILIRA began cutting her teeth on the live stage in various talent shows on Albanian and Swiss TV, all the while writing songs to beats she had purchased online and posting clips of these songs to Instagram. Flash forward to a move to Berlin, Sony Music Germany snap ILIRA up and she begins penning catchy pop tracks in LA and London. She reached #1 on the German Airplay Charts with her hit collaboration “FADING.” ILIRA rounded of the year with upbeat cuts such as EXTRA FR!ES and PAY ME BACK!, and is currently in the studio honing her debut album.”

“Gwyn Love has the kind of emotive voice that hooks you from the first word. This track has some Pop Punk elements that have a 90s nostalgia feel but also some Contemporary Pop vibes that make it feel modern and timely.

“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.”
“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.”
“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. ”
