Katie Belle -Symptoms [Review]

July 28, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“You ever heard the saying spider senses tingling. This is a version of that. Katie Belle musical arrangement is about experiencing systems once someone gets in your system. The electro pop song is sexy and energetic. It makes you feel every verse.”

    Mae Morad -Let Go [Review]

    July 28, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “After 15 years of being absent in music Mae Morad reminds us how talented she is. “Let Go” is a disco dance song that will make you want to dance but while feeling the emotions in each verse. The track allows you to sep into each note and let go. ”

      “This is an electrifying dance track. The intro build you up to where the drop hits at :42. The artist points out a lot of different moments that involved white lies. However, it also set the moods to not care. ”

        WUKASA - Party People [Music Review]

        June 30, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “WUKASA gives a pure Electro Pop gem with ‘Party People.’ Lyrically the track is swaggering ode to confidence and just stomping forward no matter what ‘s in your way though musically the track’s dream like synths and soft steady rhythm almost belies a false bravo that makes me think the track the narrator of the story is trying to convince themselves as much as anyone else. The duality of that felt brilliant to me as that is how most of our minds work no matter what we display for the world. ”

          Glo Laila - Deal [Music Review]

          May 04, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The rhythm of the beat hit me first and then Glo Laila’s soft and vulnerable vocals took over as the driving force of the track. ‘Deal’ is a relationship song that puts the prospect of love on legal terms with a contract and set of rules that unfortunately rarely if ever applies toa affairs of the heart. And the realization that there are no guarantees in love ahs left us all feeling as vulnerable as this track feels. ”

            Filippa Borgman - Broken Man & A Shoe [Music Review]

            April 29, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Electro Pop, Indie Rock

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Written in the height of Covid lockdowns amid a landscape of widespread global depression, Filippa Borgamn gives us a story of sorrow that rings not only as plausible, but outright believable.

            ’Broken Man & A Shoe’ takes elements from Elton John, Folk, and Pop to create a track that is as full of life as it is sadness. This is a song of the human condition created by a talented artist that transcends any one genre or style to create an artful and meaningful emotional response.”

              Ben Alexander x Arya - Rush [Music Review]

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “Electro R&B anyone?

              Okay, so that isn’t exactly an official genre, but if it was ‘Rush’ from Ben alexander and Arya would top the charts right now. With a smooth, almost early 90s synth vibe, and a classic R&B vocal groove the track blends not only genres, but eras of music and still somehow feels contemporary and fresh in doing so. ”

                “We all have a bit of ‘Dopamine Junkie’ in us, because we are all chasing those good feelings. This track about the gratifying high of discovering that perfect song that speaks to out heart and soul.

                The production here is clean, and while the build is fairly subdued for the genre, the track does indeed take the listener on a ride. The vocals are in perfect balance with the beat and build making this a well rounded track that is easy to connect with. ”

                  “A sultry playful build is the earmark of “PL4Y” from REYSHA RAMI. This Electro Pop track has some vintage Madonna vibes mixed with a bit of Dua Lipa inspiration.

                  The song is on the shorter side, though it packs a lot of energy and verve into less than two minutes. Feels like a sexual hype track in the best of ways.”

                    “An Electro pop track about losing touch, though not that deep connection, with an old friends. The reminiscing tone of this track was intriguing and I feel like this is an underexplored theme in popular music. Alta Falls delivers a classic synth Pop sound with a modern contemporary twist.

                    The talent is what makes the track work, though for me the writing and unique subject and resulting emotions truly single this track out in a unique and refreshing way.”

                                “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.”

                                    “Liv Hanna possess the kind of powerful and emotive vocals that hook the listener from the very first note. The emotion here is palpable and the lyrical build is emotionally tight making the track a tight grip on the mind and soul. ‘Buried Alive’ is the kind of writing that will no doubt mean different things to different people but our various life experiences tend to lead us to view and hear art in different ways and this track is definitely artfully performed. ”

                                      April Jai - Not Like The Movies [Music Review]

                                      “True love is one of the toughest things to find and can feel like an impossible fairytale at times. Books, movies, and well-meaning friends offer all kinds of advice and theories but there are no rules to love and this track captures that feeling with perfection.

                                      April Jai describes her song ‘Not Like The Movies’ as ... the confused hopeless romantic single girl anthem you need to scream in the car with all of your friends ... and that description is dead on accurate.”

                                        “BOWIE unleashes this haunting condemnation of modern societal ideals and the brooding emotive build hooks the listener with power and a bit of condemnation as we all are guilty of the crimes highlighted by this well-written track. The dark undertones of the production are a perfect mate to the expressive vocal style that has some comparison to Florence and the Machine.

                                        This is a track that gives off nuance and emotions in layers so give it more than one listen to truly take a deep dive in this finely crafted song. ”
