Sannia - august [Music Review]

October 26, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Electro Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“As they say, you never forget your first love. ‘August’ was written about a lost love and the what-might-have-beens of that initial, tangible foray into dreaming of happily ever after.

Sannia delivers the lyrics with a mix of wistful nostalgia, and tender heartbreak to make you feel the heartbreak and lost opportunity. The track shifts from slow and tender to upbeat and regretful, and the blend is intoxicating. ”

    John Newman - Guiding Light [Music Review]

    October 25, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, EDM

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A smoothly delivered track with a nice escalation up front to light the fuse. John Newman wrote this as an ode to his newborn daughter, though the track has a universal appeal that will resonate for listeners and take on new personal meaning for them as well.

    The track has a nice uplifting energy, without going over the top making it a highly listenable track as good for a party, personal reflection while driving alone in the car, or simply chilling with a handful of friends. ”

      Flora Cash - HOLY WATER [Music Video Review]

      October 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Adult Contemporary

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Right in time for the season, Flora Cash sprinkles some dark ethereal ‘HOLY WATER’ into your ears. Let me share a few words direct from the artists before I say more msyelf

      ’As the veil between worlds thins approaching Halloween, this track tells a story of timeless connections and souls reuniting, merging mythic themes with contemporary Indie Pop nuances. Shpresa Lleshaj’s haunting lead vocal and Djordje Milanovic’s mournful violas stand out above a dynamic and almost operatic production.’ ~ Flora Cash

      The haunting vocals mesmerize, as does the violin accompaniment. Far too many seasonal songs take a cliched and often kitschy angle, but this track is a perfect balance and is artistic in a way few such songs pull off. So much so, I hesitate to call it a holiday track as it is something I will be listening to year round.”

        Hana Lili - Small Talk [Music Video Review]

        October 16, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Lyric Video, Electro Pop, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Hana Lili hooked me from the onset on ‘Small Talk,’ an anthem for anxious over-thinkers everywhere.

        Hana says, “I wrote ‘Small Talk’ because I realised it was something I find difficult sometimes, ‘Small Talk’ is a song about hiding behind small talk in conversation to avoid being vulnerable.”

        Lili’s emotive vulnerability is what first drew me tot he track and with each listen I still feel it giving the track a lasting power and a permanent place of several of my playlists. ”

          LEWIS FITZGERALD - Clarity [Music Video Review]

          October 15, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          ““Relationships tend to ebb and flow, and while both parties might remain in love, there are times the only way to find ‘Clarity’ is to take a step back and reassess your emotions. Lewis Fitzgerald tackles this dynamics on this Electro Pop track.

          I suspect some will label Fitzgerald as a Brutish Post Malone, given his look and sound, and while that designation has merit because there are definite similarities, this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced Fitzgerald’s talent. So I am confident that he has the artistry and talent to stand on his own and shed any notions that he is a derivative artist and not a talent in his own right.”

            “Olivia Lunny is as talented as they come and here she is joined by Bryce Vine. The vocal duet is stunning and emotive and you feel every last, heartbreaking word of the track.

            ’Fix This’ is the kind of track that will help people get through their own hard times or even facilitate conversation for couple in need of a good heart-to-heat to turn the ride of a sinking relationship. An engaging and entertaining track with the ability to effect actual change in people’s lives, what’s not to love?”

              Maiah Manser - With A Smile [Music Video Review]

              Rating: 3 out of 5

              “ I like how Maiah Manser’s takes her time with her delivery in the intro. The song goes from subtle and dramatic to a little energetic. It keeps you engaged with the fast beat and allows you to be a dreamer as well. I like how her vocal range is revealed as well as the overall production.”

                Rating: 3 out of 5

                “Some people are in their soft girl era but it’s time for their villain era. Paytra has incredible songwriting that relates to good girls who do a lot and try to keep an image. Then one day they realize they want more and choose to live on the edge. The song starts off a little premature but delivers empowerment and energy.”

Although you won’t be overly impressed with the vocal delivery the song itself is a vibe and definitely something you could turn up and jam out to. ”

You make the memories, and hold on to those memories even if time runs out. The tempo is upbeat but a true hidden love song.”

                                “The song may start off as sweet and a little sad but then it turns into a dark track. The melody even switches to a dramatic tempo as Akicita’s vocals turn serious. The song is about the creation of a monster and how there is no turning back once you become one. This track will keep you listening as it tells the story of how sadness meets aggression. ”

                                  Keira Gray - Summer Lovin' With You [Review]

                                  “Keira Gray’s voice is both chilling and the type of voice that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Then the hook comes in and those crispy vocals become textures and messy which relate a stronger sense of urgency and conviction. A catchy hook that will have all the teen girls singing it word for word. Playful and fun. Keira Gray is definitely someone to be on the look out for.”

                                    “The angelic vocals of the intro, make the listener feel almost spell bound. Upbeat. High energy, yet dark at the same time. The synths are intense and the base acts almost like the heartbeat of the track. This song would be great in car and racing video games, but also in raves where you just wanna let your hair down and let go.”

                                      “The music automatically draws you into this techno, pop free fall. Ana delivers strong vocals with an even stronger message. The everyday doubts and wants of any human being...to be more and have more than what they have due to the hard work and labor they put in. A deep song with a playful outer texture. This is stadium music. Big record.”

                                        “This song is a dance club anthem. An instant hit. Bopping synths used in the production to give it a natural bounce. Although the vocals aren’t the most impressive, they do what they need to do. Providing the energy that keeps this track and the party going. This song is a jam. I love how the producer also left pockets for the music to just jam out and allow for the energy to stay consistent.”
