Ellisa Sun - Talk to Ya [Music Review]

December 12, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Featured in the Hulu TV series, Dollface, ‘Talk To Ya’ by artists Elisa Sun has a nice suspenseful beat to instill an edge right from the start.

Sun has a Pop edge to her vocal style though this one leans a little dark than most Pop tracks. There is a bit of an an 80s nostalgia to the overall sound though this Electro Pop number is right at home in today’s musical landscape.”

    Emeryld - Lights Camera Baby! [Music Review]

    December 05, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Emeryld wrote ‘Lights Camera Baby’ with Slush Puppy after a messy breakup and even messier relationship.

    She explains the motivation well. “We were two girls in the same friend group which led to us feeling like local bar celebrities, turning heads and sparking controversy, when in reality, it was just embarrassing and narcissistic to think we were anything serious but a spectacle, mirroring and magnifying each other’s issues.”

    This track billed by the artist as a ... gay “cry in the club” song, was inspired by the sound today’s top Pop divas. Emeryld can stand proudly among them as she unleashes her truths in a vulnerable yet confidant way that showcases her talents.”

      LEWIS FITZGERALD - EASY [Music Video Review]

      November 25, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “South London artist, Lewis Fitzgerald is a rising star. We;ve featured him before and his name is starting to pop up in more and more places. Easy’ is Fitzgerald’s latest single and it continues to showcase his versatility and talent.

      I won’t claim this is my favorite track from him, but “Easy’ is a good song. Perhaps a bit glossier than I personally favor, but this London artist is capable of grittier music with a sharper edge as well, and this more Commercial offering will certainly find eager listeners. ”

        “Peace and tranquility rule the day on this track from Sehou. ‘Falling Through The Air’ is one of those tracks that could fit the musical landscape over the last twenty years or so.

        The Electro/Dance Pop track is smooth and uplifting and will carry you along when you need that pick me up or recharge.”

          Super Massive - Caught In A Web [Music Review]

          November 14, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

          Rating: 3.5 out of 5

          “Super Massive unleashes a high energy summer time track with their latest single, ‘Caught in A Web.’

          Wait, what? Summertime? Yep, you read it right. Super Massive is an Aussie based dance/rock band that blends electro, electro-pop, dance-pop, synthpop and EDM and while here in North America we are the cusp of winter they are ready to bask in some summertime fun down in the Southern Hemisphere.

          Th track is a throwback of synth glory and a fun romp.”

            Luci - Loner [Music Review]

            November 05, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM, Electro Pop, Dance, Pop

            Rating: 3.0 out of 5

            “Luci began her career as a an EDM producer and that influence is clear on this track, though the vocal side certainly has Pop sensibilities.

            ’Loner’ is an emotive and vulnerable track in its best moments, though for me the harder drops and production that turned toward a Future Bass/EDM style got in the way of the emotions at times.

            For me this track shined the brightest with Luci’s emotive delivery and less production behind it clouding the song. ”

              LEWIS FITZGERALD - OH MAMA [Music Review]

              Rating: 3 out of 5

              “Lewis Fitzgerald has the vocal chops to do whatever he wants. Here the South London artist utilizes and Afrobeat to back his performance and while the vocals and music are on point, the lyrical build is sparse and just never quite hit that next level for me. I was intrigued by the talent and sound, but slightly let down by the lack of lyrical substance.”

                “Written with Mental Health Day in mind, Ananya unleashes this Electro pop ode to taking care of yourself and cutting out the things that drag you down. The Zimbabwean pop star delivers the sharp writing with a steady, almost defiant brand of confidence despite the honest vulnerability of the writing and that combination brings this track to life.”

                  “Maddie Regent has a sweet undertone to her vocals, but this track definitely deals with some tough emotions and heavy problems. ‘Sleeptalking’ deals with self-sabotaging and doubt.

                  We’ve all experienced time where we should be happy or content but for whatever reason remain unsatisfied and unsettled. And the questions we then have to ask ourselves is why, and are those feelings warranted? ”

The imagery of this video is as powerful as the writing, and the emotional journey of this track is one that you can feel in every note. Grey is a star, but one that clearly is patient enough to do it her own way.”

                            “Dan Diablo and R3HAB join forces along with NEEKA to create a song that is best described as ABBA meets 2024.

                            The track has both an Electro Pop and House music vibe and the resulting sound is hard not to fall in and sing along with. The beat and production are just as engaging as the vocal performance.

                            A fun track that will put a smile on your face and some sway in those hips. Give ‘Disco Marathon’ a listen and feel the mesh of the 70’s as it blends with the spirit of today.”

                              “Riding a nostalgic 80s vibe at times, Fast Money Music, launches ‘Space Opera’ into orbit, and the fun offering is one with some true gravitational pull.

                              New Wave synths, horns, an indifferent brand of attitude and defiance permeates the entire thing. Unique in all the best ways this track is simply a vibe start to finish.”

                                “The video is visually appealing and will have boys and men alike lined up to watch the obvious attempt to district with sexuality. Musically, the track has obvious talent, but isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel.

                                ’Ask And You Shall Receive’ is pleasing enough in tone and structure, though the song does not offer enough uniqueness or originality to be more than a flash.

                                Overt eye candy aside, this song simply uses a tried and true Pop formula to carve a temporary mark on the musical headboard.”

                                  “You ever been having a good time and the all of a sudden hear a song that gets you emotional? Lunar June’s l-o-v-e is about the thoughts a song can trigger. The visual is simple but cool at the same time. Despite the length of the song this is a cool track.”

                                    That Brunette - birthday boi [Music Review]

                                    “That Brunette gives us a track of nostalgia and societal defiance. An anthem of sorts against the norms, ‘birthday boi’ is about celebrating with that one friend you can be your true self with and forget the world is out there raging around you while you do.

                                    This song lyrically feels like a teen movie from the 80s but the Electro Pop edge is decidedly modern and the combo is a great way to show that some things and emotions never change even if the world around us does. ”

                                      “Temptation lurks in the shadows for us all and Australian songstress, Beks takes on temptation with her latest single, ‘Think About It.’

                                      For me the track is the antitheses of Miley’s hit ‘Flowers.’ the vibe has the same brand of independence though instead of a using that as a brand of revenge this track is about resistance.

                                      The vocal talent and funky groove is pure Pop perfection, and I fully expect to hear this track all over the place in the coming months. ”

                                        “Libby Whitehouse unleashed this energetic Pop track and it is exactly the kind of song that catches fire and goes viral. ‘OMG’ has a catchy hook that we can all song along to and the infectious beat transports us to a different time and place as we lose the world around us for a few minutes.

                                        A fun song to throw your head back and sing along as you move to the beat.”
