Mia Vaile - Chasing California [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“California has long been associated with the idea of chasing Golden Dreams, but for anyone eager to take that leap, there comes an underlying fear of failure.

Mia Vaile captures that trepidation with her dark and gritty track, ‘Chasing California.’ The vocal performance is haunting and beautiful, and a touch sorrowful, while the beat and production qualities of the track bring out the emotion with build perfectly instep with Indie Electronic genre. ”

Hovzter - Left Me Broken (Remix by Dachaio & JAGGE) [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A tender vulnerable voice launches in from the beginning and it is in the softness of that voice that the emotional attachment first forms. The production here is subtle but a perfect match to the performance and lyrics. The beat is as gripping as the vocal tone making this a complete track that you will want to listen to over and over gain because the vulnerability of the song is one that we can all relate to unfortunately and this mix does a masterful job of making us feel every nuance. ”
