offrami, Valleyz, Mougleta, Rotex - Call The Police [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“An intriguing array of voices and a simple but infectious melody hooked me here, before I fully understood the concept of the lyrics. But hey, who hasn’t wanted to see the one they just broke up with carted off to jail, so that side of this track is pretty dope as well.

It is not easy to drop a pop song these days that truly feels unique, but this one hit me that way. There are so many different musical influences at work here that it is a tough single to truly categorize, but the commercial appeal is obvious. Through multiple listens my interest never waned.”

CANTRELL - Gold Roses (Freestyle) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out 5

“ You have to give people their roses while they are still alive. In ‘Gold Roses’ Cantrell not only talks about his journey but the influences he has passed along the way. In this visual he uses the simple poster board to display a time line that led to his success. ‘Gold Roses’ because good or bad every year was golden. ”
