Betty Moon - Runaway [Review]

November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Sinister yet alluring, Betty Moon’s vocals are like that first sip of whisky on the night you know you’re going to drink way too much.

Foreboding yet evocative, ‘Runaway’ is the kind of track that feels timeless in its appeal and razor sharp attitude. ”

    Mike Kiddoo - What If [Review]

    November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Toss a single from the dearly departed Prince into a blender, along with a funky refrain from Jamiroqui and the smoothie you’d be grooving to afterward would sound a lot like, ‘What If,’ which is Mike Kiddoo’s latest single.”

      Jane Holiday - Pocket Dial [Review]

      November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Lyrics that made me sit up and pay attention. That is the foremost thing I can say about Jane Holiday’s single “Pocket Dial.’

      The performance is solid, if a bit predictable, but that is not necessarily a bad thing as I remained focused on unraveling the emotion of the words.”

        “Has the America Dream became nothing more than a ‘Pipe Dream?’

        Arson Daily asks this question with a intriguing lyrics and a nice Indie Rock vibe. Engaging guitar driven melody and tantalizing vocals carry this track. ”

          VIVIE ANN - Loverboy [Review]

          November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “A kick ass vocal edge slices through convention on this track detailing the lustful pursuit of our heroine on the prowl for the right ‘Loverboy’ to quell her needs.

          This is a track that turns the usual trope on its head and explores sexual roles in these modern times. The track has a James Bond vibe, but this time the debonair fellow is powerless next to the femme fatale.”

            “Intricate songwriting, and vocals that engage on every level, are at the forefront of this single.

                                  “A sensual love song, delivered with a raspy smoothness that showcases the emotion of the lyrics very well.

                                  This is the kind of song played as the first dance at weddings, or repeatedly by those falling in love.”

                                    “Letting go is tough to do, and sometimes it hurts more to see the other person let go too fast. This track takes those emotions and distills them down to a heartfelt Indie ode to that pain and frustration. The vocals are laced with heartache and the simply melody works well in tandem. ”

                                      “A nice, calm vibe that provides a smooth and mellow reminder that sometimes we need to walk and talk within ourselves.

                                      A musical reboot for the soul.”

                                        Hannah Connolly - From Where You Are [Review]

                                        “Soft. Tender. Poignant.

                                        These three words are a great place to start in describing Hannah Connolly’s single, ‘From Where You Are.’

                                        Hints of Dolly can be heard in moments of the vocals, but beyond that soft vibration there is an emotional connectivity more in line with Jewel. This combination gives Hannah a unique sound all of her own, to go along with stellar songwriting that is layered with emotion and complexity.”
