Julianna Joy - Nevermind [Review]

December 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Julianna Joy has the kind of voice that is musical all on its own. Powerful, tender, and emotive, the vocals run the show here, but the melody and beat add layers to the tantalizing lyrics, making “Nevermind’ anything, but a passing thought.”

    Corey Durkin - Rest My Bones [Review]

    November 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Folk

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This is a nice road song in the traditional Folk kind of way.

    The heartbeat of Dylan, the bones of Guthrie, the blood type of Kerouac.”

      “True love is a hard time to fight and so is good music. This tracks happens to be good music about the power of true love. The vibe carries a classic Springsteen kind of sound.”

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “We all have that ‘Ghost’ or two that haunts us, but few in this world have the vocal talent on display in this single. The rasp in the voice is perfect for a song that fits in between a true Rock ballad and the Pop melody behind the track.”

          “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. ”

            “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.”

              “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.”

                  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.”

                                  Samuel Jack - In My Head [Review]

                                  October 14, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop

                                  “Samuel Jack captivates with his voice and vocal refrain on such a level, that it is easy to focus there and miss the power of these lyrics. However, ‘In My Head’ delivers an emotional punch in the songwriting department as well.”

                                    Indee Killed the Pop Star x Olivia Knight - Coolest Kid [Review]

                                    “Starting out with sweet vocals and a simple melody, ‘Coolest Kid’ turns dark and dangerous and heavy along the way — which is perfect the lyrics and subject matter.

                                    A pop song that delves almost into a punk vibe, before settling into a heart breaker by the end.”

                                      “A pop song calling out all those delusional souls in this world, who truly think they are something special when their personalities actually reveal them to be more of the dime a dozen variety.

                                      Chloe Lilac’s delivers her truth with an engaging vocal refrain, and lyrics that will make you both smile, nod, and perhaps utter an amen.”
