“Kid Travis has a unique voice and it is layered over steady beats. In his new single ‘On My Way’ he gives us a lyric video in a calm yet musical manner. ‘On My Way’ is about longing for someone that you don’t deserve. Even if they push you away you are still driven to want them.”
“This track is a cinematic ode to self love. Yify Zhang is wickedly talented and that shines through in every element of this soft uplifting track.
The lyric video makes it easy to follow along as you let the reassuring words settle in and over you. The musical arrangement soars along to provide an added layer of engagement and is nicely matched to the emotion and message of the track. ”
“Lithuanian DJ Jovani is back with another artful production. Lyrically the track conjures the emotion of striking while the iron is hot. The vocal talent of Jessica Shy is soft and alluring and the beat progression works to build the energy on this track to give it an overall tangibility that makes you want to move and sing along. ”
“It is no secret that Addiction is tough on everyone that loves you. This track comes from the viewpoint of a lover trying to break free from a relationship to save themselves from being pulled down alongside the one that can’t stay clean.
The track utilizes several vocal styles which do a good job of showcasing the various emotions and moods of the distancing process. Lyrically sharp, the lyrics are easy to stay focused in on, and to sing along with. It’s not a happy song, but one of true emotion with a hint of jaded bitterness to make it truly feel real.”
“This tracks bare and stripped back vocals hooked me early on. I listened in the way you watch a story unfold on the street, that you perhaps are not supposed to see, because the nature of this track is slightly voyeuristic in that it feels like an intimate conversation between friends.
The Electro Pop vibe is subdued and the track progresses with that one single voice doing the heavy, emotional lifting. Though the track does have enough splashes production wise, to elevate it above the artsy status and give it just a hint of commercial flair.”
“Its one thing to rock with a song based on the energy and vibe it gives but its another when its a lyric video. City the Mask brings us Blap. Which in his definition is an aggressive, in-your-face, trap, rap single. This single will having you jumping and screaming and rocking out to it. ”
“Punk is not dead.
There are a lot of bands that can bring the punk sound, but far too few that truly capture the intelligent defiance that once upon a time defined the genre.
The Duplo have captured that brand of rebellion here with a hard-charged melody, beat, and spot-on vocals delivering a direct yet meaningful set of lyrics. Coming out of Finland, this is a band with something to say, and the the bad ass chops to say it with fire and fury.”
“An interesting track that brings a mysterious ethereal aura to the singer/songwriter vibe. The two voices bend and intertwine to extrapolate the emotions of the lyrics quite well. This is the kind of track that you can listen to dozens of times and still unearth subtle nuances you previously missed.
The lyric video that accompanies the track is simple yet captivating and it is easy to get lost digesting these lyrics.”
“This is a song about the frayed edges of a bad relationship as it finally unravels for good.
The songwriting feels real and true, and the vocals hit me as Kacey Musgraves with more emotion and less defiance. ”
“Kyle Richardson is a smooth Pop crooner delivering a gift for all those in that sugary sweet phase of falling in love this Christmas season. This track is a pure pop love track that is perfect for your holiday dedications.”
“Okay, I will ‘Admit It,’ MIDLO delivers a pop triumph in this single. It begins with a muffled sound almost as if it were recorded underwater, but that dynamic is brief and then the track explodes and the vocals take on a variety of styles to deliver an emotional set of lyrics detailing the frustration of being toyed with in a relationship. ”
“The unique sound hits you first, and given the fact Sidhant Seth is a unique talent with a variety of vocal skills and talents, that is to be expected.
There is a reoccurring shift in the melody that originally threatened to shake me out of the groove, but after a number of listens, I found myself enjoying the change in sound more and more.”
“KARLI’s vocals perfectly capture the Pop sound, and the lyrics of ‘Running For My Life’ do a great job of showcasing her ability to emote and parlay emotion, into a variety of vocal sounds.”
“Relationships are rarely ‘Easy’ and this track captures the hopes, fears, ups, downs and insecurities of that dynamic in Electro Pop glory. A fun track with true depth as well.”
“This track is one for anybody that has had to sit idly by and watch the one they love run through a series of bad relationships.
An anthem for the friend-zoned, ‘Wasting Time’ has a relevance that will speak loudly for many.”
“A glorious pop anthem for the dysfunctional relationship. Modern love can be a trap when it’s not right, and this single does a great job of showcasing those emotions in an entertaining, harmonic groove.”
“With a sound that hints of punk and 90s alternative, The Brookes launch their single ‘Spaceship Rodeo’ which is captivating at liftoff, even before you get into the smart, ethereal quality of the lyrics.
This kind intelligent indie rock is a throwback in many ways as it captures the best sounds of yore, while still feeling fresh, smart, and cutting edge.”
“Bold and defiant ‘No Limit’ deploys a fast flow and a direct set of lyrics that challenge and enlighten. The accent adds to the attitude of the single and the chorus is sung with emotion and intrigue. ”
“I hear many musical influences here, Elle King, Amy Winehouse, Adele ... but TAELA stands out as a talent no matter which influence seeps in at the the moment.
’Bang’ has that commercial sound that often finds audiences across multi genres and demographics. I can see this one becoming a track played loud and proud in many, many places this summer.”
“Don’t be fooled by the catchy pop melody and sugar sweet vocals ... this is a dark twisted tale of revenge motivated by a broken heart.
AND I LIKE IT!”
