Shaylen - "BTW" {Review]

April 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“I imagine this as the post break-up anthem of pissed off women the world over. The funny thing is as a man I couldn’t help but listen to this track over and over and with each listen I found myself grinning and digging the groove as well as the sultry vocals. The lyrics surprised me at times and I loved the no punches pulled vibe of this one. ”

    Hanibal Luna - "Ella" [Review]

    April 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “The best of music enlightens and heightens who we are by tapping into shared emotions. Ella does all of those things while allowing us a heartfelt walk in the shoes of another. This is music that speaks to the soul delivered in a powerfully gruff voice that gives you all the feels. And the video brings the lyrics into a gripping reality. The simply haunting guitar melody adds to the mix to give this song a haunting quality that sticks to your heart for a long time afterward. ”

        Harrison Sands - "Empty Conversation" ft. Dylan Montayne [Review]

        April 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The ironic thing about Empty Conversation is that it is a track full of surprises. I dig the smooth R&B backing and the vocals are catchy enough to keep me listening to every word. The Bridge comes in with a whole other vibe and the song just feels like life. No, you don;t know what to expect next, but you are grooving along so you are willing to find out. ”

          “A nice groove and lyrics that entice from the first listen, but offer more with subsequent plays. The vocals are smooth and carry just enough longing and pain to make the emotion of the song stick with you. ”

              “This one feels like a summer hit. Infectious melody and a catchy chorus carry it through but the bridge keeps it interesting as well. Immediately feels like a song you’ve heard before in all the best ways, and its impossible not to sway to the beat and sing along.”

                  “There is no denying a beat that can make you bob your head is a good one. Bennett A.K, a young rapper from Jakarta, Indonesia, does just this in his new song “Mirror Mary Boogeyman.” His pop culture references and heavy bass, catch on to the trap style popular in today’s rap scene. His infectious chorus (“Mary let me see you lamb, post it up on instagram..”) are bound to get stuck in your head and show up on your social media captions. ”

                    Vetle Forsell - "Strange Clouds" [Review]

                    April 03, 2019 by BGiraldo in Music, Folk
                    “Most folk music beckons listeners to reflect upon woes and take us to a somewhat melancholic, yet serene, state of mind. We might think of something we have lost or are trying to find meaning in––realtionships, friendships or even just not knowing where life is taking you. Vetle Forsell’s “Strange Clouds,” aims to take us to this place of introspection. Originally from Norway, Forsell is heavily influenced by bands like Pink Floyd and Sufjan Stevens. The gentle crooning and steady acoustics compel listeners to float around, as he talks to us about these everchanging “strange clouds.” However dreamy the song may be, Forsell is far from being aloof. His lyrics imply a person grappling with self-realization. Definitely worth a listen to those who revel in indie-folk and a good pondering of life.”

                              “Juno Francis gets listeners up and ready to move to this upbeat track full of rhythm an electronic vibes. This Berlin-based duo takes us along with them through a journey into the night. With glittery eyes and chunky boots, you can live it up on the dancefloor with a song like this. With lyrics like” come and follow me into the night..” and “come on dance with me, show me electricity..” Francis entices us to join in to the fun. It is an undeniably catchy song with a mesmerizing effect. Reminiscent of an early Justice sound, we escape into a realm of cascading synths and echoing vocals. ”
