NIGHT TRAVELER - 1984 (Native) [Review]

April 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

Rating: 5 out of 5

“This song put me back in a car traveling down a long dark stretch of highway. I could feel the grip of that steering wheel and the longing in my heart. The emotion is carried by strong vocals and the delicately beautiful instrumentation. Perhaps not every listener will have a shared experience, but the artfulness of a well-written song, performed flawlessly, gives you the chance to know how it feels just the same.”

    “The hammer of the keyboard is the heartbeat of this melody, but the vocals are drenched with emotion and not store-bought melodrama, but genuine feelings that permeate every line delivered.”

          “Szandra Mayer has unique vocals with a soft tone. ‘Never Really Good Enough’ is a perfect Girl Power play list song”
          — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

          A NEW R&B SONG FROM THIS AMAZING YOUNG SINGER! SZANDRA MAYER releases her third song NEVER REALLY GOOD ENOUGH Very talented and super young music artist, singer/songwriter SZANDRA MAYER has just released her third song titled NEVER REALLY GOOD ENOUGH, at the age of still only 11 years old. Szandra’s first song PARADISE had some impressive global success as a few weeks after its release thousands of radio stations around the world picked up the song and it charted on the Global DRT Top 50 POP category for quite a few weeks. Szandra’s second song NEVER EVER also climbed up the DRT charts and charted at #118 on the GLOBAL DRT TOP 200. And now here we go again, Szandra’s third song has just been released! We couldn’t be more excited! After the first two, Euro Pop influenced songs, this song of hers, NEVER REALLY GOOD ENOUGH is an R&B flavored melody. And what a melody! The song’s professionally made music video was produced in a fairy tale-like park in South Florida and it is an artsy take on Szandra’s amazing song.

                Wish I Was - Ready To Start (feat. Kara Kuper) [Review]

                April 16, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Commercial, Indie Pop, Pop, Music

                Rating: 5 out of 5

                “This smooth, commercial tune could stand on its own merit, but beyond it so-called ‘entertainment legs,’ this track comes with a story of hope and dreams.

                All proceeds from ‘Ready To Start’ will go toward assisting the Make-A-Wish foundation fulfill dreams of kids all over the world. Knowing this adds poignancy to the lyrics and takes a nice pop tune and turns it into an emotionally charged ode to the innocent fighters battling their way back. But not even that fact is the best part of this story.

                In celebration of World Wish Day, April 29, Los Angeles-via-Australia electronic music producer Wish I Was (aka tyDi) has teamed up with 18-year-old wish kid Kara Kuper on the beautiful and inspiring “Ready To Start.” It was Kara’s wish to record a song. Being a big fan of Make-A-Wish, Wish I Was was happy to make Kara’s wish come true. Wish I Was secured time at Universal Music’s recording studio and enlisted the help of professional songwriters. In February 2019, Kara flew in from Chagrin Falls, Ohio to start work on the song. The completed song was chosen as the soundtrack for the new Make-A-Wish PSA as part of the 2019 World Wish Day campaign. World Wish Day will be celebrated throughout the month of April, kicking off with the launch of the PSA featuring “Ready To Start” on April 3.

                World Wish Day helps bring attention to the significant role a wish plays in a child’s medical treatment. Research shows that a wish can help kids build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness– an eye-opening finding in light of the fact that Make-A-Wish is currently only able to reach one out of every two potentially eligible children in the U.S.

                The PSA, created by TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles, stars Make-A-Wish kids and alumni whose wishes to be an astronaut, dinosaur, mermaid, football player, cowgirl and firefighter served as a catalyst for hope and healing. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/D3gkXY1dhCo

                Wishes are an important part of a child’s medical treatment. They can give kids the strength to fight, to get better. ”

                  “This genre bending single carries a universal message without resorting to petty commentary making it stand out in the crowded field of break up songs.

                  Nice simple emotion carries this track, and a melody that offers several surprises along the way fuels this winning release from Marcus James.”

                        “Piano, bass, hi-hats and much more is what you are in for in Link Lewis’s song “Beat Down.” With an eclectic mix of instrumentals, Lewis perfectly tops it off with his soulful and velvety voice. He writes from the heart with lyrics like “I’ve been feeling beat down/ just let it go..” tapping into our insecurities and urging us to take a deep breath and move on. With an increase in mental health issues amongst young adults, songs like these are important. The gyrating tempo and rhythmic beats create a positive sound that matches its uplifting lyrics. This is a good one.”

                            “With a decidedly British sound from the first beat ‘The Carousel’ feels like it belongs on the soundtrack to a James Bond movie.

                            Intriguing and alluring vocals add a mysterious element to this cat and mouse game between a would-be couple.
                            Production is top notch and just when you think you are settled in for a smooth ride the track surprises in delightful ways.”

                              Sweet mournful vocals accompany this well-written song of longing. The piano and strings are the perfect accompaniment to this voice.

                              Fleeting describes much of life and Peridot has captured it oh so well with this release.”

                                “This light and airy melody makes it hard to sit still, and combined with a fun set of lyrics this single will have you signing along .

                                Where Is Kobi?

                                We can all hope back in the studio recording another fun Pop hit for the world to hear.”

                                  “A description like ... ‘Soft vocals with an edge,’ sounds like an oxymoron, but Liv Dawson pulls off exactly that with Pushing 21. A decidedly commercial offering, this single infuses enough emotion and commonality to engage listeners.”

                                    “Dive in because the water is thumping in this ‘Sharktank.’ Lyrics razor sharp and a ragged delivery that brings out the emotion. A track with some real splash.”

                                        “This one truly does get soaked up in your brain. Smooth alluring vocals and a nice easy groove carry a set of vocals that say more than you would assume at first listen. ”
