James Bay - Bad [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“The heartbreak is so palpable in this raw emotional single that to steal a line from the lyrics. you can feel every drop of our our narrator ‘bleeding out.’
Real genuine emotion beats at the heart of Bay’s delivery in this finely written song about trying to move on after picking up the shards.”
DAVIE - Flavor [Review]
“Go ahead and sit still while listening to this one. I dare you to try.
Yeah, I couldn’t do it either, because this single has that ... Juice.
If I am honest, and I always am when it comes to music, I have no idea what is actually being sang in the chorus. But I don’t care.Because the beat makes me happy and the flavor of this one is just pure fun.”
SHEE - Fool [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“There is something to be said about a good revenge song, because the raw emotion truly shines when the artist has something to say to those who have done them wrong.
’Fool’ is just such a single, and the varied vocal delivery, and razor sharp lyrics call out past transgressions in perfect pop glory. ”
Kill Paris - Venus Fly Trap [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Nature comes with its own rhythm, and in ‘Venus Fly Trap,’ Kill Paris has tapped into that with a track complete with more changes than a cross-country bus trip.
True to the inspiration, this is a single that catches your attention time and time again.”
GHASSAN - Keep On Dancing [Review]
Rating: 5 out of 5
“Grit, emotion, and funky dance-abilty.
Ghassan has laid down a single that is all of the above which makes it extremely hard to classify for those who like to color between the lines.
However, ‘Keep on Dancing’ is a magical anthem for those who like to cross the line with style. Blues, Rock, Americana, all with a sick, bass-filled dance groove. Yep, It’s all here.”
Zaryah - Youdofuckingyou [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“It is amazing how a well-written song can emotionally sum things up, and this pop tune certainly does that.
The title of the single does the job of setting the stage, but give these alluring vocals and wryly, smart lyrics a listen and you will be hard pressed, not to join in by the second chorus.”
Elliot Lee - Upside Down [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Elliot Lee hooks you with her haunting voice and holds you with lyrics that twist and turn ‘Upside Down’ a coupe of times.
The drum roll, and fluid, yet ever-changing melody speak of a meticulous attention to perfection on the production side.”

Rating: 4 out of 5
“In a testament to both great songwriting and a genuine emotional delivery, I was able to put myself in the shoes ... errr, make that prom dress, of our would-be party girl and feel every last emotion of this experience.
This is the power of good music ... which transports us back in time, beyond our own experiences, and to emotional places of empathy and understanding. ”

Chris O'Bannon - "Sauce Meets World 2" [Album Review]
“We packed our headphones and decided to take a trip to “Sauce The World”. “Sauce The World” started off a little watery with a few track skipping but before we knew it we were turning the volume up as the album started dripping with sauce. Chris O’Bannon raps about whatever the fuck he wants to but that is what brings so much sauce to this album.”
Jenny Kern - Carousel [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

Weslynn - Strangers [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Straightforward lyrics with a guitar-charged melody. The overall sound falls somewhere between Americana and Rock and Roll, but genre isn’t really important when the music is this good.
’Strangers’ is the kind of tune that you find yourself signing along with the chorus by the second time through.”
Izo FitzRoy - Slim Pickings [Review]

“Head nodding funk with a smile.
That is what this old-school treasure brings to your ears with a groove that will get you moving, and soulful vocals that are pure funk. A 70s vibe and lyrics that ring true in a modern dating world. Get down to ‘Slim Pickings.’”
