Philippa - before goodbye [Review]

May 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Commercial, Music, Indie Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Honest and raw. Philippa gives us not an anti love song, but rather a song about the yearning sadness that seeing and hearing others in love can bring on after a heartbreak.

’Before Goodbye’ is a beautifully performed testament to the lasting power love gone bad has over us all at times.”

    Dinley Jones - Fire [Review]

    May 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Funk, Commercial, Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Call it commercial fun.

    Call it Funk Pop.

    Call it whatever you want want, but Dinley Jones has found ‘Fire’ with his new single. It is impossible not to move and singalong to this one, so just give in to the flames and feel the ‘Fire.’”

      Daniel Simmons - Body [Review}

      May 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “‘Body’ is a well-written song about the depression and unattached feelings that can overwhelm us in these social media crazed times.

      Offering punk like vocals and a pop melody this is a single that delivers far more than a fun groove and commercial sound.

      It delivers truth.”

        “Ariane calls out the social media generation with an emotional plea for that urges for for authenticity and genuineness from all of us. ‘Fake Generation’ offers smooth and alluring vocals over a dark, moody melody and in this construction, the tracks perfectly mimics the lyrics. ”

          “Alluring vocals and a steady bass beat catch your attention right away, and lyrically this one taunts and engages.

            Grayson Ty - Back to Us [Review]

            May 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Electro Pop, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Riding pure pop vibes, ‘Back To Us’ modernizes an 80s sound that at times feels like vintage Michael Jackson. But while his influences are clear, Grayson Ty’s talent stands out without relying too heavily on nostalgia.

            This single is all about the emotion of trying to get back to that sweet spot in a relationship once it has hit the rocks.”

              “A teasing drop that eludes just long enough, before giving you exactly what you want.

                “Parachute begins with a jump straight into a vintage, bad-girl rock sound, but then the chute opens and we glide into some good old funk. The contrast is wonderful, making this a single worth floating along for.”

                            “Love is a complicated game, and ‘Go Have Fun At Your Party’ nails the emotion of a relationship that isn’t quite right, but is close enough that it is hard to let go.

                            It is the kind of song that brings out that old heartache, misguided hope, and tarnished love that we’ve all been part of.

                            It is the kind of song that is real, and raw, and allows us all to understand we are not alone in these experiences.”

                                “It is perhaps ironic that a well-written song about addiction is ... well addicting, but thus is the case with The Sweet Kill’s latest single ‘Powerless.’

                                The songwriting here is not complex or subtle, but it is engaging and honest and it doing so it speaks directly of a problem that appears easy to solve but never is.

                                This is music that captures a slice of the human condition perfectly well. ”

                                  “Bordering on Punk, both in sound and sensibilities, ‘Gum’ bursts the bubble on fun in this well-written diatribe.

                                  Delagoon is fed up and they want the world to know it!”

                                    “Damian Lynn has given us a single that hooks you with an immediate urgency. And yet, the track also makes you ‘Wait’ just as the title suggests.

                                    The melody does a masterful job of playing off the emotion of the lyrics and that pleading bridge arrives at the perfect time to add to the strong feelings of this one. ”

                                      “Dear Diary,

                                      To be a princess is every girls dream. To be the princess of Compton is far from a dream but a reality for artist Azjah. With a strong force and team behind her Azjah drops her debut album “Princess Diaries”. The 12 track album includes two familiar tracks “Spotlight” and “Time for it” but also gives you insight of her daily life and experience so instead of reading her diary just take a listen. ”

                                        “The euphoria of newfound love or lust can sweep away all else, but this song adds a menacing quality to that sensation with a subtle warning like message that the euphoria will never last.

                                        Haunting vocals and a varied melody quicken the heart as it sinks in that these feelings just won’t last. ”
