Commercial pop vibes drip from this well-written song about what happens when affection is completely one-sided. ”

“The steady horn bass line ties this one together, but what I like most is the varying melodies and changes.
Lucky Chops is actually based in New York City, but this track personally reminds me of my days strolling through New Orleans with the scent of Chicory hanging in the air and the energy of the city surrounding me.”
“A little soul, a little funk, old school rock vocals, and a set of lyrics that speak a truth.
We have all searched for that pot of gold, but ‘There Ain’t No Fountain.’ There is however, good music to get us all by, and this single — is good music.”
“Unlike the namesake super car, Isaac Dunbar’s ‘Ferrari’ starts slow. That is not to say the single is not engaging, but rather builds from a quiet place into a supercharged anthem.
Distorted vocals and emotion push the gas on this ode to reputation and rumor. The hard guitar riffs highlight the haunting edge of the lyrics.”
“Really dig the jazz opening and the piano is dope throughout. Often autotune makes it tough to stand out as unique, but ‘Money On The Way’ avoids that by changing up the flow with verses that are sang with autotune and a direct rap flow. The writing is sharp and overall this is a solid single worth listening to over and over again.”
“Folk Yeah!
A sprinkle of Prine, a dash of Dylan, a hint of Guthrie ... the final recipe is damn sure satisfying, but the flavors of the past are evident in every bite. Sit down and savor this one and welcome Dante Mazzetti to your ears.”

Plenty of bounce and swagger. ”
“Pure SUMMER PARTY! vibes to set the mood for your next soiree!
Drink in hand, hanging with friends, music lighting up the background. This is the tune for that.”
“Delivering an interesting structure to keeps this track fresh from start to finish, Toronto’s Nanu Aldina raps about his fulfillment as an artist, over the top of hard beats before switching up the flow by singing an extremely intimate chorus.
The combination of soft melody and heavy rap flows work well to deliver a set of lyrics you can dig into.”
“The piano intro hooked me before the first vocal, but the emotion of the delivery comes through thanks to a delivery style that is raw and honest.”
“Fun summer jam, and hey, we are all as rich as we feel we are.
This is a track to get you up and moving and it carries a groove that feels like sunshine on your face.”
“Reminds me of a power ballad of the 90s, from artists like Joan Osborne.
Lyrically ‘Shitty Tattoo’ sings out as the rallying cry of generation that has hit the wall between hope, energy and homesick nostalgia, but this song is well-written enough to pull emotion from anyone who has ever made a bad decision or three. ”
“True, hard hitting lyrics delivered in a meaningful flow and a touching chorus. This is one of those songs that will have different meaning for different people, but the magic of such writing is that it is widely relevant, and speaks to many. ”

Bootleg Rascal has given us a track that is all at once ... Indie Rock, Hip-Hop, and Funk. The result is fantastic fun! ”
“Parts of the vocals reminded me of Elton John while other parts show influence from songwriters like Tom Waits. Then there is the 70s influenced melody that at times made me think of the Eagles.

Conjuring thoughts of Elton John and Billy Joel, this retro sound drops a new single that speaks to a new generation through fresh lyrical content.”
