Deorro - All This Time [Review]

July 16, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A high energy ode bowing to the desire to turn back the clock and go back in time.

Thumping with a dance groove and a set of lyrics delivered with pop precision, ‘All This Time’ feels like a hit from the first few beats.”

    Loss Cozz - Mamba [Review]

    July 15, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Autotune

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Slithering up on you, ‘Mamba’ is a track that sort of bites you unexpectedly. Some tracks wow you instantly and some are more of a slow burn that leaves you surprised how drawn into the song you got.

    Varying vocals styles persist in this one from Loss Cozz, but still the track builds and builds both musically and lyrically until it wraps up with an almost carnival like sound, leaving you to wonder how exactly the sound got to that point. ”

            Sub-Radio - Room for You [Review]

            July 14, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “‘Room For You’ is a tough single to categorize. The vocals are fun and light and work their way into your ears and down into your brain making you want to move along. The melody varies and carries a hint of an Irish jig at times.

            Overall, this is a song that gets you moving with a perfect performance and a well-written set of lyrics.”

              Sean Stacks - That Realism (#FactsOnly) [Review]

              July 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “I dig the writing and the vocal tone of this track, but I do wish the mix had been tweaked. The backing chant often seems louder than the flow, and for me that was an unnecessary distraction.

              The message here is tight and meaningful, which is why I wish the vocals were brought forward and featured harder. However, these lyrics are so worth hearing that this track makes my worthwhile list just the same.”

                      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.”

                          “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.”

                                    “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.
