Cavalcade - Twisted Paradise [Review]

July 19, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Pure mood and emotion, ‘Twisted Paradise’ is the kind of song that reveals much in the melody alone. Layer in a beautiful set of vocals, and lyrics drenched with revelations about the fragility of dreams and hopes and this song has true resonance for us all.”

      Geena Fontanella - TRIP [Review]

      July 18, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Geena Fontanella certainly does not ‘TRIP’ with her latest release.

      An ode to the hardships of dating in a world of big egos, asinine takes, and braggadocios bravado — the words ring all-too-true.

      This is a the kind of track you can sing along too, while you praise the lyrics as the gospel of a modern world.”

        “Dripping with a pure California vibe, ‘Slow Fallin’ is both a retro groove, and a modern take on the sand and palm trees that serve as imagery for the laid back spirit of the West Coast.”

            “Straight up. When you’re talking top shelf — be it liquor or music — you don’t need a bunch of unnecessary stuff tossed into the mix. ‘Ghost’ is the kind of track that proves that with a straight-up beat, and a steady linear flow that hits with truth and passion and an underlying wisdom. All without any fancy embellishments.”

              “Tight songwriting and a steady flow propel this ode to self forward with each beat.

              The melody is lifted up by guitar licks giving this one a mainstream vibe without sacrificing its edge.”

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

                  “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. ”

                          “‘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.”

                            “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.”

                                “This is the soundtrack to anyone that has ever had their very own Stage 5 Clinger.

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

                                  “A track that sadly relates for many, but the fact is, people suck sometimes. This track calls them out with a fun, pop romp that doesn’t hold back.”

                                    “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.”
