Mary Moore - Reaching in the Dark [Review]

July 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Rock, Indie Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“What begins with haunting sweet vocals, morphs into an energetic promise to herself that resonates well with anyone who has ever taken a leap of faith.

The first few verses have a decidedly singer/songwriter vibe and the latter half brings more of a pop sound, but the continuity of the song is never in question.”

    “Retro is both sound and lyrical content, Scott Yoder pays homage to Hollywood with ‘Silver Screen Starlet.’ Funky and weird it brings out our infatuation with a fantasy world.”

      ATLiens - Fading Out (feat. Sarah Skinner) [Review]

      July 24, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Dubstep

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “The vocals pull you in with a haunting allure.

      The lyrics hold you with intrigue and a tinge of sadness.

      And the drop explodes to punctuate the whole damn thing with a glorious splendor of bass.”

          Music P & Marque Aurel - Never Again [Review]

          July 24, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop, Music

          Rating: 3 out of 5

          “With a soft yet energetic tone Music P & Marque Aurel delivers an electro pop feeling in the new single Never Again. This track comes off as mysterious but yet energetic. ”
          — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

          Never Again is a Deep House ballad for the hurt ones, the lovesick. You’re invited to dive into the smoothness of australian singer & songwriter Eddy Pop’s vocals on a Class A Chillout Housemusic production. His piercing melodic voice has ears tuning in and wanting more. Beach, Couch, Car and Headphones, wherever you’re listening to this, it’ll take you somewhere else.

                “With just enough gravel to his vocals, Philippe Bronchtein delivers a heartfelt song about the long perilous road that is life — which for most of us holds far more gravel than his voice.

                The emotion is real and true and the guitar melody played to perfection.”

                                “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.”

                                    “With a little reggae tune to assist the R&B vocals Benny Bizzie delivers his new single “More” a song that will get you dancing and jamming. ”

                                    Benny Bizzie performs 'More' the 2nd single from his forthcoming EP. Produced by Cee Figz More is s a feel-good, summer R&B song with a Afro beat flavour.

                                      “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.”
