Kevin Bowe & The Okemah Prophets - Deaf Ears [Review]

July 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Straight-up rock with a hard-edged guitar melody and the steady drum beat to lead us down a path that feels like one that Springsteen, Dylan, and Neil Young have forged through the undergrowth.”

    Millé feat Malou Prytz - All good [Review]

    July 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “Pure pop magic!

    A great blend of voices highlights a steady melodic beat, and lyrically ‘All Good’ resonates well as it conveys the emotions of a relationship strained by distance.”

      JAC - THICK [Review]

      July 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Feeling like a throwback to the 80s. ‘Thick’ is a blend of Bruno Mars funk with lyrics that could have been written by like Sir Mix-a-Lot.

      This is a fun party song that got under my skin in all the right ways.”

        Caroline Kole - Missing Each Other [Review]

        July 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Caroline Kole’s talented voice brings out the emotions of a complicated relationship.

        Sometimes there is a connection to another that we can’t really explain. One thin thread of attachment amid a bunch of confusion as you struggle to decide if this person is the one for you. ‘Missing Each Other’ captures these sentiments with stupendous, pop glory.”

            “Building from a quiet place, ‘Taking It’s Toll’ explodes at the chorus. The passion and emotion is real and tangible making this the kind of song best listened to with a reflective and solitary mindset so you can truly feel every word.”

              Lucy Clearwater - Feel Again [Review]

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

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “Show me a glimpse of something wonderful ... so sings Lucy Clearwater in an early verse of her single ‘Feel Again.’ Taking that line to heart, Clearwater gives us far more than a glimpse of the wonderful with this slow and soft lullaby to love and longing.

              Beautifully sang and written the song captures that hope and yearning in perfect balance between performance and melody.”

                Mary Moore - Reaching in the Dark [Review]

                “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.”

                        “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.

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

                                  “A jazzed-up banger with attitude!

                                  Pop in the earbuds, hit play, and stroll through the city streets with some cocksure swagger as this one pumps up your every step.”

                                    “Reminding me a bit of John Mellencamp, Jonny Morgan delivers ‘Your Touch’ amid classic guitar riffs to give the world a song of love and longing.

                                    Want to send your desire a love song that isn’t too mushy when they are away? This is the track for you.”

                                      “If Dylan and The Stones had a baby, and hired Tom Waits as a nanny ... I imagine that kid would grow up to sound a lot like this band.

                                      Oh Reach utilizes varying vocals and well-written lyrics that inspire you to both think and feel. ”
