Violet LaVelle - I Gotta Know [Review]

August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Sassy and fun. An anthem for all the bold ladies out there.

Belted out with old school soul, ‘I Gotta Know’ is a take charge ode to approaching the sexiest man in the room. And Violet LaVelle does it with style.”

    Dubkiller - Keep It Moving [Review]

    August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Driven by an inescapable beat, and funk melody, ‘Keep It Moving’ will do exactly that. The vocal play is mostly inconsequential here, but it is enough to keep you engaged and grooving along to the ever-changing beats.”

      EMM - Peachy [Review]

      August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Aggressive songwriting, and sultry in -your-face vocals make this one ripe for your listening.

      ’Peachy’ brings the IDGAF vibe straight to your ears. An anthem for those who truly don’t care what others have to say.”

        Skyler Stonestreet - Everything It Wasn't [Review]

        August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Sometimes writing is everything, and ‘Everything It Wasn’t’ is that type of single. That is not to say Skyler Stonestreet does not turn in a talented performance because her voice conveys the emotions flawlessly, but having something so true to sing, is the standout feature of this single.

        A comparison to Taylor Swift is inevitable, because this is the kind of song and performance she has rode to success, and now, Skyler Stonestreet, brings that same passion with her own unique vibe. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Straight spittin’ flow with life!

          Sometimes it’s nice to hear a flow that drops true and direct without unnecessary smoke and mirrors. Layer in lyrics that say it and vocals that deliver and the result is pure entertainment. I am on board! ”

            “With a beat that mimics the thump of a racing heart, ‘Talk To Me’ brings an edge to falling in love — or at least lust.

            An alluring single that pays homage with a sound that hints at the 80s at times, yet still feels very contemporary as well.”

                “Regret is a powerful emotion and this single taps into that with a raw, unfiltered approach.

                Reflecting on the ‘what ifs’ of a failed relationship, Hanna Searl imagines what things might look like ‘In Another Life’ with soft, haunting vocals that touch the heart.”

                  “In this thriller of a visual Dalton Jackson sings about be at a low point while he is being murdered. The symbolism displays that you really aren’t at your low point until you are on your death bed.”

                    Words of passion, anger, heart, and drive are delivered atop a soothing melody which stands in contrast with the world we live in. And yet, there are always moments of hope and light and good. This song captures it all. ”

                      “Inspired by her firsthand experience of witnessing a murder in a broad daylight, Tess Posner’s single ‘New Angels,’ is as dark, moody, and emotionally provocative as you would imagine any art inspired by such a heinous act would be. Still there is beauty is the pain and here the melody and beat get out of the way and let the vocals do the lifting on this ethereal journey. ”

                        “ Loving someone is hard. When you do and that love is loss the start of starting over not only causes fear but it causes you to not have faith in love anymore. If you have experienced this then you can relate to Terez new single La. La. La. ”
                        — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

                        "“La. La. La.” is pure pop magic, starting with shimmering production and echoing finger snaps. We’re introduced to Terez in the midst of heartbreak, vivid images of tear-stained pillows filling the lyrics. Terez’s voice is perfect for pop, with a killer range and the ability to really drill into the emotion on any given word. This pairs well with her songwriting, which delivers a wide range of emotions." - Gabriel Aikins (Substream Magazine)

                                “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’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.”

                                    “Pouty indignation infused wtih a California punk sound!

                                    Because sometimes, you just need a fun, straightforward song to get you moving.”

                                      “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.”

                                        “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.”
