Roosle - Sundays in Orbit [Review]

August 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Instrumentals, Jazz

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Forget Netflix — what you need is some Roosle and chill.

’Sundays in Orbit’ is an instrumental that brings a kick-back-with-your-feet-up slow vibe, that says ... I got all that I need right this moment, and now I’m gonna sit back and enjoy it.”

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

                  “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.”

                      “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. ”

                                  Ceschi (Feat. Yoni Wolf)- Yoni's Electrocardiographs [Review]

                                  “Powerful and entertaining ... Enlightening and evoking ... this is conscious Hip-Hop at its best!

                                  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. ”

                                      Terez - La. La. La. [Review]

                                      “ 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)

                                        “Summer love can be fleeting, so can summer hits, and this single feels a whole lot like both. So jump into this easy groove and ride it out while the sunshine is warm and the days are still long.”
