    Yes Please - New Friends [Review]

    August 29, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “I like this one for the truths it drops. Basically calling out people for a variety of bullshit, this is a track that reminds us all, not to take everything so serious.

    With a steady beat and a vocals that stay within themselves, this song relies on simplicity to deliver the goods.”

      “An alluring friendly voice is the key to this vocal performance, which feels honest and intimately familiar.

      This one feels like a conversation with a friend and it held me close to the emotion right from the start.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Riding a banging beat , ‘Flxn’ takes sharp, clever lyrics and blends them with a rock solid flow to bang out a single that is indeed flexing plenty of muscle. At under two minutes, my only wanton wish is for a few more verses.”

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Nice and easy, this is a flow that you fall into with no effort. Like a conversation with a friend. Which is contrast to the lyrical content which focus on being misunderstood. This contrast is a great metaphor for how we often feel alone even when surrounded by others, because it is rare for people to understand how you are truly feeling on the inside.”

                “I do love when music delivers true emotion, straight and direct, and that is what Peyton Gilliland does with “Drag Me Under.’ Lyrics with meaning, and a vocal performance that starts tender and vulnerable, before exploding with anger and defiance. Creation and performance mesh to form a great song.”

                          “A steady pace, delivered on the slower side was the perfect choice to unleash this set of lyrics about being on the ‘Run.’ The irony compliments the words on one level, but also helps emphasizes the subtle point that sometimes running becomes a lifelong thing you can’t quite escape.”

                              “GRAACE has the kind of voice that both pierces and unarms and ‘21st Century Love’ utilizes this tone to showcase the emotion of being stuck in your head.

                              Lyrically it is not a complex song, but the nuance of the performance and a steady beat make the single an engaging listen.”

But hey, who hasn’t wanted to see the one they just broke up with carted off to jail, so that side of this track is pretty dope as well.

                                It is not easy to drop a pop song these days that truly feels unique, but this one hit me that way. There are so many different musical influences at work here that it is a tough single to truly categorize, but the commercial appeal is obvious. Through multiple listens my interest never waned.”

                                  Keeana Kee - Let's Make Love [Review]

                                  “The comparisons to Shakira are unmistakable, but Keeana Kee brings her own sultry vibe as well, and ‘Let’s make Love’ hits the ears like an illicit rendezvous.

                                  Sexy and intriguing, this song pulls you in and makes you forget the outside world for a little while.”

                                    “Sometimes you just gotta say it straight and direct. Poloneius Pluck is the ‘Bossman’ here as he deliver his truth, his confidence, and his mantra for the world. The reggae vibe gives a good contrast and takes this one to another level.”

                                      “The vocals contain this ragged edge that immediately grabs your attention before the chorus delves into a bit of funk. Both of which adds a level of intrigue to a guitar melody and set of lyrics that resonate by showcasing the drudgery we all face.

                                      Rock on, Coqui. Rock on.”
