Khris Moore - Heartless [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A smooth, soft flow unfurls lyrics that that are coiled tight and linear. This track brings a definite pop vibe while rolling out an emotional truth that rings loud with truth. ”
E.Lizé - The Arrival (feat. Chris Rivers) [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“From the first beat, you know this track is bringing something special to the table. Two separate flows, each speaking their own truth in no nonsense way, deliver what feels like a Hip-Hop sermon.”
ShadowHood - Conquest [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Telling a story without words is no easy task ,and yet, ShadowHood has accomplished exactly that with this piece.
The clarinet drives the narrative, but the downplayed beat is sneaky in the way it lurks behind the scenes pushing and prodding until it needs to burst forth. ”
Annie Nirschel - Smoke Show [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Bringing a big, vivid, Indie Rock singer/songwriter sound, Annie Nirschel is no ‘Smoke Show,’ because there is plenty of talent and substance in the depth of this single. Reminding me of Joan Osborne and Susan Gibson, I am eager to hear more from this emotional writer and performer.”
Riot Ten & SAYMYNAME - Glocks [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Dark and twisty, the builds are delivered on with razor sharp precision. This track is cocked and loaded with absolutely nothing subtle about ‘Glocks.’ Nor should there be. ”
KLIPR - Running Back [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Nicely produced, ‘Running Back’ balances captivating vocals, and a perfect beat pairing to bring out the emotion of the lyrics.
KLIPR delivers the goods with this thumping single! ”
Jacqui Fauni - Placeholder [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Stellar songwriting ,and a magnetic, tender voice are the key elements of this track.
The melody takes a backseat to performance here, but that is more an observation than a critique. I was hoping for a moment of energy to bring this one home, though even without that burst, I enjoyed this single a great deal.”
D'Sound - Aftershock [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Silky vocals and a nice energy are at the forefront of this single from Scandinavian Neo-Soul band D’Sound. A good beat gives this one a party feel, even though the lyrics are a bit heavier emotionally.”
Flow'etic - P. B. D. [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Flow’etic drops a nice flow here that delivers a well-written set of conscious lyrics. When you have something genuine to say, there is no need for unnecessary smoke and mirrors in the production, and this is a single that proves that. Give it a listen.”
The Criticals - Good Lookin [Review]
Rating: 5 out of 5
“Rock and Roll the way it should be! With defiant cockiness that jumps up and downa nd demands to be heard.
With obvious influence from multiple greats such as Jack White, The Ramones, The Beetles, etc. this one feels like the next iteration of an evolution. Musical Darwinism!”
Jen Miller - Hot Balloon [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Lyrically this single soars. Delivered by Jen Miller’s sultry reggae vocals, this song ticks all the right check marks with meaningful words, and an outstanding performance allowing the listener to merely enjoy the musical vibe, or to focus more what is being said, while pondering the meaning behind the words.”
BAYBE - Bridges (featuring LÒNIS) [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A haunting melody and vocals are the soul of this single. ‘Bridges’ will bring out the emotions that will have you reaching for matches to torch the rocky bridge in your past. Confident and demanding, this is music that emboldens and bolsters that feeling that you are not alone in your thoughts or weaknesses. ”
Beanz - Pavement [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Chill and chilling. That’s how I’d describe ‘Pavement.’ The flow is tranquil and calm, yet the lyrics are dirt and grit. There is nothing fancy going on here, but there doesn’t need to be. True, honest emotion, delivered with authenticity.”
Michael Sneed - Hopscotch [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Dope sound. Catchy vocals and very unique. Could ride and vibe to this. ”
Yes Please - New Friends [Review]
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.”
Rygo - Off My Mind [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

Rosco P, DeejayShyne - Flxn [Review]
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.”
Flamenco Sketch - Flower [Review]
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.”
Turais - Warrior (Original Mix) [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The beat progression is captivating and the vocals warrior chant engaging without being intrusive.
This is a track that feels like both a dance number, and a classic sports anthem.”
