Majjin Boo - Mom's Marines [Review]

October 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Indie Rock

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Delivering unorthodox sounds via varying tempos, layers, and a mix of voices, Majjin Boo keeps each verse interesting and different.

Lyrically, this is a song that will take you multiple listens to digest the nuances, but because of the talent and skill you will not get that overexposed feeling as you do so.

Smart, intriguing, Alternative sound and I can’t wait to hear future offerings.”

    Prophet - Hurd of Who [Review]

    October 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Spit it. Mean it. Don’t apologize for it. Prophet does not hold back in ‘Hurd of Who.’ Riding a steady beat and lyrics that strike — this is not a track for the faint of heart. But it is a track that speaks its mind with true talent behind it.”

      Reece - Last Time [Review]

      October 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “With a voice that instantly captivates, Reece hooks the listener before the lyrical content has a chance to settle. But ‘Last Time’ is far more than a performance piece showcasing vocal talent.

      The single has depth, and meaning. In this case, those emotions just happen to be brought forth in delicate fashion, by a brilliant performance.”

        Caroline Kole - Freaking Out! [Review]

        October 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Caroline Kole has an unreal talent, so it is hard to imagine her ‘Freaking Out!’ but then again we’ve all been there.

        Delivering a near perfect pop performance, Kole unleashes a single that is highly relatable in lyrical content, and entertaining in style.”

            MEUTE - Rej (Âme) [Review]

            October 04, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Had you told me I’d be intrigued by a German Techno marching band, I would have been dubious to say the least, but this epic track sparkles from start to finish and given it’s nearly seven minutes long, that is saying something.

            A little of the marching band vibe carries through, but this is a dance number plane and simple. A dance number that takes endurance and stamina, but the beat is infectious and the groove outstanding so I encourage everyone to march out of their comfort zone, and give this live recording a go.”

              “A sensual love song, delivered with a raspy smoothness that showcases the emotion of the lyrics very well.

              This is the kind of song played as the first dance at weddings, or repeatedly by those falling in love.”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Few things in this world are as complicated as the relationship between two humans. The Criticals have captured that complexity perfectly with ‘Just For The Weekend.’ Not only with the melody and lyrical content, but also a performance that is soft, yet razor sharp at times.

                  Bringing a different sound than the last single featured here on LA on Lock, the band has proven they are multifaceted and complex themselves. Can’t wait to hear what they deliver next.”

                    “Straddling that edge between rock and country, Anna Rose brings hints of vintage Joan Jett, and Faith Hill at her best.

                    The melody is predictable at times, but the vocals bring passion and energy and music doesn’t always need to reinvent the wheel to deliver entertainment.”

                      “Letting go is tough to do, and sometimes it hurts more to see the other person let go too fast. This track takes those emotions and distills them down to a heartfelt Indie ode to that pain and frustration. The vocals are laced with heartache and the simply melody works well in tandem. ”

                                  “Riding a dark and heavy vibe, this tracks reflects on life by asking ... What do you see when you look in the mirror? The flow is solid, and the beat spot on, in this single that leaves you feeling like maybe you have more control in things than you realize.”

                                    “Intricate and emotional writing are the hallmark of this song, but that is not to downplay the performance ... which is perfect in the delivery of such a single.

                                    Trinity Rose might be “Coughing Up Flowers’ in the name of love, but her immersive singer/songwriter style has certainly created a delectable bouquet this time around.”

                                      “A steady, authentic flow dropped over a catchy beat and melody gives ‘Left or Right’ a realness that shines through in ever word.

                                      Solid writing and vocals that feel genuine carry the day on this track.”

                                        “Fun! Truthful! Genre bending!

                                        Cab Ellis delivers a track that is all of the above and then some. A high-energy single about escaping ‘Suburbia’ to chase your dreams.”
