Hudson Rainer - Country Home [Review]

October 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Folk

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Bringing a throwback sound, Hudson Rainer has channeled the vibe of vintage Neil Young and The Band to give us a track that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Stripped down emotional music at its best. I like it! ”

    Zuffalo - Saskatchewan [Review]

    October 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “This single puts off a solid Southern Rock vibe, but given Zuffalo hail from our neighbors up above, I suppose you will have to call this ... Northern Rock.

    The high vocal register works well here and the guitar riffs are old school alluring.”

      LUC - Glow [Review]

      October 16, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This band out of Los Angeles describes themselves as LA Garagetronic. For me the sound came across as a dash of disco, and a whole lot of electro, but no matter how you describe it, this track has some juice.

      The vocals are sexy in a dystopian kind of way, and the entire single does indeed ‘Glow.’”

          Samuel Jack - In My Head [Review]

          October 14, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Samuel Jack captivates with his voice and vocal refrain on such a level, that it is easy to focus there and miss the power of these lyrics. However, ‘In My Head’ delivers an emotional punch in the songwriting department as well.”

                  Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                  “There is a nice wordplay to the writing, and the vocal performance is a natural for such a song. Landing somewhere in the Americana, Singer/Songwriter spectrum of Folk music, ‘King of Diamonds’ is a track that is easy to fall into. I do wish we had heard more of the female voice that came in at the end.”

                      “Starting out with sweet vocals and a simple melody, ‘Coolest Kid’ turns dark and dangerous and heavy along the way — which is perfect the lyrics and subject matter.

                      A pop song that delves almost into a punk vibe, before settling into a heart breaker by the end.”

                                “This track feels strangely intimate which is odd given it was written after a voyeuristic moment from afar.

                                The vocals are haunting and beautiful and the writing itself suburb as it touches on emotions we all feel and display — even we we do not realize we are projecting certain elements of ourselves.”

                                  Inbar Starr - Used To Know You Better [Music Video Review]

                                  October 11, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Contemporary R&B, Commercial

                                  “Inbar Starr has a unique vocal tone that grabs you from the very start, but this track offers so much more. Solid songwriting and an easy infectious groove makes ‘Used To Know You Better’ one of those songs that instantly feels familiar. One of those songs you can’t help but sing to yourself long after the last note has faded.

                                  The catchy chorus and a memorable melody stick with you in all the best ways. The video is a perfect compliment.”

                                    Yvette Nacer - Quicksand [Review]

                                    “With soulful power, Yvette Nacer delivers the grains of emotional truth that provide solid ground for this single. Metaphorical ‘Quicksand’ is something we all slip into from time to time, and this track captures that sinking feeling while also lifting us up with the power of determination.”

                                      “What happens when that one night stand lingers in your mind far beyond the following morning?

                                      Caro delivers a song behind those very emotions and she does so with a pop glory that brings both commercial appeal and genuine feelings that strike a chord for the fragility of human emotions.”

                                        “So I stumbled upon this song by accident., I was working with so many tabs on my computer and out of nowhere this song started playing. The cadence reminded me of something else but I couldn’t figure out where the song was playing it was between YouTube, Spotify or Sound-cloud maybe. When I finally found the tab I discovered Ammar Sings is the artist who has captured my ears and lifted me away with his new single “Don’t Leave”
