Rating: 4 out of 5
“The early tones intrigue with a quiet reserve, until the track explodes into a glorious chorus. Millé has a unique quiver to his voice at times and a raw tenderness others.”
WVZ - Company [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“A smooth, easy groove about falling in love with someone you never planned on being part of your life. A relationship others might warn you against, but feels right for you.
The tracks began a little disjointed for me, but once it settles into that R&B rhythm, the single falls into a delightful glide.”
WILSN - Brand New Day [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Bold vocals, that remind of Winehouse, and a melody that is both modern and darkly retro, drive this track. Lyrically the single might not offer as much as some other songs, but the magic of the performance is that it doesn’t need to be, in order to evoke a strong emotional reaction. ”
NevilleSounds - Ending Scene [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“NevilleSounds began writing this song to better understand the emotions of a friend diagnosed with cancer, but the theme expanded from there to the plight of many.
The track is heavy in a rock ballad kind of way and 100% of the download proceeds go to the charity Rethink Mental Illness ... so check it out because the world needs more empathy all the way around.”

MONTE.XTO - Runaway [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“There is that moment in most relationships where you fear the feelings of attraction and personal attachment. The need of another person is a scary thing and if the person you need sees you in a bad light there is little to do to stop them from being a ‘Runaway.’ This track captures all of this in a smooth, Contemporary R&B style.”
Mykel Hawk - Elephant [Review]
Ratings: 4.5 out of 5

Omar Kadir - Red Cup [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A haunting reminder we can’t have it all, this track is delivered in a soulful flow that falls somewhere between R&B and Hip-hop.
Sometimes you have to leave something or someone behind to chase a dream, but such sacrifice does not come without emotional turmoil and you can feel that in every line. ”

Hirsch - Angels Will [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Striking a balance between the classic emo sound of the late 80’s, and a modern rock edge, Hirsch delivers ‘Angels Will,’ a track that settles in your bones.
Vocally the single pulls you in immediately, but this is a track that takes a few listens to truly connect lyrically.”

Rating: 4 out of 5

J. Ferb - Bullseye [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“J. Ferb has overcome adversity and hardships to create his upcoming debut album. ‘Bullseye’ is the first track off that album, and if it is any indication of what we can expect out of this rising talent, then Memphis has gave birth to you another music star. Tight lyrics and a passionate flow hit the mark on this track.”
Nakfa - Sera [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Miranda Glory - Pisces [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“The vocals are smooth and tender and that brings a vulnerability that really works well here.
The production is catchy with enough Electro elements to keep this one from falling into a saccharine pop vibe. The chorus hook is fantastic and unexpected.”
Mike Xavier - Look At You Now [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“That thin line between love and hate is often big and bold after a breakup. This flow takes gloating to a new level post breakup. An anthem for those flourishing when their exes flounder. The horns in the melody add to the flavor of winning and the vocals capture the emotion of prideful disdain.”
