courtship. - Number 1 [Review]

November 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A slow easy groove full of heartbreak.

’Number 1’ is about the times when the one you desire, does not choose you.

Giving off a classic 70s, almost Elton style, melody this old school rock song hits home for anyone that has come in second place when being first is all that truly matters. Fans in LA can catch courtship. December 9th at The Echo.”

      Jackson Sutherland - Myself [Review]

      November 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Jackson Sutherland has a songwriting gift and his latest Electro Pop single, ‘Myself’ showcases not only that talent, but his vocal strength as well.

      The line ... I gotta stop hating myself ... could fall into a despair-filled track that only adds to the melancholy we all feel at times, but Sutherland steered the track away from that and instead gives us a song of honest emotion that brings a self-awareness and sense of belonging rather than isolation.

      This is a track you can indeed roll down your windows and sing along to even if you are going through tough times. ”

        “Sultry and forbidden, Yonee drops a smooth flow detailing the ‘Bad’ things he wants to do with the one he desires. Lyrically this one sets a mood and transports you to a emotional place and time.”

          Me an Di - Hiatus [Review]

          November 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Future Bass

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Born in LA rush hour traffic, ‘Hiatus’ is an high energy pop single about that moment in a relationship where it is either time to break free and breath on your own, or double down and commit.

          The track is lively with a dance energy and infectious vocals.

          For those near LA the single release show will be November 8th at 10 pm at Hotel Cafe.”

            “Heartfelt and emotional, the little touch of vulnerability in Connolly’s voice, showcases the emotion behind the lyrics. This track feels like coffee house folk, with a splash of Americana.”

                “Soft melancholy never sounded so good.

                This song carries the vibe of the internal voice whispering inside your head not to call that person at 3 AM. That person you know you shouldn’t be alone with.

                Dreamy and sleepy, but full of emotional danger, ‘I Can’t Be Alone With You’ is a triumph for singer/songwriter Brooklyn Doran. ”

                    “If I am honest ... I nearly dismissed this track early on. The initial sound did not hook me, but the longer I listened, that old school 90s synth vibe snaked its way into my soul, and the retro girl band vocals soon caught my ear.

                    I was a reluctant fan for sure, but there is something to be said for a track that can surprise you and turn your head and I came away a fan despite that initial reaction.”

                              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.”

                                “Pure funky fun. A little bit of old school soul, infused with an hint of pop vocals makes ‘Don’t Ya’ an energetic single full of pep and vigor. Hard not to move and sing along with this one.”

                                  Amy Guess - Holy Hell [Review]

                                  “This track has a fairly common rock structure, but the vocals save it from feeling overly familiar. Amy Guess does a great job of providing a varied sound in the performance — each alluring in its own right. The chorus strikes hard and fast and delivers a punch.”

                                    “The world needs more original Christmas songs and Daniel Blake delivers here with a nice singer’songwriter coffeehouse vibe.

                                    Calm and well-written, this is a song to sit back and listen to as you reflect on another year passing while giving thanks for ‘The Ones You Love.’”

                                      “The vocals are alluring and grab you immediately. The production of the beat and melody is in lock step with the emotion of the lyrics creating a totally immersive listening experience. ”

                                        “A strong debut from Elly J Devon. I thought I knew where the vocals were taking me, but I was wrong and pleasantly surprised to be so. A soulful ode to staying strong in the face of a deteriorating relationship.”
