Jaycetone - Going for Gold [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“This is one of those tracks that just grabs you and it is hard to say why. There are some shiny lines that truly are ‘Going For The Gold,’ and the vocal flow is somewhat ordinary until the chorus anyway, but I was on the hook just the same.
I suppose my intrigue here came from the fact that it felt true and I believed the emotion behind the flow.”
KARLI - Running For My Life [Review]

The Criticals - Got No Love [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“I have fast become a big fan of The Criticals. There is a nostalgic quality to both their sound and songwriting, or rather I should say — classical sound, because there is nothing dated about their music.
The melody hooked me here before the lyrics quickly establishing another single to the band’s impressive EP Mimosa Hygiene, which is not out in its entirety.”

Get on board early with this talented artist.”

Ghostwriter LA - True [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Ghostwriter LA drops this melancholy tracks that does indeed ring ‘True.’
Life away from home and a support system is a challenge for anyone, and when you add in the tough vibe of making it in a difficult pursuit, like the music business, this song captures that hopeless feeling of chasing a dream.
But where there is a dream — there is always a hope. ”
courtship. - Number 1 [Review]
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]
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. ”
Yonee - Bad [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

Me an Di - Hiatus [Review]
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.”

Brooklyn Doran - I Can't Be Alone With You [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“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. ”

Daughters of Noise! - 2023 [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“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.”
