Rich DietZ (feat. Jenny Bee) - Ferris wheel [Review]

November 15, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Future House

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The beat production and dance groove here is rock solid, and I particularly enjoyed the story aspect to the lyrics.

Besides the entertaining vibe, I was left wondering ... what did happen at that Ferris Wheel?”

      JUJ - Pieces [Review]

      November 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Insomnia is an ugly thing, but this track beautifully captures the feelings of hope and desperation that it brings out in its sufferers.

      Big bold vocals with a pop gospel kind of feel delivers the lyrics over the top of a melody that soars in all the right places.”

        “The emotion escalates throughout this well-written track, putting you deep inside another’s mind. The stripped down beat and melody get out of the way, allowing for an instantaneous connection to the vocal flow. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Soulful and energetic, ‘Key$’ rides a hard beat and R&B vocals to create a genre bending Hip-Hop track that feels commercial, without sacrificing its soul.”

            Jaycetone - Going for Gold [Review]

            November 10, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Rap, Autotune

            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.”

                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.”

                          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.

                            ’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 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.”

                                    “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.”

                                        “This track is quiet, and yet the power of the vocals rings loud with power. The emotion is enhanced by both the simple piano melody, and common sense lyrics written with an uncommon talent. ”
