Keenan Willard - Like You Do [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

There are elements of pop, coffeehouse songwriter and even a hint of EDM sensibilities to the melody on this track, and the fusion makes for a unique and interesting blend.”
Kate Vogel - Reasons to Stay [Review]

Jodi Guthro - Everyone Loves Me, But You [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Letting go is even tougher when only half of the couple is ready to break things off. This is a beautifully sang Pop track about being the one still emotionally tethered to what no longer is.”
Derek Luh - Hoodie [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5

southpost - Homesick [Review]

Sidhant Seth - Hypnotizing Me [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The unique sound hits you first, and given the fact Sidhant Seth is a unique talent with a variety of vocal skills and talents, that is to be expected.
There is a reoccurring shift in the melody that originally threatened to shake me out of the groove, but after a number of listens, I found myself enjoying the change in sound more and more.”

sasha! - Nose Ring [Review]

Kirby Maurier - Key$ [Review]
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]
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.”
Torrentiiial x Lazy Luciano - Lately iii [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The monotone vibe to this track worked well with the lyrics. And the vocal shift a couple minutes in brought in a soulful groove that kept me on the hook.
Well-written and engaging, ‘Lately iii’ pulled me in and held me there. ”
CHARLOTTE - All My Life [Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“CHARLOTTE is blessed with one of those voices that could see the words on a box of cereal and make them sound beautiful and emotional. That said ‘All My Life is a well-written song, which adds to the wow factor here.
Get on board early with this talented artist.”
Jake Isaac - Wasting My Love [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Rhythmic and beat driven, like a chain gang melody, this track is arresting to the ears in the best possible way.
Full of rock attitude and talent, Jake Isaac has a winner with ‘Wasting My Love.’”
Brooke Sierra - Voices [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Brooke Sierra is a talented vocalist and that element shines brightest on ‘Voices,’ though the songwriting is also very strong as well.
A nice, smooth commercial groove goes along with the Electro Pop vibe musically, creating a mainstream single as vibrant as any out there.”
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. ”
