Arson Daily - Pipe Dream [Review]

November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Indie Rock

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Has the America Dream became nothing more than a ‘Pipe Dream?’

Arson Daily asks this question with a intriguing lyrics and a nice Indie Rock vibe. Engaging guitar driven melody and tantalizing vocals carry this track. ”

    Dante Mazzetti - Breaking in the Sun [Review]

    November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “A father’s heartbreak is rarely examined to this depth, but there are many father’s out there who are not as big a part of their kid’s lives as they’d like.

    This is a quiet folksy song about a man owning up to his past mistakes and trying to find a way forward. Honest and heartfelt the single takes you on a riveting emotional journey.”

      VIVIE ANN - Loverboy [Review]

      November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “A kick ass vocal edge slices through convention on this track detailing the lustful pursuit of our heroine on the prowl for the right ‘Loverboy’ to quell her needs.

      This is a track that turns the usual trope on its head and explores sexual roles in these modern times. The track has a James Bond vibe, but this time the debonair fellow is powerless next to the femme fatale.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Geena Fontanella keeps the momentum going with yet another impactful release.

          ’I Hate This City’ is a heartfelt single of loneliness and longing. Missing a lover who is not physically near is something most of us can relate to, and both lyrically and vocally, the emotions are tangible in this fantastic Electro Pop number.”

              WALDO - Kings Prod By Sango & Savon [Review]

              “A hard beat backs most of the flow, and the production shines like a ‘Kings’ crown on this this track, but for me it is the realism of the artist that makes this single rule.

              WALDO pays homage to who he is, and where he came from, while bring a cocky humbleness to his lyrics.”

                “Okay, I will ‘Admit It,’ MIDLO delivers a pop triumph in this single. It begins with a muffled sound almost as if it were recorded underwater, but that dynamic is brief and then the track explodes and the vocals take on a variety of styles to deliver an emotional set of lyrics detailing the frustration of being toyed with in a relationship. ”

                                  Jodi Guthro - Everyone Loves Me, But You [Review]

                                  “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.”

                                    “Letting go is tough to do, and many of us have attached our emotions to an inanimate object.

                                    ’Hoodie’ delivers these feelings in a nice steady flow that is as comfortable to wrap around you as your favorite, time-worn garment. ”

                                      “Regret is a powerful emotion and this track does a great job of imparting the pain associated with that very thing. Pure rock sound with instrumentation that conveys as much as the lyrics this track drips with yesterday’s tears. ”

                                        “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.”
