Betty Moon - Runaway [Review]

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

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Sinister yet alluring, Betty Moon’s vocals are like that first sip of whisky on the night you know you’re going to drink way too much.

Foreboding yet evocative, ‘Runaway’ is the kind of track that feels timeless in its appeal and razor sharp attitude. ”

    November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Future House, Remix

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “This EDM track really comes alive after that first drop about :45 seconds in, but even before that it sets a nice mellow groove that shines bright throughout this single.”

      “Riding a nice hook in the chorus, Michael Kraun delivers a flow that feels genuine in emotion and lyrics. This track sets a mood from the onset, and stays consistent start to finish.”

        “Toss a single from the dearly departed Prince into a blender, along with a funky refrain from Jamiroqui and the smoothie you’d be grooving to afterward would sound a lot like, ‘What If,’ which is Mike Kiddoo’s latest single.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Lyrics that made me sit up and pay attention. That is the foremost thing I can say about Jane Holiday’s single “Pocket Dial.’

          The performance is solid, if a bit predictable, but that is not necessarily a bad thing as I remained focused on unraveling the emotion of the words.”

              “That beat though …

              This track is about musical euphoria. Perfectly capturing emotion and laying it down in studio.

                  “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.”

                    “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.”

                                “A Jazz infused Lo-fi Hip-Hop track that utilizes strong writing to make its point. all in under two minutes.

                                Short, yet effective prose makes this a quick listen well worth your time.”

                                  “A steady Hip-Hop beat is the one constant in this track, which pulls in threads of Jazz to back the serious straightforward commentary of the vocal flow. ”

                                    “An Instrumental with nice layers, each adding to the depth and emotional engagement. A hard beat backs it all, and the piano and orchestra sound deliver both a jazz smoothness, and a little funk to the mix.”

                                      “Calm, quiet, and reflective are the predominant features of ‘Side Effects.’

                                      With the flair of a modern Paul Simon, Owen Danoff offers a single here that sneaks up on you and surprises with its genuine emotion.”

                                        “Kate Vogel has one of those rare voices that can make you truly feel the emotion of the lyrics without relying on vocal tricks. Raw and natural her performance on ‘The Grave’ details the grief of an unexpected loss in haunting beauty. Call it Singer/Songwriter, Americana or simply Commercial music if you will but labels are unimportant when an artist can draw you in and immerse you in the feelings this well. ”
