    Corey Durkin - Rest My Bones [Review]

    November 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Folk

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This is a nice road song in the traditional Folk kind of way.

    The heartbeat of Dylan, the bones of Guthrie, the blood type of Kerouac.”

      Co'xa - Griefer [Review]

      November 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This track hits different.

      So much so it isn’t easy to follow, but then again, grief is a twisted dark path that offers no real road map. So while many will dismiss the structure here, (based on the norms of music) this track is an exploration of human emotion, and I can’t think of a better artful expression for the way grief throbs and thumps and takes us to random places as we deal and cope with the pain.

      I really only wish it went farther, and offered more, because the track is fairly short overall. ”

        “True love is a hard time to fight and so is good music. This tracks happens to be good music about the power of true love. The vibe carries a classic Springsteen kind of sound.”

            Tyler Shamy - Pills [Review]

            November 24, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial, Contemporary R&B

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “There are lots of songs about battling depression, but few if any nail the struggle as well as this track.

            ’Pills’ brings an up and down energy, an array of emotion, and an engaging narrative that feels real and entertaining without sacrificing emotion or impact. Style wise this is Commercial Pop with a hard beat and an Electro Pop melody over soulful vocal delivery, ”

                “We all have that ‘Ghost’ or two that haunts us, but few in this world have the vocal talent on display in this single. The rasp in the voice is perfect for a song that fits in between a true Rock ballad and the Pop melody behind the track.”

                        “The best songs are the ones you can listen to over and over again. The ones where you find subtle new meanings even years after you first hear it. ‘Twentysomething’ has that sort of vibe as it is nuanced and layered, both in the construct of the the beat and melody, but also in the songwriting and vocal delivery. The piece starts slow before revving up the energy level and throughout the lyrics are engaging and thought-provoking. ”

                          “Giovanni Tha King has dropped a single that is tough to categorize, but sometimes that is the beauty of flat out good music. It blends and blurs lines, and that is the case with ‘Fallin’ which has a Rap beat behind it and a similar cadence in spots, but the vocals utilize Autotune to give the track some Pop sensibilities as well.

                          At the heart of this track is the emotional and genuine delivery which drew me in as a listener.”

                                  Mike Kiddoo - What If [Review]

                                  “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.”

                                    “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.”

                                      “Confetti is back with a high-energy track of braggadocios confidence.

                                      Guaranteed to get you moving, this is a single that is perfect for the club, or when rolling around the block with the window down and your hair blowing in the breeze. ”

                                        “That beat though …

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

                                        Call it a modern Zippity-Doo-Dah where the sun is shining warm and gentle on your face, and the birds are whistling to the exact song playing in your heart. ”
