Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Truthful emotion that made me laugh ... Shout Amen! ... And move to the groove.

    Arielle Silver - Lonely Time of Year [Review]

    December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Holiday, Folk

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This holiday anthem presents a different side of the cheery odes of yuletide celebration. Bordering on Country, this singer/songwriter track, stays this side of melancholy with a sense of truism and a classic holiday melody. ”

      Julianna Joy - Nevermind [Review]

      December 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Julianna Joy has the kind of voice that is musical all on its own. Powerful, tender, and emotive, the vocals run the show here, but the melody and beat add layers to the tantalizing lyrics, making “Nevermind’ anything, but a passing thought.”

        Kensington Moore - Karma [Review]

        December 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Kensington Moore serves up a piping hot dish with her single ‘Karma.’

        They say Karma is a bitch and revenge is best served cold, but this track is a steaming dagger to the heart of those who have put themselves in karma’s path. Haunting and beautiful and impactful, this is a track everyone can relate to. ”

          “A nice contemporary Christmas song with a singer/songwriter vibe.

          Smooth, with a touch of melancholy, this is a song to sip wine and think about that one you can’t be with this holiday season. ”

              “I dig this old-school funk for both its simple, straightforward beat and melody, and the subtle complexity behind the lyrics.

              This is the kind of song you can groove on over and over again, while diving deeper and deeper into the lyrical meaning. ”

                                    “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]

                                      “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.”
