Kate Vogel - Rain [Review]

December 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The best musical artists often defy genre in that they write such meaningful lyrics and deliver them with emotion laden performances that resonate with music lovers across the board. Kate Vogel is such an artist, and with every submission I’ve heard from her repertoire, my appreciation for her talent grows. ”

    The Replicants - Take It All Back [Review]

    December 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A straight-forward Rock song. The Replicants are not reinventing the wheel which is perhaps why they chose their band name, but they are Rocking out quite well in an age where frankly too many artist s are working a bit too hard to reinvent the wheel rather than deliver emotional music to their audience. ”

      Samad Savage x Felisha George x Euphony - 75000 [Review]

      December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “A talented and topical flow highlighting a problem that is just now starting to gain the attention it calls for.

      The fact there are so missing black women in this country is appalling and kudos to this track for shedding light on this sickening issue. ”

        Cellophane Sam - "At War with the Present" [Review]

        December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The complexity of the mind is a tough subject to tackle and come out the other side with anything resembling clarity. Cellophane Sam has done so here with a slightly melancholic ode to the internal dialogue we all have, as well as even deeper thoughts and motivations. I came away with an almost Neil Young kind of vibe with a more modern sound. ”

          Payson Lewis - Nothing To You [Review]

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “The wrong relationships leaves you depleted and wondering who you truly are. Payson Lewis explores those emotions with tight vocals and a gritty guitar melody on this track and the result is a rocking Pop single more than worthy of your ears.”

            “The chill easy vibe to the beat and melody contrasts nicely with the vocal flows, which have a decided West Coast feel.

                “A soft emotional singer/songwriter vibe that delves into the often misguided nostalgia of remembering your high school years. The track brings a nice guitar melody and a delicately pleasing voice.”

                  Miles Horn - Floating In Space [Review]

                  December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Rock

                  Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                  “This is a well-written song, but what makes it shine is the vocal performance. There are glossier, more powerful voices than Miles Horn, but you will be hard-pressed to ever hear a song where the artist clearly believes the words they are singing more than Horn obviously does on ‘Floating In Space.’

                  It is that personal engagement that makes this track comes alive, and it is is that personal involvement that makes me feel just as invested in the track. ”

                                    “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. ”

                                      “An uptempo Pop track that captivates with a variety of tempos and vocal styles. The accompanying video does a good job of adding to the emotional turmoil of the lyrics. ”

                                        “This high energy track is a call to get out and vote.

                                        A political Hip-Hop flow with a nice beat and melody calling for the ouster of the Orange one. ”
