Parris LaVon - Iris In Bloom [Review]

December 27, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Contemporary R&B

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Parris LaVon’s drops an emotional track speaking to, and honoring his mother.

Saying goodbye is tough, and the array of emotions that hit us while trying to do so can be overwhelming. The lyrics here reflect all of that in a way that makes us the listener feel his struggles, hope, love, and sadness.

’Iris In Bloom’ is a track that would make any mother proud and all the more so when it comes from a talent like LaVon.”

    Pablo Tha Great -Now or Never [Review]

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Its the holiday season but its adulting season every day.

    Your momma need a house, your daddy need a truck and you have to move your son in with you what do you do? You get on the grind like Pablo Tha Great. Pablo comes on hard with ‘Now or Never’ delivering truth and reality in his lyrics.

    My Favorite verse is ‘Im heading for the ocean I done skipped the pond’”

      Jacqui Fauni - Computation [Review]

      December 21, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This is a fun and sassy song and honestly, the line ... dial 1-800 stay the fuck out of my life ... had me hooked for good.

      The tone hear is light and airy and the writing clever and zingworthy throughout. The upbeat tempo is defiant yet fun and the vocal flow uses a few different paces to keep it fresh and engaging.

      A fun song start to finish. ”

        Kosha Dillz - Schmoozin' [Music Video Review]

        December 21, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “I was captivated here right off the bat. Jewish Rap?

        I can honestly say this is the best track from the genre I’ve ever heard. It is also the only track of Jewish Rap I’ve ever heard. But that really doesn’t matter because the track is well-written, and performed with passion and fervor, and that is what makes good music. No matter the genre.”

          Dirt Dolla - Blue Dream [Review]

          December 20, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Contemporary R&B, Conscious, Hip-Hop

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “A soulful and bluesy track with a nice Hip-Hop flow throughout, Dirt Dolla drops the single ‘Blue Dream,’ which has a bit of holiday nostalgia to it. That is not to say the track doesn’t have a resonance that works well all across the year because the lyrics are strong and the beat infectious.

          Hard to pin a genre on this one so we will simply call it good music. ”

              “You ever felt JLSY?

              Great vocals + great chorus is what describes Syrian and Lebanese Artist Shanii22’s new single JLSY. This song is a track that will have you singing and you don’t even realize it.. It takes you to a fantasy of wanting something to be all yours and no one else.”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Riding a slow and steady beat, Skuzii drops a low-key flow that speaks some truths that resonates well. The chorus establishes a nice groove that holds you in between verses that call out society, as well as the ideals and thoughts most of us have at one time or another.

                This is a laid-back track that will make you think about both yesterday and tomorrow. ”

                  “An appealing tone, and a steady beat hooked me early on even as I struggled to connect lyrically. This is the kind of track that pulls you in fast with beat, melody and vocal talent, but it takes several listens to fully decipher and digest the lyrics. The beauty of this is that you get surprised in the best way with subsequent listens. ”

                    None of us are exempt from causing pain to others. Sometimes it is even inevitable, but at our best we can be open and honest and admit our mistakes, as well as our true intentions. This song is all about that. ”

                                Morningbird - Do It Again [Review]

                                “Delivering a nice Alternative sound bordering on Americana, Morningbird’s latest single conjures emotional thoughts of nostalgia in the pursuit of love and a better life.

                                The song does a nice job of reflection, followed by self-realization that it is time to move on to the next phase.”

                                  “A singer/songwriter duet that leaves you feeling like you are eavesdropping in on an private, intimate conversation. Both voices exhibit emotional vulnerability as well as hope and an underlying urgency. ”

                                    “Alluring vocals lead us into the heartbreak and pain of a relationship that has shrunk away to nothing. Slow and steady this single unfolds as the mind unravels what comes next while also building walls of protection.”

                                      “A soft and emotional single about the inner working of the mind and finding inner peace by knowing you’ve given it your all. The vocals carry feeling and empathy and this track is inner dialogue at its best in a singer/songwriter style that lands very well. ”

                                        The Mitras - Please [Review]

                                        “This track will no doubt conjure up thoughts of Cobain, but The Mitras sound offers far more than similarities to Nirvana.

                                        Many influences are at work here and they manifest in a set of vocals and melody that stands on its own in Alternative Rock glory.

                                        ’Please’ isn’t a question or a plea in this case, but a demand to be heard. ”
