“When you find that perfect ‘Somebody’ everything else feels just a little bit better and easier. Here on this track, dezabel does a good jab of imparting that sentiment into a vocal groove that carries you through in smooth fashion on this single.
Falling in the R&B genre with a bit of elan to a more commercial Pop sound the track is an easy listener to connect with. ”
“Sean O’Kelly provides the swing on that sax, and Olivia Kuper-Harris ups the retro vibe with her energetic vocals.
This is a track to grab the one that matters to you and ‘Just Give Love’ to that dance floor no matter if it is your kitchen tile, or a true dance hall. This is a track to cut loose with and if you are alone then you can simply open that mouth and belt it out to take part in the fun.”
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Becky Krill is summer vibing with this track that opens with a nostalgic, folksy feel before slipping into more of an Electro Pop groove as it progresses.
’Alive in the Summertime’ offers a light energy of optimism in a world that often feels pessimistic these days. I did find myself wishing the track had another verse to keep the good feelings going a bit longer.”
“Relationships are always tough, but when you are competing for time and attention with the world via social media it is even easier to lose track. Especially, if that connection is tenuous in the first place.
This track captures all of that with a nice commercial production and an emotive vocal delivery that keeps the single alive and moving forward. Sometimes you are are better off by yourself. ”
“August Twelfth comes in with attitude and verve and while it takes just a bit for the flow to truly take off, ‘Don’t Know’ is a track that builds and progresses to hook and hold you.
Toeing a line between Hip-Hop, and more of a R&B feel, the track feels alive in its rebellious attitude.”
“Make no mistake, the world is jacked up. Moncrieff knows it too, and gives us an energetic take on the state of affairs.
This is a call to arms to everyone that feels angry, frustrated and alienated by the greed and bungling job of politicians the world over. The track is not preachy, but rebellions in an uplifting and entertaining way that hooks you in spirit and vibe.”
“The very first line hooks you in, and the build has a bit of funk in the beat to further set the hook.
’Good Good’ is a track that fills you with energy, the same sort of energy that comes with falling head over heels and losing the rest of the world as a result. The beat and build are alluring, and lyrically you can feel the power of the emotion. ”
“The beat and vocal rhythm of this track wrapped around me and kept me tethered in. The ‘Ghosts’ in our head often are hard to exorcise, and this track not only captured that lyrically, but with the production and arrangement as well.
Mike XI has impeccable timing and a strong emotive tone to make this track take up residence in the attic of your mind.”
“The soft vocals of Angela Parchetta set off this Electro Pop track that feels like summer with just a hint of a melancholic undercurrent. The build and beat is subdued, but delivers its own mood and emotional vibe that works well with the yearning tenderness of the vocal performance.
’Tell Me’ asks the questions that fill all of our minds from time to time.”
“Nick Marcus drops this energetic bit of Pop Funk. ‘Burnin’ is that fire you feel when you spot that smoking hot persona that heats you up from the inside with one look.
The beat and the funk of this track will no doubt conjure comparisons to Bruno Mars because the track has that innate sound that makes you want to get up and move.”
“Victor Dahlberg hails from Stockholm, but now calls Spain home and his sound conjured thoughts of John Hiatt for me.
Is every not perfect? No. But every note instills a feeling and emotion and you can feel the genuine passion behind both the songwriting and the arrangement. This lands in Americana realm of the Singer/Songwriter world and just feels captivating in its open, honest vibe. ”
“Ry August drops this heartfelt flow asking for more awareness, or at the very least an honest conversation given all that 2020 has revealed about us as a society.
The flow feels genuine and the track carried me forward keeping me invested and engaged. Bringing a good energy and a catchy hook it delivers on entertainment as well as a timely message and sentiment.”
“There comes a time when you either tap out, or you dig in and fight. ‘Cage Fighter’ is a track about the latter option and the duo that is TWO, embodies that not only in the lyrics and arrangement of this song, but in the fact they have emerged from their own strife and struggles to reunite with this project. A hard rocking track with an edge, this is one to add to your motivational playlists. ”
“The smooth laid back flow that no one else does quite like Snoop does, kicks off this track. Add in JoJo Hailey delivering a chorus that feels a bit like a throwback without feeling overtly retro, and the track just delivers a vibe that works to create a mood.This is one to dedicate to the one that is ‘Special’ to you. ”
“When the musical sounds of the 70s meet 90s music you get the duo Yes Please’s new single ‘Turn It Round’. The song is filled with smooth energy and lyrical directness. They inform the girl that there are no playing games when it comes to her heart. ”
“Sweet, smooth Soul. Musically, vocally, and lyrically this track simply is salve for a chapped and scraped world.
I believe in this message, and I believe in the talent unfurling it here. Grab the one you love and slow dance, or hug your neighbor (Metaphorically since maintaining social distance is key right now) and sing along. ‘As Far As We Know’ offers the best of humanity in sound and message. ”
“I dug the fusion of sounds within this track. The progression and build flawlessly shifted at just the right time to keep the track from growing stale or predictable. The Latin mix and Jazz blend kept a good energy and transported me across the ocean to the cobbled streets of Europe where I could feel the cool condensation of a glass in my mind.”
“Jokaa Deleon drops a bit of the Dirty South sound on you with ‘99 & 2000s Flow.’
There is a hint of that New Orleans bounce to the beat, and the flow comes gritty and hard. Step away from Bourbon Street and capture a bit of the New Orleans beyond the tourists scene with these hard-hitting words of truth. ”
“The build, both musically and vocally, is almost cinematic here, though the track remains its Rock/Pop vibe thanks to a magnificent performance from Sarah Kinsley.
’I Can Feel It’ has the kind of emotion that sweeps you up and carries you along. A big piano ballad that Elton John and Freddy mercury would be proud of. KInsley puts her stamp on the emotion of making it in the music world.”
“LU KALA is coming with some fire on this track, so when she tells you — you don’t want ‘No Smoke,’ you better believe it. Because the attitude she brings, is as persuasive as the talent.
This single has energy and passion and delivers punch lyrically while also coming with an undeniable groove musically. It’s not easy to draw an apt comparison, because the vocal chops feel unique and fresh.”
