“Ali George gives us a solid Murder Ballad with the track “Melanie Brown.’ There is a Southern Rock sound to this track, though the Folk influence lurks there in the shadows as well.
The lyrics tell the fictitious tale of a young man who falls in love with a hired girl and then becomes jealous of her exploits with others.”
“Coming at you with a true Singer/ Songwriter sound and vibe, Alex Gibson relies on an emotive vocal style to hook you in even before the emotion of the writing has a chance to wrap around you.
The sensation of crushing hard comes through loud and clear in ‘Falling for You.’ Save this one for the next time you are in the throes of lust and love so you can add it to the playlist for the one you want to show how you feel. ”
“Delivering a Commercial sound perfect for the Top 40, Justin Jesso has that Arena Pop sound down pat.
’Too Good To Lose’ is a big emotional track about knowing you aren’t the best thing for a person, but selfish reasons. Pride, and maybe even need, keeps you from cutting them loose, because they do make you happy even though it is clear they offer more to you than you can to them. ”
“The Criticals never fail to deliver energy and attitude in their music and the band’s latest single, ‘High Life Clinic’ once again brings that Rock and Roll spirit that many bands strive for, but often fail to reach.
There is a hint of Punk in this track and a catchy hook to go along with the in-your-face delivery. This is Indie Rock as it should be!”
“Emili comes at you with a vibe sweet innocence vocally, but the emotions of the songwriting delivers an edge and grit.
’Autopilot’ is about rut, routine, and expectations. The desire to shake things up rather than than toe the line and do exactly what everyone is expecting and demanding of you.”
“Mr. Peabody is the people’s voice as he makes songs about real life experiences..
In an effort to speak volumes Mr. Peabody delivers ‘Gospel Rap’. God’s Children is a song about diversity and unity. We are all born to have our own life regardless of color or culture yet we are still judged because of the color of one’s skin. People are dying and we must realize human life is important and as we stand divided we all will eventually fall.”
Sometimes the media can block our vision we need to stand united against a common enemy the senseless deaths need to stop . Who polices the police ?? Where is the justice ??
“Coming with a classic Folk sound, both vocally and in the melody, Mamie Minch gives us a ‘Fortified Wine.’ There is a bit of Woody Guthrie woven through this track and because there is a bit of Woody in so many artists from the genre you can trace this sound to many other contemporary Folk artists. That said, Minch’s husky vocals and emotive style rises above the fray to deliver a truly engaging single.”
“We all need a mental health day from time to time, and for anyone that has ever called in sick to work to instead do something a hell of a lot more fun, this Hip-Hop anthem is for you.
’The Call Out’ delivers a funky old-school groove that brings the sick ... as in sick beats and rhymes that will keep you moving while you skip out on work for the day.”
“The dark of night can conjure up a myriad of thoughts, often bleak and oppressive, but with the first rays of light it is easier to find that shred of positivity.
’Morning Sun’ the latest single from Sami Simon is all about daybreak and the effect it has on our outlook. A moody soft track, the single is uplifting without being Pollyanna in any way.”
“Kaya Stewart brings an edgy allure to her vocal performance on ‘California.’ Of course the Golden State has long possessed that same brand of allure, so in this track that serves as a love letter to the state, the tone is dead on perfect. A brief Hip-Hop interlude from Childish Major adds to the mood and vibe of the track as a solid change-up to Stewart’s talented performance.”
“James Bourne taps into a Randy Newman style of vibe with ‘Everyone Is My Friend.’ The well-written lyrics are easy to dial in and stay focused on, and the performance is just as engaging.
Labeling this single with a genre is tough, because there is a bit of Soul, a splash of Pop, and a twang of Country to this timeless sound.”
“Maro has the kind of vocal talent that mesmerizes and pulls you in right from the beginning. The lyrics of ‘Carsick’ come with a tranquil intensity that adds to that attachment. This softly delivered track does not shatter the norms in anyway, but still feels unique and different by establishing a steady groove that carries you along with ease.”
“Drea’s vocals are peace over a midnight storm. We all know that when two spirits interact they become connected. In her new single ‘Ritual’ she explains how she is hypnotized by love. Around the 2 mark she switches the mood but keeps the same store.”
“Loren Todd dreamed of playing int he NFL, but off the field issues ended that dream and after being sent home home from college, Todd began creating music as his outlet.
’Take It Slow’ reflects a shift in attitude as Todd showcases his talents in a different realm. Sharp lyrics and deliberate bars are balanced by a nice vocal groove that feels true and genuine. ”
“Evening’s Empire has captured the Indie Rock vibe and sound and distilled it into an engaging first single from their upcoming album, Alive For Us.
There are definitely hints of Springsteen here, though the track has its own vibe musically that makes it stand alone with a sound that grips you as it builds into an emotional crescendo. ‘Movies (Who I Really Am)’ is as the band says ... about the resolve to hold on to the parts of life that make it worth living.”
“Written about, and for, his mother-in-law, Cory Taylor Cox takes what many would dismiss as the mundane and turns it into an extraordinaire ode to a life well spent. The love and dedication, and determination shine through, and the vocal talent brings all of those assessments as well as a spirit to the track, making the songwriting shine as much as the performance.”
“Coming with a summertime vibe of bright sunshine and warmth, ‘Kiss Me’ is an ode to first loves and the idea that they truly can last forever.
Simon Lunche delivers a vocal performance that keeps the listener invested and believing in a romanticized version of their first love.”
“The vocals come in with a soft emotive style before that track makes an abrupt Electro vibe. Lyrically, this one is about molding yourself to be something that someone else wants you to be. That kind of selfish love is always one-sided and eventually leaves one party a glob of ‘Silly Putty.’ ”
“Difion gives us ‘Blessings’ with this uplifting and positive Reggae track. Riding a tranquil vibe the track offers smooth vocals and a calming beat and melody to deliver a message of hope.
Staying positive is something we all struggle with at times, and this is the kind of track that can help put your mind in a state that helps with that task. ”
“This track delivers a nice summer vibe. ‘Turn Me Up’ brings a Reggae sound along with a Pop like vibe that simply feels like the combination of sunshine on your face, and cold beer on your hand. The vocal groove is one that is easy to fall into, and the beat carries you along without effort.”
