March 15, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Commercial

“The Satellite Station latest single is about reassurance and forever dreaming. ‘Shelter’ is a descriptive acoustic single about the journey of love. As he tells the story he is detailed in his lyrics and the dynamics walks you through his emotions.”

    Kash'd Out - Always Vibin' (Acoustic) [Review]

    March 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae, Ska, Pop, Rock

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Sometimes you need to put on a song and simply kick back and relax. ‘Always Vibin’ is the perfect addition to that playlist of tracks for the times you simply want to chill.

    Kash’d Out delivers the good time vibes in a low key Reggae/Ska style so fire one up or mix up a cold drink and feel the waves roll over you.”

      emlyn - a thousand parties [Review]

      March 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Inspired by the great literary love stories, Emlyn has given us a passionate love song of sorts, despite the fact she admits to never having been in love herself.

      ’A Thousand Parties’ is a big bold Pop track that would be right at time on a Demi Lovato album. The boisterous vocals drive it all home giving this track a huge presence.”

        What If Elephants x Flara K - Guilty Pleasure [Review]

        March 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “I for one do not think we should feel guilty about pursuing our pleasures, but there is no denying the saying ‘Guilty PLeasure’ makes for a nice hook here on this track. The two set of vocals intertwine and mix well in this energetic Electro Pop single.

        Co-dependency has never been more fun than this lively track.”

          “A year has past but the hurt, trauma, healing and fight still exists. 912Keem releases their new song Long Live Abe. What started out as was walk/run through the city lead to a violent ending. 912Keem not only walks us through their view but they musically connect us to their emotional feelings. A lot of weight is carried but no one ever sees the scars. ”

            “‘tis that time of year ... and who doesn’t like a good drinking song all in the name of a good Saint. So raise a pint, make it green if that’s your thing, and revel in the day it’s okay to get shitfaced. Actually this past year, we’ve all had many of those days and hey that’s okay too because sometimes you just gotta play the cards as they’re dealt. This is a fun Celtic Punk track perfect for the year and the season.”

              “Rock and Roll has long been about taking a seething rage and distilling it down into a musical art form that the masses can sip from. True to that, Caveat Empire has created an elixir for the times with their single, ‘Company Man,’ a song of true anger and brewing rage. ”

                “There is an optimistic energy and spirit about this track from Kama Tala that lifts the song and makes it impossible not to fall in and sing along. A bit of island flair and a dash of Paul Simon brings it all alive. Like a slightly more commercial sounding Jack Johnson.”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “This track is for anyone that has ever taken a leap or gone in search of themselves only to discover that the person you once were is not the same person you are now. Delivered with an emotionally bare and vulnerable performance the track is a ‘Soft Landing’ for the senses that simply feels true and genuine. There is a hint of Folk but the overriding feel is Indie Pop and it simply works well.”

                    “The passion comes through in both the writing and performance of this track. MARQÛÏS drops a flow that feels like it rides the ragged edge of human psyche and in it, we the listener can feel the pain, hopes, and fears as they are laid down. The track has an anxious vibe in both the delivery and the melody, and it all combines to hold your attention as he brings a stream of conscious kind of vibe. ”

                      “This past year has left us all feeling like we are stuck in a badly written thriller. Ravaged by both boredom, and a pandemic, we are stuck in the duality of feuding emotions and this track with its sort of rowdy yet lazy vibes captures those contradictions with a simmering brand of energy that gathered me in and left me wanting to shout at the moon.”

At only 16, she has the talent and emotive vocal style that is perfect for delivery fun, yet meaningful songs. Rejecting an unwanted call by hitting that ‘Red Button’ can be cathartic in its own right as it returns the power to those who have been done wrong. ”

                          “We all love to discover those powerful new voices and then share them with our friends. Here is your chance to be the musical explorer in your core group and share an important new voice. mae krell delivers talent and vulnerability that rises above what most artists are capable of.

                          Written on the two year anniversary of their sobriety, “are you sure?” explores the low points that make you forget the progress you’ve already made. The emotion is temporary, but it’s painful to overcome. Sung with the tremor of someone on the verge of tears, the single is raw in the most intimate way, with Mae’s distinctive voice wavering over textured guitar and charango and piano accents. ”

                              “Casey Baer brings vocal power to this track about the pursuit of the dream. California and the ‘Hollywood Hills’ have long called dreamers of all types, but the struggle to stand out and achieve those goals is fraught with pitfalls and dangers and it gets damn tough to make it unscathed. This ballad details that struggle quite well, and you can feel the hope and anguish within the words.”

                                Running Lights - Not the One [Review]

                                “Delivering a classic sound with enough modern flair to keep from feeling too retro, the latest single from Running Lights, ‘Not The One’ is an anthem to past loves and the realization some relationships are never meant to last. The overall vibe is positive even as the lyrics reflect on a broken past.”

                                  “Lauren Spring has a timeless voice that carries hints of Ronstadt, Emmylou, and the entire Wet Coast Folk/Country sound of the 60s and 70s. That is not to say this track has a retro vibe, because Spring infuses plenty of modern touches to make “I Remember You’ stand out and above so many artists trying to put modern spins on classic sounds from that era. The smooth steady progression and lyrical flow feels like a warm hug from a friend on this track. ”

                                    “Melody Federer drops this Anti-Love song which delivers an eerie vibe — as if the track were created for a Valentine’s Day version of NIghtmare Before Christmas.

                                    There are clear Pop Elements, but ‘I Hate Love’ offers its own brand of angst-filled rebellion that wraps around your cold heart like a sinister snake looking for warmth. Dark and winding, the arrangement captivates and intrigues even as you fear the bite of those jaded thoughts.”

                                      “This could be the perfect song dropping at the perfect time! It feels like we are emerging from some type of dark tunnel and Further The Lion has created an energetic anthem that hits perfect for the time. So shake the dust off all the residue of this past twelve months or so, and revel in the Pop Punk track, ‘It’s So Good.’”

                                        “If Tom Waits were to drop a Deep House track, it would sound a whole lot like this.

                                        End of Code delivers a brooding track that offers enough heartbeat and emotion to keep you leaning in. ‘The Fall’ is a nicely balanced track allowing the build and progression to do as much work as the lyrics and vocal performance.”
