Rallie - Too Good [Review]

June 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Sultry and seductive, Rallie unfurls ‘Too Good’ in tantalizing fashion. The track has the sexual energy of a classic Prince song and the devilish spirit of good girls gone bad.

A fun listen with enough of a Pop style production to give it a glossy Commercial vibe. This feels like a 2021 Summer hit in the waiting. ”

    Bridge City Revival - Lucky Me feat. Arietta Ward [Review]

    June 05, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “I don’t know much at all about the Portland Soul scene, but if it sounds anything like this, it is time I booked a plane ticket for Oregon.

    Bridge City Revival, in conjunction with Arietta Ward, drops this easy groove titles ‘Lucky Me.’ The track comes with that timeless Soul you never know you need to feel, until it is filling your ears prompting the question ... where has this sound been?”

      EMELINE - flowers & sex [Review]

      June 05, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “She means it when she says .... All I want is ‘Flowers & Sex.’

      EMELINE speaks her intentions with direct clarity on this Electro Pop track that hooks you in immediately. The alluring production and sultry delivery work in perfect unison to establish a mood. And that mood is get to it, and quit talking about it.”

        Moemaw Naedon & Calig Kontra - Futura Dystopia [Review]

        June 05, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Moemaw Naedon and Calig Kontra have captured a mood with ‘Future Dystopia.’ Described as a post apocalyptic banger, this track unfurls with procision hitting its mark every step of the way.

        The old school flow meshes well with the hard-edged beat and build of the track, making it feel futuristic while maintaining the tones and edge of a foundation too many other artists run from these days. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Wavy guitar licks and a smooth sultry vibe ushers in this track from ASTN. ‘It’s Not That Serious’ offers a timeless sort of sound that lures the listener in and wraps around them like a warm blanket on a dark chilly night. Call it soulful R7B with just enough of a pop undertone to keep the track relatable for music lovers. ”

            Travis James x Esteva - Miss Those Days [Review]

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Earnest and honest songwriting brought to life by emotional performances always have a leg up on the competition, and that is exactly what this track delivers. Travis James and Esteva team up on this duet of a couple that once was, but now is trying desperately to move on. However, cutting those bonds is tough and ‘Miss Those Days’ is a emotive, Indie Pop look at the struggle to find a new path. ”

              “An anthem for Gen Z, ‘johnnysixteen’ is a smooth Pop groove telling the story of a young man trying a find his place in the world. That theme is of course universal through the ages, but Mustafa Sal does a great job of capturing the thoughts, fears and attitudes of his generation. ”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Trip Carter’s somes with a distinct raspy vocal style that emotes the light but direct attitude of this lyrical flow. He shares, ‘This song is about the feeling you get when you’re finally out of a bad situation. When you’re fresh out of jail, work, quarantine, or a toxic relationship, the energy is unmatched. You can finally breathe, blow off some steam and look forward to new possibilities.’

                The track is a genre ender but comes with a steady easy groove that pulls you in and holds you there. ”

                  “Riley Michaels offers up a classic sound that is perfect for those nights when you are sitting and drinking alone, or equally for ones where you pull the one you love close and slow dance across the warped wood of a dive bar or the smooth tile of your kitchen floor.

                  ’Someone Like You’ is simply a classic sound that defies both genre and decade.”

                    “This track from Gravity Circus gave me White Stripes vibes right from the start. WIth a bendy and brooding arrangement the build and progression offers a bit of funky Rock and Roll spirit, with a hardcore edge lurking there in the background. This is a hard track to to join in and sing along with by the second run through the chorus. ”

                              “This track took top honors in what the New York Times describes as the Olympics of songwriting, and one listen is enough to see why.

                              ’Jocelyn’ is the tale of an Irish immigrant living in New York and brings to light both the triumphs and struggles of a different time and generation. A timeless, storytelling set of lyrics that offers both hope and heartbreak and a wealth of emotion are delivered in an emotive rasp reminiscent of Tom Waits.”

                                “For everyone who who has boldly proclaimed IDGAF!, ‘I Don’t Care,’ is the title track for the soundtrack of your life. FAANGS infuses the single with attitude and a reserved brand of disdain for the world. The track is both an Electro Pop party anthem, and a self-reflective ode to doing your own thing all at the same time. And the video adds a nice touch of imagery to aid in the mood. ”

                                  The Satellite Station - For The Coast [Review]

                                  “The Satellite Station offers up a haunting distant sound that perfectly convey the emotions of this track. ‘For The Coast’ is a melancholic ode reflection about starting over and finding the courage to venture out an reinvent yourself in some new and unexpected way. ”

                                    Joel Ansett - Expectations [Review]

                                    May 14, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop
                                    “Joel Ansett deliver the smooth vulnerable vocals and emotional vibes that define the singer/songwriter genre on his latest track, ‘Expectations.’ We have all wrestled with our expectations, and this track does an exemplary job of putting that struggle into a tangle song that is easy to fall in on and lose yourself in thought. ”

                                      “This track offers a nice Latin Pop vibe in conjunction with a Rap flow and the two mesh and blend well to bring out the flavor of the track. ‘Love Is The Answer] comes with a nice hook and energy straight away and in that it is easy to lose the world around you and fall into the track. Nice tune to add to any summer vibes playlist. ”

                                        “Hilary Watson has the kind of timeless vocals that fits most any time period or genre. Stepping away from her normal vocal duo in this solo effort, Watson offers up a bluesy roots sound that comes with a bit of a wry twist, lyrically. ”
