Mia Mormino - Stick-Up [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“I am a sucker for a good story song and a murder ballad certainly fits the bill. okay so Mia Mormino’s track isn’t exactly a ballad with its jazz infused energy and retro scat vibes, but it the story of a pissed off and fed up Burlesque dancer ready to exact her revenge on the men who expect more from her than she is willing to give.

Mormino’s talent brings it all to life and the writing is dead on. Pun intended. My only wish is there was a bad ass video to give some imagery to this track. ”

Lexi Berg - Lonely World [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Life is forever changing. We often let it pass us by because we are not paying attention to our surroundings. In some aspect we are all connected and there are many strangers there willing to lend a helping hand. In Lexi Berg’s new single we discovered even though they say it’s a “Lonely World” the world actually is filled with hope and hearts.”

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Stay Gldn delivers and electro pop melody in their debut single “Bloom”. The single speaks on ending a relationship too early without watering it after it was planted. All relationships take time to glow but in this song it ended before it was able to “Bloom”

Cuttaman 100Gran - Rich Porter [Review]

Review: 3.5 out of 5

“Cuttaman 100Gram reminds me of Kevin Gates with his deep and direct vocals that you just can’t stop listening to. His new single “Rich Porter” references his hustle to the late harlemite Rich Porter.

Cuttaman speaks on how hard the grind is and everyone wants you but he also keeps a girl next to him with no issue.”

John Adams - Ripcord [Review]

“Skydivers pull their ‘Ripcord’ to stop their freefall and open the parachute to safely land. This song is about falling in love and how their is no ripcord or safety device to make falling in love gentle and easy.

John Adams offers a timeless vocal style that is both emotive and heartfelt. This is a track to add to your relationship playlists or to share with the one you are falling for. The track offers a big bold progression that easily carries you along.”

Chloe Lilac - 10 Things [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Chloe Lilac does not pull any punches in her latest single, ‘10 Things.’ Never piss of a writer and especially a songwriter as they can and will use those emotions to fight back. The writing here is strong and the emotion behind the delivery works well in this revenge track of sorts. There is a Pop, almost Punk vibe that hooks the listener in and keep them invested in the lyrical build. ”

DJ Zenas x Ramond - The Spot [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Labor Day brings both party vibes, and a subtle brand of sadness as you realize summer is coming to an end. This track from DJ Zenas captures both of those vibes.

’The Spot’ comes with a groove and rhythm that feels like sipping a cold drink beside a warm pool, but the party is coming to an end and with that limited time this single feels like a Sunday afternoon as another long weeks looms ahead.

The dynamics here gives you all the feels.”

Rating: 5 out of 5

“ You ever been lost and unsure which direction you are going? Sometimes it can be from life hitting you hard and others times it can be from you trying to escape yourself.

Roma’s new single “Under My Shirt” is a self reflection ballad of finding yourself. Visually walking us through life’s interaction just to reveal how he goes back to a small part of sadness but he still manages to function through it all and find his self on his own.”

Calabasas x Marc E Bassy - Voices [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Pop duo Calabasas teams up with the vocal talents of Marc E Bassy on this track. “voices’ is a groove and a vibe that utilizes a perfect production and build to convey the lyrical intent.

Madisyn Gifford - Nice Things [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Madisyn Gifford has that unique tone and quality that makes you feel as if she is a close persona’ friend you’ve known her for years. ‘Nice Things’ feels like a confessional of sorts, but in that fun and joking kind of way that friends banter.

This Pop track simply feels real and genuine and keeps you leaning in start to finish. The writing takes a unique spin on the usual break up tropes we’ve all heard so often.”

Signe - Kerosene Stars [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Finding a connection in a rushed and hurried world is tough no matter if that desired connection is romantic of nature or not. Signe drops this single which takes those emotions and distills them into a glimmering track that connects with its tender vulnerability. ‘Kerosene Stars’ comes with an emotive delivery and meaningful lyrics and an overall epic feel to the build. ”

Bootleg Rascal - Sharks (Remix en Español) [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Bootleg Rascal gives us a track that hits like a Bad Bunny/Jack Johnson Reggae fusion. The rhythm and musical groove hook you in and the mix of languages lyrically works well to keep the track fresh and exotic in its sound. This is simply one of those songs that seduces you and gets you singing along even in the places you don’t understand the language. ”

Tom Mackell - Gone [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Tom Mackell honors his mother and all of those who touch our lives and are ‘Gone’ far too early. The emotive track serves as a good reminder without dipping into the morose or forced sentimentality. The track has an Americana vibe and for those not familiar of with the genre think of Springsteen and Petty with a dash of bluesy country to the overall sound. This is simply a well-written and meaningful song delivered with heart.”

DxBoY - Lit Again [Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“DxBoy makes the most of this Trap beat and flow. ‘Lit Again’ is an ode to escaping lockdown and getting out there in the world alongside people and finding your vibe. The track comes with an easy beat to fall in on the groove and the lyrical flow hooks and holds the listener as well. Short but no so short that the flow doesn’t grab you and make its point. ”

Tim Buds - Moonchild [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Tim Buds’s “Moonchild” is an out of space single that will have you having an out of body experience. His second release of the year speaks on insomnia and not really knowing which direction to go in life. You began to chase your dreams but not all dreams are reality.”
