Khamari - Doctor, My Eyes [Review]

November 14, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, R&B, Alternative

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A soft acoustical track of heartfelt vulnerability, ‘Doctor, My Eyes’ is not the track you might expect, but it is the track you need.

Khamari showcases his artistic talents in both the delivery and the writing of this emotionally laden single. This is a song you feel as much as hear, and it definitely conveys a mood of melancholy and hopeful observance than we have all felt from time to time.”

    Faded Rose - Judgment Day [Review]

    November 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Americana, Alternative, Country, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Faded Rose delivers a sound that falls somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Maranda Lambert. Perhaps a touch more commercial than Lucinda, but still with that jaded and ticked off attitude. Faded Rose is not quite as commercial as Lambert, but still possesses that same strong feminine determination that has made Miranda a star. ‘Judgement Day’ is a well-written track with emotion and musical punch to make you feel it deep in your bones.”

      FANGZ - Won't Be Me [Review]

      November 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Punk, Rock

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Energy and passion can make make for an engaging track, and when the musical talent shines just as boldly as those elements — the music truly comes alive. FANGZ has created just such a track with ‘Won’t Be Me,’ a hard charged Punk anthem about sticking with a relationship even as the wheels fall off. You know it is doomed, but still you want for the end rather than bring it about.”

        Ottomatick - Wait A Minute (Ft. Wild Hypnotik) [Review]

        November 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Trap, Hip-Hop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Ottomatick drops ‘Wait A Minute,’ a track that immediately establishes a mood with haunting vocals that he accentuates with his deliberate flow and writing. A track that speaks in multiple voices to deliver emotion and intrigue. The flow here isn’t fast or furious but it dies come with passion and intent the give and take between the two deliveries adds to the feeling of being swept along. ”

          Fuhr - Goodbye [Review]

          November 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Fuhr conjures thoughts of Avicii on the track ‘Goodbye.’ Described as a love song that you can dance to, the single comes alive thanks to both a talented vocal performance and a spot on production that adds energy and emotion to layer up the piece and make it truly feel alive. ”

            “This is a track that you find yourself clapping and singing along in a happy place. Puffhost new single “Children” talks about despite being adults we all still carry our inner kid with us. Everything doesn’t have to be serious and we can pause and really enjoy things in life. Adulting may suck sometimes but we must remember we all are just children and we still must live and enjoy life. ”

                “There’s good and there’s bad. Some people have to decide which part of them they want to listen to. The Astronomers new single “Bad Type” is pointing out the things people tend to do wrong without really knowing they are doing it. Lies or stretching the truth can make someone bad when it comes to feelings. The song overall has a nice tempo and ends with a powerful outro. ”

                  “Zo delivers power and passion and of course talent on this track. “Never Meant’ is the track Stevie Nicks and Florence and the Machine would team up to create and the emotion is tangible in every single line. The passion lands with razor sharp talons and grabs on like a raptor intent to instill its will. That might sound harsh, but this track is anything but. Simply intense and purposeful.”

                    “This is masterfully constructed track. LA’s Kayla DiVenere utilizes not only her vocal talent to instill a mood, but the arrangement plays a huge role in conveying the emotion and feeling behind the well-written lyrics.

                    Coming with a Commercial Pop Punk sound ‘PSYCHOPATH’ delivers an up and down tempo that matches the impact of the writing and keeps the listener guessing what will come next as they lean in and lose the world around them.”

                      “We have all been burned by our ‘Feelings,’ and this track is a soft slow building track that makes us feel that rising tide of emotion once again.

                      The vocals are vulnerable and invite you in and the production gets out of the way while still instilling an added layer to to the mood of this smooth track. This is one to add to your playlist you go to when your heart is heavy and the world feels like it has the upper hand.”

                        This track is an anthem you can belt out when the world has backed you into a corner. Solid Alternative Rock with an edge and hint of Pop Punk/Hip-Hop fusion.”

                          “Sarah Gross joins a growing movement of talented women pouring their heart and soul out with Folk driven Americana. Currently, Brandi Carlilse is the name many associate with this sound, but Gross offers a softer vocal style that stands on its own. This track, like the rest of the EP is written about the New York town she grew up in and the rich slate of characters that Gross walked beside over the years.”

                            ’Cannot Tell A Lie’ is the kind of track that rallies the women fed up with men’s shit, and that makes it a power anthem of sorts, but as a man myself I too can appreciate the talent and energy behind both the performance and the writing.

                              “Jaci Butler comes straight at you with a flow that is more Punk Pop than Hip-Hop. The track grabs and holds you through the entre progression.

                              Get ready to party with this single that takes you ‘Straight to the Bank.’ I was reminded of Gwen Stefani for sure, but Butler brings enough verve and energy of her own to make this track stand out as more than a single inspired by the works of others. This is a fun party vibe and one that works quite well.”

                                “LA artist, Kellen Joseph offers up this emotive and vulnerable Rock track dealing with grief. The emotive vocal talent brings to life the well-written track that instills the sense of loss and confusion when the entire world seems to be moving on and you are still stuck in that place of sorrow.

                                This track has just a hint of Hip-Hop vibe, but really is more in line with the Alternative Rock sound of the late 90s or early 2000’s.”

                                  “An ode to gritty teenage romance, ‘Ireland in 2009’ is packed with soaring vocals, anthemic production and Caroline Romano’s signature unfiltered lyricism. “It’s a story of falling in love in car parks and waking up in your school clothes,” she says. “It’s about being far too young to know anything at all and the all-or-nothing emotions that come with juvenescence.”

                                  For me the song simply has heart and emption and a genuine ”

                                    MJ Wood - You Are [Review]

                                    “There is an old school feel on the fringe of MJ Wood’s latest single ‘You Are,’ and yet the song feels decidedly contemporary. I hear influences from the past from talented artists such as Phil Collins, but the track still is fresh and original as well, and that is a testament to the artistry and passion behind the song.

                                    Written as a love song to his wife, the lyrics are heartfelt and genuine and that shines in every moment.”

                                      “Finding your personal ‘Okay’ in the face of turmoil is never easy, but sometimes trying is all we can do, becasur hte ugly truth is .... not everything is magically made better by time, medicine, or anything else. Anna Dellaria captures this with a delicate and haunting beauty with her tender and talented vocal performance. The track lifts and soars and dips and dives as does our lives and this track feels much like the ride we call life.”

                                        “Sneaky clever writing and attitude lift this track from Maximillian Thanksalot above the fray. ‘Toe on the Trigger’ is an in your face Pop Punk track that blends intense lyrics and hard guitar licks to create a vibe that carries the day.

                                        This is the kind of track you have to give a few listens to pick up on everything being laud down but you won’t mind at all. A true mood setter. ”
