Bshortt - Daydreamin’ Freestyle [Review]

January 11, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A freestyle type track with a nice arrangement behind it, giving the song that extra edge to truly stand out. Bshortt delivers a flow that emotes the passion behind the lyrics and the Jazz infused backing adds an extra verve putting ‘Daydreamin’’ into that next level of tracks for me. The writing is strong as well. and keeps you leaning in in anticipation of the next line.”

    Sonny Hendrixx - Poison [Review]

    January 11, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Love is something we all crave and yet there are times we think we’ve found it only to discover the relationship is ‘Poison.’ Sonny Hendrixx deliver a passionate flow that emotes the anger, resentment, and even vulnerability of putting yourself out there and discovering you are in the midst of a toxic relationship that is killing your spirit and resolve.”

      My_Kayla - Dennis Rodman [Review]

      January 11, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Autotune

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This is one of those tracks that will have you feeling yourself with confidence. Dennis Rodman is a legend who lived life free by being his true self. My_Kayla dedicates her new single to him and relates her life to being open and free but overall living it to the fullest. The beat is suspenseful but fill of energy.”

        Hunter Moreau - Sleepyhead [Review]

        January 07, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Bedroom, Electro Pop, Indie Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “We all get stuck in our head and repeat the same old tired refrains we believe to be true, but that often hold us back. Hunter Moreau takes that habit and turns it into an engaging Bedroom Pop track. ‘Sleepyhead’ has enough energy and verve to make the track come alive, yet enough emotional vulnerability to hook and hold and get us all to thinking about our own mental habits. ”

          Cam Blair - RAIN DANCE [Review]

          January 03, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Delivering a melodic flow that hooks and holds, Cam Blair, drops ‘Rain Dance’ on us. The track hits us with an easy groove and build and this infectious rhythm and delivery lends the single an easy to stay on vibe. That construction instills a strong instant connection, but that is not to say the lyrical flow is not intricate and evolved in a way that keeps the song intriguing long past the first listen.”

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Offering an intriguing build, ‘Rush’ from Steerner is a track that sweeps you up and in. Much like the rush of any addiction, it is hard to turn away from and that is exactly what the lyrics here are about. Be it drugs, love, or simply the thrill of a the beat on the dance floor this track is about chasing that vibe and feeling. A clean production and talented delivery brings it all home.”

              The KTNA - B.S (feat. J Warner) [Review]

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “The KTNA delivers what is classified as a B.S ballad. The delivery is poetic and gives a neo soul vibe but in reality no one no longer wants to deal with anyone’s B.S. You emotionally feel the song as a peaceful anthem of meditation to get the courage to say f*ck it all.”

                Dropper - Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley [Review]

                December 17, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

                Rating: 5 out of 5

                “Some songs have a life, or at least aura about them that takes on its own personality and demeanor. ‘Memoirs Of A Working Bowling Alley’ certainly had that for me. The track from Dropper reminded me a bit of Sheryl Crow’s ‘All I Wanna Do’ in its wry perspective of a world full of people plugging along in their own way. The sound is a bit grittier here (in a good way) and perhaps more honest in its approach, but both tracks have true heart to them.

                Frontwoman Andrea Scanniello shared her thoughts about the track. ‘We recorded “Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley” and the rest of our debut album with Andrija Tokic at the Bomb Shelter studio in Nashville. I’ve spent my entire adult life working in various service industry jobs- some more soul sucking than others. One of these jobs was spraying bowling shoes at the local lanes. “Memoirs” is about working these types of jobs and how at times it makes you question humanity and never want to speak to a soul ever again; that emotional drain that can only be experienced when you’re dealing with shitty drunk people night after night.””

                                “Already having made her mark as a model, digital artist, and fashion designer, MIXIE is celebrating her artistic journey into music with her debut single, ‘Run Away.’

                                LGBTQI+ to the bone and current Manhattanite, MIXIE is a renaissance girl for the 21st century. Riding pure Pop tones and Commercial vibe musically, this track is right at home with current hits. The energy and lyrical flow hooks in and doesn’t let go. ”

                                  MiQ The Burb Boy - B.O.M.B.S [Review]

                                  “MiQ The Burb Boy comes in with clear purpose and deliberate, slower flow that burns with steady passion before the arrangement takes a harder edge and builds into a fiery and emotional take. The earnest performance and strong writing make for an engaging track.

                                  Add in a sneaky hook to the beat which helps tie the track together in a tangible way, and this single has everything you could want from a song with true punching power.”

                                    Tyson Trill - Harmony (feat. I.J.) [Music Video Review]

                                    “Tyson Trill convey a chill easy going vibe on his latest track, ‘Harmony.’ The track walks a line between Acoustic Pop and a Hip-Hop. The build and delivery are smooth and tranquil and the groove is an easy one to fall in and lose yourself. The peaceful vibes we need just in time for a hectic weekend for most of us.”

                                      Hayk Keys - Party Of One [Review]

                                      “An accomplished songwriter, Hayk Keys is now writing hits for himself and ‘Party Of One.’ might be the first time you are hearing Keys, but I have a solid hunch it won’t be the last.

                                      The track delivers an engaging energy and lyrical honesty that resonate and keeps the listener invested in the overall build. A fun Commercial sound that gets in and does the job without a bunch of unnecessary production tricks or gimmicks. ”

                                        Arlo Boe - 80's Movie [Review]

                                        “For a lot of people the 80s were the height of Pop music and this tack from Arlo Boe pays homage to the glorious synth sounds of that era. There is a Flashdance and Footloose feel to this track and it certainly would be right at home alongside those soundtracks but there is still a contemporary edge that lifts this one above being merely a tribute to musical glories of decades past. ”
