“There’s nothing like a little motivation to get you started. Big boss Vette comes in real “Heavy” in her new track “Heavy”. I am not a rapper but I found myself acting like I was in the booth with her on this track. She is direct and serious but most importantly confident. She speaks on being at her lowest and having no one but herself, hahah. ”
“Life is short. We tend to wonder what “If”. Neverwaves and Outsider X latest single “Drop Dead” releases the thoughts of what if they died tomorrow. The intro comes in a more solo sound accompanied by a EDM production. It goes from serious to encouraging you to rock out with it.”
“Neverwaves fearlessly mines the darkest parts of his spirit for inspiration, transforming his pain, triumph, and trauma into emotionally hectic songs. Not beholden to any one genre, he has made a name for himself with a gift for his revealing, diary-like lyrics. A thoroughly modern product of the emo/punk revival, he is reluctantly building a reputation as a messenger for disaffected kids everywhere.”

“At only 20 years of age, Caroline Romano delivers a strong sense of emotional wisdom that permeates from her every performance. ‘Panic Attack’ is a slow building emotionally charge track that comes with the strong personal sense of a Taylor Swift Song and the strong vulnerability of Pink all with a unique edge that makes Romano her own star.”
“LVRBOY releases this lyrically intricate track about friendship and bad relationships. ‘sick of me’ is about friends sick of seeing you give a n ex chance after chance when they are undeserving and the conflicting emotions of being caught up in the middle. The sound is bold and as much Rock as Pop, but blends the lines quite well. ”
“An emotional ode that resonates thanks to a talented performance and clean production. Restless Modern creates a smooth sound and intriguing build to accompany the strong writing and heartfelt set of lyrics. A solid track that means more with every listen. ”
“Fans of Nathaniel Rateliff and Leon Bridges will dig Jess Roper’s sound. Coming in somewhere in between those two well know acts, Roper delivers a big bold sound, and a soulful groove that holds the listener as well as it hooks initially.
’Hold On Me’ is a an anthem of love. A big musical amen shouted to the heavens in appreciation of the one that captures your intrigue.”
“Sex and music fit together like ... Well, I better not run with that simile but let’s simply say that sometimes its fun to fall in on a song that celebrates our primal urges.
’Let’s Dance’ from Olivia Wik basks in the euphoria and glow of that charged sexual energy of lust and love, making this track the perfect addition to that playlist you have been curating for the occasion. Listen to the track, feel the infectious rhythm and spirit, then share it with your favorite dance partner.”
“Indie Rock and Roll as it should be. Straight away you can feel the attitude and confidence both in the vocals and musically. Big Orange is doing Australia proud with this timeless rock track that isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but simply keep alive a spirit and set of ideal that music lovers have been turning toward for decades.
Big Orange makes it seem easy here, but creating genuine and passionate music such as this is no easy feat. ”
“Sometimes we love the idea of someone or something more than the actual person or thing. Madisyn Gifford drops this track about moving on from a relationship while missing not the person but all the external variables that made up their surrounding while together. The vocal delivery is honest and borders on vulnerability mixed with regret. Lyrically the track is almost a stream of conscious vibe that we all do when contemplating how things used to be. ”
“A classic Pop sound and arrangement brings out this track about modern day cheating. Haiden is quick to say ‘Can’t Hurt Me,’ but that title is a bit of a misnomer as the lyrical build is all about being hurt and scared and feeling that relationship slipping away. With a side dish of sticking your hand in the sand, to avoid feeling the torture of emotional pain.”
“LA on Lock is proud to premier this new single from STAY GLDN. ‘Dead Ends, Fake Friends’ is the antithesis of nostalgia. There are many track about going home again but this British band puts a different spin by lamenting the fact they did not leave all that much behind when the left the nest.
This Indie/Dream Pop track conveys the memories and emotions and the simple video works well to help convey the relived brand of melancholy the song puts off. ”
“Jack Kane expresses vulnerability in his slow and tender delivery of ‘Come to Terms.’ The emotion is tangible in every line and the build carries the listener forward as we feel every word. We’ve all had to come to terms with some bit of grief be it from a loss of life or loss of relationship. Emerging on the other side of dark times is a process, but this is the kind of song that can ease the pain and let us know we are not alone.”
“Pure energy and ‘Mood!’
AZSH delivers an Electro Pop track infused with a bit of South Beach flair and panache. A big infectious beat, and a nice lyrical hook bring this single to life and you’ll be hard pressed not to sing along and move to this groove. Add this high-energy track to that playlist you go to when you need a jolt to motivate yourself to get up and going.”
“We’ve all spotted that person that captivates us with their looks, only to be disappointed once that person opens their mouth. ‘Wish I Could Want You’ takes a lap around that emotional pool, but does so with powerful vocals and a wry set of lyrics that makes this track not only a smooth groove, but a stunning bit of sarcasm that lands all of its lyrical punches.
The video will have you ready to hit the lake. Can’t wait to hear more music from this talented artist. ”
“Riding a nostalgic, jazzy hip hop vibe, this track by a Hawaiian Grammy winner, and a rapper from the DMV by way of Ghana, is about the neighborhoods they grew up in ‘Back Home.’
The flows are laidback but passionate and genuine and the lyrics feel a bit like a freestyle with genuine emotion backing it all. ”
“The gravel in the vocals provides instant emotional connection, and while the track does have a slight retro feel of the mid 90s to early 200s sound it does so more as a homage than a reliance. That gives the track a fresh contemporary feel on top of that familiarity. The emotional resonance carries the day and a down tempo shift at the end of the song really brought it all home for me. ”
“Nostalgia and melancholy ride tandem in this track from Hamburg’s RIVER. ‘Someday’ is the kind of track that can mean different things to you from day to day depending on your own mood and headspace, but no matter what you take away the easy groove and clever writing will engage you and pull you deep inside the rhythm of this Indie Rock effort. ”
“Vezza teams up with American Idol alum Carly Moffa on this track about sacrificing your comfort in pursuit of chasing your dreams. With a bold commercial sound, ‘Won’t Apologize’ is almost an open letter to those you left back in your hometown to explain why you left and why its not a bad thing even though it does come with a certain level of uncertainty and anxiety. ”
“ZUSO captures a bit of magic with the track, ‘Melt Like Gold.’ The track has an ethereal dreamlike vibe, but instead of leaving you in a trance of disassociation the song calms and mesmerizes in a way that relaxes and keeps you engaged at the same time.
At just over 5 minutes the song is long, but still I found myself wanting more. A mood setting track to reset your mind and body.”
“JuneJune’s “Thangzzz” has a nostalgic sound to it. It brings back the classic date night where the night is full of fun and vibes. The single focuses on night vibes and wanting to have fun with the one you are with. Listening to what your date wants to do and vibing with one another.”
