Haiden - Sorry To Your Next Ex [Review]

March 18, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Taking a unique approach to the conventional break-up song, Haiden unleashes a lyrical masterpiece with ‘Sorry To Your Next Ex.’ The irony and wordplay are the perfect dig for that ex that put you through an ordeal. Like a backhanded compliment, the track slap with force and hooks the listener emotionally if they have ever been there. The Pop delivery is contemporary and spot on. ”

    SEKI - Need A Moment [Review]

    March 18, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Electronic, Indie Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “SEKI delivers a soft emotive set of vocals to usher in the track, ‘Need A Moment.’ there is a hint of the 80s in the build but the vocal delivery feels entirely contemporary and the track has that calming inspirational vibe that leaves the listener feeling positive and and uplifted.

    A track to celebrate the ones you love and the joys of this world. ”

      Kelsey Gill - Rob Me Blind [Review]

      March 16, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Kelsey Gill starts the track off with a hearty bit of attitude, and then unleashes her vocal range and talent to set the hook. The sound reminded me a bit of Christina Aguilera with a touch mor of a soulful Pop groove lurking to create a different vibe. Lyrically, the track feels tight and holds the attention of the listener, but for me it was the groove and rhythm that really shined alongside the vocal talent to make the song come alive.”

        “This track infuses sounds and vocals to create an interesting sound of desire. Ria Barkr’s “Work For It” explains how someone is so pulled in by attention. The continued to play games just to see how far the person is willing to go to get what they want.”

          “A collaborative effort from two of the Netherlands biggest EDM artists, ‘Love We Lost’ features the talents of Armin van Buuren and R3HAB along with the talents of Simon Ward.

          The energy and uplifting vibes are exactly what you would expect from this trio of gifted artists and the track is one that sweeps you up and in almost immediately. Big bold sounds and an engaging build are the trademarks of the song and the production brings everything home to create an engaging single.”

            K PRICE - TRUË RELIGION [Review]

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Inspired by tequila, weed and a good melody, brand new track, “TRUË RELIGION,” is one to play when you need some good energy. K Price drops a steady flow with just enough production behind it to set it off and establish an easy groove to ride with.

            The track offers a vibe that you can fall in and let carry you away from the everyday. No need to reinvent the process when you have talent and can drop in engaging writing and a dope beat. ”

              Rgm Bugsy - Rgm the Mobb [Review]

              March 11, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Rgm Bugsy is a back and forth flow with an intriguing up and down rhythm and give and take vibe to the lyrical punches. The groove hooks, and the writing is sharp and lands thanks to a steady, but well-timed cadence. There is a good bit going on and it might take a few listens, but the track is interesting from the first go and only improves with familiarity.”

                “We have all shed some blood, at least metaphorically, in the name of love. Connor Kauffman has tapped that emotional vein on this passionate track that has a hint of 90s Rock along with a contemporary Pop Punk vibe at times.

                ’Bleed’ offers a catchy hook and a lyrical progression that is easy to dial in on and sing along with. Straightforward Rock that speaks to the heart.”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Written immediately after a trip to Ireland, ‘St. Stephen’s Green’ is a Punk Pop track with a nice bit of reflective emotion pushing it forward. We all get in our own way from time to time and let our emotions color the world around us. this can spoil our own joy as well as our relationships and just recognizing that fact can be all we need to find solid ground once again. This track just might help, as with a lot of great art, it simple resonates in a way that lets us know we are not alone in our thoughts feelings, and anxieties. ”

                    “Delivering her vocal with Punk laced Pop sound, hanna ögonsten captures the emotional energy of the writing very well. Hailing from Sweden, the artist has a powerful and emotive delivery that keeps the listener leaning in for the duration, but don’t sleep on the songwriting as lyrically the track packs a punch as well. ”

                        “Inspired the unfinished TV of the same title, ‘Last Man on Earth’ is a wryly sharp track about the end of times and the few people that remain left behind. The imagery of the video is as entertaining as the actual song.

                        Anna Bates is a talented songwriter and here she delivers an emotive track that comes with humor and emotion — a rare combination to get right. The track has a folksy vibe at times, and feels light and airy, but lyrically the song covers a realm of emotions.”

                                  Mykel - Maybe [Review]

                                  March 03, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B
                                  “Mykel is done wasting time in a dead-end relationship and issues a last-chance ultimatum in her new single ‘Maybe.’ A stripped-down, R&B ballad in the same vein as ‘Resentment’ by Beyoncé, ‘Maybe’ features bluesy guitar and Mykel’s confident, wide-ranging vocals, with a message of empowerment that will resonate with anyone who’s tired of dealing with an emotionally unavailable partner.

                                  The track comes with a smooth groove and build and those sultry vocals that make it clear the one that pissed her off is surely going to regret it somewhere down the road.”

                                    “This track is all about energy, and this is one ‘Highway’ that flows freely with no chance of a snarl to slow you down. Some songs are made to play while you hit the road, and this is one of them. Add the track to your driving playlist and head out where the air can blow through your hair and the sun will warm your face. You will be singing along to the chorus before you reach cruising speed.”

                                      Becky HIll x Galantis - Run [Music Video Review]

                                      “Becky Hill is a phenomenal talent, and her latest single ‘Run’ is another triumph for this talent Brit. Teaming up with Swedish group Galantis, this big bold offering is an epic conversation about how we run from love after being hurt a few times. The uplifting nature of the melody and build lends the track an almost motivational quality and serves as a reminder to us all that there is power in the vulnerability of keeping our hearts open to the idea of love. ”

                                        “LA duo Limón Limón offers up this intriguing bop about the ‘Weird Vibes’ of our times. History has definitely taken an odd turn and this track captures the sentiments of most of us as we try to navigate our way through the mud and muck. A steady beat and tight vocals keep the track running straight and the strong writing brings home the points as well as the emotions of the track. ”
