“A sports anthem that would feel right at home in a videogame soundtrack or in any arena or stadium. From the court tot he field, Wes Linden delivers a hard hitting flow that establishes a hook and rhythm right from the start. Lyrically the track has enough to hold you, but really it is the hook and vibe that carries the track alongside the vocal talent.”
“Gwyn Love has the kind of emotive voice that hooks you from the first word. This track has some Pop Punk elements that have a 90s nostalgia feel but also some Contemporary Pop vibes that make it feel modern and timely. Almost in the vein of Taylor Swift collabs with Green Day. Well-written and sneakily pointed the track keeps you leaning in and eager for the next line. ”
“It’s summer and we all love a good summer anthem. The Moniker ‘s latest single “Thank You For The Summer” is about dreams, fun, and the sun of course. When winter comes and goes the excitement of the things you can do in the summer is a breath of fresh air.”
“Maria Krass’s latest single “Let Me In” is emotional but tells a story. A story of allowing someone to help you when you feel alone and like you have no one to talk to. Before you give up you have to allow someone to help you especially if they really care about your well being.”
“This hard-hitting track takes a look at what it feels like to be stuck in the heavy mud of addiction. Personal responsibility is one thing, but the systemic problem created by a capitalistic society is the culprit in the cross hairs here of this flow which blends Rap and an Alternative Rock style to deliver the message. This is a song that has the power to make people stop and think about this problem and the people fighting to stay above ground.”
“A fun honest track about the intricacies of a relationship and how an observant and caring partner can simply know what’s going on. The track is light, but still impactful and simply feels genuine in ways few songs pull off. Kenny Sharp believes what he is singing and that comes through in every line and moment.
’Good Gemini’ is the kind of song that might never pull in the masses but will instill a deep connection with those who take the time and truly feel the lyrics and nuance of the performance. An artful track one might say.”
“This new track starts out feeling a bit like the musical version of the teen Classic, The Breakfast Club but for those who have never seen the classic movie here is a bit from her publicist about the track ...
Andi’s new track, ‘Devil’s Work,’ is a piano-driven ballad ruminating on the heartbreak that comes from not feeling worthy. Andi’s vocals soar as her yearning falsetto lingers with the weight of her words. Not just a reflection but a call to action, Andi’s “Devil’s Work” speaks directly to those struggling with their mental health and self-acceptance.
Andi goes into detail below:
’This song was inspired by the lack of open conversation about mental health. So many people portray perfect lives online yet are struggling behind the scenes. The lyric, “Her reflection shows her ribcage but she thinks she weighs too much,” portrays the reality of this day in age - especially on social media. There is a beauty standard that is so unattainable that young girls and boys are unable to see themselves clearly. I want this song to help people get through tough times that feel impossible to get through.
The line, “magazines have editors and makeup does the devils work,” is another metaphor for social media setting unhealthy standards. You aren’t seeing the editing of the pictures, posing, fake lighting; you’re just getting the final product. This is so unhealthy for young boys and girls.”
“Straight up Rock and Roll energy from the very beginning! Redwoods is delivering that supercharge brand of rock that bands tend to shy away from for some reason. here, “On The Weekend’ is all about getting our there and having a good time. Just letting yourself enjoy things as they come. Like a blend of old school Loverboy meets to Foo Fighters. ”
“It’s that time of year again where friends gather poolside, or at the beach, or maybe on the shores of a lake. Wherever there is water and good times the Summer sun beckons those looking to hang out and find a sexy partner to sidle up with as the day close to an end with a glowing sunset.
Luni rides that line well setting the mood with ‘Summer Time Fine,’ a track perfect for singing along with and finding your personal brand of warmth.”
“The struggle is real when you are landlocked and craving to feel those sweet rollicking waves under your board. This track is an ode to the surfing road trip and the melodic groove is a vibe without a doubt.
Add it to your playlist and come along for the ride. Bask in the tasty waves of this track as you ‘Rundown’ to the ocean along with aedie and his crew.”
“This duet is heavy on both emotion and talent. Drew Schueler and Kiki Halliday deliver emotive vocals to this well-written tracks about how we tend to linger far too long in relationship even when there has been irreparable damage to the foundation.
’Ruins’ is the perfect metaphor and this track truly brings out the nuances and layers of the human condition under such transformative times.”
“A smooth R&B/Rap blend for the warm summer days and those sexy poolside parties. Ice Meez and Trill Lee team on this track to deliver a soulful groove that hits as hard lyrically as it slides easily through the ears melodically.
Get out there with a drink in your hand a the sun on your face and ‘Swim,’ but don’t spill that beverage when your gliding to the groove.”
“A soft vulnerable track that hit me like Adele, if she had been a Pop Diva in the 80’s.
Oliver Nelson and Lilla Vargen combine forces to bring this engaging track to your ears. A track that would be perfect for the quiet montage after a break up in a Rom Com, ‘Long Summer Nights’ is an sensitive ride that pulls at the heart strings. ”
“Bad Taste and Farmboy Slim team to deliver this fun, prickly ride. There are retro vibes of the Beastie Boys and a bit of techno Fatboy Slim Funk vibes as well, but the track really has that eccentric feel that is tough to pin down.
The LA brothers created the track after a psychedelic experience in the desert and you can tell in the best ways that it came from a freethinking mindset. A fun track with a twist and sharp pointed poke at every turn. Get ready to move and smile and reflect a bit as well.”
“Written and inspired over Zoom calls amid the pandemic this track is about that instant connection and falling in love fast. Sometimes the spark is too bright to ignore and this track does a great job of capturing that in a diary kind of candid openness that feels natural and true. Just like the way it feels when you know without a doubt how you feel about someone else. ”
“This is the kind of Alt Rock song you don’t hear as much these days, but fans of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden will find it easy to dial in and connect with the track. All will others because the single offers a timeless set of vocals that is lacking in today’s charts. Talented and emotive, this build holds the listener tight and keeps them leaning in. The melody and musicianship are every bit as strong.
The hard edges make this one easy to love. ”
“An intriguing song on the vocal talent and arrangement alone, but that is not all Neville and her single, ‘VINCENT VAN GOGH’ offers. The writing is sharp, and makes it’s point by highlighting the unnecessary and stupid challenges that women face in society.
This is a Pop track with some Electro vibes to it. A track you can move to or reflect on, and either way it offers nice attitude and a bit of verve that makes it truly come alive.”
“Dre come sin with passion and grit and the beat production adds to the vibe with perfection. There is a bit of old school intensity tot he flow though the construction and vibe is pure contemporary. ‘B-Sides’ is a free flowing track with nuance and confidence pushing the vocals. Lyrically it is the kind of track that keeps giving with each listen so add it to your playlists and dig in truly feeling the talented writing and performance. . ”
“‘When you fall for someone you choose the good days along with the bad days. You invite all their crazy and amazing parts alike. With that, you give all the love you got in return. That’s what ‘Give You Love’ is all about. It’s accepting the people you love for all they are and loving them for it!’ – FOREST BLAKK
Sometimes as a reviewer it is best to get out of the way and let the artist tell you what the track is about. That said, this track is one that is intricately written and the emotion comes out even more with each and every listen. A song that paints a picture along with am emotional portrait of a love and relationship. ”
“Online dating can be an ugly mess but ‘Orange’ is all about a Tinder date going right. The writing and emotion shine making you feel as if you are right there feeling that spark of instant chemistry and Estella Dan’s vocals are the perfect vessel to let you sail away on these rare waters.
Magic can and does till happen for those patient and brave enough to wait it out. Both in the dating world, and in discovering new music. This song offers hope for both. ”
