“The world is going through so much. Instead of progressing its like we are being set back years and years. Reverse Mechanic’s single “Stained Glass” provides musical healing and let’s us know everything will be ok. ”
“Despite what is going on it is good to hear Young Thug on a track. Tommy Stoner’s “Bachelor” is about living your life. Going out, having fun, throwing racks on your own terms. The tempo is intriguing which makes you want to see the visual.”
“The emotions are in the melody. Philip Halloun’s debut single “Don’t Wanna Love You” is about learning to heal from a broken heart but not knowing how to move on. You know you should let go and will let go but your heart won’t let you love again. The emotional hurt can be felt throughout the song as you hope there is a way to change how you feel.”
“I like the snapping of the fingers over the melody. Hard Lights, ECHŌWALL, Jaimes latest single “Stereotype Of A Broken Mind” is about holding on but then questioning yourself and realizing all the reasons you are holding on to something. Sometimes we blame people or use different outlets to escape but the truth is our mind can be broken. ”
“Breakups are maybe the best fodder for songs that there is. Raw emotions and heartache have given us some great and memorable songs and now, Kelaska delivers another great title hitting that theme. ‘Honey’ offers that sweet taste of revenge in Sythnpop glory and so much of what is said mirrors thoughts we’ve all had in this situation.
Despite hitting some familiar ground the arrangement and lyrical makeup blends with vocal talent to make this track stand out and resonate. ”
“We all want to feel and experience something real. This track was specifically written during quarantine by artists missing the energy and emotion of live shows after being relegated to playing for faceless audiences over the computer, the lyrical content has a universal message we can all relate to and appreciate.
This is a songwriter’s ballad, a heartfelt pouring out of emotion that truly transcends gerne and simply is a meaningful and magical song, timeless in sound and appeal. ”
“I loved the writing of this track above all else but that is not to say the vocal talent doesn’t shine as well. There is an honest almost conversational vibe to the lyrical build and the emotive delivery feels every bit as genuine.
Dark and light at the same time this single really simply felt honest and true the way few artists can pull off. Add in a unique vocal tone and songwriting that didn’t really hit me as similar to things I’ve heard before and I was hooked by the talent and uniqueness. ”
“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. ”
