“Ice Meez is bringing the West Coast vibes on his latest track, ‘What It Do.” Sharp lyrical punches land with precision and power, and the beat hooks the listener to pull them along.
Ice Meez knows how to create a vibe and he does so here with a skilled expertise. The track does a good job of fitting in the space between old school and contemporary and no matter the era this one simply hits.”
“Raw and emotional, Jake Dillon delivers this track alongside talented vocalists Giavanna. This track has an Indie Rock Singer/Songwriter vibe, but is also right at home in the the world of Americana. Well-written and delivered by both parties with an emotive force, ‘Winner’ is indeed exactly that.
Stripped down and spare in the best of ways, this is a song to both feel and listen to over and over again.”
“A high energy Pop track with one foot planted in the retro sound of the 80s and the other here in the present to give the song a nice contemporary Commercial vibe.
Rhea Ray delivers a pleasing performance with ‘Wild One.’ The temp and build keep it all interesting though I did crave more lyrical depth overall. Still, this is a fun party time track about the roller coaster ride of infatuation and love and how we all crave another hit soon as the high fades. ”
“Nazzy the Mic is a talented young artis I have been keeping my eyes and ears on for awhile. Here in this track, Nazzy delivers a smooth unconventional love song. The flow is fire and while at times I craved less production to better allow the emotions to come through, the song is too good to let a small thing stop the world from digging in.
’Cheatin’ is a new twist on side pieces, and it comes from a voice the Rap world could use more of. Nazzy the Mic always delivers solid emotion especially for an artist so young.”
“LA troubadour Ethan Buckner comes with a smooth Indie Pop Folk vibe on ‘Wavering.’ The musical side has a tasty and evocative feel that ranges from smooth oceanscapes to a mor theatrical brand of brooding and though that build the lyrical progression pulls the listener along for the ride.
This is a track to listen to on repeat to pick up on all the emotions and nuance and I am here for it.”
“The worn out cliche of love is blind is one we’ve all heard, but MAdison Taylor takes that idea farther with ‘Golden image,’
The track showcases Taylor’s talent and the idea that we all view our love interests with rose colored glasses rather than under the glare of reality is one that is true and this track puts an entertaining Indie Pop groove to the idea and perhaps the dangers of idolization.”
“The talent and emotion carry this Alt Pop track. Joveth emotes the pian and loneliness on ‘Say My Name,’ and while the repetition of the chorus did carry on a beat longer than I wanted the overall track drips with feeling and passion.
Joveth is just beginning his musical journey and I look forward to seeing how high this talented artist can soar. ”
“Unresolved emotions and unrequited love are the earmarks of sixten’s latest release, ‘Atlantic.’ There is a touch of Stevie nicks in the vocal emotion thought he tone has more of a Miley vibe for me but really the sound the unique and stands on its own so comparison are not as apt in this case.
The lyrics convey the emotional distance and longing and the performance brings all of that home in a very digestible way making this an easy track to feel and experience. ”
“I have shared a nu7mber of tracks fromt he talented Bad Flamingo duo and they always bring that spaghetti western air of mystery to their tracks. This one starts out slow with a deep gravel and slowly grows into more of a simmering bit of attitude that grabs the listener by the throat.”
“John Calvin has just enough gravel and grit in his vocals to keep things interesting without that being all you can hear. ‘Saint Innocent’ is a heartfelt and well-written Americana track and the emotions are tangible in a way few songs manage to pull off.
This is a song to feel as much as hear and I am eager to experience more offerings from this talented artist. ”
“A hard charging Alt Pop track with energy and verve. Int he most glorious of fashions, Honey Ironic delivers pure Rock and Roll angst in ‘Bite My Nails.’
The track offers a timeless sound that could with ease fit within the musical landscape any of the last three decades. Her talent sells the emotions, and the production shines in bringing the musical energy out to compliment Honey Ironic’s stellar performance.”
“True love is often found in the sweet everyday moments and Lila Holler captures that magic with her single, ‘Not Mad.’
Delivered in a Dreamy Folk Pop sort of vibe, Holler highlights all the little things that reinforce the love she feels. The moments that define a relationship far more than the grand gestures and purposeful actions. Simply a sweet track, dripping with sentiment and emotion. ”
“Maddie Regent has a sweet undertone to her vocals, but this track definitely deals with some tough emotions and heavy problems. ‘Sleeptalking’ deals with self-sabotaging and doubt.
We’ve all experienced time where we should be happy or content but for whatever reason remain unsatisfied and unsettled. And the questions we then have to ask ourselves is why, and are those feelings warranted? ”
“Liv Miralidi now calls LA home, but hails from Ohio originally. ‘Unfinished Business’ is a personal song for her.
Inspired by the death of music business powerhouse busbee, the track details the emotions of having a mission interrupted by a sudden death and how hard it can be to carry on alone. The song touches on grief and the fact the real world is not a movie where everything comes with a nice tidy ending.”
“Aussie Alt-Pop stare Chymes is back putting a pin her her vocal prowess with ‘Voodoo Doll.’
The track delivers a hint of danger and a whole lot of sultry to the sound. Almost like vintage Britney, Chymes has a siren like effect onlistners as she draws them in ever closer with every line. ”
“Repping the Bahamas, Sleepy Lexx delivers ‘Going Fast’ with a raspy flow that hits and meshes well with the beat behind it. Lexx’s flow is confidant and precise and the lyrical play holds the build together keeping the listener leaning in for the next line.
I was left wanting more which is both bad and good but at only two minutes the track could have used another verse to keep the punches landing.”
“Julia Raye does a good job of straddling he genre line with her latest release, ‘Give You Up.’ There is certainly a Contemporary R&B vibe though this track also has a more Commercial Dance Pop sound.
The track is about nothing someone isn’t good for you but being unable to deny your feelings despite that fact. ”
“ARIA is energetic and upbeat on the track ‘Obsessed.’ The beat and melody carryt he day here though the vocals certainly have talent and an engaging sprit to keep the listener entangled in all phases of the track. The hook isn’t quite as punchy as similar tracks often are but the sound is vibrant and the end result fun.”
“Boston native, Hannah Felisa delivers ‘Naive,’ in a an emotive and smoky tone that curls around your psyche and keeps you leaning into the emotion. The track is about the end of innocence that comes with the first true taste of independence and that realization that life on your own isn’t quite the clean break and freedom you might have thought it would be. ”
“This track and video are both quirky and different enough to catch the eye and ear.
’Greatness’ is an ode to self promotion and getting pumped to take on whatever you need to. Sometimes we have to be our own hype person, to convince ourselves we are in control and ready to face anything that comes our way.
Olive Louise conveys all of this on the screen and in the performance of this Indi Pop standout song. ”
