“Lisa Heller utilizes her vocal talent and energy to unleash ‘U LIKE THAT.’ The track is about an ongoing relationship that both parties know isn’t going anywhere but hey fun is fun while it lasts and sometimes those urges take over our common sense.
The high energy track has a Commercial edge and is right at home in the Alt Pop landscape. ”
“JESSIA unleashes a POp masterpiece with ‘I’m NOt Gonna Cry.’ The emotion and lyrical range of the track gave me Freddie Mercury vibes.
I’m not saying JESSIA or this track sounds exactly like QUEEN, because the styles differ. This is definitely a Pop song, but there is a bigger more complex edge to her talent, and the way the track did the unexpected while showcasing massive talent definitely had the flair not many artists can pull off.”

“Despite the masks, the mysterious duo, Bad Flamingo are not strangers to our regular listeners. We have featured a number of tracks from this Indie Rock/Americana pair of talents. Quite often the track have a spaghetti western meets Rock seductress vibe and description certainly fits their latest offering, ‘Frying Pan.’
The lyrical nuance is matched byt he vibe and spot on performance to give this one the perfect balance of grit and seduction.”
“Featured in the Hulu TV series, Dollface, ‘Talk To Ya’ by artists Elisa Sun has a nice suspenseful beat to instill an edge right from the start.
Sun has a Pop edge to her vocal style though this one leans a little dark than most Pop tracks. There is a bit of an an 80s nostalgia to the overall sound though this Electro Pop number is right at home in today’s musical landscape.”
“Italian singer/songwriter, Damien McFly wrote ‘I’m Getting Older’ as a letter to his younger life. The track is meant to mark his feeling ten years into his music career and despite the personal nature of the track the lyrics have a broader relevance we can all understand and appreciate.
Life’s journey is fraught with ups and downs, and we all need to take some time to celebrate the growth and miles we’ve put behind us. This song does a great job and I dare you to listen because we all should take stock of our lives from time to time. ”

We all hav eto take a moment and pay attention this one life we are living and this song is a reminder to do exactly that.”

This Alt Pop track highlights her tender vocal vulnerability as well as her songwriting prowess. ”
“This track starts as a melancholic slow burn about the end of a relationship, but the build follows the same pattern most of us go through post breakup. So as the song build it shifts in tone to a more hopeful array of emotions.
Eastcliff does a great job of allowing the emotions to dictate the pace and build. ‘Kaleidoscope’ is a journey and one well worth taking.”
“Emeryld wrote ‘Lights Camera Baby’ with Slush Puppy after a messy breakup and even messier relationship.
She explains the motivation well. “We were two girls in the same friend group which led to us feeling like local bar celebrities, turning heads and sparking controversy, when in reality, it was just embarrassing and narcissistic to think we were anything serious but a spectacle, mirroring and magnifying each other’s issues.”
This track billed by the artist as a ... gay “cry in the club” song, was inspired by the sound today’s top Pop divas. Emeryld can stand proudly among them as she unleashes her truths in a vulnerable yet confidant way that showcases her talents.”
“Crhymes enlists the talent of Slim Shady to deliver ‘Trouble Maker.’ Crhymes, is a Latino Rapper hailing from San Diego, California. The a former member of the rap duo the COR and respected freestyler is a frequent collaborator of some of the biggest names in Rap.

“PTK Lothbrook comes directly at the listener on this track and the in your face beat and delivery catches fire as a result. ‘Sell The Land,’ was written out of the anguish and emotions of a divorce and the lyrical power hits. The flow has some Pop style, though that does not diminish the intricacy and timing of the Rap delivery so the artist did a great job of managing this tricky performance.”
“This time of year we all begin to dream of a warm escape to sit on sandy beaches under a warm sun. ‘Rio Magic’ from The Real Mack The Knife just might be the next best thing.
The light, airy tone and exotic glow of the track makes it easy to close your eyes and imagine you are heading out for a night in Rio, or at least sitting on the beach imagining one. ”
“Jake Dillon has the ability to hook listeners with one or two words. This emotive delivery is a strength of his work though you can’t dismiss the writing which has that simple, yet poignant quality that hooks the audience with its relatability.
’Camp out at Wal-Mart’ is a song about the personal journey that is life and it drips with humanity in all the best ways. ”
“This track’s intro didn’t do much for me, but once that flow hit around the :25 mark I was in and sailing right along.
The smooth delivery of the various flows held me, and the writing had some nice lyrical punches that landed with precision and talent. Already Legends teams with Freddy River and a bunch of other talents to create a nice tranquil Trap track that is as inviting and silky as a cruise down ‘Smooth Water River.’ ”
“If you are looking for a bit of fresh Holiday Pop then let me present to you, ‘One Sweet December Night,’ from Cooper Phillip.
The track has an almost 80’s Pop vibe and the uplifting, fun lyrical build pulls you along like Santa’s magical sleigh. Give me this on repeat instead of the worn our Mariah Carey song any day of the week.”
“Tis the season! Christmas is full f the same old tired and worn out songs, so why not add some new music to your holiday playlists? Lia Menaker gives us a good one to add with ‘Christmas at Home.’

As a music producer for RuPaul’s Drag Race, Belinda Carlisle, platinum KPOP artists and more, Lopez has already made a mark in the musical landscape, and now this new track , ‘Long Road,’ might elevate this talented artist to even greater heights.
The song has an haunting, heavy quality that makes the emotions inescapable. A track that means more with each listen, this is a song that has a timeless sound and appeal.”
