JESSIA - Moved Around You [Music Review]

March 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Pop, Alternative
“Love is meant to be a two way streetm though sadly not every relationship finds such balance. JESSIA unleashes an emotional Pop track about carrying the burden of a relationship by giving far more of yourself than the other person is willing. ‘Moved Around You’ has a haunting vulnerability that keeps the listener tethered to the emotions and perhaps reflecting on their own situation.”

    PEPTALK - Good With Goodbye [Music Review]

    March 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative, Pop
    “PEPTALK teams up with Chloe Parché to get ‘Good With Goodbye.’ The Indie Pop track is about saying see you later to that toxic relationship and that person who treats you like garbage.

    From the outside such situation are usually clear but when mired in the history and emotions of such a relationship it takes a moment of strength and clarity and this track artfully highlights such an awakening. ”

      Leah Kate - Just Because [Music Review]

      March 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop
      “Leah Kate has already staked her position as one of Pop’s top upcoming stars. ‘Just Because’ will only add to her catalogue of engaging tracks. This Electro Pop track leans on Kate’s vocal talents and the LA native is a name you can expect to hear a lot of as her star continues to rise. ”

        Jaydi Zavala - Complicated [Music Review]

        March 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Alternative
        “The Pop world is full of sultry Divas unleashing their sexuality on the musical landscape. Jaydi Zavala joins the fray with ‘Complicated.’

        This Alt Pop track leans in to the primal urges in both sound and lyrical content. The performance is spot on and the vibe lands with dizzying effect.”

          Mathilde Widding - Good Grief [Music Review]

          March 20, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Neo-Soul, R&B, Contemporary R&B
          “Mathilde Widding is a Norwegian songstress with smooth sultry soul filled vibes. Capturing the same magic of Amy Winehouse or ZZ Ward, Widding draws the listener in with a little grit and a lot of silk smooth emotion infused into her delivery. ‘Good Grief’ is the type of song that sticks to you long after the last note.”

            Miya Zawa - So Sick [Music Review]

            March 20, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Indie Pop
            “This Contemporary R&B track is a true international affair. ‘So Sick’ is the debut single from Miya Zawa. The new project from Sara Flint and Tom Brereton is an assortment of musical offerings that pair Pop, Dub & Folk. The writing process spread across Australia & Japan.

            The track is about having higher standards for your friends love life than they sometimes do and this unique fresh take on love is refreshing given the theme of love is one every artists dives into eventually. Can’t wait to see what other new takes ont he world Miya Zawa gives us. ”

              Logan Garrett - Take Me Down (feat. Madeline Edwards)

              March 20, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial, EDM, Country
              “Logan Garrett teams up with Country vocalist Madeline Edwards to create the most unlikely of fusions. EDM and Country are rarely intertwined and enver as successfully as on this track, ‘ Take Me Down.’

              There is a vibe not all that different than than Mumford & Sons though this song relies less on that folksy Rock side and leans into emotional defiance to exhibit the diverse talent.”

                March 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock, Pop, Punk
                “Danny Bowens takes us on a Pop Punk ride with ‘Crying On the Dance Floor.’ The track ahs a dark lyrical edge that is the perfect juxtaposition for the light bouncy tempo and musical vibe. The two sides are at odds inthe same way we all tend to smile and say everything is fine even as our world is shattering.”

                  Tessa Dalton - Dark & Pretty [Music Review]

                  March 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Singer/Songwriter
                  “The need to fix someone is often disguised by obsession of the dark and mysterious. Tessa Dalton’s track ‘Dark & Pretty’ is about that obsession and all that can come with it if you dive in without considering all that could be lurking there in the shadows. This Alt Pop sing/songwriter vibe is alive with emotion and turmoil. ”

                    ESG TRE - GOT THE BOMB [Music Review]

                    March 12, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop
                    “This was my favorite track from ESG TRE’s album, TRIPLE 2 TRE though the entire album hits. ‘GOT THE BOMB’ is an old school style delivery but without feeling dated or too retro. The lyrical build keeps you leaning in and the varied delivery makes damn certain you don’t fall out.

                    A good, old-school Boom Bap style flow with the nuance to be relevant in today’s Hip-Hop landscape. ”

                        “This track is an anthem that builds and rises and is perfect for cranking the volume and belting out loud. ‘Forget July’ from the band Out In Front is about breaking free after being mired in something that once upon a time meant everything to you.

This track diving into themes of resistance, strength, and solidarity while she navigates the current state of the world. Her vocals are razor sharp and cut your emotionally with skilled precision in this Alt Pop track.”

                                  Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards - Already Over (Smile Honey) [Music Review]

                                  March 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock
                                  “Mark your calendars now to catch Johnny Manchild and the poor Bastards at the Roxy on March 27th. The sunset Strip will be alive for this Oklahoma City band to perform ‘Already Over’ as well as a catalogue of other great tracks.

                                  The band is genre defying as they blend Rock and Jazz in to an Emo brand of Alternative Rock.”

                                    Walter The Producer - Tell Me Again [Music Reviews]

                                    March 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Alternative, Rock
                                    “Walter The Producer has a unique vocal tone that quickly goes from surprising to engaging in its honest earnest delivery. ‘Tell Me again’ is a track with an undeniable energy and provocation that keeps you leaning in and listening for what comes next. The Indie Rock vibe delivers a timeless kind of sound that simply feels like a good honest music.”

                                      ASHY - Ottoman [Music Review]

                                      March 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Lyric Video, Music, Electro Pop, Alternative, Pop
                                      “No one likes to be overlooked and underestimated especially when chasing their dreams. ASHY (pronounced ‘Ahh-She’) is an effervescent pop artist & songwriter hailing from Aotearoa, New Zealand and here on this track, she faces down her doubters with sultry confidence.”

                                        AMANZI - In The Dark [Music Review]

                                        March 02, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B
                                        “Amanzi delivers smooth Retro Soul grooves on her latest single, ‘In The Dark.’

                                        The UK artist, with South African roots, brings both power and emotive finesse to this track which feels like a sultry summer night next to the one you love.”
