KEIFERGR33N - OG [Music Video Review]

June 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“This is a banger to put on when you are just rollin’ or hanging with you buddies. A simple hard beat, and a straight-forward lyrics givers this track legs as an anthem among friends who want to prove their worth by trying and keep up with the flow.”

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The intro builds into a Reggae groove that drips with the emotion of trying to break down the walls of the one you love. smooth vocals and a steady beat persist to give this one a chill summer vibe, but this duet showcases the give and take of a relationship. ”

        Freedom Fry - Me and Bonnie [Music Video Review]

        June 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Funky and trippy, Freedom Fry continues to sneak attack me in the best of ways with surprising lyric progressions and an energetic spirit that makes all of their music feel alive.

        The intelligent quirkiness of this band reminds me of The Presidents Of The United States Of America.”

          Alle Farben - Sticker On My Suitcase (from "Sticker On My Suitcase" album) [Music Video Review]

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The vocals draw out the emotions that go along with ... simply going through the motions in a relationship.

          The lyrics make you ponder both the power and the weakness of words.

          Alle Farben has given us a single that both entertains with a steady beat, and enlightens with outstanding songwriting and an engaging performance.”

            Blanks - Let's Get Lost [Music Video Review]

            June 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “This one snuck up on me. The early beat caught my attention but at first it all felt a little too clean and poppy and that made me automatically assume any emotion would be artificial. But something held my focus and kept me listening.

            Soon enough the joy and simplicity of the message won me over. And when later I gave this single another listen, I found myself moving to the groove and singing along. I suppose you could say I did exactly as the title suggested. Give this one a listen and ‘Let’s Get Lost.’ ”

                  ARI - Legacy [Music Video Review]

                  June 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Rock

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “The beauty is this track feels just like what the title says ... a ‘Legacy.’

                  Ari has a background performing as a frontman and actor, and this, his first solo music, showcases those talents with bold bravado vocally.

                  I suspect we are about to hear a lot more out of ARI and already the single “Legacy” was tabbed by Rolls Royce to play a part in the luxury carmaker’s marketing for their signature model, Ghost.

                  Given the classic rock sounds Ari is sending forth, I can’t wait to hear more off the new album.”

                        “If I am honest, the first couple of measures had me eager to dismiss this single, but then that line about freshman year hit my ears and I was hooked emotionally. The vocal performance held me tight from that moment on, and both the video and the melody tied it all together.

                        ’Damage Done’ is songwriting done right, and this is a song that showcases the power music has us to pull us in and turn our hopes, fears, and memories a direction we were not expecting. ”

                              Call them what you will, but hitting the rewind button is something we all need from time to time and this single and video entertains with just that.

                              With pure pop glory, The Chainsmokers and Bebe Rexha deliver a single that does not need a second chance, but will compel you to listen a second, third, fourth time.”

                                DVTCH NORRIS - Save Us (ft. Rori) [Music Video Review]

                                “So many songs lyrics are filled with bluster and bravado, and far too often, the entire things feels like contrived bullshit.

                                ’Save Us’ is full of confidence as well, and yet the single takes an entirely different approach to get there. From a beautiful pleading chorus sand by Rori, to the hard edged flow of Dvtch Norris, this one feels real and raw and openly breaks down the fears and insecurities without hiding behind the all-too-common false narrative of ... I’m a bad ass.

                                A real bad ass is willing to show us the dark places as well as the joy, the hopes and the confidence. This single does that very well.”

                                  “An anthem to self-reliance. Smooth flow and a sweet roll deliver lyrics that convey confidence and assurance that Nilly knows how to take care of business. ”

                                    “With a sound that leans all the way back to the 70s, and lyrics that work well (despite often seeming random until the next line or two,) I found myself captivated through several listens.

                                    There is something unique and strange and alluring here that is very hard to pin down, but ‘The Sun Is Gonna Shine On You’ is the kind of song that you can listen to over and over again and never get bored.”

                                      “Irish band, In Their Thousands offers a vocal delivery that slices like a surgeon’s scalpel from that first high hard note, but the deepest cut (sorry Sheryl Crow) on this one comes with the writing.

                                      Lyrically, ‘Sit and Breathe’ delivers operating room precision and life saving emotions. That might sound like hyperbole, but a well crafted song, performed with genuine emotion can break through and be a guiding light for those whom it speaks to.

                                      ’Sit and Breathe’ is just such a song.”

                                        “Xzandra flat out brings it with this heartfelt, and emotionally-charged single about her journey through foster care.

                                        Every word brings forth her scars, and her vocal delivery made me feel those hardships. A sad reality brought home via artful songwriting and a stellar performance.”
