My_Kayla ft. Dre Walton - Right There [Music Video Review]

July 13, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Love, lust, and affairs of the heart are complicated, no matter the genetic makeup of those involved. This is a soulful infused modern rap story about those complications delivered in a stripped down flow by My_Kayla and sung to R&B perfection by Dre Walton.

The contrast between the two voices is perfection and adds a level of intrigue to this single.”

    Luke Cyrus Hunter - Old School Jam [Music Video Review]

    July 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Soul

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “A fun soulful homage to the ‘Old School Jams.’

    This is a party song that isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel, but it is a fun spin just the same.”

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “There’s no moment greater than kicking it on a road trip with your mom. Sam Lex new visual is a candid recording of his trip with his mom aligned with a laid back track that makes a great song to play when you are cruising or walking on the beach. ”

        Leeroy Stagger - Strange Attractor [Music Video Review]

        July 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “I have a strange attraction to this single ‘Strange Attractor.’

        The accompanying video is engaging in a peculiar sort of way, and the vocal performance, laid over the top of a steady rock beat, has an old school rock vibe that conjures thoughts of the 80s.

        Then there is a presence about Leeroy Stagger that hooked me and whispers to my brain ... “Pay Attention, this guy is on the verge of breaking out into another realm which makes this song feel like an archway to something even bigger.”

                            “In the spirit of a many other great storyteller songs, ‘L.A.’ makes us care about Elle as a character. Through great songwriting and an empathetic and stirring performance, we take a journey with Elle knowing full well there is no happy ending waiting. But we do it because life doesn’t always come with the fairy-tale ending and this single feels like life.

                            The melody matches the emotions perfectly throughout, and this is one of those sad songs that somehow leaves us feeling hopeful because of its ability to tap into a part of ourselves. Such music and writing helps us realize we are not alone in our thoughts, fears, and emotions. ”

                                “It has been a long while since I’ve heard a true Indie Rock song with that carefree IDGAF spirit. The kind of song that is real and true and seems to say, “Hey Man I don’t really care what you think about me, because this is my life and my feelings and my viewpoint and I’m going to sing about all of them without regard to commercial viability or radio airplay.

                                That is not to say Picsel does not have anything meaningful or worthwhile to say, it just means they are not pandering to conformity, and that is what Rock Music was built upon. ”

                                  “Classic sultry rock vocals atop an energetic melody.

                                  Little by little rock seems to be crawling out from the shadows once again and artists such as Zoe Zobrist are leading the way.”

                                    “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.”

                                      “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. ”

                                        “Both the music and the video unfold like a theatrical show. Stirring emotion within and dazzling the senses both visually and auditory, Lindsey Striling is an entertainer in ever sense of the word. ”
