Julian Lamadrid - Neon [Music Video Review]

August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, Electro Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A solid track about finding that small threads of life and the hope they bring when you begin to feel like you are dying on the inside.

Thanks to captivating production, and well-written lyrics, ‘Neon’ is both a banger, and a meaningful, emotional call to your senses.”

    ILL LIL - All My Life [Music Video Review]

    August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Autotune, Commercial

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “ILL LIL sold me with a performance that felt genuine and believable.

    Lyrically, ‘All My Life’ is straightforward and direct and full of a motivational hype, which can be a tough sell if the performer is not fully invested in what he’s saying. Here, I believed every word. ”

          “This is a great sing/video combination as the imagery truly brings out the sensations captured lyrically.

          Life is full of ups, downs, and the unexpected. ‘Back To Myself’ carries many surprises itself. Riding a bit of 90s nostalgia in sound and structure, the single and video are entertaining in fresh new ways.”

                              “Heartfelt vocals deliver this melancholy pop song about wanting to feel okay, while feeling stuck and out of place.

                              Acoustic guitar melodies add to the lonely vibe of this stripped down set of lyrics. Heavy on emotion, this is the kind of track that you play when you don’t want to think too much, or have your mind changed, but rather are looking for the perfect tune to match your brooding mood. ”

                                “Charged with a rock sound that conjures visions of the 70s and tricked-out custom vans with carpeted walls, ‘Looking For Love’ rolls out like a soundtrack for Tinder. Swipe right and give this one from Circus Electric a go, because sometimes we all get a little lonely. ”

                                  “Call it Reggae Pop and crown Reece Lemonius the king!

                                  ’I’m Done’ rides a island groove and smooth vocals to the end of a love triangle.”

                                    “The vocals catch your attention and draw you in, and the lyrics hold you there; not with extraordinary wordplay, but rather simply honest emotions.

                                    Ellen Krauss delivers a genuine performance, and the true-to-life lyrics of this single make it worthy of a listen “On The Bus,” or any other place.”

                                      “The melody is a perfect balance of danger and desire, and both elements are also brought out by the imagery of the video.

                                      And while the vocals are not explosive or awe-inspiring, they are perfect for the mood. This is a case of the artists getting out of the way and letting the lyrics and vibe do the heavy lifting. ”

                                        “The imagery of the video and the lyrics of this song combine to perfectly instill the emotion of this single. Theatrical and beautiful, the vocals are ideal for this type of song which feels could be the soundtrack for a crumbling love, or a divide in any type of relationship. Be it one between people, or nations. ”
