Skunk Funk - Cirque Du Skank [Music Video review]

August 27, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Funk, Indie Rock

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“This is my kind of circus!

A little weird ... a lot talented.

Part funk, part rock, this is a sideshow worth seeing and hearing.”

    Ryan Cassata - Bamboo Plants [Music Video Review]

    August 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Indie Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “There is a genuine, songwriter vibe on this one. Billed as a true LGBT love story, this song really transcends beyond any limitations on who this song speaks to. It is simply an honest and true love story for humanity with slice of life lyrics delivered over a guitar melody. There is no added fanfare because the emotion is simply enough in this case.”

      Halia Jack - Threw it Away [Music Video Review]

      August 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial, Soul

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This one hit me like a throwback from the 80s. Halia Jack has a unique tone that pulled me in deeper with each verse. This single brings a defiant edge that makes it resonate loudly for those emerging on the other side of a relationship full of anger and jaded reproach. ”

        Dearly Beloved - Race To The Bottom [Music Video Review]

        August 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “This single caught me by surprise. The varying vocals hooked me early, and the retro rock sound is perfect for the blend of voices. Production wise this one left the vocals a bit more muffled than I would have preferred which probably hurt my overall emotional attachment, but I am quite intrigued by the obvious talent and look forward to hearing more from this band.”

              “With vocals that reminded of Elton John at times, Norman Kim unleashes a debut that demands we all pay attention.

              Both the video and the lyrics of ‘Nothing Wring With My Life’ feel like fun and I can’t help but think I am watching to arrival of a brand new star. Not on the far off horizon, in the here and now.”

                                Two sets of emotions. Both blended perfectly.

                                That is the heart of this single about former lovers now separated, and missing each other and the way things were. This of course is not unfamiliar territory for songwriters, but the imagery is sharp within the lyrics and the performance makes ‘Strangers Arms’ stand out in all the right ways. ”

                                  “When I first heard the song I was like oh lord another sample but Seddy Hendrinx shocked me. He is letting everyone know exactly what Rap & B is.. In his new visual and single he reveals to us his situationship and how women tend to always have all the cards, he is just a silent partner. My favorite part was the end with the trio back up singers taking it back to 90s music with a rap twist. ”

                                    “This one is simply a lot of fun. Both the video and the single capture the vibe of a night rollin’ around town clowning with your friends. The various flows are are solid and they mesh so well. Just a fun one to put to on and let loose.”

                                      “A ladies anthem to masturbation and ‘Self Love.’ This single is pure commercial fun. Think Right Said Fred (if he were a sexy British vixen full of innuendo), mixed with the vivacious spirit of Taylor Swift (if she had to take matters into her own hands instead of leaving a trail of brokenhearted songs to be behind her).”

                                        “Fire” lights a match with its catchy chorus and smooth guitar strings, I can see why it makes great show placement. ”
