DAX - KILLSHOT 2 [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“This track is meant to make you uncomfortable, because sometimes, that is the only way to shake up the neurons and make you think. The lyrics and video imagery do exactly that, but when you declare something meaningful, in a passionate way it rarely makes others comfortable and through that discomfort new ideas and thoughts are born.

That said, this track delivers emotions, entertainment and a punch to the gut that leaves you engrossed. ”

Dylan - Sour Milk [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Nothing can turn your stomach quite like love gone bad. With that in mind ‘Sour Milk’ is the prefect metaphor for that relationship that is all wrong.

Effie - Worship [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Smooth and sultry, Effie delivers a single about submitting to your desire and allowing yourself to succumb to those wants. The real allure to these lyrics is that they are about the empowering euphoria of admitting what you want, rather than a submissive take me approach.

I don’t know where you went to church, but my idea of ‘Worship’ has never been this steamy and sexy. ”

JO24 - Learn Today [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

Happy Sometimes - Pooh Bear [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“This pop song captures the back and forth of human emotions quite well, as we try to talk ourselves into a better place.

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

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.
