“The flow’s verses here comes at you like spoken word poetry. Well-written, the chorus delivers a truth most of us know all too well. This track is gritty with the reality of life.”
“Let me start this review by saying I love the vibe, the talent, the writing ... THE EVERYTHING about this single. Dark and brooding with a twisted set of emotions ‘Manic Panic’ is a song that hits all the right tones and notes for me. Which makes the video all the more odd for me.
The imagery of the video hit me like Harry Potter gone wild. As if Voldemort had taken in young Harry and turned him over to Bellatrix Lestrange who then led him astray.
So the overall effect is ... I love the song, and am quite dazed by the video.”
“Brooding and moody, this single captures the essence of heartache very well. With a nostalgic rock sound that hearkens back to the 80s, Bootstraps has given us a song with a timeless message and true emotion.”
“Solid production and a engaging beat lead the way on this track which comes with an alluring video that is as teasing and taunting as the music. The last :45 deliver a worthy climax.”
“ Really like the song and the vibe it creates.”
“A nice easy reggae melody backs this humorous, yet meaningful look at common relationship woes.
The smooth groove makes this an easy single to sing along with and enjoy.”
“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. ”
“A coffee house vibe percolates through this song about losing your identity along the way, but ultimately finding happiness and security within yourself.
A blend of musical styles give this single a unique sound and feel. ”
“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.
Wanton, pained vocals deliver this pop number about spoiled affection reaching it’s expiration date.”
“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. ”
“Like a real life Goddess plucked from the realm of mythology, Lindsey Stirling weaves magic into this piece with her bowstring. Emotional and evocative, ‘Artemis’ takes aim at your ears with the precision you’d expect from the Goddess of the Hunt.
The video is as visually stirring as the music.”
“Tossing out a chill, relaxed flow, JO24 drops these lyrics today that are words of importance. If you don’t take the time to ‘Learn Today,’ the lessons will come at your hard and fast somewhere down the road.
The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”
“While solid musically, ‘Paralyze The Dead’ truly shines brightest as a music video. The imagery and the emotions of the lyrics are brought out in spectacular version by the story.
Being true to yourself is perhaps the biggest key to personal happiness, and something we all need reminded of from time to time. Stereo Match does this is in an entertaining and provocative manner that left a smile on my face.”
“A snaking melody and a steady beat frame a flow with some true vocal hook to it.
Hard not to sing along with this banger.”
“This pop song captures the back and forth of human emotions quite well, as we try to talk ourselves into a better place.
Be it internal, or in this case, an external relationship that pulls us back down ... over and over again, most have us have to make the climb up and out of dark places more than once, before we can finally enjoy the view.”
“This is my kind of circus!
A little weird ... a lot talented.
Part funk, part rock, this is a sideshow worth seeing and hearing.”
“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.”
“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. ”
“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.”
