    Mike Dignam - Under The Influence [Music Video Review]

    September 18, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Neo-Soul

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Mike Dignam has dropped a soulful single with evocative emotions.

    ’Under The Influence’ is rife with self-loathing and the words and performance ring true enough to pull the listener deep into his perspective. Which in turn, allows us a clearer look at our own thoughts and emotions.”

      “The mixture of colors and the energy in these video gives it a fun and groovy vibe. As the lightening high lights the characters in a spot light. Hermitude delivers a song that all the girls and boys can dance to.”

            Kellen - Manic Panic [Music Video Review]

            September 13, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “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.”

                      “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. ”

                            “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. ”

                                The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”

                                  Stereo Match - Paralyze The Dead [Music Video Review]

                                  “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.”
