Ariane - Sweatshirt [Music Video Review]

October 31, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This track felt dangerous from the first beat, and Ariane’s vocals only add to that foreboding, yet alluring sense. The video tells the story quite well as the song unfolds. Lyrically I did get caught up in the repeated phrase ‘polyester blend,’ but beyond that the lyrics and story here is so palpable I was totally immersed.”

    Judah Holiday - All That I Got Tonight [Music Video Review]

    October 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “This track starts with heartfelt set of emotional lyrics, before transforming into a pop-infused and energetic feel good number.

    That early emotion is threaded throughout, but the overall vibe is positive and full of hope. The video adds an element of fun with its entertaining ideas.”

      ZOË - Amour Fou [Music Video Review]

      October 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Soft and sexy, Austrian beauty ZOË captivates with an alluring vocal style. The track has a retro European vibe and the video is reminiscent of a perfume ad. Lyricailly the track could have done more, but still I could not look away or stop listening to her voice.”

        JES - We Belong To The Night [Music Video Review]

        October 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, EDM

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The vocals of JES are soft and alluring and carry a perfect commercial tone on this EDM track about finding your like-minded mate to go out and howl at the moon with.

        ’We Belong To The Night’ comes with an entertaining video that does a great job adding to the emotions of the song.”

          almost monday - Broken People [Music Video Review]

          October 29, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “For the first time I am happy to announce ... it is almost monday!

          Because, despite the band being named for what is usually a dreadful feeling, this track is a welcome arrival.

          Building from an early pop vibe, ‘Broken People’ runs the gamut from commercial, to funk, from disco to rock. The video brings a fun energy and the track is one that will make you smile and sing along.”

            “This tracks lands right on the feels for anyone with a Momma ... which means it should speak to every last person.

            Delivering truth, while putting humanity into the senseless, the vocal flow is pure and real. The backing, sang by Yalee’s own mother, is emotional and heartrending.”

              “Pinpointing exactly what I love about this track is tough. There is an undeniable energy to the performance, and the video is wryly funny.The overall sound here us Euro Punk in nature and the overall project of song/video carries the same European flavor throughout. Well worth a watch and a listen.”

                    This is the track to play when you too are pissed off and fed up with with the doubters, naysayers, and haters. Straight-up lyrics dropped over the top of a straight-up beat. Nothing fancy, but effectual. ”

                          The video incorporates the family aspect of the band’s fan base by inviting them them for the filming in a message of inclusion.”

                                  Evie Irie - "The Optimist" [Music Video Review]

                                  “Packing complex emotions and themes into her writing, Evie Irie’s songwriting is far beyond her actual age. Actually, her songwriting shines for a any age so that comment is unfair to say. Though it is a fact that she is only sixteen, so be aware of this rising star, because the vocals are just as intriguing as the writing.

                                  The video is well down as well and helps bring ‘The Optimist’ to life.”
