The Seshen - Dive [Video Music Review]

November 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“An engaging dance track with an almost disturbing emotional quality to the lyrics. The vocals are alluring in a fragile desperate kind of way and the single captures the feeling of being out on the ragged edge of your mind.”

    Dylan Rockoff - Bad Haircut [Music Video Review]

    November 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “Dylan Rockoff brings a little of that Bruno funk flavor in this fun ode to the fickle nature of both love, and haircuts.

    Then again a ‘Bad Haircut’ can ruin far more than your day so maybe this is actually a serious song. Nah, because luckily bad haircuts don’t last forever even if the photographic evidence does. ”

      DRAMAS - Eph [Music Video Review]

      November 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This is a track that was a slow emotional build for me. The accompanying video is outstanding and helps connect the lyrics to an imagery and vision.

      The sound is modern and commercial but not pop exactly, this makes the track hard to categorize, but no matter how you describe the music, the adjectives intelligent and emotional should be used.”

              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.”

                “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.”

                      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.”

                                “Calling out every MF’er, ‘EMF’ is Big Shug laying it out in his no frill fashion.

                                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. ”

                                  “Vocals that feel raw and vulnerable highlight the impact of the well-written lyrics on this track. But do not dismiss the dark humor of the video which makes its point visually as well. ”

                                      “A slow building track that offers a look at the generational gaps that exist in attitudes, goals, and ideas. The track brings a fun energy for such a protest song, but perhaps that will make more people pause and listen and truly think about the message.

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

                                        “Relationships are rarely ‘Easy’ and this track captures the hopes, fears, ups, downs and insecurities of that dynamic in Electro Pop glory. A fun track with true depth as well.”
