J.R.Clark - AMG Benz [feat. Breana Marin] [Music Video Review]

September 16, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Coming at you with a retro vibe, J.R. Clark conjures thoughts of Jay Z and that classic age of Hip-Hop with a smooth unflinching flow.

’AMG Benz’ also features a soulful R&B groove from Breana Marin and overall is smooth and glassy like a laid back cruise down the boulevard. ”

    Gold Standard Collective - Deli Slice [Music Video Review]

    September 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Gold Standard Collective comes in on the track with a slow intro and beat that only ratchets up from there. Bars and beats keep the flow moving on this well-written, straightforward track.

    Grab a ‘Deli Slice’ and take a big bite. You won’t walk away hungry from this meal.”

      AUDREY NUNA - damn right [Music Video Review]

      September 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Contemporary R&B, Rap, Electro Pop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “AUDREY NUNA brings the verve and talent to ‘damn right’ ... her fresh new satirical track about talking shit.

      NUNA said, ‘ I find it amusing when people spend time talking shit about people who don’t even know they exist.’

      Talk shit on this rising artist all you want, but it won’t stop her rise. Here the track comes with a nice Rap flow, but is definitely a mixed genre track with R&B and Pop styling all coming to the show. The video is a very literal interpretation of the lyrics. ”

        Steve Acho - Legacy [Review]

        September 12, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Live a life worth remembering. That is the gist of Steve Acho’s soaring piano ballad, “Legacy.’ Acho comes with songwriting gusto and talent that will remind some of Elton John combined with John Legend. The reputation we leave behind is perhaps our greatest legacy and this song captures that sentiment quite well. ”

          TAG x Pitbull- Backpack [Music Video Review]

          September 11, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

          Rating: 3.5 out of 5

          “We all love a good night at the casino or the Las Vegas strip. TAG and Pitbull have delivered a new single called ‘Backpack’ and it is not about a bag. Backpack highlights the back curves that tend to clap. This collaboration is serving delightful pleasure for dinner with a round back for dessert . From erotic yet sophisticated dancing the question is asked ‘How do you fit that in a lap?’”

            Makola - Everyday Legend [Music Video Review]

            September 04, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Hip-Hop, Conscious

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “There is a common man vibe to this track from Makola, though it is clear that the talent is anything but common.

            ’Everyday Legend’ takes on the idea that you gotta be like everyone else to stand out. With a bit of lyrical defiance, and an Afro Beat that helps brings alive the vocal flow, this track comes with an energy that takes over and pulls you along.”

              HOLY FIELD- N.E.W. METAL [Music Video Review]

              September 02, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rock, Punk, Minimal Electronic, Music Videos

              Rating: 5 out of 5

              “Is it Link Park, no Its Holy Field!!!

              ”Holy Field is a group of six talented individuals from four corners of the globe and their new song is wild.
              Usually metal music can take over the artist’s vocals but N.E.W Metal is a blend of cinematic sound, big guitar riffs, snappy rhythmic sessions and thick bass. In light of social distancing and isolation the group still managed to be creative musically and visually. They are seen in a wide open field with a birds eye view as they performed in their version of ‘HOLY FIELD.’”

                Lady Ace Boogie x Steven Malcolm - Free [Music Video Review]

                September 01, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

                Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                “Lady Ace Boogie throws it down on ‘Free,’ the lead single of of her new album — That’s All For Now.

                The single lands with an infectious hook ... ‘I just wanna be free, I just wanna be me,’ ... and comes with so much confidence and attitude that you realize this is not a request, but an outright demand. The track also features Steven Malcolm with a flow that adds a bit of variation and another vibe to a track already dripping with sauce.”

                  “Who thought ‘Socks & Sliders,’ or as we call them here in the US socks and sandals, could ever be made cool?

                  Ironically, that is exactly the point of this well-written track that is delivered with a smooth R&B groove. This is a track that will make you smile and perhaps rethink your own mindset. All in a rhythmic groove that will make you sway and move to the groove.”

                      “Alfie Templeman goes beyond expectations. In a creative yet different visual of him playing a video game he begins to sing over a very well mixed and mastered beat. The visual shows him running through life tackling things that he thought was his, hence the name of the single ‘Things I Thought Were Mine’. As he battles for his happiness he recounts the good moments and the bad moments.”

                        “Bitter much?

                        That question pretty much sums up the lyrical make up of ‘Drop Dead.’ But sometimes bitterness is warranted after a bad breakup.

                        Rain Division delivers a hard-edged Alternative Rock track taking on the emotions of emerging from a toxic relationship with the knowledge the other person is entirely at fault. The video adds to to IDGAF attitude of the track, making both the song and the overall project quite entertaining. ”

                          “Jealously plays evil tracks on the mind, and the fact that LOST has taken on that phenomenon with an upbeat slightly unhinged exuberance is sheer genius, as it captures that yo-yo set of emotions very well.

                          Here in this single and video ‘Jealous’ is a fun romp from the outside looking in, but sooner or later we all find ourselves in that state of angry and hurt delirium.”

                            “Natalie Schlabs has a breathy, tranquil vocal style on the single ‘That Early Love’ which reminds me of both Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt at different times.

                            Lyrically, this track is about the intense feeling of new love, and how sometimes that bond grows and intensifies rather than fading along with increased familiarity. This is a song about the power of lasting love.”

                                Scott Luka - LA-NY-DC [Music Video Review]

                                “Sometimes a track simple struts its way into our ears. Scott Luka drops such a track on us with ‘LA-NY-DC.’

                                Full of bluster and confidence, this isn’t a set of lyrics that will leave you deep in thought or hours, but the beat is infectious and the track delivers a bit of cocky fun. And sometimes, that is all we need from a song.”

                                  “Sophia Messa has a craving and its in human form. Her new single ‘Ice Cream & Cigarettes’ describes how she feels when she is around that person. However, for the things you crave are also the things you don’t need. She goes on to explain that she doesnt want those feelings anymore. Her vocals are raw, emotional, yet solid.”

                                    “Marzs new single ‘So Free’ does give you a free feeling when listening to it. The visual is simple yet you feel his mood as he tells the story of life vs money. The female vocals on the chorus comes in at the right moment. Marzs also speaks on how the world tries to put you in a box but your family and everyone around you wants you to be free and successful.”

                                      “A clever bit of songwriting, and a simple yet imaginative video highlight this track. There is something here that reminded me of Elton John, but just a hint because Thirsty Curses certainly have their own brand of uniqueness to stand on.

                                      ’Bruises On Your Shoulders’ is simply put ... the song of life. An entertaining and concise look at the ho-hum, the dreams, the everyday. Hard to categorize, but I was thoroughly entertained.”

                                        “How can you not get down with the philosophy of ‘Don’t Give Me Problems, Give me Wine?’

                                        The tone here is engaging and straightforward. BabyJake emotes the passion behind the lyrics in this track that feels almost Cosmic Cowboy in nature. A hint of Folk, a jolt of Rock, a splash of that 70s Alt Country vibe and this track simply oozes with coolness.”
