Henry and the Waiter - Hidden Spirit [Music Video Review]

October 13, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Electro Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Flashing Lights and Hidden Spirits!!

In an empty room with just the right lighting you can see a ‘Hidden Spirit’. Henry and the Waiter brings electro pop with a suspense yet upbeat melody. In what seems like a solo video you can find dance cameo’s swinging side to side.”
— Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

    Gato Blanco - Uma Gota D'água [Music Video Review]

    October 08, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Jazz

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Throw in an infectious ‘Wooly Bully’ brand of beat, and a funky bit of lyrical hook ala ‘Mambo #5’ and you will have an idea what to expect when you give ‘Uma Gota D’água’ from Gato Blanco a listen.

    This song is all about getting you up and moving and no there is not a lot of lyrical punch overall, but what is here will no doubt get stuck in your head. You’ve been warned — this is pure earworm, but it is the fun and groovy earworm that we all need from time to time.”

      JJ Shiplett - All Comes Back to You [Music Video Review]

      October 08, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “If you love the movie ‘Notebook’ and watching Hallmark on Sundays then you will love ‘All Comes Back to You’ by JJ Shiplett. In an empty bar with his guitar he narrates a love story of two people who are enjoying one another. No matter where they end up in life, they grasp and hold on to the moments they shared together.”

        Covaboy - Second Wind [Music Video Review]

        October 05, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Packing a lyrical punch that delivers power and truths of the world we live in, Covaboy’s track, ‘Second Wind’ is the kind of song that sticks with you long after the last note.

        Coming with an old school 90’s Rap vibe, the beat and flow are direct and unflinching. The haunting vocal sample frames the piece well and really adds an emotional layer to the track.”

          Zachary Kibbee - Somewhere To Put My Gold [Music Video Review]

          October 02, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Commercial

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Take a little 70s Funk, toss in some old school Magnum P.I. vibesn and coat it all in straight up Rock and Roll and you have a good idea what is going on with Zachary Kibbee on his latest track, ‘Somewhere To Put My Gold.’

          The video is straightforward, but adds to the retro feel with its credit style. This is a track that just lodges in your bones and allows you to straight up rock out. ”

            KidCress (Keeco) - BackRoads [Music Video Review]

            October 02, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

            Rating 3 out of 5

            “We all like to kick it with our family even if its in the backyard. ‘Backroads’ reminds me of being in the country in the middle of nowhere but seeing nice houses with big backyards. KidCress’s new single and visual is a tribute to the memories he has with his family. Over a melodic guitar sound he talks about everything they do from chewing tobacco to grilling burgers and chillin with family and friends on the “Backroads.”

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “With efforts to ban Tik Tok, songs like this are reminders why the app still lives. Tree Thomas is giving energy in the single Tick Tok. From dancing to cruising on set Tree ‘s new single is a beat that keeps playing in your head even when the song is over. There’s no pause in dancing whether at home, in the club or on Tik Tok.”

                  “In a time when much of the music is about angst and tension, this track offers a nice contradiction. Although they are delivered with the edge and passion usually reserved for anger, the lyrics of this track are actually quite positive and it is refreshing to hear such a big bold declaration in pure Rock glory. ”

                    “A brooding moody track with both lyrical grit, and a heavy emotional set of vocals. Blending a slow tempo Hip-Hop flow with an Alternative Rock sound, and a vocal delivery that gives the track a sharp edge, this performance brings enough variation within the arrangement to hold your intrigue through this heavy emotional track.

                    Love Ghost is a hard band to pin down by genre, but the talent looms large in the dark shadows of this single.”

                      “Strong lyrics and a tender emotional delivery made this track stand out for me. The fact Richard has the kind of looks that force adoring fans to fall in love with more than the music, will certainly help his career take off.

                      I suppose that fact and the added commonality of being Canadian will draw comparisons to Bieber, but my initial reaction is that ‘The One’ is better than any of Bieber’s early work.”

                                Gold Standard Collective - Deli Slice [Music Video Review]

                                “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]

                                  “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. ”

                                    “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. ”

                                      “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?’”

                                        “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.”
