“A little retro never hurt anybody. The Dumes new single ‘Liquor & High’ a laidback alternative rock song with vintage L.A. vibes. The band tells a story of working hard and getting what you need with a little feisty humor. The lead singer stays consistent while her vocals are supported the guitar strings.”
“This is one of the first songs I really got excited about while writing on my iPhone smart keyboard before developing it more with Danny Owen on an old piano in my mate’s flat. The song is written for all to relate to about not giving up on love but one of the last lines of the song gives the true identity of the meaning.”
“What is love? Love is holding someone’s hand, standing by their side and walking with them through the hardships and the smiles. Leon Standford’s new single ‘By Your Side’ shows love over time and in many forms. He sings about holding on to eternity as you walk together. The piano keys are just as emotionally strong as his vocals and you can feel the love as he sings. ”

“The world is in flux, and yet some offer flippant platitudes such as ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ to excuse archaic and toxic stereotypes.
Anna Straker is having none of it with this hard hitting Electro Pop Hip Hop fusion of Rock attitude. “‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is my feminist anthem to tear down the patriarchy,” explains Anna. “After recovering from a sexual assault last year, I realised what men are really capable of and this sarcastic anthem is my angry response to the double standards we face as women. I want to squash these stereotypes with my big platform boots and remind the world that women are more than sexual objects.”
There is no denying her talent and voice on this track. ”
“SONNY infuses his personal passion into this track. ‘Place I Love’ is a big spirited Pop anthem paying homage to his hometown, and while there are a few specifics to the lyrics anyone that feels a special bond and connection with a place they call home will get swept in by the boisterous energy and heartfelt emotions. The talented vocals certainly help the lsitern find that connection.”
“An early line delivers this message ... What did you expect when dumb people got smart lines.
I knew right then, Dax was saying something I wanted to hear. ‘GOTHAM’ puts a spin on the famous city of Batman fame by tying it to our everyday lives and the state of our society. DAX, as always, infuses passion into his flow and the writing is sharp and poignant, in this slow tempoed yet oh-so-powerful track. The video is as engaging as the single.”
“Bringing the old school beats and bars vibe, GoodLook drops ‘Rich Dance’ on us. With a hearty dose of confident swagger, the track is about flashing them racks in the face of the world with no damn regard for what anyone else thinks. THe beat and rhythm keep the flow bouncing on this track, that doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but for damn sure puts a little flair on your next spin.”
“Death is coming but now a days we are becoming so numb to it. Artist Clay Dub’s new single ‘Tell Me Why ft. Neezy’ delivers authentic pain and real life questions. Why is it when we see people die we can no longer cry?
Shot in black and white to show more emotions this lyric video takes to the neighborhood, every day locations that turn into crime scene. The question is why? Why so many bodies laying on the ground? ”
“Here we go again with a dope song from BabyJake featuring 24K Golden. ‘Cigarettes On Patios ‘ is a laidback , sit out side and look at the sky anthem. The lyrical video is an illustration of the two with a deep piano sound. This is a certified retro chill song whether at your own house or your neighbor house. ”
“LiBand ( Blow Up And Never Die) is exactly what he is doing by releasing hits. His new song ‘Due Date’ is a smooth rap song featuring Toosii. The young 16-year-old artist is bringing an unexpected sound to the music game. In his new visual he is seen sitting at a desk with nothing but money as he tells the story of his life but reminds everyone its still about the money and success. He is going to keep on thuggin til his ‘Due Date’. ”

“Singer/Songwriter Shem Thomas loves to tell real stories musically. In his new single ‘Do It’ he provides real stories of motivation and inspiration. His visual highlights the lives of everyday people who ‘Do It’ just because they can do it. As he plays the guitar through the song you can feel his energy in your heart.”
“Its the theatrics for me!!!
First the intro was amazingly sick. ‘Paranoia on Main Street’s’ visual is video game meets movie. Demi the Daredevil infuses creepy theatrics in a pop format and it works. His name alone gives mixed feelings but his talent does not disappoint. He paces his delivery and his tone is stern accompanied by strong word play.”
“Shown in hidden colors, The Gravity Drive shows the silhouettes of a man and woman . The group’s new single is based on ‘What Is Love’. In a questionable tone they play scenarios in hopes of discovering ‘What Is Love’. You never see them but their personality and talent can be displayed in their movement.”
“REDD knows who he is and what he’s trying to do, and on this track he declares it all for the world to hear.
Hard beats and a cocky swagger dominate the flow and vibe of this well written track. REDD is his own hype man and this track certainly pants the flag. Eager to hear more.”
“Royal & The Serpent offers this sultry track that feels like Justin Timberlake meets Pink with a dash of the Black Eyed Peas on the side. The beat is infectious and the hook seductive though in the end I did crave a bit more than was here lyrically. The video is engaging and entertaining as well.”
“We featured this track a while back here on LA on Lock, and while it is rare that we post tracks twice, Moncrieff’s single, ‘PLAYLOUD’ now has a video that adds to impact of the track. Consider this a push to get out and vote as the time has come for everyone to express their opinion by casting their vote in the upcoming elections.
Here is my original take on this track and I stand by that assessment as I offer you a chance to watch the video ...
Make no mistake, the world is jacked up. Moncrieff knows it and gives us an energetic take on the state of affair. This is a call to arms to everyone that feels angry, frustrated and alienated by the greed and and bungling job of politicians the world over. The track is not preachy, but rebellious in an uplifting and entertaining way that hooks you in spirit and vibe. ”
“If irreverent protest is at the heart of what Punk is, then the band Sit Down In The Front has certainly tapped into the pulse of it with their single, ‘Don’t Push The Button.’ This politically charged mockery comes from New Zealand though for many of us this us far too close to the absurdity that actually emits from White House these days.
The imagery of the video is pure brilliance!”
“During our #LAOnLockExclusive we told you how Yung Gravy’s new album ‘Gasanova’ is lighting up since its release on Friday, October 2nd. Well he has added to the smoke with his new visual ‘Gas Money’. Giving a retro vibe as usual you can see him chillin in the bowling alley as the pin heads play. His rhymes are direct and full of sarcasm which makes him even more groovy.”

“Every girl needs a getaway trip. Imagine coming across a guy that fascinates you and makes you want to dance all night. 10K’s new single provides that feeling. ‘Slow down’ is a contemporary R&B song with a club atmosphere that will have you dancing and not wanting to slow down from the feeling.”
“Bronco X surprised me with their new single ‘Poison’. The high energy band is shown from different angles in a house jamming with their instruments. ‘Poison’ is funky but gives you a feeling of excitement that runs through you like a vibration. As the camera pans around them in a circle providing a green light as if they are playing in a forest like setting.”
“ Imagine watching MTV Jams and the video comes to life. This is how I felt with Canadian Artist’s Riley Michaels new song and video ‘Now I Know’. Standing at the mic surrounded by a band the talented artist plays the guitar as he rocks out to his emotion of being driven insane. He speaks on lessons learned but allows you to really engage with the music.”
