FCG Heem - "Haha" [Music Video Review]

November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Autotune

Rating: 4 out of 5

“There are no shortage of tracks calling out haters and naysayers, but FCG Heem gives us a little something different with the laid back easy going vibe of his track, ‘Haha.’ Lyrically the flow is easy to follow and and settle in on and overall the vibe is light and airy coming with an almost island like vibe at times.”

    Ja3 Harris x Yung Ice x Tay Grizzy - Pop My Shit [Music Video Review]

    November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Sometimes you just need to sway and move. Ja3 Harris, Yung Ice, and Tay Grizzy give you the chance to do just last with their steady flows delivered over a tranquil bounce groove and beat that sits with you start to finish.

    Lyrically the hook is relied heavily on to carry the momentum though it still works well because of the production and delivery. The video offers no real surprises but is good for a few smiles.”

      James Fox - Fire & Coal [Music Video Review]

      November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “This track is a personal one for James Fox, and that passion certainly shines through in the vocal performance. Written about growing up in the Welsh Valleys, the emotions of nostalgia and days gone by are clear though the track is not so specific that it doesn’t have a broader appeal. With a dash of Coldplay and Bryan Adams to the style, this track sweeps you in in its big bold grandeur. ”

        James Deacon - The Revenant [Music Video Review]

        November 20, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “To put it simply, James Deacon isn’t taking any shit from anyone. Fueled by the hardships, and the no’s of critiques, he boldly confronts their words in this rocking track and video.

        The hard beat and attitude-filled delivery makes it clear that the naysayers have only motivated Deacon to greater heights. Some artists refuse to be denied, and it is that unstoppable force that sparks the embers that ignite their career. Keep your eyes and ears on Deacon, as he is legit ready to explode.”

          Tommy Newport - Warp Speed Suzie [Music Video Review]

          November 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Funk, Contemporary R&B, Indie Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Tommy Newport has captured magic by blending an old soul vibe, with a modern progression and build on his latest single, ‘Warp Speed Suzie.’

          The Funk might draw comparisons to Bruno, but there was a verve and confidence about the performance that also reminded me of Timberlake, not in tone, but attitude. This is the kind of track you hear once and by the end feel like its a song you’ve been jamming to for a decade.”

            Hrishi - Like A Ghost [Music Video Review]

            November 18, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Alternative, Music Videos, Lyric Video

            Rating: 5 out of 5

            “A twist sound between a boyband and Justine Bieber. Hrishi’s new single ‘Like A Ghost’ is about being surrounded by people but still feeling invisible. The visual is a unique illustration of moments in life using different imagery to stand for feelings and connections. The song is smooth, direct and straight to the point explaining that you can love everyone and still feel like a ghost. ”

              Rating: 5 out of 5

              “Sometimes life is like like a game. We try our best to play regardless of the consequences. Patrik Jean’s new single ‘Consequence’ puts his life in a blueprint. He sings about being hurt and wanting to love but being reminded how much he hates starting over. The visual artistry shows how life can’t always be packed in boxed and sometimes great things break.”

                “Labeled as so-called nasty women in certain political circles, the strong and fiercely independent ladies of this world have something to say and damn it, they refuse to be silenced. CHEL is among the proud, the brave, the bold — and on this Soulful Pop track, she makes her ‘Nasty Woman’ proclamations in loud, talented tones that draw a line in the sand for anyone looking for a fight.”

                  “What do you get when New York and Pennsylvania hit the studio together?

                  Infectious lyrics and a beat that prepares you for a hit ‘4RealTho’. Day Lee’s new single is full of energy from a vintage perspective. With PnB Rock vocals accompanying the sound the two are seen hitting the streets and jamming to the beat.”

                        “Feeling like a track straight out of a Peaky Blinders episode, ‘Vampires’ is a dark, bluesy track with a brooding build and a sinister underbelly.

                        The Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds influence is there, but so is a bit of Johnny Cash and Jack White. Call it Southern Gothic meets Euro Waltz, but if you are in the right mindset, this heavy track will feel right at home in your ears. ”

                              “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.”

                                Anna Straker - Boys Will Be Boys [Music Video Review]

                                “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? ”
