Naya Ali - Air Ali [Music Video Review]

December 04, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Naya Ali is taking flight with her latest track, ‘Air Ali.’ The track is about taking off for bigger and better experiences and places, but not at the sacrifice of everything that makes you who you are. Ali utilizes a bit of Trap vibe to her flow at times, and falls into a steadier delivery in others, but throughout her unique tone and talent captivates and demands attention. The beat and production are easy to stick with as well.”

    CHRiS DiViNE - Don't Let Up [Music Video Review]

    December 03, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Hip-Hop, Music Videos, Neo-Soul

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Chris Divine’s new song ‘Don’t Let Up’ was inspire by Tupac’s ‘Brenda’s Got A Baby’. The song serves as motivation for women to keep their head up even when they are tired. Sometimes unplanned motherhood strengthens women when they least expect it. Shot in Black and White the aesthetics is to show emotion and that there is a such thing as having a family and love.”

      Blame My Youth -Dance With My Demons [Music Video Review]

      December 02, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Conscious

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “Blame My Youth is a unique name but reminds you why you are the life of the party even when you are older. ‘Dance With My Demons’ reveals a constant battle many of us experience. Lyrically the song speaks on addiction, trials, and tribulations. Regardless of age or gender everyone has a problem some of us fight it while some of us get tired of fighting urges and voices in our head so we just dance with our demons. ”

        “If you like the series ‘Stranger Things’ you will be intrigued by this song. Foster House, Weerd Science & John, The Astronaut join together for an out of this world single ‘Strange Things’. The beginning comes in smooth and suspenseful. The second voice has a deep yet Hip-Hop flow. As the visual shows the group going around on a mysterious hunt. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Daniel Trakell’s emotive vocals highlight this track, though the production and melody add another emotional layer to the track giving the single a nice rich texture to the layered sound.

          ’So Long’ hot like a track you already know giving it that instant kind of connection that the best songs tend to leave you with. ”

            Raitng: 4.5 out of 5

            “Written while in a toxic relationship, ‘violent’ offers a stripped down delivery that expresses the strained emotion of trying to hold it all together despite the underlying anger, rage, and frustration. carolesdaughter adds to the mix of emotions with the imagery of the video, and though this track on its surface remains steady and rather placid in its delivery and arrangement, the festering feelings are very tangible as you listen.”

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “HAYL definlety taps into some of the same attitude and defiant confidence that has worked so well for Taylor Swift. ‘I Will’ is a declaration of independence delivered in a talented vocal build that holds the listener and keeps you leaning in to hear what comes next.

              I suspect this is a track that will ring even louder for the ladies, but no matter your POV, the talent shines bold and bright. ”

                “Jon Richie brings a unique perspective as an active duty member of the United States Army.

                    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.”

                      “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. ”

                        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 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.”

The song is smooth, direct and straight to the point explaining that you can love everyone and still feel like a ghost. ”

                                CHEL - Nasty Woman [Music Video Review]

                                “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.”

                                    “The world has been on fire for a while now, and it is easy to become desensitized to it all, but Rasheed Chappell and Buckwild have given is a stripped down spare track that infuses the news of the day with a beat and a flow that brings the perfect attitude to makes us feel the injustice, the fear, the anxiety, and the rebellious anger to stand up and do something about it all.”

                                      “J.Loree & Dav deliver a smooth and lyrical track called ‘Caterpillar’. Standing on a dock outside of a warehouse the two speak about growing into their purpose. They have seen the good and the bad but it allows them to gain their wings and fly away if not today or tomorrow but eventually. ”

                                        “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. ”
