Tamara Bubble - I Love Me [Music Video Review]

March 30, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Riding a staccato beat that comes at your like a siren’s call, Tamara Bubble lets the production do much of the work on the track, but her attitude and verve cannot/ will not be denied, and that combination leaves us with an bold, self-affirmative take that I imagine we will be hearing all over Tik Tok in the very near future.”

    RealShawp - Hey Sexy [Music Video Review]

    March 30, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Music Videos, Commercial

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “It’s the season where everyone wants to work out. ‘Hey Sexy’ is a single that motivates everyone to stretch and conquer their inner sexy. Real Shawp’s delivery is smoove as he gets interactive in the video as an aerobics instructor. The song isn’t fast nor is it slow and the beat has a tempo that keeps you interested. ”

      INTRN x w00ds - I Deserve More [Review]

      March 30, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Music Videos, Electro Pop

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “Life is a battle. We keep so much inside that our thoughts become a battle. Intrn and w00ds introduce us to a new single ‘I Deserve More’. It’s about having a revolution of wanting more and knowing you deserve more. The delivery is calm and the tempo stays the same but you are pulled in by the songwriting. We all deserve someone who loves us just as much as we love them. ”
      — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

      Lyrics: (Verse 1) I can’t keep this up Sometimes words aren't enough And I’m struggling to be here Let my head wander off ‘Cause I’d rather be lost Than to face all I’ve run from this year (Pre-Chorus) And I’m grasping On to anything Disregarding the truth that I (Chorus) I deserve more I deserve someone who loves me too I deserve more I deserve someone who loves like I do (Verse 2) I wish you the best And it’s hard to admit But I know that I’ll figure it out While I’m banging my head Hanging on by a thread ‘Cause I’m scared that I may have missed out (Pre-Chorus) And I’m grasping On to anything Disregarding the truth that I (Chorus) I deserve more I deserve someone who loves me too I deserve more I deserve someone who loves like I do X2 (Outro) I deserve more I deserve someone who loves me too I deserve more I deserve someone who loves like I do

        Loudmouth Lisa - One Born Every Minute (Zuck Mix) [Music Video Review]

        March 26, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rock, Alternative

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Loudmouth Lisa delivers hard-edged American Rock and Roll with wry intellectual lyrics. The lyric video is a must, so that you can truly digest the full punch of the songwriting.

        Don’t be a sucker, give ‘One Born Every Minute’ a listen and add it to you anacrchist playlist. Don’t have an anarchist playlist? Then perhaps you aren’t paying attention to the sheepherders trying to corral you. Loudmouth Lisa is not only paying attention, but providing a bad ass soundtrack to the rebellion.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Pure musical energy! Arkells is joined by K. Flay on this track on this Poppish Rock track about going after what you want. Don’t hold back! ‘You Can Get It’ is the kind of track that will get you up on your feet and moving both literally and metaphorically.

          A great add to your energetic and motivational playlists.”

            “If you like your music with a hard edge, and razor sharp attitude, ZillaKami has the sound you are craving.

            ’Chains’ is a take no prisoners type of track with a hard guttural delivery, and an industrial sounding guitar that drives the backing and brings out the grittiness of this writing and performance.”

                      “Jordan Baumstark for sure conjures Mac Miller vibes, but the retro funk and groove to this track ads an old school feeling to the mix as well. This is one of those tracks that feels like something you’ve heard before from your very first listen. Not in an unoriginal copycat or tired sort of way, but in that it just feels comfortable and classic.”

Blvff and nikmoody were able to do that here with a dark and gritty flow that feels honest and true without trying too hard. The strength is in the delivery, and the writing, and the lines land with precision allowing the listener to feel the tired determination.”

California and the ‘Hollywood Hills’ have long called dreamers of all types, but the struggle to stand out and achieve those goals is fraught with pitfalls and dangers and it gets damn tough to make it unscathed. This ballad details that struggle quite well, and you can feel the hope and anguish within the words.”

                                ETHOS XCIX- Leave Me [Review]

                                “You ever wanted to talk but felt like it was pointless? ETHOS XCIX new single ‘Leave Me’ is a direct intro to a pointless feeling. The song starts with realizing you are fxcked up and can’t be saved. He recaps on things he has heard before but at the end of it all he is twisted. I also like the solo EDM instrumentals throughout the song. ”

                                  “Stark simple truth — that hits hard!

                                  Arlo Maverick delivers lines and truths that are unfortunately far too true. The imagery of the video is powerful and the gospel like delivery of the chorus adds an emotional depth that really hits home. Strong track and video and the power of the hook hits hard.”

                                    “We have spent a lot of time in isolation this past year and the emotional toll is undeniable. Anja Kotar has distilled much of those feelings into a beautiful Pop song. ‘Alone Together’ captures the rise and fall of emotions and the sort of sweeping uncertainty that has been covering us all. ”

                                      Ashleigh says: “‘Angel’ is about self-liberation, understanding and valuing yourself through past experiences with relationships and society. The song is about black love and centers around the concept of self-love, self-confidence, self-pride and the unity of and journey between two lovers.”
