Brandon Bill$ x DaniLeigh - Unlimited Skills [Music Video Review]

April 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Hooks for days. The beat, those lines, the imagery of the video ... all of it works here on this track. Brandon Bill$ and DaniLeigh team up to deliver the track with a nice balance and swagger that brings out the vibes. I did wish the track went a touch longer, as I definitely wanted more when it was over. ”

    Loi - I Follow [Music Video Review]

    April 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “At only 18 years of age, Loi already has the vocal power to soar far above where most others are able to go. ‘I Follow’ is a big bold ballad type of song that has a Pink sort of vibe. This German talent is one to watch as she is just launching her career and if this track is any indication I expect it to be a long fruitful one.”

      Catie Turner - Mama [Music Video Review]

      April 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Catie Turner has the perfect voice for offering up a beautiful tribute to mothers. Mother’s Day is not too far off and if this track doesn’t leave you reflective and emotional about the one who brought you into this world and guided you along the way, then my heart goes out to you because that means fate cheated you out of the opportunity to truly experience a mother’s love. This sweet and tender ode speaks to the heart.”

        ALICE MERTON - Vertigo [Music Video Review]

        April 09, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “The video and lyrical build are paired perfectly here in this track from Alice Merton. The German songstress has captured the very essence of soul-crushing anxiety on her latest single, ‘Vertigo.’ The arrangement and progression increase in tempo to give the lister a jolt of adrenaline before the track settles into a surreal stretch that matches the up and down mood of being overwhelmed. ”

          Lola Lennox - Wherever You Go [Music Video Review]

          April 09, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Pop, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Lola Lennox has a new track that is the sugary perfect track for anyone that is forced to spend time apart from the one that they love.

          ’Wherever You Go’ is a glossy Pop track that lifts and soars and will no doubt be shared by long distance lovers all across this planet. Like her famous mother, Lola Lennox has the vocal chops to make just about anything song feel alive and emotional. ”

            Jax Anderson x K.Flay - I Don't Care Anymore [Music Video Review]

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Straight forward honesty always works in art, and this well-written song certainly qualifies in every definition. Something about this hit me as Lorde meets Foster the People. Sure its a bit tough to categorize, but pigeon holes belong under pigeons and nowhere else. This song soared for me no matter how anyone wants to define it. ”

              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.”

                “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. ”

                  “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. ”

                    “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.”

                        ’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.”

                                “Olivia Penalva is an artist on the rise, so don’t be surprised if you hear her name and her latest single ‘Love Me’ a lot of the coming months. A feel good track with a nice energy, this could be one of those tracks that dominates airwaves and earbuds this coming summer,a s it delivers that kind of Pop magic vibe.”

                                  “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.”

                                    “Every artist has to hustle to carve out their place, and there are a ton of tracks highlighting that struggle, so it is a tough theme to hit and stand out. 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.”

                                      “Casey Baer brings vocal power to this track about the pursuit of the dream. 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.”

                                        “The writing and lyrical progression of this track hooked me in and held me for the duration of this smooth groove. Caleborate, along with Kota the Friend, did not add any unnecessary embellishments to this track relying on the truth and strong emotion to bring the words alive. The lyric video allows you to decipher the lyrics in a next level kind of way and this is simply good songwriting delivered in an unassuming manner.”
