David Davis - Better With You [Review]

May 04, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Music Videos, R&B

Rating: 4 out of 5

Life can be full of ups and downs. No matter the downs if you have that special someone it gets better and better. David Davis’s new single 'Better With You' is an energetic track that leaves you optimistic of what is to come. The chorus background electrifies the song and his energetic tone.

    YFL LC - No Mo Parties (Freestyle) [Review]

    May 04, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Music

    Coi Leray’s “No More Parties” is another song that took off as a background song on TikTok. After the original single released earlier this year, it has since been followed by a remix featuring Lil Durk and a combination of freestyles circulating the internet from artist like K Camp and YFL LC.

    YFL LC “No More Parties” (Freestyle) actually sounds better than the original in my opinion. He delivers a tone that is chilled but will have you vibin to it. In what is usually expected to have an entourage video YFL LC displays that he knows how to roll solo.

      Saynt LA - RUBBABANDz [Music Video Review]

      May 02, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Trap, Rap, Hip-Hop

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “Yep, yep, yep... you know shit is about to get serious when she reaches for that rubber band, but Saynt LA is dropping more than stacks on this track. There are surprises to be had from the build and delivery, but the flow and energy are pure fire start to finish on his track ‘RUBBABANDz.’

      The lines land with a snap, and one listen is not enough to catch all the lyrical pop making this one a fun listen no matter how many times you play it. The Trap cadence and beat give this track a straight-up banger that will pick you up when you are down or fire you up when you’re already teetering on that edge.

      Saynt brings that little but of rasp to his delivery, which adds to the punch of this performance and hooks the listener in. The video is well done and the attitude of the single shines through in the imagery quite well.

      Don’t sleep on Saynt LA, or this track. ‘RUBBABANDz’ belongs on any playlists that craves energy and that IDGAF verve that is perfect for the club or partying from home. ”

        DEVORA - Body Bag [Music Video Review]

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “For my money, the best Rock and Roll is born from anger and attitude. DEVORA offers up plenty of both in this ode to personal rage and frustration.

        ’Body Bag’ sounds like Sheryl Crow, if Sheryl Crow were pissed off and ready to start enacting revenge on all her enemies while teamed up with Rob Zombie to score the soundtrack. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The writing seduces you in, and then the dark sultry vocal tones sink their fangs straight into your neck. ‘Black Heart’ from Natalie 2V comes with a sinister brand of timeless immortality that the best songs all deliver. The track has Pop elements, as well as a dark EDM vibe that adds a dangerous bit of electricity to the vibe.”

            “Straight up old-school swag, both in the flow, and in the writing. If you are a fan of strong ensembles, ala Wu-Tang then this is a track that will get you bouncing to the beat.

              “Are you the reason someone runs to you when they have no where else to go? ‘The One’ is a song about being the center and go to person for someone you love or have feelings for. Kicking Sunrise singer, Joe Murphy directed the music video in Philadelphia, PA. The visual shows the band in a basement with a laidback aesthetics as they focus on different scenarios to have someone make you the reason for anything. ”

                Simone - everything/nothing [Music Video Review]

                “Young love is a theme often seen in music, but despite travelling that same road, nothing about Simone’s track feels cliche or stale. The emotions of ‘everything/nothing’ are up front and present, and oh-so-real, even if it has been years since that first young love of your life. You can feel this relationship unfold, and in that you have no choice but to think back on your own life.”

                  “Vocally, Tassia Zappia lands somewhere between Elle King and Amy Winehouse, and in that the talented Aussie is keeping some serious company. ‘You Don’t Want Me’ is an attitude-filled slow roll, that churns with passion in the form of a pissed-off frustration that is damn near tangible within the performance. Bluesy, yet still Commercial in sound, this track is one far too many of us can relate to after being in such a relationship.”

                    “Picture rolling in the car and not knowing what the day holds until you get to a party.

                    ”Deep End” is a song you can vibe to with the top down or kick it at the crib.

                    Coming out of Costa Mesa, California, Da Real Flexx’s delivery is smooth yet energetic and the beat is a classic vibe. We knew this was a hit because his lyrical delivery is straight to the point with no chaser. As you pay close attention to what him and Vince Knight are saying you are sure to have the urge to hit the deep end even if it’s for the weekend. ”

                      “Trying to help someone you love who isn’t quite ready to be helped, can be frustrating and heartbreaking. Charlotte Jane tackles that very scenario in her new single, ‘Refuge.’

                      Jane says of her track, “At its core ‘Refuge’ is about the frustration of wanting to love and support someone through a tough time, but how you can’t force someone to open up to you. Especially when it’s a mental health struggle or aftershocks from a past trauma, supporting someone can feel like a spectator sport sometimes. You can see the pain playing out but you can’t get involved unless they invite you. I thought I was writing it about other people, then realised I could, subconsciously, be talking to myself.”

                      The track is delivered in tender, but raw vocals that enable the listener to feel every word of the frustration, pain, and hope.”

                        “The video for ‘Butterflies’ is interesting and held my attention, though for me the imagery felt oddly paired with such an emotionally personal song.

                        James TW clearly has the vocal chops to deliver the proper impact on this well-written song about the regret of letting that special someone slip away. Smooth and soft in that Pop singer/songwriter way, this track captivates.”

I did wish the track went a touch longer, as I definitely wanted more when it was over. ”

                                “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 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.”

                                    “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 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. ”

                                        “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. ”
