George Eve - Never Let You Go [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“George Eve pledges to ‘Never Let You Go’ which lyrically this declaration might come across as a bit stalkerish and creepy, if the track didn’t come with such a bouncy energy that at times feels like a Pop, Ska, Punk, Pop fusion that you didn’t know you needed until suddenly there it was in your face. This is a fun track to fall in on and simply cut loose. I can see this one becoming a singalong bar anthem that we all know the words to by heart.”

Jonah Kagen - Broken [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Striking a balance between Commercial engagement, and an emotive singer/songwriter vibe is a tricky thing to pull off and yet, Jonah Kagen has managed to do just that with ‘Broken.’ Giving the world a relatable and emotional track that still feels like an epic listen the world wants to add to multiple playlists and play over and over again is no easy feat.

This track is like John Mayer meets Mumford & Son.”

Rating: 5 out of 5

“I’m not my father I won’t run away.”

”Kuttem Reese delivers hard core bars with a hard core beat in his new single “All 10” ft Chief Keef. Chief Keef has always been a classic artist in the rap game and to see him go hard on this single supports that. Kuttem Reese is coming strong on “All 10.”

Rating: 5 out of 5

“ I like the southern beat. 2Deep the Southern President provides us with a recap of 2020. Everything was spinning but yet we survived. His flow is smooth and the production is a vibe.”

emlyn - B.O.M.B. [Music Video Review]

“Self described as a ‘Banger for Haters,’ emlyn is Back On Her Bullshit, or ‘B.O.M.B’ if you will. And the result is pure Electro Pop glory as she lays down a pissed off energy and emotional vibe for the engaging track.

Big bold vocals and an attitude that permeates every word and line are the fuse for this musical explosion.”

Rushil - Hold This [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Some artists and songs deliver such emotional power that they immediately hook you and make you feel both what the track is saying, as well as a pulling up feelings from your past. That is what Rushil’s single, ‘Hold This’ did for me. His Indian heritage shines through in places, and in others this feels like a deeply personal Singer/Songwriter type of single that defies a true genre. No matter what the emotion is palpable and undeniable.”

Fionn - Hold Off [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Vancouver’s favorite sister duo, Fionn is ready for summer with this energetic track about finding your own happiness and joy in the world despite all of the toxicity that surrounds us.

’Hold Off’ is a perfect dance number for the club, or for simply tossing your head back and smiling your way through the day with a bit of kinetic energy pushing you along.”

JEFFE - Home [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Knock knock ... Who’s There? THat’s the question JEFFE asks, but this track is no joke. Evaluating ourselves, both in the mirror,a nd internally is something we all do and as our harshest critics sometimes we need a reminder to simply live our lives and stop seeking perceived perfection, because the truest beauty often comes from the flows and fears and all the stuff we often run from.

This Electro Pop track offers a catchy rhythm and a nice lyrical hook that grabs hold and refuses to let go. ”

Dax - Dear Mom [Music Video Review]

“Dax is back with a track that comes with a different vibe than his usual intense flows and messages. Right in time for Mother’s Day, Dax drops this ode to the hard working moms out there who have made a lifetime of sacrifices for the sake of their children while also offering that steady hand of guidance we at times resent be need as we find our own way in the world. This is one to sit back and feel this weekend, and every other day, because we wouldn’t be here without our moms.”

David Davis - Better With You [Review]

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]

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]

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. ”

Natalie 2V - Black Heart [Music Video Review]

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. The video is straight up fun, and will take you back to the days you and your homies got up to jacking around with the world around you.”

Kicking Sunrise - The One [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“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]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“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.”

Tassia Zappia - You Don't Want Me [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“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.”

DaRealFlexx - Deep End (Feat. Vince Knight) [Music Video Review]

Social Media: DaRealFlexx

Rating: 5 out of 5

“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. ”
