“Despite the title “Reckless” is a peaceful melody with lyrics of pain and hurt. The theatrical visual shows Madison Beer traveling through dreams as she tells the story of how someone was reckless with her heart leaving her through a spiral of emotions. The overall visual reminds you of the movie Peter Pan and how Tinkerbell would feel if her heart was broken.”
Sometimes you lay in the bed and just pause on life. You think of everything that is going on around you. Ricci Paolo new single "On The Run" is about forgetting. He can't smoke enough or drink enough to escape his thoughts. Alone in a house he feels stuck and ready to run away from it all. The flow is an emotional yet stern mood over a cinematic production.
“Yung Honcho’s delivery is straight forward in his new single “Same 24”. In a collection of visuals he talks on his experience and highlights his talents. “Same 24” is not just a song but his testimony.”
“Impersonator is a person who pretends to be someone else. Katy for Kings new single “Impersonator” shows her in three different scenarios of life. She explains that she is who she is and cannot replace anyone else. Men often depict an image and try to compare but in this visual Katy is clear she cannot impersonate her”
“Free Love” by Jack Diamond is a rapper’s heart felt story. When you are surrounded by so many people they either love you or want you dead. The perception he gives is thinking with his brain instead of his heart. “Free Love” features TIG’s YFN Lucci along side Jack in a church as he looks over his life and recaps. This song doesn’t leave room for assumption or stereo types but opens doors of transparency and understanding.”
“Indie Rock Bands and California go together like weed and ... well California. Wavy Trees offers up a sound and song that incorporates all of that and then some with ‘Nobody Cares.’
The irony is I do care about this song and this band. You should too because both are pretty damn good and we needs artists to keep the Rock and Roll spirit alive.”
“This is songwriting at its best. Chris Robley has that extra bit of intuitiveness to his writing that you normally find in such artists as Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits. That line between heartbreak and hope is always at the center of the work and gives the listener a myriad of emotion to work from. This is a track that grows on you with each and every listen, but is mesmerizing from the very first listen.”
“Some tracks and artists are all about the attitude. Charmaine is such an artist and ‘DOUBLE DUTCH’ such a song. With a repetitive hook and strong in your face verses, the track unfolds like a challenge, or at least a declaration that Charmaine ain’t up for any bullshit.
This is one of those singles that sneaks inside your brain and turns into an earworm, but the experience is entertaining and that’s what counts most. ”
“Tyra Jutai knows how to tell a story, and tell it well. Here that story comes in the form of an Electro Pop Murder Ballad and beyond the strong storytelling and sultry emotive delivery is an eerie delivery that conjured strong thoughts of Amy Winehouse for me.
The track is bold and in your face both musically and visually with the delightfully sinister imagery of the video.”
“Love this track, though the video did leave me feeling a bit woozy so truthfully I will enjoy this one more without the wonky imagery. The straightforward lyrical build and message works well with Barrios’ emotive and passionate delivery, and the musical arrangement works well to impart an energetic attitude to bring it all home.
All in all, a fun Punk pop track that I will be adding to a few playlists.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Coffee and conversations. When you have no one to talk to you find yourself talking to a coffee cup. Osei The Seventh new single ‘Cafe Deluxe’ has a unique yet cute tempo to it. It allows you to release your mind and open up to whatever is going on.”
“ 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
