Elle Baez - Stereotype [Music Video Review]

September 25, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Music Videos

Rating: 5 out of 5

“This world is full of stereotypes. However, Elle Baez is living her truth and showing her beauty. Surrounded about so many other beautiful women like her they are living free of stereotypes. Life is about having fun and not being anyone’s snow white with tight jeans. ”

    Chaii - Get It Done [Music Video Review]

    September 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Chaii is clearly feeling it on her new track, ‘Get It Done,’ and that confidence is infectious as it hold the listener to this groove. The flow here permeates with attitude and verve and the cadence works well with the sultry purr of her tone.

    The world is full of bad ass women and this one comes to you straight out of New Zealand.”

      Cassie Rytz - Made It [Music Video Review]

      September 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Cassie Rytz is coming with a bit of British attitude and a true Grime vibe that hooks and holds. The flow is delivered with speed and precision and the writing is sharp enough that you will need to give this one a few listens to catch all the bombs being dropped right into your lap.

      The accent could make it tougher for some to dial in, but trust me the effort is worthwhile and the voice is unique enough you won’t be sorry.”

        JC Stewart - Don't Say You Love Me [Music Video Review]

        September 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Adult Contemporary, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “JC Stewart hits on a simple yet complex theme. “Don’t Say You Love Me’ ... just to keep me from leaving is a brilliant line, and comes with a set of emotions that most of us have felt at one time or another. The performance from this Norther Ireland native emotes the passion behind the writing and comes with a blend of anger, resentment, and dismay. All of which is the exact mix such a false declaration instills when tossed out in desperation.”

          Belaver - Mount Misery [Music Video Review]

          September 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Americana, Adult Contemporary

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Strong writing, backed by an emotive and heartfelt delivery, will always find a place in the musical landscape and that is what Belaver gives us with the single, ‘Mount Misery.’

          The track unfolds in low key fashion that is easy to digest and fell but the delivery is spot on in tone. The writing delivers punch through the entire progression making this is the kind of track that sticks with you long after the last note has faded.”

            Leah Kate - Shit Show [Review]

            September 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Leah Kate is anything but a ‘Shit Show,’ but that does not stop her from regaling about the chaos of a wild and fun night. Or poking a little fun at herself and state of affairs she often finds herself in.

            The track is pure Pop gold and the energy and vocal talent makes it easy to fall in and connect with the fun. All of our lives digress into that shit show scenario from time to time so it is easy to buy in and sing along with this one.”

              Gwyn Love - glow'd up [Music Video Review]

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “This track has a light, almost bubblegum feel and I wanted to dismiss it early on for that reason, but the vocal talent shines and that held my attention until I realized that the writing is actually wryly sharp and pointed.

              That combination makes this song infectious in all the best ways, and I stayed leaning in to hear what she would say next all the way through. I can see why all of Gwyn Love’s exes would keep hitting her up, because she has that extra it factor that is hard to let go of.”

                C'Nyle - Just Do It [Music Video Review]

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Truth is a powerful force in all art, and when you can distill it down into a consumable good you have hit your mark. C’Nyle is able to do just that here on this low key flow that allows the writing to land with every single line.

                The beat is mellow and that allows the emotion and message to stick without getting covered up or lost. California vibes with a little mix of Louisiana love.”

                  Zola Simone - Sideways Ft. STL GLD [Review]

                  Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                  “Subtle, understated brilliance! That is how I’d categorize this track from Zola Simone.

                  The arrangement and build isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel but simply relies on an engaging performance of intelligent and well-articulated writing. Both sets of vocals, Simone’s and STLE GLD’s, make their points in entertaining fashion. The writing lands with precision and the track has a nice build and groove musically giving it a very polished feel that hit me right in the gut.”

                      “Simplicity is not a bad thing when done right, but so many artists today go over the top trying to create something new that they lose the message and meaning of their work. Ice Meez avoided that trap and gives us a straight forward, and yes simple, flow while bring his track, ‘Huh,’ to life. But don’t confuse simple for easy or shallow, because Ice Meez packs a lot of emotion into his words and delivery.

                      The video is the perfect patch to his delivery and this Northern Californian artist is one to keep tabs on.”

                        Shot in So Cal, the video matches the mood of the song and both are all about finding your fun no matter what is going on around you. A perfect track for the jacked up world we all live in so add this one to you chill vibes playlist and enjoy the ride. ”

                            “Cosmo Thundercat delivers a timeless rock sound with one foot in the Indie spirit, and the other in more of a classic Roots sound. The writing is sharp, holding the listener at every turn, and the delivery is both emotive and passionate. The build and melody are perfect to set the mood and vibe of the lyrics and performance.

                            Strong solid single that will resonate loudly for so many.”

In Lexi Berg’s new single we discovered even though they say it’s a “Lonely World” the world actually is filled with hope and hearts.”

                                “Stay Gldn delivers and electro pop melody in their debut single “Bloom”. The single speaks on ending a relationship too early without watering it after it was planted. All relationships take time to glow but in this song it ended before it was able to “Bloom”

                                STAY GLDN is both a movement and a philosophy. Composed of multiinstrumentalist writer/producers Anders and Thom, this indie pop duo employ lush soundscapes, infectious melodies and driving beats to convey a

                                  “Rock and Roll isn’t dead, but perhaps stuck up in the trees. Wavy Trees at that.

                                  Not sure the origins of the bands name, but I enjoyed this video and track a great deal. There are some 90s influences to the sound and a rock and roll spirit that carried me along for the progression. ‘Hypocrite’ is well-written and engaging with enough attitude and verve to make it all work and feel alive.”

                                    “Artist Gabe XO will surprise you with this one. “Can’t Lie” is being honest with what you want and don’t want. He is coming straight forward with the girl he wants and what he sees in her. The beat delivers a climax sound and the video displays a good time. ”

                                      “The sounds of R&B is missed. Kajé brings it back in “Tear Us Apart.” The beat is a smooth emotional tempo as the soulful vocals come over it. Singing from the heart but in an understanding manner giving the formula to healing scars and making someone feel special. ”

                                        “Justus Bennetts offers up this short, but pointed track that pretty much says everything we’ve all thought when truly pissed off. Eventually we all find that shitty person who does us wrong and this is the track for that moment!

                                        The flow is light and fun despite the dark tone of the words being delivered and that is what makes this track a fun one. So go ahead and save this one back until the next time you need to ‘dedicate’ it to that someone special.”
