Kat Penkin - A Better Time [Music Video Review]

November 04, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Hard to say what I enjoyed more ... the emotive talented vocal performance, or the strong writing that constantly surprised me by spinning the direction I thought the next line was headed.

Kat Penkin offers up this smooth Electro Pop groove that gathers you in you with its rhythm as well as its message. A fun listen more than worthy of inclusion on your playlists.”

    ella jane - Calling Card [Music Video Review]

    October 28, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Indie Pop, Bedroom

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “We’ve all been deceived and fooled by another person, and that treachery is even worse when you fall for that person in a romantic way. ella jane’s track is a tongue in cheek Pop ode to revenge on such people. The lyrics are sharp and witty and this song is sort of like Sheryl Crow as Dexter in musical form.

    A fun ride with incredible talent to back it up!”

      Dawson Fuss - Free [Music Video Review]

      October 23, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Music Videos

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Dawson Fuss delivers emotions in new single “Free”. The song focuses on a journey to connect with others but also wanting to understand who you are. The search for clarity and freedom is a journey of its own.”

        “Kill Carter’s new single “Crash In A Benz” is an out of the box experience. Sitting next to a car with nature surrounding him focusing on an apple that signifies the one that broke his heart. This lyric video provides emotional healing at a smooth pace. ”

          Breeze Davinci - Mind Games [Music Video Review]

          October 22, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Neo-Soul, Rap, Autotune

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Breeze Davinci rides a smooth flow and an addictive beat to bring out ‘Mind Games.’ The vocals lean on the production dynamics a bit too much at times, leaving me craving more emotional resonance, but the impact still comes through enough for me to engage and stay tethered to the build. The writing and groove are strong and the track is one I will certainly add to a few different playlists.”

            Peaceful James x HEISAM - Fool 4 U [Music Video Review]

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “This track is not quite as warbling as Biz Markie’s famous track, but ‘Fool 4 U’ has that same fun vibe and groove that is easy to connect with. The piano drives the beat and the fun vocal arrnangement sweeps you along on this song about knowing the person is bad for you and having a hard time breaking away just the same. ”

              BEXX - Daydream [Music Video Review]

              October 21, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Indie Rock

              Rating : 4 out of 5

              “What are you willing to do for love?

              That seems to be what BEXX is asking on this supercharged Indie Rock trip that is both surreal and exotic in a psychedelic kind of way. The video adds to all of that as well and in conjunction with the message of the lyrics gives this complete project a polished intent that few songs/video combinations offer.

              This is the type of project that sticks in your mind and instills new meaning with each watch/listen.”

                Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                “The best advice someone can give you is to “Get That Money”. Riiyoo & Lil Lee new single “10-4” is about getting money and taking the advice that OGs give you. The translation of “10-4” is understanding what is advised to you or done to you. The beat is somewhat suspenseful with a hard tempo. ”

                    “ODDa grew up on an island off the south of England and that landscape feels much like the tone and vibe of his music. There is a soft beauty and an underlying harshness that speaks of crashing waves and win swept shoreline. The track is heavy on emotion and feels all consuming much like the salty spray of the sea when you stand near it. ”

I was intrigued enough early on to stay with it so I’m not saying the opening isn’t strong, just that the emotion truly landed for me a bit deeper in. The video feels right for the mood and emotion of the track. ”

                              “Bars for days. J. Oso drops this track which eschews a traditional hook, in favor of a steady barrage of hard hitting lines and each one lands and delivers a punch that fits perfectly with the mood and attitude of the writing. The beat production gets out of the way for the most part, but does add an underlying attitude which helps bring out the verve of the flow.”

                                AJ Smith - Cooler [Music Video Review]

                                “Staying calm, cool, and collected, in the midst of a first date is no easy feat, and AJ Smith deliver the emotions of those anxious moments with sheer brilliance on this track. ‘Cooler’ is about trying to shake off the mental trappings and insecurities to better connect with the person that has caught your attention. This single certainly captivates and demands attention with its clever structure and emotive delivery. ”

                                  “Cliff Savage wanted to rep So Cal and his East Long Beach home with this track and the track drips with West Coast influence. The beat is smooth and establishes a mood that Savage further brings out with his steady tempo and delivery. This is a track that will stick in your head and keep you settled in a mood all day long. ”

                                    “This emotive track falls somewhere between an emotional singer/songwriter vibe and an Electro Pop energy ready to erupt. Written about the mental health struggles of the singer’s father, the track could certainly be interpreted in other way as well and in that versatility the talent of both the writing and the performance comes alive. I felt every word and held on in eager anticipation to see how the track would build and progress. ”

                                      “I thought this would be just like any other first day out track but FettiBoyz Dinero Jerm proved me wrong. After spending 31 months in jail Fetti was released after proving his innocence. He tells his truth in his new single “Co Defendant”. You often don’t know who is going to ride with you, hold you down, stand beside you but most importantly tell the truth.”

                                        “GAYLE offers this stripped down FU to a former boyfriend, and while the track starts subtle enough, it soon tromps straight to the point in calling out the hypocrisy and lies behind a bad breakup.

                                        ’abcdefu’ offers both clever word play and the directness to make the point with stark clarity. The vocal tone is intriguing and laden with the proper emotion to make such a track truly come alive. ”
