Anja Kotar - Fun For You [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“To steal a few words from from Game Of Thrones ... the dating world is dark and full of dangers.

Okay, so the original line was the night is dark and full of terrors, but we all know most dating is done at night and no matter the time it is certainly fraught with trouble. Anja Kotar knows this and sings about the odd struggle in a fun and expressive way on ‘Fun For You.’ Both the song and video are pure Pop energy that entertains all the way through.”

Rating: 4 out of 5

TweezDaSwaggyGod - Trip [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

The flow is deliberate and impactful in its honest portrayal of his past and intended future. The delivery here has heart and the writing is genuine in its emotion and intent. The beat gets out of the way for the most part, but offers enough punch to help bring out the lyrical blows.”

Lil Migo - "Rumors 3" [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Lil Migo has a hard appeal. He vocally reminds me of Young Dolph to where the beat drops and there’s no hesitation in the flow. He digs deep into the ways of life and in his world its always go time. He switches it up to a more personal direction when he stops rapping and starts talking but he still keeps the vibe going. ”

Talltale - Tennis Club [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This track won me over with clever writing and the power of an apt metaphor. Of course the vocal talent also shines, emoting the feelings behind those well-written lyrics.

Musically this one could have delivered more punch or a unique spin, but the other elements are so strong I stayed intrigued and on the hook for the duration. The video adds a bit of humor and fun. ”

Ronnie Rage - MazeRunner [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Ronnie Rage has the talent to pull off a soulful delivery that is both vulnerable and defiant at the same time. Conveying complex emotions is tough, even if you tackle one, but ‘MazeRunner’ is the rare track that brings a varied nuance that comes through in every listen in a slightly different way. The flow is clean and pure and borders on an RB type groove at times, but still instills a modern Hip-Hop vibe that makes Rage stand out from the crowd. ”

“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.

Breeze Davinci - Mind Games [Music Video Review]

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]

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 - Mama [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“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. ”

TATUM - Homecoming [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This track took thirty or forty seconds to truly hook me in and once it did I was leaning in and invested the rest of the way. 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. ”
