Casey Derhak - Get Back [Review]

March 11, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Get Back” is a smooth track. Between enjoying the memories and dealing with heartbreak Casey aims to want more and get back to the way things were. Different scenarios play with ways to get back what they had but it remains a puzzle. ”

    Kiez Munnie - They Say [Music Review]

    March 11, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “I can rock with this track. When you stay in your own world people think you are acting funny or owe them something. Artist Kiez Munnie “They Say” new track is about staying in your own lane and not worrying about people that always on your back. You have to stay focus for yourself and don’t let he say she say ruin who you are. ”

      REAVEN - Ordinary Heroes [Music Video Review]

      March 04, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop, Indie Rock

      Rating : 4 out of 5

      “Have we all lost control of our own lives? Has social media taken over and pushed our dark sides to the forefront? Or are there some ‘Ordinary Heroes’ left that are not slaves to public perception?

      These are the questions posed by REAVEN on their latest track and they are worthy ones to ask. This is an Indie Rock anthem that feels like both a protest and a wakeup call all the while offering solid entertainment and talent to back it up.”

        Hotel Mira - Speaking Off the Record [Music Video Review]

        March 01, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Pop, Rock, Indie Rock, Indie Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The road to stardom is fraught with all manner of stress and pitfalls as is life itself, and Hotel Mira captures that with ‘Speaking off The Record.’

        Any artist worth their salt has experienced hard times as most often the tough times are the creative fuel that inspires great art. This track is candid and raw and taps into the pain and turmoil that we all feel and experience, but are often too afraid to share with the world.”

          Becky HIll x Galantis - Run [Music Video Review]

          February 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Electro Pop, EDM, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Becky Hill is a phenomenal talent, and her latest single ‘Run’ is another triumph for this talent Brit. Teaming up with Swedish group Galantis, this big bold offering is an epic conversation about how we run from love after being hurt a few times. The uplifting nature of the melody and build lends the track an almost motivational quality and serves as a reminder to us all that there is power in the vulnerability of keeping our hearts open to the idea of love. ”

            Micah Banks x Calabasas x Atom - Easy [Music Video Review]

            February 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, EDM, Contemporary R&B, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “This track tells a story, not only in the emotional and passionate lyrics, but also in a well crafted video.

            ’Easy’ dives into the dysfunctional rules of love and broken hearts. The fact it is easy to blame the other person when the one you loves strays.

            The song is nuanced and real, just as modern love tends to be, and the ride is emotional and genuine. Combining EDM with a Contemporary R&B brand of delivery, the single takes a few surprising turns in its arrangement and video presentation, but holds the listener throughout.”

                Sam Tompkins -"Hero" [Music Video Review]

                Rating: 5 out of 5

                “Sometimes we have to do a self check or surround ourselves with people who care about us. Sam Tompkins releases new single “Hero” to highlight the battle we tend to go through when we loose hope. They don’t see how important they are to others they only see how and feel miserable within themselves. Encouraging someone to find their happy moment can be a photo away.”

                  “The value of relationships are important. We often wonder why when we push people away they still stay and stick around. Gina Naomi Baez delivers a pop power ballad about finding someone you can not only love but trust, and questioning why you deserve them. Trust is one thing and loyalty is another but to have both is worth not letting go of but accepting it and being thankful. ”

Riding vocals that feel haunting and homesick, Rêverie delivers ‘Casa Don’t Know’ with a despondent brand of passion that draws the listener in close to feel every word. There is a timeless vocal quality to her talent, and that allows Rêverie to step outside the lines of commonality and deliver contemporary songs that feel bigger than the world they inhabit.”

                            This is a quiet song in that there is no true rising crescendo and dramatic build but the emotions are true and genuine and the mood is well set. ”

                              ’CLOSER’ is the latest track from the artist and once again Cassata has tapped into an emotional energy that sells the lyrics with precision and verve. This track is a bit more energetic than the others we’ve featured, but the groove and rhythm really help bring this one to life.”

                                “Sometimes we love the idea of someone or something more than the actual person or thing. Madisyn Gifford drops this track about moving on from a relationship while missing not the person but all the external variables that made up their surrounding while together. The vocal delivery is honest and borders on vulnerability mixed with regret. Lyrically the track is almost a stream of conscious vibe that we all do when contemplating how things used to be. ”

                                  Drax Project - Crazy [Music Video Review]

                                  “Comparisons to Bruno are bound to come for Drax Project, but don’t be fooled into thinking this New Zealand group is merely a copy of something you’ve heard before. “Crazy’ is a catching and rhythmic anthem of sorts that will get you up and moving and reminded me more of a vintage Jamiroquai more than Bruno. A fun energetic track that will sweep you up and in. ”

                                    Marian Hill (featuring GASHI) - little bit [Music Video Review]

                                    “Running into an ex is always a bit awkward, and this track from Marian Hill explores that set of emotions. The arrangement is intriguing and not at all predictable. I did crave more tempo a few times, but this was a track that kept me leaning in for the duration and I felt the emotion of the writing come through in the performances.

                                    A unique build that somehow brings out the uncomfortable sensation of running into that person that once meant everything to you.”

                                      Kade Fresco - Left Out [Music Video Review]

                                      “Kade Fresco drop this low key, yet meaningful flow and it hits with precision. Riding a lyrical build that most, if not all, of us can relate to, Fresco lets the melodic groove work alongside the lyrics to convey emotion and meaning.

                                      The track is all about mood and perspective making it one to listen to over and over again so you can pick up on all the lyrical nuance.”

                                        “Life will throw you trials and tribulations but it is up to you not to run away. Waynewood and JavyDade sing about problems in “5150” single. In a retro yet lyrical visual they give reasons why you should take your problems head on. It will be an emotional battle but you must bury your issues. The tempo is laidback but direct. ”
