“Plenty of music claims to be a fusion but in the case of RJ Pasin and Sophia Powers new track, ‘XO,’ the term is one-hundred percent accurate. Metal Core Pop? Electro Pop Punk?
It doesn’t really matter how you label this in your face ode to cutting through the noise of societal pressures and delivery your truth, because you will feel it deep in your soul.”
“Real true connections are tought o find so many of us have found ourselves in the dismal situation of a forced relationship. You know things could and should be better but its hard to walk away when things are also not that bad. This track is about the growing awareness that the time to escape has arrived, as well as the freedom that final decision can instill within us.
Savanna Leigh sell the lyrics well and you can feel the layers of emotion both before and after in her performance. The video and musical arrangement adds some whimsy lightness to what is a big decision. ”
“Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.
’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”
“Listening to ‘So Good’ from Andy Tongren conjured the same feeling as sitting fdowna nd having a cold beer with a good friend on a warm weekend afternoon. In other words it feels .. so good.
The song is light and airy in a folks Indie Pop kind of way. This is the kind of song that will make a good mood feel even better, and transform you from a bad mood into a happy one as you listen.”
“Life and time has a way of sneaking up on you and no matter how many years you;ve already seen there has to be a few things you had hoped to find or experience by now. That regret can pile on a person and weigh them downa nd Arctic Wave has captured that burden and sense of dread well with ‘Ten Or Twenty.’
The video only helps sell the sentiments and emotions of this well conceived track meant to remind us all ... there’s still time.”
“It isn’t easy to put Duckwrth in a box and label him. And this new release, ‘I’m Really Changing’ only amplifies the ambiguity of his sound.
The track brings some Neo-Soul groove, a little R&B smoothness and a tranquil Hip-Hop flow to unleash the lyrical progression of this track about shifting and changing to be a better man. But in the end, it’s all about that tasty vibe!”
“Let me introduce this track with a quite from the artist ... ‘When I was 14 I was an emo kid, Now I’m an emotional man.’
This emotions have manifested into an Alternative Rock sound that is undeniably inviting. YEah maybe it is in that misery loves company vein though there is nothing miserable about this song or the talent behind it. I;m simply talking about the shared human experience and how we all face and feel the same things.
’Wound’ showcases that and the band’s ability to deliver what we are feeling. ”
“Sadly, we usually know when a relationship is doomed or even over long before we admit that fact out loud. Sitting on Saturn leans into that bit of human psyche with ‘Ticket to New York.’
The LA area Rockers are on tour with 311 this summer and pissed to hit that next level. Catch them now while you can and be part of the wave up.”
“Dripping with nostalgia, this track tells an emotional story of thinking you have more time. Emily James sets the stage of ‘Suburbia’ with young love and the false notion created by naivety that said love will be eternal with nothing but good times ahead.
Reality hits us all at some point but this song also offers hope of redemption and frankly could be taken a number of ways depending on your own experiences and mindset. Which is always the case for truly great art. This is an artfully delivered story song and video that will have relevance for anytne with a beating heart.”

”Hip Hop has long been about attitude and verve and standing up and out. Diamond the body has embodied all of that with ‘MVB.’ The flow slaps, and the beat adds to the vibe of the track.
This is one of those track that will be divided between the lovers and haters, but I applaud the confidence and the talent so count me as one of the lovers.”
“An Alternative Rock ode to bad timing and missed opportunities, ‘A Day Late,’ is about that friend zone crush you can’t quite stop thinking about the what-ifs.
Anberlin delivers a sound that would have been right at home in the 90s, but still feels relevant and Contemporary today because that is what timeless talent will do for a band. ”
“RYN SCOTT drops this self-aware flow that should resonate with the masses given we are all ... ‘Just Human.’
The track takes on a subject and view often ignored in the blustery, cocksure world of Hip-Hop and that alone is refreshing. The genuine honesty, and vulnerability give the song grit in a surprising fashion and the spot on timing and impassioned flow sell it all in a way that makes this an easy track to fell as much as you hear.”
“When submitting this song for consideration, Slow Joy wrote ... “When I was 14 I was an emo kid, Now I’m emotional man.”
This sums up the track ‘Gruesome’ quite well. Emo Rock had a moment in the 90s and a song like this could very well usher in a new era for the genre.”
“Canadian, Elijah Woods has released a new Pop track, ‘Could You Love Me?’
Anytime a Pop star emerges from Canada there will be comparison to Bieber but Woods has a more traditional vocal talent and is less bubblegum and kitschy making him an artist that should appeal to a broader base of music fans. This track has some retro 80s vibes but has the lyrical depth and emotion to be a contemporary hit. ”
“We can all get a bit too wrapped up in our own lives to be the friend or partner we should be. It is important to remind yourself that there is a big beautiful world beyond the myriad of stuff swirling inside our heads. And admitting we are not the center of the universe can certainly put things in their proper place.
Daniel Arison wrote this track after a friend called me out on ‘Selfish’ behavior and he had the time to digest the accusations. The talent and energy he utilizes in creating and performing the track just might make you take a closer look at yourself. And if not, well you’ll at least be entertained for a few minutes. ”
“Life can get overwhelming and when it does even the small so-called inconsequential things can push us to the brink.
Caroline Romano utilizes her talents as a songwriter and emotive performer to make us feel that array of emotions. ‘IDK These Days’ is a track about life weighing us down and it hits with gut-wrenching precision.”
“Dating is a treacherous operation and Hayes Warner unleashes her take on finding love in pure Pop glory with ‘Oh!’
The song is the kind of glossy fare you’d expect from any top Pop Diva of the day and Warner is poised to join that party of Pop Princesses with this engaging and energetic track. ”
“Marz Da Hippy and Chadster team to give us ‘Sleeping.’
The smooth easy beat and rhythm does indeed instill a calm, sleepy vibe though this track is one you will want to stay awake and alert for.
The track is a vibe an reminder to relax and roll with the punches while being grateful for the things that are going right. We all have a tendency to focus on the bad and that allows the doom to take on an outsized role in our lives. This track is a talented reminded to enjoy the good and weather the bad. ”
“Monotronic is a vibe that blends a variety of styles and even musical eras to create an engaging sound. ‘Looking Away’ has an 80’s feel though the track in no way feels dated and certainly delivers a Contemporary feel as well. The result is a timeless Indie Rock track that gets better with every listen.”
“South London artist, Lewis Fitzgerald is a rising star. We;ve featured him before and his name is starting to pop up in more and more places. Easy’ is Fitzgerald’s latest single and it continues to showcase his versatility and talent.
I won’t claim this is my favorite track from him, but “Easy’ is a good song. Perhaps a bit glossier than I personally favor, but this London artist is capable of grittier music with a sharper edge as well, and this more Commercial offering will certainly find eager listeners. ”
