WILSN - Brand New Day [Review]

November 01, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Bold vocals, that remind of Winehouse, and a melody that is both modern and darkly retro, drive this track. Lyrically the single might not offer as much as some other songs, but the magic of the performance is that it doesn’t need to be, in order to evoke a strong emotional reaction. ”

    Omar Kadir - Red Cup [Review]

    October 31, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A haunting reminder we can’t have it all, this track is delivered in a soulful flow that falls somewhere between R&B and Hip-hop.

    Sometimes you have to leave something or someone behind to chase a dream, but such sacrifice does not come without emotional turmoil and you can feel that in every line. ”

      Nakfa - Sera [Review]

      October 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Dropping a smooth and classic sound, Nakfa bends genres with this Hip-Hop old school 90s R&B vibe.

      ’Sera’ is a track that took me a bit to connect to lyrically, but from the start I felt the groove behind this single.”

        “Vocals that feel raw and vulnerable highlight the impact of the well-written lyrics on this track. But do not dismiss the dark humor of the video which makes its point visually as well. ”

          “Soulful introspective that is made all the more touching by Saul Rivers smooth vocals.

          ’Change’ is a single that delivers pop style sensibilities, without sacrificing poignancy and emotional depth.”

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “With soulful power, Yvette Nacer delivers the grains of emotional truth that provide solid ground for this single. Metaphorical ‘Quicksand’ is something we all slip into from time to time, and this track captures that sinking feeling while also lifting us up with the power of determination.”

              Mike Dignam - Under The Influence [Music Video Review]

              Rating: 3.5 out of 5

              “Mike Dignam has dropped a soulful single with evocative emotions.

              ’Under The Influence’ is rife with self-loathing and the words and performance ring true enough to pull the listener deep into his perspective. Which in turn, allows us a clearer look at our own thoughts and emotions.”

                Mentum - You The One [Review]

                September 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Neo-Soul

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “With a lot of soul, and a dash of pop fusion, Mentum delivers ‘You The One,’ a single that in the old days would be dedicated on radio shows and included on homemade mix tapes for the one you love. Now I suppose it will be added to playlists and played in the shadow of night as lovers collide.

                In other words, this is a smooth love song that hits the right notes musically and emotionally.”

                  “Silky vocals and a nice energy are at the forefront of this single from Scandinavian Neo-Soul band D’Sound. A good beat gives this one a party feel, even though the lyrics are a bit heavier emotionally.”

                            “Heartfelt vocals deliver this melancholy pop song about wanting to feel okay, while feeling stuck and out of place.

                            Acoustic guitar melodies add to the lonely vibe of this stripped down set of lyrics. Heavy on emotion, this is the kind of track that you play when you don’t want to think too much, or have your mind changed, but rather are looking for the perfect tune to match your brooding mood. ”

                                “Soulful and genuine, this track feels like the perfect soundtrack for any of us that have ever wandered off the path. The musical accompaniment to an awakening, an awareness, a rebirth. The melody is every bit as emotional as the lyrics, and the last beats of this one will have you wallowing in the feels.”

                                  “Smooth vocals and a silky melody lifts the single ‘Warm Body’ to that sweet spot that will have you grooving along.

                                  With a sound that feels a bit like the old Jackson 5, this track infuses the old with the new to create a great tune. ”

                                    “The sweeter the voice the greater the melody. “All Love” delivers a pop and neo-soul vibe that uplifts you in a positive way.”

                                    It's all about letting it go and just moving forward with self love...

                                      “Xzandra flat out brings it with this heartfelt, and emotionally-charged single about her journey through foster care.

                                      Every word brings forth her scars, and her vocal delivery made me feel those hardships. A sad reality brought home via artful songwriting and a stellar performance.”

                                        “ To define motherhood would come with different means. Lovely Fiction official video tells the story and experiences of mother hood. With symbolism and poetic verses.”
