Ama x Vic x Amalie Wikmark x Victoria Herness-grønne øyne[Review]

August 20, 2024 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Neo-Soul

Rating: 2.5 out of 5

“The vocal delivery is so soft spoken I struggled to hear, I found myself turning the volume up louder to form a connection. However, I couldn’t grasp the songwriting aspect. The features do sound good together and very well blended. I couldn’t tell who was who. My recommendation would be to adjust the vocal level so a listener can embrace the song.”

    Jan3t -Holy Days [Review]

    August 11, 2024 by Kreadiv Kesh in Neo-Soul

    Rating: 3 out of 5

    “This was be a good track without the layered mix in the beginning. That makes the song come off as being all of over the place. The first few seconds sound like you are turning the channels on the radio and finally find a song that sounds good but struggle to get a strong signal. Don’t get me wrong Jan3t perfectly mixes electronic and acoustic which will engage listeners once they get pass the first few seconds.”

      LEWIS FITZGERALD -'Darling' Featuring Libianca [Music Video Review]

      August 11, 2024 by Kreadiv Kesh in Neo-Soul

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “This song is truly about the essence of sound as rising South London artist Lewis Fitzgerald steps in the booth with global Afro-R&B sensation and BRIT Award nominees Libianca. Darling is a Neo-soul track that pulls you in early in. It is filled with energy and soulful sound that will make you smile. The artist’s musical chemistry is amazing as well. ”

        Isa Y - Lose [Music Review]

        August 03, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Neo-Soul, Music, Soul, Contemporary R&B

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “A Jazz influenced Soul track, ‘Lose’ offers a chance to sit back and relax as you contemplate fate and the times in life when no matter what you do things just do not work out how you’d hoped. Isa Y clearly has an old soul and this track has a bit of that old school crooner to go along with the smooth musical groove. ”

          Noak Hellsing - All Day [Music Review]

          June 28, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Neo-Soul, R&B, Jazz

          Rating: 3.5 out of 5

          “This track from Noak Hellsing delivers a nice tranquil vibe somewhat reminiscent to Sheryl Crow’s hit ‘All I Wanna Do.’

          Except ‘All Day’ is more of a jazz-influenced soul sound with less of that Pop edged gloss.

          THe track is a smooth ride and is the kind of track you can enjoy while taking a mellow evening drive, or while sipping a cold beverage poolside with friends as the sun sets. ”

            “This song had a rough start. I was ready to decline because the intro didn’t do it justice. I can hear the empowerment in her vocals which made me give it a few more minutes. Once the chorus hit that is when the song came alive.”

              I AM SOPHIA - Meet in the Middle [Music Review]

              June 21, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, R&B, Reggae, Neo-Soul

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “The world is unmistakably fractured and one of the few unifiers is music. I AM SOPHIA address the divided nature of society but offers a plea to ... ‘Meet In The Middle.’

              The track has a Retro Soul vibe with a little dash of Reggae to spice up the offering. I have to think Bob Marley would be proud of the talent and of the message. ”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “I like how the song creates different vibes with a combination of instrument. The song is contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul, with a little exotic sound to it. Iconic Bastardz knows exactly how to mix and master a track to engage a listener. This was an audio only submission but it leaves you to imagine your own visuals.”

                  “Jon Vinyl knows how to utilize the slow burn to get his point across. ‘Clouds’ offers a touch of nostalgia in a Contemporary R&B vibe that simmers and sizzles in the best possible ways. The emotions in tangible and the performance spot on. Add this to that playlist you go to when the lights are dim and the body next to yours is inviting. ”

                    “A disintegrating relationship is brought into focus through this track by shining a spotlight on ‘That Dress.’

                    The ups and downs of love and the writing on the wall of the end is tinged blue by a spectacular dress that Bryce Drew sings about with passion and heart. The unique perspective, and Drew’s vocal power carries the day and makes the song stand out from the crowd of other tracks covering the same set of emotions. ”

                      “Gaby K reminds me of Amy Winehouse with her raw yet pure song. Her gorgeous new single “What Have I Done” is an afterthought of a good yet bad mistake. You think you are having a good time until the feelings and confusion kicks in. The visual displays her in a debate with herself and her thoughts. ”

The choice of instruments gives the song a natural retro feel and adds a natural funk. This song is a jam and is sure to turn into room into a party. ”

                              “Its not everyday you hear an artist marry, lyrical brilliance with a 80s style R&B/soul style production. That alone shows the genius of King Bliss. The hook song by Tselane Love is 90s R&B in its purest form. This is both fresh and innovative and leads King Bliss to a space to stall in a lane all his own. Witty, well versed bars. Smooth and chill...never changing in tone but never lacking in energy of entertainment value. This is a vibe.”

                                  Francisco Martin - Passenger Princess [Music Video Review]

                                  “Falling in love in the warm Southern California sun. That is what this track felt like for me.

                                  Francisco Martin utilizes a talented vocal range to unfurl his Neo Soul track, ‘Passenger Princess.’ Like a fusion of Bruno Mars and Jack Johnson this is an easy soft track that adds a nice warm glow to your body, heart and soul.

                                  The bright sunlit video pairs perfectly with the entire vibe, so be sure and take time to watch and listen.”

                                    Roni Bar Hadas - Mood [Music Review]

                                    “How could you not be in the ‘Mood’ after listening to this smooth easy Neo Soul groove? For a brief couple of seconds, this track felt a bit dated, but the arrangement quickly settled into a soulful delivery that is simply timeless. so I don’t mind admitting that first gut reaction was wrong.

                                    Roni Bar Hadas unfurls this vocal gem with silky, unflappable talent and the world would be a better place if everyone took time out of their hectic stressful days to vibe to some sweet sweet music like this.”

                                      “No one ever reaches the top of the mountain without struggling to get there. Rohan uses a smooth and easy delivery on this flow about fighting through the pain to reach to the place you want to be in life.

                                      The track utilizes a Rap flow, but also has the groove of a slow and soulful R&B track giving the vibe an added dimension and accessibility to the emotional thread of the lyrical build.”

                                        “A smooth and easy groove combines with a steady rhythm to keep this track moving with ease and grace. The vocal talent is silky and tender, and instills a nice romantic vibe.

                                        Lyrically, I did crave a bit more, but even with that, this is a track I could listen to for years to come. An apt mood setter, and affirmation of the idea that everything feels right when you are secure and stable in your love.”
