“A Punk Pop anthem that delivers an energetic punch.
’Catfish’ is about exactly what you think it is, but that predictability is not a negative, because the band goes full throttle start to finish. ”
“This is a fun Pop track made all the better for its entertaining video.
Most of us guys have fallen prey to the charms of a crush and attempted to mold ourselves into what we think they want, but the tactic never leads to a good place and this is as amusing and energetic of a cautionary tale as you are likely to ever find.”
“A sultry and sensuous video accompanies a matching set of lyrics. Performance-wise Jessta James, captures the lust and desire here with a slow Pop groove that hints at Latin influences.”
“Packing complex emotions and themes into her writing, Evie Irie’s songwriting is far beyond her actual age. Actually, her songwriting shines for a any age so that comment is unfair to say. Though it is a fact that she is only sixteen, so be aware of this rising star, because the vocals are just as intriguing as the writing.
The video is well down as well and helps bring ‘The Optimist’ to life.”
“Don’t vanish before you take a listen to this track by Confetti.
No matter which side of the ghosting phenomenon you find yourself on, you will appreciate the lyrics and energetic Alternative Rock vibe to this single. Catchy in a way ghosts, nor those bad Tinder dates, ever are, this is a track you will want to listen to more than once.”
“Love how the vocals cut through the track. I also like the fringer effect on the voice. Makes the voice more like an instrument. ”
“This is a happy little track that will have you cruising down a road of endless possibilities.”
“ Grabs your attention from jump. Very good arrangement. The lead singer shows amazing vocal range and control. Great song overall.”
“This is sure a night out on the town in pop and rock radio. His vocals does stick like bubble gum in my years and even the lifted vocals around the 2 mark fit perfectly.”
“Faultlines brings us a folk/pop fusion complete with meticulous harmonies and a nice, even melody proving that Heartfire > Heartburn.
Seriously, I can’t wait to hear more from this LA Folk trio as talent abounds vocally, musically, and in the songwriting.”
“I wasn’t in the best mood when I started listening to this but it spoke to me. I also like how they went back to the basics and delivered the art of storytelling. “Let It Be Me” takes me back to the MTV total request line and Mandy Moore era. It is a certified Pop song and the video reminds you that your super hero awaits you. ”
“Call it commercial fun.
Call it Funk Pop.
Call it whatever you want want, but Dinley Jones has found ‘Fire’ with his new single. It is impossible not to move and singalong to this one, so just give in to the flames and feel the ‘Fire.’”
“It is amazing how a well-written song can emotionally sum things up, and this pop tune certainly does that.
The title of the single does the job of setting the stage, but give these alluring vocals and wryly, smart lyrics a listen and you will be hard pressed, not to join in by the second chorus.”
“This smooth, commercial tune could stand on its own merit, but beyond it so-called ‘entertainment legs,’ this track comes with a story of hope and dreams.
All proceeds from ‘Ready To Start’ will go toward assisting the Make-A-Wish foundation fulfill dreams of kids all over the world. Knowing this adds poignancy to the lyrics and takes a nice pop tune and turns it into an emotionally charged ode to the innocent fighters battling their way back. But not even that fact is the best part of this story.
In celebration of World Wish Day, April 29, Los Angeles-via-Australia electronic music producer Wish I Was (aka tyDi) has teamed up with 18-year-old wish kid Kara Kuper on the beautiful and inspiring “Ready To Start.” It was Kara’s wish to record a song. Being a big fan of Make-A-Wish, Wish I Was was happy to make Kara’s wish come true. Wish I Was secured time at Universal Music’s recording studio and enlisted the help of professional songwriters. In February 2019, Kara flew in from Chagrin Falls, Ohio to start work on the song. The completed song was chosen as the soundtrack for the new Make-A-Wish PSA as part of the 2019 World Wish Day campaign. World Wish Day will be celebrated throughout the month of April, kicking off with the launch of the PSA featuring “Ready To Start” on April 3.
World Wish Day helps bring attention to the significant role a wish plays in a child’s medical treatment. Research shows that a wish can help kids build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness– an eye-opening finding in light of the fact that Make-A-Wish is currently only able to reach one out of every two potentially eligible children in the U.S.
The PSA, created by TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles, stars Make-A-Wish kids and alumni whose wishes to be an astronaut, dinosaur, mermaid, football player, cowgirl and firefighter served as a catalyst for hope and healing. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/D3gkXY1dhCo
Wishes are an important part of a child’s medical treatment. They can give kids the strength to fight, to get better. ”
“This light and airy melody makes it hard to sit still, and combined with a fun set of lyrics this single will have you signing along .
Where Is Kobi?
We can all hope back in the studio recording another fun Pop hit for the world to hear.”
“A description like ... ‘Soft vocals with an edge,’ sounds like an oxymoron, but Liv Dawson pulls off exactly that with Pushing 21. A decidedly commercial offering, this single infuses enough emotion and commonality to engage listeners.”
“An easy pop track destined to be a summer hit as it is easy to smile and groove too.
And Hey, who doesn’t want to feel ‘Awesome’?”
“I imagine this as the post break-up anthem of pissed off women the world over. The funny thing is as a man I couldn’t help but listen to this track over and over and with each listen I found myself grinning and digging the groove as well as the sultry vocals. The lyrics surprised me at times and I loved the no punches pulled vibe of this one. ”
“The best of music enlightens and heightens who we are by tapping into shared emotions. Ella does all of those things while allowing us a heartfelt walk in the shoes of another. This is music that speaks to the soul delivered in a powerfully gruff voice that gives you all the feels. And the video brings the lyrics into a gripping reality. The simply haunting guitar melody adds to the mix to give this song a haunting quality that sticks to your heart for a long time afterward. ”
“The ironic thing about Empty Conversation is that it is a track full of surprises. I dig the smooth R&B backing and the vocals are catchy enough to keep me listening to every word. The Bridge comes in with a whole other vibe and the song just feels like life. No, you don;t know what to expect next, but you are grooving along so you are willing to find out. ”
