GROZ - Save Me [Music Video Review]

July 29, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Pop, Music, Music Videos

Rating: 5 out of 5

“The artistic delivery is phenomenal. Groz introduces us to a subtle story as a young girl then delivers her strength vocally as a woman. With the ballet dancers guiding her throughout her new single “Save Me” is about sticking around over the years because you never know when someone may need you. ”

    Reiv - Supernovas [Review]

    July 21, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Reiv newest single “Supernovas” is a melodic rap song mixed with multiple flows and melodies. This mix is a relaxed vibe that will leave you musically floating. Reiv’s persona is very laidback and you can hear it in his vocals as he takes you to a different space”

      Confetti - Boring [Review]

      July 09, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Rock, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “We are transitioning out of a difficult time for all of us and people are restless and sick of isolation. ‘Boring,’ from Confetti, takes those stuck feelings of being trapped and our desires to venture out and find some excitement and fun and turns them into a fun track. The song delivers a poppish, almost Reggae vibe at times that gives this track an chantlike feel to its hook and makes it feel like a true anthem for the times.”

        Sarah Barrios - IH8EVERY1 [Lyric Video Review]

        May 28, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Pop, Punk, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Love this track, though the video did leave me feeling a bit woozy so truthfully I will enjoy this one more without the wonky imagery. The straightforward lyrical build and message works well with Barrios’ emotive and passionate delivery, and the musical arrangement works well to impart an energetic attitude to bring it all home.

        All in all, a fun Punk pop track that I will be adding to a few playlists.”

          Gravity Circus - Shaky Little Dice Roll [Review]

          May 28, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Indie Rock, Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “This track from Gravity Circus gave me White Stripes vibes right from the start. WIth a bendy and brooding arrangement the build and progression offers a bit of funky Rock and Roll spirit, with a hardcore edge lurking there in the background. This is a hard track to to join in and sing along with by the second run through the chorus. ”

            May 21, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial, Pop, Rock
            “Self described as a ‘Banger for Haters,’ emlyn is Back On Her Bullshit, or ‘B.O.M.B’ if you will. And the result is pure Electro Pop glory as she lays down a pissed off energy and emotional vibe for the engaging track.

            Big bold vocals and an attitude that permeates every word and line are the fuse for this musical explosion.”

              Fionn - Hold Off [Music Video Review]

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Vancouver’s favorite sister duo, Fionn is ready for summer with this energetic track about finding your own happiness and joy in the world despite all of the toxicity that surrounds us.

              ’Hold Off’ is a perfect dance number for the club, or for simply tossing your head back and smiling your way through the day with a bit of kinetic energy pushing you along.”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Ida Maria demands to be heard on ‘Dirty Money.’ A Pop Punk anthem that offers a bit of pointed commentary to go along with the girl screams and agitated energy. and the combination sneaks up on the listener to keep them leaning in and engrossed in the overall sound and progression.”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Vocally, Tassia Zappia lands somewhere between Elle King and Amy Winehouse, and in that the talented Aussie is keeping some serious company. ‘You Don’t Want Me’ is an attitude-filled slow roll, that churns with passion in the form of a pissed-off frustration that is damn near tangible within the performance. Bluesy, yet still Commercial in sound, this track is one far too many of us can relate to after being in such a relationship.”

                    “The video for ‘Butterflies’ is interesting and held my attention, though for me the imagery felt oddly paired with such an emotionally personal song.

                    James TW clearly has the vocal chops to deliver the proper impact on this well-written song about the regret of letting that special someone slip away. Smooth and soft in that Pop singer/songwriter way, this track captivates.”

                              “We all love to discover those powerful new voices and then share them with our friends. Here is your chance to be the musical explorer in your core group and share an important new voice. mae krell delivers talent and vulnerability that rises above what most artists are capable of.

                              Written on the two year anniversary of their sobriety, “are you sure?” explores the low points that make you forget the progress you’ve already made. The emotion is temporary, but it’s painful to overcome. Sung with the tremor of someone on the verge of tears, the single is raw in the most intimate way, with Mae’s distinctive voice wavering over textured guitar and charango and piano accents. ”

                                Running Lights - Not the One [Review]

                                “Delivering a classic sound with enough modern flair to keep from feeling too retro, the latest single from Running Lights, ‘Not The One’ is an anthem to past loves and the realization some relationships are never meant to last. The overall vibe is positive even as the lyrics reflect on a broken past.”

                                  “Melody Federer drops this Anti-Love song which delivers an eerie vibe — as if the track were created for a Valentine’s Day version of NIghtmare Before Christmas.

                                  There are clear Pop Elements, but ‘I Hate Love’ offers its own brand of angst-filled rebellion that wraps around your cold heart like a sinister snake looking for warmth. Dark and winding, the arrangement captivates and intrigues even as you fear the bite of those jaded thoughts.”

                                    “This could be the perfect song dropping at the perfect time! It feels like we are emerging from some type of dark tunnel and Further The Lion has created an energetic anthem that hits perfect for the time. So shake the dust off all the residue of this past twelve months or so, and revel in the Pop Punk track, ‘It’s So Good.’”

                                      “Coming with a soft, Bedroom Pop style of songwriting, mehro gives is a track about regret. ‘Chance With You’ is a reflective song about wanting to turn back the clock and take that shot you were too afraid of at the time. The vocals are full of yearning angst and you can feel the regret in every line. ”

                                        “Dezabel comes in smooth but allows anyone listening to be engaged. ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait No More’ is Electro Pop meets RnB. He speaks on how he is becoming impatient with anticipation. I like how a female’s vocals was introduced after the two mark to give a strong feeling of emotion. ”

                                        Swiss songwriter and producer Dezabel kicks off 2021 with his latest single 'I don't wanna wait no more'. Blending analog and electronic elements, Dezabel sets the scene for this emotive, yet hooky track. With a more than ever relevant message about friendship, the lyrics reflect a feeling that the world over can relate to. Irish singer Calvin Biasi takes the lead vocal role with his powerful and unique tone, with further layers coming from the incredibly talented American based singer Jazelle Paris making 'I don't wanna wait no more' a song that will be echoing in your head from the first listen.
