“Jade LeMac might not be on your radar yet, but she should be. This talented artist has the emotive power to hook a listener with but a single line. ‘Got Me Obsessed’ has a touch of Amy Winehouse in the tone although delivered more in a Contemporary Pop vibe. LeMac has the driving force of Arista records behind her so I expect to hear mor of this track and this artists in the months and years to come. ”
“This record feels like pure kinetic energy. I challenge you to listen to this song and not move your body. There is a tender bittersweet pining for a moment lost which is all too real. You know what they say about closed doors, and open windows... ”
“Ashes is a glorious masterclass in restraint. Tim could have gone all out with vocal acrobatics but thats not what song is about. Ashes is a tender lullaby of reflection and self-honesty. We love the high and are terrified of the come down and Tim paints that fall with strokes of melancholy and quiet resolution.”
“Break ups hurt theres no way around it. They suck, like really SUCK...BUT... If you’re really lucky you get that magical gift of hindsight. You see that that break up was ‘the best worst thing’ for you. Sklyer floats atop airy guitar driven production raining down on us with poetic honesty. Some lessons in love are only ever learned that hard way, but a song like this makes you know you’re gonna be ok. ”
“This is one of the realest songs in a long time. Kayls does an amazing job holding up a mirror to her own online voyeurism and calls herself out. We’re all guilty of watching the world go by from the comfort of own beds. We know what people ate for a week straight but haven’t said a word to them. The modern world we live in is lonely and we all crave connection, and the internet is a cheap fix to keep us distracted... I take it back I think Kayls just held a mirror up at me.”
“BOWIE unleashes a powerful truth anthem with the track, ‘No One Knows Me Better.’ Deliving haunting vocals at times and defiant attitude at others the arrangement of this track conjures thoughts of Queen while the vocal style is more of a blend of Lorde and P!nk.
Lyrically the track is a giant finger in the face of all those who think they can tell you what is best for you but too often they are simply expressing what is best for themselves.”
“A Story Told gives an energetic ode to finding what matters most and putting your effort and concentration in on those elements of life. Excising the distractions and cancerous people is no easy task but becomes much easier when you take the time to truly evaluate the meaningful things in our personal orbit. Musically, this track is as light and free as the feelings it is trying to express.
A fun, uplifting track. ”
“A classical piano intro turned jazzed up pop composition. The hook is catchy and preaches the “mantra” of doing whatever it is you wanna do. This song is an uplifting track about really digging deep inside and understanding that you can go as far as you push yourself to go. Smooth melodic vocals over a chill, pop style production. The bridge brings forth the climax of the track then leads to skillful play to end the song out as the chorus rings on. Janet Noh delivers with this one. ”
“First off, the guitar player is masterfully skilled. The way they use the guitar alone to keep the pace and feed spice into the production when needed is groovy. Julianne has smooth, tonal vocals that blend in perfectly on top of this techno pop beat. The claps bring in the live performance aspect which draws the listener into the song as more of an experience than just a listen. This song is sure to make any dance floor get crazy. ”
“The way the organ/electric piano sets up the listener fro the smooth vocals of Andre really set the tone. Falsetto vocals delivered both clean and crisp. Vocals dancing on top of the chill production as the artist swags out over the beat. This is a jam. Something you could definitely play and just ride the town to.”
“This song is a bop from inception. Deep, bass kicks and hi hats. Eery, telephonic adlibs complimenting the artist rough and raw delivery. Then the smooth transition into the melodic, trance style hook. This song has a futuristic undertone to it that could hint at this being a new wave of music in the near music. Very innovative. ”
“I like the finger snapping throughout Chris Shaba’s “Feelings Gone”. The song builds an emotional pull to anyone who is listening. Feelings are hard to deal with especially when you put your all into it and there’s a trigger that allows them to disappear. ”
“This song reminds me of when everyone was stuck inside for nearly two years and were finally able to go outside. It builds on the excitement of everything that you have on your to do lis. The track is direct and makes you want to participate in getting drunk and being loud. ”
“Idea is a near perfect slice of fresh pop. The record has a hypnotic quality with its sparse production and catchy vocals. I mean who hasn’t been caught up in the idea of something and someone and then the sobering reality comes crashing down and you just hope they say it so you don’t have to... or is that just me & Maty?”
“April took a big and almost cheesy pop song and brought it right back down to earth and made it her own. Aprils version is so tender and and vulnerable. The lyrics are totally reframed into the honest self-reflection that they are. Absolutely beautiful. ”
“This song is a smash. Chant worthy. Harmonic. Well written. Nazzy the Mic takes you on a playful romantic journey with slick lyric and cadences. A fun song with clean production. The beat and artist compliment each other perfectly. This song could be a hit that last for a lifetime if put in front of the right ears. I would love to hear more from Nazzy.”
“Even the devil was an angel sometimes” is such a poignant line, and thats what Femke does so well on this record. No word is wasted, Love Somebody Else is vidid poetry. The vocal performance is so honest and pure you can’t help but daydream of every love you’ve ever lost.”
“The music automatically draws you into this techno, pop free fall. Ana delivers strong vocals with an even stronger message. The everyday doubts and wants of any human being...to be more and have more than what they have due to the hard work and labor they put in. A deep song with a playful outer texture. This is stadium music. Big record.”
“Karim Panzetta describes the infatuation with a woman to be the opposite of angelic. She is so intriguing it can be deadly to the heart. “No Angel” has the sounds of The Weeknd with Pop meets RnB. The lyrics are so descriptive it allow you to visualize how intriguing this person is.”
“This is a rock track that will amp you up. Painting Pictures takes off with a strong delivery that allows you to follow along and painting pictures. Each verse is a memory of a great time.There is a solo around the 2 mark that will have you rocking out as well.”
