“Boston native, Hannah Felisa delivers ‘Naive,’ in a an emotive and smoky tone that curls around your psyche and keeps you leaning into the emotion. The track is about the end of innocence that comes with the first true taste of independence and that realization that life on your own isn’t quite the clean break and freedom you might have thought it would be. ”
“Nadia Vaeh belts out this ode to living in the moment and taking nothing for granted. The hard guitar and her classic Rock style vocals are the earmarks of the track but ‘Rewind’ is also a deeply meaningful and personal song for Vaeh.
Written as a response to her mother’s death, Vaeh took her time to properly express the emotions and the result is a song that will resonate for many. ”
“By his own admission Born Runner is surprisingly bad at running, but lucky for all of us he can sing and entertain. ‘A long Time’ is a Indie Rock track that simply feels like the soundtrack for a fun Saturday night out on the town. ”
“The party scene can get old and is certainly filled with cliched people. This track from Gwyn Love is how many people deal with such environments. ‘high in the bathroom’ is an Alt Pop anthem for those with social anxiety or those simply sick of the same old same old. ”
“After making a splash with their hit ‘nice to know you, Alternative-Pop trio lovelytheband is back with a follow up single called ‘day run out.’
This lead song from their new album due out August 23rd delivers a nice calm sound and build. The smooth groove and vocals are easy to digest and sing along with. ”
“GAUSTAD is one of the most emotive young voices I’ve heard. ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ is pretty self-explanatory in terms of subject but the nuance and flair that GAUSTAD infuses into the performance is next level talent. Pop Music has a new rising star. Latch on now and celebrate the rise of the phenom. ”
“This track comes alive thanks to the emotion and passion of the vocal performance. Lyves described the track as personal and cathartic and that comes through in the end result. ‘REM’ is about a one sided relationship and the slow dawning of that realization and the track has a dreamscape vibe that mirrors the way our brains tend to work. ”
“Lisa Crawley deliver a sultry soundtrack to the complexities of our mind. The overall sound has an almost spaghetti western vibe that adds a mysterious air to the build. The mix of her sensual delivery and that grittier melody makes for an engaging multi-dimensional track that keeps the listener on their toes. ”
“KTJ & Carly unleash a bit of scorn on those who are all talk and no action relationship wise. ‘Mister Bare Minimum’ is about that person promising and pledging commitment and other things they have no intention of actually carrying through. The track has a nice build and the anger and frustration is palpable in the delivery.”
“Goldie channels the spirit of freedom and perseverance on ‘The Angel and The Saint.’ The track has a FLorence and the Machine vibe for sure but you can’t discount the influence Goldie’s idols Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton had on creating her sound. There is an edge and attitude and empowerment to this track and the imagery of the video is pretty dang enjoyable as well.”
“Lillian Hepler goes scorched earth on her ex in ‘Famous.’ While the them is reminiscent of many songs including Miley’s recent hit ‘Flowers,’ there is nothing derivative about Helper’s track. The arrangement offers just enough anger, but also has a bit of vulnerability in the quieter moments.”
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
“Alanna Matty conjured thoughts of vintage Sheryl Crow on this track.
’Restless’ is a Folk Pop song about the Grind and Hustle mentality the entire world seems to have adopted. It is an anthem to taking a bit of time to simply be and enjoy the journey as much as the destination. ”
“44Phantom doesn’t mention ‘Kansas’ anymore. To find out why you will have to take this emotional journey with the Grunge influenced Alternative Rocker out of Oklahoma.
The song unfurls like a well-written short story in that you will deeply connect with the emotional plight as wella s the musical build.”
“Frances Whitney drizzles in some nostalgia and heartache on this track, but that is not to say ‘Still Have July’ is a melancholic trip and nothing else. The single also has an uplifting and hopeful tone that increases as the track builds.
The song works much like our brains in that it sort of processes multiples things and aspects all at once to give us a splashy Summer time vibe along with a treasure trove of emotions.”
“Jellyka is a Belgium-based producer/songwriter/musician who began his career in the early ’90. ‘Paper Game’ has some throwback vibes but manages to feel contemporary in its dark, brooding vibe. THis is one of those track that is mood dependent for me but when I want to wallow a bit this one is a perfect accompaniment.
The vimagery of the video is basic, but again fits the mood quite well.”
“Greyson Chance straddles the line between Rock, Pop, and Folk on this track. The Oklahoma native can be compared to acts sucha s Mumford or the Lumineers, but ‘Haymaker’ also feels in line emotionally with Americana in the vein of Jason Isbell, or even a more traditional Country sound such as Tyler Childers.
Emotionally raw and vulnerable, the track is masterfully written and performed. ”
“Mike SB is a good song writer. His track has solid story lines however, the song falls short in the arrangement. The vocal tone in the chorus is a little off tempo from the other parts of the song. This makes it hard to really grasp a vibe.”
“The song has a randomly rocky start. It sounds like the guitar is off key in the intro but leads into the artists. Around the 40 sec mark there is a shift in the artist’s tone which makes the song more engaging. I must agree the chorus hits hard and the artist’s vocal tone as well. These two things is what saves the song”
“You might know Regan Aliyah from her starring role in Netflix’s “XO Kitty” or from Marvel Studios’ “Ironheart,” but welcome to a new side of the multi-talented star. “Walkout’ is the latest creation from this artist and the infectious Hip-Hop anthem is one you are about t hear a lot more.
The track comes in with verve and a old school backing, but then her flow hits and hooks the listener for the entire ride. Attitude, and a hint of sultry vibe come along with the intense delivery and confidence that borders on cocky.”
“Peach3 is the Gen Z version of TLC you didn’t know you needed. Old school Trap Hip-Hip with a bit of Pop sensibility gives this track the Commercial edge to stand out in the marketplace, but it is the verve and attitude that truly separates the trio from everyone else. Either you have it or you don’t and these Atlanta natives clearly do.
Lyrically, I did crave more as ‘Ghostrude It’ relies heavily on the hook and bounce to carry the song, but I am eager to see where this trio goes as they establish themselves.”
