JESSIA - Moved Around You [Music Review]

March 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Pop, Alternative
“Love is meant to be a two way streetm though sadly not every relationship finds such balance. JESSIA unleashes an emotional Pop track about carrying the burden of a relationship by giving far more of yourself than the other person is willing. ‘Moved Around You’ has a haunting vulnerability that keeps the listener tethered to the emotions and perhaps reflecting on their own situation.”

    PEPTALK - Good With Goodbye [Music Review]

    March 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative, Pop
    “PEPTALK teams up with Chloe Parché to get ‘Good With Goodbye.’ The Indie Pop track is about saying see you later to that toxic relationship and that person who treats you like garbage.

    From the outside such situation are usually clear but when mired in the history and emotions of such a relationship it takes a moment of strength and clarity and this track artfully highlights such an awakening. ”

      Emily James - Suburbia [Music Video Review]

      March 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Pop, Folk, Alternative
      “Dripping with nostalgia, this track tells an emotional story of thinking you have more time. Emily James sets the stage of ‘Suburbia’ with young love and the false notion created by naivety that said love will be eternal with nothing but good times ahead.

      Reality hits us all at some point but this song also offers hope of redemption and frankly could be taken a number of ways depending on your own experiences and mindset. Which is always the case for truly great art. This is an artfully delivered story song and video that will have relevance for anytne with a beating heart.”

        Jaydi Zavala - Complicated [Music Review]

        March 24, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Alternative
        “The Pop world is full of sultry Divas unleashing their sexuality on the musical landscape. Jaydi Zavala joins the fray with ‘Complicated.’

        This Alt Pop track leans in to the primal urges in both sound and lyrical content. The performance is spot on and the vibe lands with dizzying effect.”

          Danny Bowens - CRYING ON THE DANCE FLOOR [Music Review]

          March 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock, Pop, Punk
          “Danny Bowens takes us on a Pop Punk ride with ‘Crying On the Dance Floor.’ The track ahs a dark lyrical edge that is the perfect juxtaposition for the light bouncy tempo and musical vibe. The two sides are at odds inthe same way we all tend to smile and say everything is fine even as our world is shattering.”

            Tessa Dalton - Dark & Pretty [Music Review]

            March 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Singer/Songwriter
            “The need to fix someone is often disguised by obsession of the dark and mysterious. Tessa Dalton’s track ‘Dark & Pretty’ is about that obsession and all that can come with it if you dive in without considering all that could be lurking there in the shadows. This Alt Pop sing/songwriter vibe is alive with emotion and turmoil. ”

              MIA CEFALO - Girl who HATES me [Music Review]

              March 09, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Punk, Alternative
              “An alternative Pop track that leans intot he Pop Punk vibe, ‘Girl who HATES me,’ is MIA CEFALO’s latest single. The track comes with an energetic build and tone and at times the added harder edge of the melody adds tot he intensity. A fun lyrical ride that will pump you up. ”

                RYN SCOTT - Just Human [Music Video Review]

                March 09, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Pop, Rap
                “RYN SCOTT drops this self-aware flow that should resonate with the masses given we are all ... ‘Just Human.’

                The track takes on a subject and view often ignored in the blustery, cocksure world of Hip-Hop and that alone is refreshing. The genuine honesty, and vulnerability give the song grit in a surprising fashion and the spot on timing and impassioned flow sell it all in a way that makes this an easy track to fell as much as you hear.”

                  March 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock, Pop
                  “This track is an anthem that builds and rises and is perfect for cranking the volume and belting out loud. ‘Forget July’ from the band Out In Front is about breaking free after being mired in something that once upon a time meant everything to you. But no longer feels like a piece you need. ”

                    March 07, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Americana, Pop
                    “LA is a long way from Iluka’s home of Sydney Australia but this talented artist has found her place here in California. Sadly her neighborhood in Altadena was recently decimated by the spate of fires. This track diving into themes of resistance, strength, and solidarity while she navigates the current state of the world. Her vocals are razor sharp and cut your emotionally with skilled precision in this Alt Pop track.”

                                  Ex Habit x BURY - let me fall [Music Review]

                                  February 01, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B, Alternative, Pop
                                  “Newfound love and infatuation can border on obsession and that is the sentiment captured by Ex habit and BURY on their sultry new release, ‘Let Me Fall.’

                                  The track straddles the line between Neo Soul and Contemporary R&B, but certainly has a mainstream Commercial vibe that will resonate with music lovers of all genres.”

                                    Caroline Romano - IDK These Days [Music Video Review]

                                    February 01, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Pop
                                    “Life can get overwhelming and when it does even the small so-called inconsequential things can push us to the brink.

                                    Caroline Romano utilizes her talents as a songwriter and emotive performer to make us feel that array of emotions. ‘IDK These Days’ is a track about life weighing us down and it hits with gut-wrenching precision.”

                                      Selfish Pursuits - Don’t Let Go [Music Review]

                                      February 01, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative, Pop
                                      “Selfish Pursuits offers an uplifting ode to staying in the fight with ‘Don’t Let Go.’ The Indie Pop track ahs a calm even build and delivery making it easy to focus in on the lyrical message. The arrangement allows for your mind to pause and reflect which is perfect for this kind of emotional song.”

                                        Hayes Warner - Oh! [Music Video Review]

                                        January 25, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Dance, Pop
                                        “Dating is a treacherous operation and Hayes Warner unleashes her take on finding love in pure Pop glory with ‘Oh!’

                                        The song is the kind of glossy fare you’d expect from any top Pop Diva of the day and Warner is poised to join that party of Pop Princesses with this engaging and energetic track. ”
