JAMMY - Rigged! [Review]

May 15, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Hip-Hop, Conscious, Pop, Punk
“The song has a catchy beat that immediately draws you in. I also like the creative approach taken by JAMMY. He effectively share’s his perspective on political issues and relatable experiences, making the song resonate on a deeper level on political issues as well as things people experience. The song is short but has an impact to whoever is listening.”

    Chloe Star - TNT [Music Video Review]

    May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Electro Pop, Alternative, Pop
    “Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.

    ’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”

      May 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Alternative, Pop, Music
      “Clara Lars is a rising star and ‘Better’ is the latest track to showcase her incredible talent. This Alt Pop track explores the end of a complicated relationship and the idea that we can all emerge on the other side of difficulties with as a an improved version of ourselves if we take the lessons and avoid repeating them.”

        autolemy - Be Someone - [Music Review]

        May 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Pop, Bedroom
        “autolemy is a producer, songwriter and author taking a fresh approach to expressing his art via multiple mediums. Releases his albums with fully integrated novels, each novel has an accompanying album of original songs that complement scenes from the book.

        Be Someone is the second song from autolemy’s second album/novel ‘Assisting Fate’ - which released alst month.

        The song is soulful and smooth and even without the accompanying story lands with skill and precision because of the talent and emotion.”

          Sorry, Peach - why are you so scared? [Music Review]

          May 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative, Pop, Rock
          “Sorry, PEach gives us a tranquil Indie track with tender vulnerable vocals early on to truly hook the listener emotionally. ‘Of course the question ‘why are you so scared?’ ... to love me, is one only asked when you find yourself in a vulnerable position so the feel is perfectly matched with the early lyrical build.

          Sorry, Peach elevates the track and lets the music do more of the heavy lifting as the frustration takes over for the back half of the track. A masterfully crafted song.”

            aj - waterproof makeup [Music Review]

            April 20, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
            “Sometimes you just need a good sad song. aj gives us that with ‘waterproof makeup,’ a theatrical ode to those dark angsty nights and times when we are wallowing in our feels.

            The vocal performance is nuance and dripping with emotion. A Pop song with a sullen edge for allt hat the times that call for some self-reflection.”

                April 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative, Pop
                “Mikayla Menzies sings of ‘Misery’ on her latest track but for we listeners the experience is anything but miserable. The emotion comes though in the performance and yo can feel the anguish but I wouldn’t call this a depressing track. Instead it feels hopeful and optimistic in that fresh new start kind of way we all need from time to time.”

                  “Life and time has a way of sneaking up on you and no matter how many years you;ve already seen there has to be a few things you had hoped to find or experience by now. That regret can pile on a person and weigh them downa nd Arctic Wave has captured that burden and sense of dread well with ‘Ten Or Twenty.’

                    “Soul, R&B, and Pop come together to form an engaging and evocative track from Shira Elias.

                    ’Just Wanna Be’ is an anthem of self-love and respect and harkens to an old school 80s vibe without sacrificing a contemporary edge. ”

                      Deep Thrills - She's ON [Music Review]

                      April 04, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                      “Electronica nad Alternative Rock collide on Deep Thrills latest release, ‘She’s On.’ The fast-paced tempo and spitfire lyrics takes listeners on an exploration of sex, identity, and obsession.

                      ”The song really flowed out of me, most of the lyrics are stream-of-consciousness. Looking back, I was dealing with something like an identity shift. I was sick of a shallow lifestyle and shallow relationships. Looking for something more but not knowing where to find it.” - Deep Thrills

                      This is the kind of song that hits you with its unique edge and then keeps you coming back to explore the lyrical depth time and time again.”

                          “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 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. ”

                              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.”

                                “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.”
