“What’s not to love about a groove-filled jam from Roots of Creation, Afroman, and Edo.G? I mean come one you can feel this one right from the start. ‘Ride Or Die Chick’ is a mantra tof stubborn love and dedication. An ode to loyalty perhaps even when it isn’t deserved.
And the easter eggs of hits gone by is a nice addition. This is talented artists having a good time and it shows.”
“Up From Here comes with a Pop Punk style of sound on their latest song, ‘Under Your Spell.’
Maybe it’s just me, but Pop Punk and summer go together like suntan lotion and the swimming pool. Two things that simply feel right in tandem. This track has plenty of talent and a nice energy to keep listeners invested in the build.”
“Seems like every summer has a S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G hit song. ‘B.IT.E Me’ is lined up to take that mantle this year. Rising Aussie star, POLLY unleashes some post break-up fury in delightful fashion on this Alt Pop reminder to never piss off a songwriter. ”
“Euphoric sadness might sound like an oxymoron but that is what this track from Kings Elliot epitomizes. ‘The Promise’ is about emerging from the ruins of a relationship with a new and better understanding of your self and what you need and want out of life as well as a partner, and in that one can indeed find euphoric sadness.”
“Sara Marie Barron wanted to create a song about navigating your mental health while dating that you could dance to. And ‘Moon’ is exactly that.

“Ava Valianti is one of those rare talents that seem to defy age. Both in her performance and writing she comes across as more savvy and wise than any fifteen year old ought to be. ‘Distant’ is a track about losing that tight bond you have with friends as you grow older. Sometimes the shift is about growing different directions and sometimes its about logistics but either way it can be tough and bewildering to let go of what once was so magical and important. Valianti captures the spirit and emotions well n this tender heartfelt song.”
“Chicago singer/songwriter Sean Skyler has been carving a place in the musical landscape while honing his craft. His latest track, ‘Follow’ You’ is a an upbeat and energetic ode to love and reckless abandon that only love can bring. A perfect feel-good summer track to put some bounce in your step and a whistle in your lips.
Or hey ... it could be a jaunty song about a stalker. Only sort of kidding but the track made me smile so I hope it does the same for you.”
“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 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. ”
“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.”

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 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.”
“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.”

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.

The video only helps sell the sentiments and emotions of this well conceived track meant to remind us all ... there’s still time.”

’Just Wanna Be’ is an anthem of self-love and respect and harkens to an old school 80s vibe without sacrificing a contemporary edge. ”
“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.”
“Pop Punk has been enjoying a resurgence and Teenage Joans out of Australia is ready to add to the wave with their new release, ‘Sweet and Low.’
The track is appropriately energetic and full of the guitar licks and strong musicianship needed to keep you moving and singing along. ”
