Kerr Mercer - Terrified [Music Review]

March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Adult Contemporary
“Kerr Mercer is a newcomer to keep your eyes and ears on. ‘Terrified’ is a big soaring Al Pop track about the fear of simply not being enough for the one you love. The vocals soar at times and delve into a vulnerability that makes you truly feel the fears and insecurities we’ve all experienced at one time or another.”

    Anais Campbell - Small Things Everyday [Music Review]

    March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Americana
    “A stripped down Alt Pop track with Americana vibes is what you can expect from Anais Campbell’s track, ‘Small Things Everyday.’ The Australian songstress leans into tender emotion with a soft but powerful vocal delivery and writing that should appeal to the emotions of any dreamer.”

      Ryann Ross - Blubird [Music Video Review]

      March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
      “Like a modern Carly Simon, rising songstress, Ryann Ross unleashes a quietly powerful track that will stick to your bones long after the last note. ‘Blubird’ is a stripped down emotional experience you can feel as much as hear. and the video does a great job of giving visuals to intensify the emotions of the songwriting.”

        Jasmine Power - LEAP [Music Video Review]

        February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, Pop
        “Welsh singer, Jasmine Power is ready to take a huge ‘LEAP,’ to stardom with this uplifting track. The song has some 90s Pop sensibilities but does not feel dated and the song certainly fits nicely in today’s musical landscape. The vocals soar when appropriate and feel more vulnerable and tender when the emotions dictate. A finely written and performed track that will stand the test of time as only true great songs can.”

          Mary Middlefield -Wake Up [Music Video Review]

          February 01, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Pop
          “The “Wake Up” music video beautifully enhances the song’s emotional core with striking visuals and thoughtful storytelling. Cinematic scenes and creative imagery mirror the track’s themes of awakening and self‑discovery, drawing the viewer into Mary Middlefield’s journey.”

            February 01, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Pop
            “ArieS delivers smooth vocals over upbeat production, blending playful lyrics with a fun, carefree vibe. It’s a feel‑good track that’s perfect for nights out or late‑night drives.”

              Jordi Time - Zones [Review]

              February 01, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Pop, Adult Contemporary
              “Time Zones” by Jordi is a mellow, introspective track that blends smooth vocals with atmospheric production. The lyrics explore emotional distance and longing, making it feel personal and relatable. It’s a reflective, soothing song that lingers in the listener’s mind.”

                Avery Cochrane - Griever [Music Review]

                January 20, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                “We all long to go scorched earth on those who have done us wrong, but the opportunity to do so doesn’t always come, or when it does we are in shock and don’t think of what we should have said until later.

                ’Griever’ from Avery Cochrane is an Alt Pop track about this very thing, about facing down those who did you wrong and triumphantly having your say.”

                  January 20, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Reggae, Alternative, Pop
                  “The Irie and Bad fish are here to remind you to keep grinding. ‘WAY UP’ is an uplifting vibe with a Reggae meet Alt Pop kind of sound. The track is meant to to remind you no mater what kind of hard times you are facing they won’t linger forever and what goes down must come up.”

                    Tyler Shamy - Potential [Music Review]

                    January 09, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                    “Tyler Shamy is a prolific songwriter with countless countless songs he’s written heard in movies and television. He’s also written global hits for other artists, and now he’s poised to be a breakout artist himself. ‘Potential’ is a song we can all relate to. A track about falling for who a person could be rather than who they are, delivered with heart and integrity, the song simply delivers a universal truth you can absolutely feel.”

                      Slander x William Black - Back To U (Acoustic) [Music Review]

                      January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, EDM, Dance, Pop
                      “Slander is joined by William Beck on this track of tender vulnerability. ‘Back To U’ is a song about putting yourself out there even though doing so leaves you susceptible to heartbreak. The track is a reminder than the onlyw ay to truly live is to leave yourself exposed to the potential for pain. The writing is perfect and the performance emotions the vulnerability in a tangible way that makes you feel every note of this one.”

                          “Yeshi puts an atmospheric stamp on the new year with her single, ‘Starlight.’ Created during a transformative trip to Los Angeles, Yeshi wrote, produced and recorded the vocals on her 25th birthday. Blending dreamy Pop with melodic Rap vocals the song is meant to reflect the feeling of stepping into a new chapter with confidence and clarity.”

                            “Fans named this single after Alt Pop songwriter, Savanna Leigh played the song and said its called ... well, nothing yet. The track gained attention from those live shows and fans started referring it it as ‘nothing yet’ and the name stuck.

                            The track is a heartfelt look at a relationship you know will never work int he end and yet you plunge in anyway to pas time until you do find the right fit.”

                              “This Comedic Punk track starts out sounding a bit like the Phineas and Ferb theme song and it is delivered a bit tongue in cheek. That said the social commentary is very real and on point. Fox Robinson has fun but still manages to say something and if that isn’t Punk I don’t know what is.”

                                “This sultry Pop track is all about rekindling that spark. Terra Ranae is ‘Wild Again’ about reinvigorating that early relationship thrill by doing whatever it takes to make the bedroom sizzle like the first time. Lust and love are not always the best of bedfellows and this song aims to change that in the sultriest of ways.”

                                  Ava Della Pietra - You Make It Christmas [Music Review]

                                  December 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Holiday, Singer/Songwriter, Pop, Folk
                                  “Ava Della Pietra achieves what is truly difficult on this Holiday track, which is to give us a song that feels like Christmas without coming across as derivative of the many classics we hear over and over again. ‘You Make It Christmas’ is an a nostalgic track that takes you back in time with acoustic charm and talent.”

                                    Bino Bames - I'm Sorry [Music Video Review]

                                    October 23, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                                    “Bino Barnes offers an emotional apology of sorts with his track , ‘I’m Sorry.’ The honesty is infused into every word and along with the I’m Sorry refrain there is a wry sort of acknowledgment that things needed to change and that both parties will be better off moving forward. He manages to execute this without coming across as sardonic or bitter despite the complexity of emotions.”

                                      Lily Forte - Miles To Go [Music Review]

                                      October 22, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Adult Contemporary, Commercial, Pop, Jazz
                                      “Lily Forte comes with a bit of a throwback sound. A dash of Amy Winehouse and a splash of ZZ Ward can be heard but Forte certainly puts her own flair and talent into this track. ‘Miles To Go’ is a sultry liberation anthem that wraps around you like a silk scarf to pull you in close enough to feel warm breath on your neck.”

                                        Alex Ray - MESSY [Music Review]

                                        October 22, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                                        “We are happy to present, ‘MESSY’ the lead single from Alex Ray’s debut EP. Ray is a Nashville based Alt Pop star in the making and this track about the chaos of of staring at yourself in the mirror and coming to grips with who and what we are.

                                        The hard charged energy is undeniable and the vocal power is expressed in a variety of ways to truly showcase Ray’s talent on multiple fronts.”
