Teo Pasquale - Nowadays [Review]

September 15, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“The vocal inflections early on hooked me, and the lyrics held me with a realness that is not found often enough in popular music. The beat is steady and the delivery smooth and engaging.”

    ED.1T - Lies (feat. Mia Mormino & YSD) [Review]

    September 13, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Electro Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The hurt and anger comes through in the early vocal performance and the production brings a beat that serves well in adding to those emotions. The Rap flow forms an interesting bridge, but it is the chorus that will stick with you. ”

        løenwulf - When We Fight [Review]

        September 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Clean breaks are tough with affairs of the heart ,and ‘When We Fight’ captures the despair, desperation, and guarded hope of those emotions with a pair of vocals.

        The first is sang with a beautiful vulnerability and the second is a flow delivered with more of a stoic indifference. This contrast is part of what captures the emotions of this situation so well.”

          DAX - KILLSHOT 2 [Music Video Review]

          September 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

          Rating: 5 out of 5

          “This track is meant to make you uncomfortable, because sometimes, that is the only way to shake up the neurons and make you think. The lyrics and video imagery do exactly that, but when you declare something meaningful, in a passionate way it rarely makes others comfortable and through that discomfort new ideas and thoughts are born.

          That said, this track delivers emotions, entertainment and a punch to the gut that leaves you engrossed. ”

                        The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”

                                “An alluring friendly voice is the key to this vocal performance, which feels honest and intimately familiar.

                                This one feels like a conversation with a friend and it held me close to the emotion right from the start.”

                                  “Riding a banging beat , ‘Flxn’ takes sharp, clever lyrics and blends them with a rock solid flow to bang out a single that is indeed flexing plenty of muscle. At under two minutes, my only wanton wish is for a few more verses.”

                                    “Nice and easy, this is a flow that you fall into with no effort. Like a conversation with a friend. Which is contrast to the lyrical content which focus on being misunderstood. This contrast is a great metaphor for how we often feel alone even when surrounded by others, because it is rare for people to understand how you are truly feeling on the inside.”

                                      “I was pulled in by the straight forward, honest feel to these lyrics. I also appreciated the rawness of single and the fact the production did not opt for autotune embellishments and other tricks, but got out of the way and let the emotions shine through.”

                                        “Sometimes you just gotta say it straight and direct. Poloneius Pluck is the ‘Bossman’ here as he deliver his truth, his confidence, and his mantra for the world. The reggae vibe gives a good contrast and takes this one to another level.”
