“That beat though …
This track is about musical euphoria. Perfectly capturing emotion and laying it down in studio.
Call it a modern Zippity-Doo-Dah where the sun is shining warm and gentle on your face, and the birds are whistling to the exact song playing in your heart. ”
“A father’s heartbreak is rarely examined to this depth, but there are many father’s out there who are not as big a part of their kid’s lives as they’d like.
This is a quiet folksy song about a man owning up to his past mistakes and trying to find a way forward. Honest and heartfelt the single takes you on a riveting emotional journey.”

With the flair of a modern Paul Simon, Owen Danoff offers a single here that sneaks up on you and surprises with its genuine emotion.”
“Kate Vogel has one of those rare voices that can make you truly feel the emotion of the lyrics without relying on vocal tricks. Raw and natural her performance on ‘The Grave’ details the grief of an unexpected loss in haunting beauty. Call it Singer/Songwriter, Americana or simply Commercial music if you will but labels are unimportant when an artist can draw you in and immerse you in the feelings this well. ”

There is a reoccurring shift in the melody that originally threatened to shake me out of the groove, but after a number of listens, I found myself enjoying the change in sound more and more.”
“A sultry and sensuous video accompanies a matching set of lyrics. Performance-wise Jessta James, captures the lust and desire here with a slow Pop groove that hints at Latin influences.”

Get on board early with this talented artist.”
“Sultry and forbidden, Yonee drops a smooth flow detailing the ‘Bad’ things he wants to do with the one he desires. Lyrically this one sets a mood and transports you to a emotional place and time.”
“This track is quiet, and yet the power of the vocals rings loud with power. The emotion is enhanced by both the simple piano melody, and common sense lyrics written with an uncommon talent. ”

This song carries the vibe of the internal voice whispering inside your head not to call that person at 3 AM. That person you know you shouldn’t be alone with.
Dreamy and sleepy, but full of emotional danger, ‘I Can’t Be Alone With You’ is a triumph for singer/songwriter Brooklyn Doran. ”
“NevilleSounds began writing this song to better understand the emotions of a friend diagnosed with cancer, but the theme expanded from there to the plight of many.
The track is heavy in a rock ballad kind of way and 100% of the download proceeds go to the charity Rethink Mental Illness ... so check it out because the world needs more empathy all the way around.”

Calm and well-written, this is a song to sit back and listen to as you reflect on another year passing while giving thanks for ‘The Ones You Love.’”

That early emotion is threaded throughout, but the overall vibe is positive and full of hope. The video adds an element of fun with its entertaining ideas.”
