Lynn - Indecisive [Music Video Review]

November 27, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Lyric Video, Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This is a song about the frayed edges of a bad relationship as it finally unravels for good.

The songwriting feels real and true, and the vocals hit me as Kacey Musgraves with more emotion and less defiance. ”

    Tyler Shamy - Pills [Review]

    November 24, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial, Contemporary R&B

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “There are lots of songs about battling depression, but few if any nail the struggle as well as this track.

    ’Pills’ brings an up and down energy, an array of emotion, and an engaging narrative that feels real and entertaining without sacrificing emotion or impact. Style wise this is Commercial Pop with a hard beat and an Electro Pop melody over soulful vocal delivery, ”

      “A dark and brooding singer/songwriter ode to regret and disappointment. The vocals carry a classic Neil Young kind of vibe that makes the emotion quite tangible in this track. ”

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “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.”

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “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. ”

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Delivering a unique vocal tone, Keenan Willard unleashes emotions most of us have had after a tough break up.

                There are elements of pop, coffeehouse songwriter and even a hint of EDM sensibilities to the melody on this track, and the fusion makes for a unique and interesting blend.”

                  “Tender and Vulnerable, Kate Vogel’s songwriting is as emotional as her vocal performance.

                      “The unique sound hits you first, and given the fact Sidhant Seth is a unique talent with a variety of vocal skills and talents, that is to be expected.

                      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.”

                                “Soft melancholy never sounded so good.

                                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.”

                                    “The world needs more original Christmas songs and Daniel Blake delivers here with a nice singer’songwriter coffeehouse vibe.

                                    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.’”

                                      “Perfectly capturing the singer/songwriter sound, Chris Ayer delivers ‘Selfish,’ an ode to self realization and longing for a different way.

                                      The song feels real and true in its earnest revelation that we tend to be our own worse enemies at times. ”

                                        “This track starts with heartfelt set of emotional lyrics, before transforming into a pop-infused and energetic feel good number.

                                        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.”
