Kate Vogel is such an artist, and with every submission I’ve heard from her repertoire, my appreciation for her talent grows. ”
“This is a well-written song, but what makes it shine is the vocal performance. There are glossier, more powerful voices than Miles Horn, but you will be hard-pressed to ever hear a song where the artist clearly believes the words they are singing more than Horn obviously does on ‘Floating In Space.’
It is that personal engagement that makes this track comes alive, and it is is that personal involvement that makes me feel just as invested in the track. ”
“Kensington Moore serves up a piping hot dish with her single ‘Karma.’

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

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. ”

’Reasons To Stay’ is the inner dialogue of a person struggling to find their motivation when times get tough.”

“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.”
“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.”
