Krystle Dos Santos - Buried Alive [Review]

January 19, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Contemporary R&B

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Bluesy and soulful, Krystle Dos Santos lays down a heartfelt track highlighting the emotions of trying to escape an abusive relationship. The song has a theatrical feel, building as the tension escalates.

The storytelling behind the song is purposeful and carries the worthwhile intent of bringing a dark problem out into the open. This is an entertaining track, but the message is just as worthwhile. Domestic Abuse is not a problem to look away from so perhaps this track will help someone in need. ”

    Casey Sana - Madelaine's Secret [Review]

    January 17, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “I have come to the conclusion that I really like this . I love the cadence of the melody as he tells ‘Madelaine’s Secret’. He describes how she walks , her spirited mind and interaction with others. Its like she is mysterious but you can also tell so much about her how she lights up the room or even by what she wears. Its also like the melody is her walking because it aligns with the verses.”

      Running Lights - Next Year (Acoustic) [Review]

      January 15, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “The end of the years tends to bring out reflections in all of us ... where we are, as opposed to where we hoped we’d find ourselves. The New Year then turns those feeling into resolutions and goals.

      This track captures the emotions of all of that in a few minutes and entertains us with a calm melody and emotional performance as it does so. There is a sort of a Pop/Coffee house vibe to the track making it not truly fit in any genre. But good music is good music, and it rarely needs a definition.”

        LILYAN. - HAUNTED [Review]

        January 10, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “The writing here cuts like a knife, and the resulting wound feels raw, fresh, and wonderful because the emotional truth is palpable. And sometimes a good emotional blood letting is needed for a full recovery.

        The eighteen year old LILYAN. is talented for any age, but the songwriting is not her only asset as the vocal performance is alive and passionate as well. In this case, the vocal tone unfurls the words with precision and variance making it hard to escape the hold this track puts on you. ”

          HeartMouth - Be Alright [Review]

          January 03, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial, Alternative

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “An emotionally charged ode to finding the possibilities in the very face of difficult times.

          Our outlooks can carry us in the same way as a nice melody and beat can carry a song with darker lyrics to a lighter place.

          This song echoes life by highlighting the choices we make, and accentuating the fact that quite often it’s not over until we decide that it is. There is a folk rock (Mumford & Sons) feeling to this track that serves it well.”

            Michael G Moore - Fall To Sleep [Review]

            December 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Singer/Songwriter

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “At first listen, Michael G Moore’s latest single ‘Fall To Sleep’ comes across as half classic Rock ballad and half adult lullaby, but with subsequent spins, the track feels like so much more.

            Written with the approaching birth of his daughter in mind, the track encompasses those emotions as well as the broader thoughts on the state of the world that often hits new parents as they prepare for not only their future, but far beyond. ”

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

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “An interesting track that brings a mysterious ethereal aura to the singer/songwriter vibe. The two voices bend and intertwine to extrapolate the emotions of the lyrics quite well. This is the kind of track that you can listen to dozens of times and still unearth subtle nuances you previously missed.

              The lyric video that accompanies the track is simple yet captivating and it is easy to get lost digesting these lyrics.”

                “Flipsyde might not have registered on your radar in a while, but this new single “Imagine Peace” is engaging and entertaining and proves the group still has wait it takes to hook you with a nice blend of voices and talents.

                If you are unfamiliar with Flipsyde, you should catch up on their blacklist right after you give this track a listen.”

                            “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. ”

                                  “Anna Sofia posses that Girl-Next-Door kind of charm in both her vocals and demeanor with this fun video about having ‘No Fun.” The subtle vocal rifts deliver punch here in this ode to being drug out against your will, by well-meaning friends. ”

                                    “The duality works very well on this track. The blend of voices brings an emotional thread to a well-written song about being stuck in the rut. This is two songwriters delivering their well-honed craft with precision and feeling.”

                                      “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. ”

                                        “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, ”
