“Sometimes the greatest moments don’t last forever. Joel Blackmon is a talented singer songwriter who wants to wake up in the morning next to that special person. His new single is a summer love vibe of rolling over looking into the face of someone amazing. He longs for her to stay around even if its just until the morning.”
“Ellen Degeneres is always known to recognize stars and singer songwriter Anna Graceman is surely a star. In a dramatic yet opera setting her new singe ‘Night Follows’ is her testimony of a tragic moment when she was carjacked and held at gunpoint. This song is for survivors who still battle with those traumatizing moments. Even when the night still follows you must remember you survived it all.”

“Imagination! As an idea people might call imagination a flight of fancy best utilized by little kids. But as a principle, imagination is at the heart of everything from innovation to who we are as people.
’Believe In Me’ is a track that is as nuanced and deliberate as you imagine it to be. And the masked duo comprising The Image fall in the same category. The video here is spectacular and I encourage you to listen and watch and decide for yourself what your imagination is telling you to believe in. ”
“The melody captured my attention first ,and then the vocal tone came in with its strong emotive quality to further hook me. The lyrics are also poignant and honest and the elements are well-balanced and complimentary of each other giving this single a well rounded emotional appeal that fits the singer/songwriter genre quite well.”
“Liz Longley drops one of those highly personal tracks that feels like as much confession, or at least expression as it does entertainment. That is not to say the vocals and performance is any less entertaining because of that intimate nature. Longley raised more than $150,000 to buy the album back from her former label so it is a labor of love and passion from not only herself, but her fans and that spirit of determination shines through. ”
“Alex Gibson gives us a soaring love song that elevates energetically as it progresses. Light and airy in a classic kind of way, ‘Dance With You’ delivers that John Mayer-esque vibe that sweeps you along with its upbeat emotion and outright honest fun.
Gibson is a rising talent from Australia, though his time in London has certainly influenced his sound as well.”
“Don’t Go” is a new age pop song with a classic pop sound. Shawnee sings about a girl she has falling for and wants to explore the world with. As you listen to the song you can visualize being in a room and following someone you love from place to place in excitement.”
“You can miss a person and you can miss a person. This singl hits on both with silky smooth vocals that remind of Fleetwood Mac while bringing in a bit of Florence and The Machine to the overall sound. ‘West Hollywood’ toes that line between nostalgia and contemporary with lyrics that resonate and feel modern and a performance that is simply timeless. ”
“The battle of the mind is a tough battle. When you look in the mirror you ask yourself what is wrong or what is going on in your mind. Artist Joel Robertson’s new single ‘About the Truth’ is about conversations with yourself. He delivers the song over a dance melody but this song is far from a dance song. It is a song of discovery.”
A dark and brooding song that tells of my struggle with depression and anxiety. Often times the truth is harder to accept over a lie.
“ Singer Songwriter Kendra Kay starts off ‘Steady’ in her new single. Her new visual is country meets soul as she is on a farm singing about how crazy love can be. Despite the things that can be thrown at love good or bad., things will go back to being steady. The interchangeable sky toward the end is an example of how life changes but it can be displayed that the light of love still shines. ”
“This is a very well written song, made all the more special by the home movie clips of the video. Reconnecting with our inner child and finding the things that inspired us in our purest form is a a way to shake off the burdens adulthood straps to our backs. This song is all about that, and it comes with a joyful melody and a nice light, but emotionally engaging vocal performance.”
“Inspired by his time in Venice Beach California, the Netherland’s Goldkimono delivers a sound that hints at Red Hot Chili Peppers with an island pop style, and a crunch of a Dutch stroopwafel.
Known for writing the iconic Kygo - Firestone, Goldkimono describes his sound a lot like his clothing style, ‘Take a handful of sunshine and throw it into a boardwalk thrift shop, walk out with some comfy colorful pants and a Levi’s Sherpa jacket and don’t turn back.’
‘To Tomorrow’ brings the carefree spirit of youth with little regard to what happened yesterday, because you believe in the present and tomorrow so damn much.”
“There is no day quite as lonely as a Sunday. Something about the end of the weekend, and a the quiet stillness inherent in the day begets reflection and induces that Sunday Sadness.
Caity Krone taps into that with ‘Thank You for the Sunday Paper,’ a true songwriters lament of love gone away. The slow melodic build fits perfect with the emotion of the lyrics, and her performance brings it all home by making you truly feel this song in every word and note. ”
“Tim Chou is a seventeen year old songwriter out of Melbourne with the talent to write emotionally laden lyrics that show a maturation beyond his years. This guitar driven track delivers an honest take on the relationship dynamic of one partner fighting on while the other gives up easily. ”
“Recent times have us all wanting to feel — ‘Better,’ and RUNN’s vocal performance on this well-written song certainly helps us feel like we are not alone in these thoughts.
The soaring vocals deliver the emotions behind being fearful and anxious, and yet the track also brings a notable tinge of hope in the performance. The single has a borderline Pop/Singer Songwriter sound that is both entertaining and stimulating.
Solid!”
“The cost of chasing your dreams can exact a toll on the psyche and Dave Farah delivers the emotional tax that leaving behind your friends and family levees upon your mind in “Lone Rider.”
With a rising ballad type of feel, this is a track that is easy to connect to and feel to your core, even if you have never struck out alone to conquer the world.”
“Love and lust are tricky things, and if you are not careful, the chase is what you come to crave more than the actual act of being with someone.
Lenkie is a 17 year old South African artist living in New York City, and here she gives us track that feels wise beyond her years. Dark and brooding and intuitive, the mood feels as dangerous as the girl mentioned in “Trouble.””
“Chavis Chance is a songwriter from Texas now living in Spain. This particular track he co-wrote remotely with his father who has a Rock and Roll pedigree of his own. I suppose you could label this track as Pop, but for me it is the kind of emotional song that feels like a gentle rain landing on the soul. The emotion drips down and soothes the mind letting you lose track of all else for a few minutes as you simply enjoy the moment. ”
“Mourning is accepted when it comes to those who have passed on, but it often seems like we as society tell people to get over it and move on when they are mourning anything else but the dead.
With ‘Mourn The Living,’ Sarah Barrios gives is a heart-wrenching Pop ballad to the loss of relationships, friends, and even times gone by. The vocals deliver the sense of loss with a tender almost ragged emotion that hits hard.”
“Anna Graceman caught the eyes and ears of Ellen and America’s Got Talent at an early age, and she has only grown and matured as an artist since those appearances.
’Night Follows’ is a soaring ballad with rich vocal textures and tangible emotion. There is a big bold feel to this track that captivates and keeps you invested throughout, even as the track drops into its quieter moments.”
