“Jenny Kern dials up the mood of solitude on her new track, ‘Coming Back For Me.’ The writing and vocal performance combine to capture the vibe of what I’d describe as lonely determination.
The realization that we are each responsible for our own emptions ... be it happiness, anger, pain or any other, is a tough one to grasp, but knowing how to be okay completely within yourself is a worthwhile pursuit for us all .”
“David Redd strikes a nice balance between the emotional strength of a singer/songwriter vibe, and the raw power a Rock song hellbent to deliver its message.
There is a hint of Coldplay early on that falls into more of a rootsy refrain deeper in. The video offers a very unique perspective on the tracks of our lives as we dream, succeed, fail, and ultimately wind up with a different life than perhaps we ever imagined. Finding peace and happiness with this unplanned trajectory is important for us all, and and a song like this helps us get there. ”
“Charlotte Cardin delivers a modern sound that does at times feel like it owes a debt to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, but Cardin delivers an extra bit of seductive vulnerability to a set of lyrics that is more about taking a dangerous leap than it is about waiting and hoping.
From the artist ... ‘’Daddy’ is a song about kissing your crush right by the open bar,’ muses Cardin. ‘Your crush’s other crush, standing by the shrimp buffet, sees it all. Your crush can’t choose between their two crushes, so you jump right in and choose for them. ‘Daddy’ is a song about knowingly making a bad decision and loving it.’”
“Betrayal of any kind is a tough thing to take without suffering emotional scars. Estella Dawn takes those emotions on in ‘Petty,’ a track about coming to the realization that the person you have been there to support of lift up, is not nearly as committed to doing the same for you in your time of need.
Dawn captures the feelings well and delivers an engaging set of vocals to go with a well-written track that speaks to the power of friendship and betrayal. ”
“Tommy Alexander delivers the kind of lines that sound simple to the ears, but are oh so hard to actually condense and articulate in digestible way. Wryly perceptive, and smart, yet common enough for the message to land for any listener who truly pays attention, ‘River Run Down’ has enough grit and energy to hold you without overwhelming the emotions. ”
“Joshua Radin has given the world a lot of music, and a lot to think about over 16 albums and hundreds of live shows, so it comes as no surprise that his latest single, ‘Better Life’ brings a powerful message as well. The plight of those seeking refuge, hope, and yes a better life here in the United States has been exploited by both sides of the political spectrum, and frankly it is sad given that this country was founded on the ideals of give us your tired, your poor. This is Indie Folk with a heart and I dig it. ”
“D’Rock delivers his new intensifying single “Don’t Wanna Talk”. The visual for this hot Spanglish R&B song focuses on a man who comes home just to find his girl cheating with another girl. In the midst of the hurt he sits and reflects because there isn’t no going back from the image of her and her. His interchangeable vocals from English to Spanish makes this song sexy despite the disloyalty. ”
“The on again, off again of a dying relationship is an emotional tweeter totter chocked full of ups and downs. This single from townsend, captures those cycles with a soft vulnerably that keeps you leaning in and invested in the arc of the single.
There is a Pop vibe to this Acoustic driven track that lends it a Commercial sound despite the singer/songwriter structure.”
“NAKED KOALA strikes the perfect balance between emotional singer/songwriter vibes and the energetic feel of a Commercial Pop song with their latest offering, ‘Drifted Apart.’
Most of us have seen friendships and relationship vanish over time so the feelings of this track are certainly familiar and the talent shines as the track also utilizes the talents of Mathew Schuler known to many from his time on The Voice.”
“Dear Listener, Supporter and Friend,
I created this project to share my emotions, thoughts, and feelings with the world that I have been holding in for a while. I’m not holding back anymore and I am not scared of what anyone says or critics. This project is the culmination of all of my experiences and the best version of my musical self. The only thing important to me about this project is to make songs that are open and honest while drawing on the range of my experiences, from loss to love, failure to success, pain to bliss, bored to motivated, sad to hopeful, and lost to found. I hope my exploration and expression of the human condition through my music allows you to be delighted, entranced or take away the pain that you might be in even if its only for 30 seconds. I hope you too stay hopeful and positive through all of life’s unexpected challenges. I cannot thank you enough for listening to my music and your support. <3

Every scar has a story. However, they will fade just like yesterday. Charles Dark delivers us a lonely yet emotional song,’Scars’ . The melody is captured with the beat of a drum as he talks about finding his way. Whether you are physically or emotionally scared you can still heal.”
“Lola Lennox drops this energetic track on us that feels a bit like a Holiday song in spirit even though the lyrics are not specific to any time of the year. The vocals reminded me of a mix of Amy Winehouse and Adele though this single certainly feels more Pop oriented than those artists tend to sound.
All in all, a fun track that gathers you in and carries your forward with a smile on your face.”
“Singer/Songwriter is an artist that takes his time to relay every emotion in his music. In his new single ‘Forever’ he sings about waiting for someone even if it ends up being forever. The single reminds you of the movie ‘The Notebook’, no matter where you are or how long it takes love find its way.”
“Written like a melancholy letter home, ‘Drunk On December’ is a songwriters’ ode to feeling down and blue while stressing over the anxiety that they have not fulfilled the expectations of others they care about. The Ella Sisters deliver vulnerable emotions that hold you tight in a relatable way that speaks to all of our insecurities and fears.”
“If you like the series ‘Stranger Things’ you will be intrigued by this song. Foster House, Weerd Science & John, The Astronaut join together for an out of this world single ‘Strange Things’. The beginning comes in smooth and suspenseful. The second voice has a deep yet Hip-Hop flow. As the visual shows the group going around on a mysterious hunt. ”
“Nazanin has been developing her talent for the pass 1.5 years and it shows in her breathtaking single ‘Infatuation’. The sing/song writer infuses R&B accompanied by an upbeat Jazz sound. She sings with emotions as she talks about relationships. She is confident with her heart and determined to have what she wants.”

“Daniel Trakell’s emotive vocals highlight this track, though the production and melody add another emotional layer to the track giving the single a nice rich texture to the layered sound.
’So Long’ hot like a track you already know giving it that instant kind of connection that the best songs tend to leave you with. ”
“Jon Richie brings a unique perspective as an active duty member of the United States Army. In this honest track which unfurls like a letter home, Richie gives us a perspective rarely found. Coming to grips with his deployment, he unloads the emotions and and thoughts in this stripped down track that is as honest as music gets. ”
“This track is a personal one for James Fox, and that passion certainly shines through in the vocal performance. Written about growing up in the Welsh Valleys, the emotions of nostalgia and days gone by are clear though the track is not so specific that it doesn’t have a broader appeal. With a dash of Coldplay and Bryan Adams to the style, this track sweeps you in in its big bold grandeur. ”
“Some songs win you over simply by feeling real and genuine. Dawson Gamble’s latest, ‘What You Don’t Know’ is one of them.
Starting out soft and vulnerable, the well-written lyrics hook you with their authenticity before the track insiifies and layers in a bit more of a Rock/Pop sound to go with the early singer/songwriter vibe. Though in truth, genre is less important than the erstwhile emotions on a track like this.”
“Sam Winston engages the listener with a soft and vulnerable vocal refrain, that belies the emotional impact of the song’s title. ‘Damaged Goods’ is a stripped down kind of track, that lets the emotion of the writing and performance do the heavy lifting.
We all have our doubts of worthiness and misgivings that we we are worthy, and at times, that leads to self-sabotage so listening to tracks like this helps us realize we are not alone in these thoughts and we truly are as worthy as any other person. ”
