Rainie Zenith - Reasons To Hate Me [Music Video Review]

July 13, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop, Indie Rock

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This song is an example of giving zero fxcks and choosing to just be you. Rainie Zenith describes and demonstrates her interests not caring who cares. She is happy with being her true self and this visual is humorous yet positive. It lets the world know that it doesn’t matter what others think, you can’t satisfy everyone. We are all different.”

    Ricci Bamboo - Papa [Music Video Review]

    July 04, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “Ricci Bamboo “Papa” is appreciating the person who keeps your mind at ease. The visual is very artistic and shows the bond between father and son. Ricci’s cross cultural background is defiantly displayed in this single from the beat to the delivery overall.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “I like the snapping of the fingers over the melody. Hard Lights, ECHŌWALL, Jaimes latest single “Stereotype Of A Broken Mind” is about holding on but then questioning yourself and realizing all the reasons you are holding on to something. Sometimes we blame people or use different outlets to escape but the truth is our mind can be broken. ”

            Roses & Revolutions - Something Real [Review]

            June 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Adult Contemporary

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “We all want to feel and experience something real. This track was specifically written during quarantine by artists missing the energy and emotion of live shows after being relegated to playing for faceless audiences over the computer, the lyrical content has a universal message we can all relate to and appreciate.

            This is a songwriter’s ballad, a heartfelt pouring out of emotion that truly transcends gerne and simply is a meaningful and magical song, timeless in sound and appeal. ”

                “I had mixed reviews with this one but was soon pulled in by the smooth beat. Schmitty’s latest single “Best Friends” is about going through life ups and downs and elevating with your best friend. No matter what is going on nothing truly matters if your best friend isn’t there. You can feel the emotional connection through the lyrics that cause you to elevate as well.”

                  “Written and inspired over Zoom calls amid the pandemic this track is about that instant connection and falling in love fast. Sometimes the spark is too bright to ignore and this track does a great job of capturing that in a diary kind of candid openness that feels natural and true. Just like the way it feels when you know without a doubt how you feel about someone else. ”

                    Forest Blakk - Give You Love [Review]

                    “‘When you fall for someone you choose the good days along with the bad days. You invite all their crazy and amazing parts alike. With that, you give all the love you got in return. That’s what ‘Give You Love’ is all about. It’s accepting the people you love for all they are and loving them for it!’ – FOREST BLAKK

                    Sometimes as a reviewer it is best to get out of the way and let the artist tell you what the track is about. That said, this track is one that is intricately written and the emotion comes out even more with each and every listen. A song that paints a picture along with am emotional portrait of a love and relationship. ”

                        “Paddy James delivers a heartfelt track with both emotion and charm. The tender build highlights the journey from heartbroken teen to adult capable of understanding love because of a plethora of experiences and paths over the years. A singer/songwriter vibe with an intriguing vocal accent and smooth musical build. Think U2 meets John Mayer.”

                          “Hip Hop and Folk are not easily combined, but ‘Highways’ from Jessamyn Day certainly delivers elements of both genres. Leaning closer to Folk early on, the track settles into more of a Rock style reminiscent of Red Hot Chili Peppers deeper in. I was impressed by the ability of the arrangement to take subtle, yet varying turns and never feel like it was trying to do too much. A track that is finely crafted, and delivered with passionate talent.”

                            “A long time fan of the Laurel Canyon sound, lodet drops a new track, ‘Smile,’ which delivers a bit of that sound, as well as a bit of Dylan, and a splash of Lennon to complete a nuanced and energetic ode the past. All without sacrificing contemporary relevancy. lodet’s Swedish home is a long way, both in time and distance from the height of the Laurel Canyon scene, but this track bridges the gap with ease and talent and is a nice modern spin of that sound. ”

                              “Zoe Zobrist has the perfect voice for a track like this. Soft and slow in the build and tone, ‘Better’ is a song of regret and heartache. A song of what should have been amid self reflection and a simmering anger that threatens below the surface. The writing is strong, though it is the performance that truly hits the emotional aspects, and makes you feel every word.”

                                “The emotional build and delivery reminded me of Jason Isbell a great deal. You could call this a day in the life of a touring musician, but the emotional relevance certainly goes wider than that.

                                ’Minneapolis’ is a brooding story song that takes the listener for a ride while transporting them to a place and time making the track deeply feelable. The day is tangible in the mind and in the heart as you feel every word and turn of the finely crafted melody.

                                And if Noah Reid looks familiar to you that is because he starred in Schitt’s Creek as Patrick. And if you haven’t watched the beloved sitcom you should fix that soon after you take a dive into Reid’s talented musical offerings. ”

                                  “Take a moment to relax and allow the beat to let your mind find peace. You will find you self in a musical yet motivating space with Damon K Clark in his latest single “Holy”. The poetic delivery supported by an amazing chorus will really speak to your soul.”

                                    “Jon Vinyl’s second release of the year “Favours” has a smooth intro. The song is dedicated to not being obligated to give something. Regardless if time is added people offer to give Favours even when they are on the clock. Jon’s vocals are lifting and will have you wanting more. ”

                                      “People sometimes go out to escape their emotions. Jamie Miller’s new single “Last Call” is about going out enjoying yourself but remembering who to go home to, who to call when you need a ride home, and who is your first call. The visual is fun and energetic while capturing different images of people.”
