The Collection - Love at the End of the World [Music Review]

January 28, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The Collection brings a fresh new approach to the world of love songs. ‘Love at the End of the World’ is about finding love in a world that is falling apart and how we all need to keep living as best we can in the face of conflict and turmoil. The emotive vocals hooked me the writing is smart and intelligent while maintaining an emotional relevance.”

    Paul Cook & The Chronicles - Somebody Else [Music Review]

    January 22, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Memories often start benign enough but if we have regrets and pain associated those same memories can make our mind fall into chaos and anxiety. This track follows that same path with a nice gentle entry before building into a bit of ordered madness. And in doing so, the writing perfectly captures how many pf us deal with this sorts of mental trips. I was left craving more which is both good and bad I suppose.”

      Natalie Prauser - East Texas [Music Review]

      January 01, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Americana, Country

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “If you think Country Music is defined by the glossy, superficial pablum cranked out of Mainstream Nashville then you probably have no idea of the wide ranging talent that is keeping the traditional sound alive all across the country. Texas is no doubt the hub for Independent artists to not only honor the traditional sound but push it forward and Natalie Prauser is one of those genuine voices doing exactly that.

      ’East Texas’ offers a lonesome, down on your heels vibe. A classic drinking, or thinking, or simply living in reality song that resonates with heartfelt emotion.”

        Alex Marzejon - Songs About Girls [Music Review]

        December 22, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “From Jolene to Roxanne, and of course California Girls in general there are plenty of songs about feminine charm and their effect on those who know them. This track is a bit of an ode to all of them. Delivered in an emotive singer/songwriter style reminiscent of Ed Sheeran, but Alex Marzejon stand on his own talent and delivery style giving him a unique and talented voice in the musical landscape. ”

          Jake Thistle - Ghosted Road [Music Review]

          December 21, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “There is a haunting loneliness to Jake Thistle’s single, ‘Ghosted Road’ and the emotive delivery brings that element out very well. That said, the writing is every bit as strong and the entre track paints a scene and mood as well as anything I’ve heard recently. Roads and loneliness certainly are not new fodder for songwriters, but Thistle manages to put his own stamp on the sound and themes and I can’t wait to hear more from this talented artist.”

            “Nate Amor drops this ode to love and appreciation. The timeless sound and arrangement combines with finely crafted songwriting to deliver the message in perfection step with the emotional build. There are Americana tones and a soft Southern Rock feel but really this is one of those tracks that transcends gerne and simply speaks straight to the soul. ”

                Tommy Alexander - Feelings [Music Review]

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Tommy Alexander is a songwriter first and foremost, but that is not to say he doesn’t have the vocal talent and passion to deliver the words he writes. There are Springsteen and Johnny Cash vibes in the delivery and the emotion is palpable in both the words and performance. We as humans all have a myriad of complex ‘Feelings’ coursing through us, and we don’t always understand where they came from, but still we must deal with them. This track does a great job of taking that complex set of thoughts and distilling them into an entertaining and thought-provoking track. ”

                  “Current “Talk To You Soon” is giving us R&B vibes to really set the mood for his emotions after a long-term relationship. Despite the things he loved about the relationship he also love his worth more than what the relationship was giving him. This track is a soulful production with an electronic infused melody that shows how men feel when relationships have ended. ”

                        “Sam Olyott hooks the listener with an emotive and vulnerable delivery that sets the tone from the very first line. ‘On Your Own’ is fueled by heartache and anger but this isn’t the kind of petty revenge track that dominates Commercial music.

                        This is a well though out moment of ... yeah go and try to do better out there because I gave all of myself and that wasn’t good enough for a taker like yourself. The writing feels real and genuine and you can feel it all the way through.”

When in reality it’s just a stupid game where they don’t know the name but they f*ck them anyway. This by far is my favorite hook to date. ”

The song speaks on those signs but as he recaps he notices that she could just be misunderstood. Some girls just want to have fun and party while others bring drama along the way.”

                                  “Usually when you hear a viral Tik Tok song its only one particular part you like. However, the Danger Twins single Thing Of Beauty is edgy and enticing. It brings forth a feeling that makes you want to take off and do something exciting.”

                                    “One key component of Jennie’s songwriting process lies in her Synesthesia. This is a condition where senses can get jumbled and get associated with other senses. In Jennie’s case, every person she meet”
                                    — Artist notes
                                    “Upon listening I would have never have known because Jennie’ vocal tone is pure artistry. “Party for Two” brings back the classic music that you would hear in movies. ”

                                      “Kyra’s new single “ISFD” is a pop out song that allows you to have no care in the world when you realize you made a bad choice in life. She reminds herself of the mistake and recaps how she should have listened but instead made a dumb mistake.”

                                        “We all tend to have a dark period in our life. LA Based Artist Francisco Martin speaks on being self centered. Being so caught up in what is going on and not going on that you tend to take emotions out on others. Regardless if you are the problem you must find peace.”
