Kill Paris - Venus Fly Trap [Review]

May 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Trap, Music

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Nature comes with its own rhythm, and in ‘Venus Fly Trap,’ Kill Paris has tapped into that with a track complete with more changes than a cross-country bus trip.

True to the inspiration, this is a single that catches your attention time and time again.”

    GHASSAN - Keep On Dancing [Review]

    May 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “Grit, emotion, and funky dance-abilty.

    Ghassan has laid down a single that is all of the above which makes it extremely hard to classify for those who like to color between the lines.

    However, ‘Keep on Dancing’ is a magical anthem for those who like to cross the line with style. Blues, Rock, Americana, all with a sick, bass-filled dance groove. Yep, It’s all here.”

      Zaryah - Youdofuckingyou [Review]

      May 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Pop

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “It is amazing how a well-written song can emotionally sum things up, and this pop tune certainly does that.

      The title of the single does the job of setting the stage, but give these alluring vocals and wryly, smart lyrics a listen and you will be hard pressed, not to join in by the second chorus.”

        Steve James - Fall For You [Music Video Review]

        May 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Instrumentals, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Instrumentals face the uphill battle of stirring emotion without words. Steve James has done exactly that with ‘Fall For You.’

        While the title makes it clear what the song is about, it is through the melody that we feel the racing of hearts, the fear, the insecurity, and the unabashed joy that falling in love brings to us. ”

          “Elliot Lee hooks you with her haunting voice and holds you with lyrics that twist and turn ‘Upside Down’ a coupe of times.

          The drum roll, and fluid, yet ever-changing melody speak of a meticulous attention to perfection on the production side.”

                “In a testament to both great songwriting and a genuine emotional delivery, I was able to put myself in the shoes ... errr, make that prom dress, of our would-be party girl and feel every last emotion of this experience.

                This is the power of good music ... which transports us back in time, beyond our own experiences, and to emotional places of empathy and understanding. ”

                      “We packed our headphones and decided to take a trip to “Sauce The World”. “Sauce The World” started off a little watery with a few track skipping but before we knew it we were turning the volume up as the album started dripping with sauce. Chris O’Bannon raps about whatever the fuck he wants to but that is what brings so much sauce to this album.”

                        “Songwriting grabs the ring on this ride.

                        ’Carousel’ circles around a tender guitar driven melody with emotional lyrics that bring out the feelings of being in an on-again/off-again relationship, and the hope each time that this ride will be the one that breaks that pattern.”

                                  Weslynn - Strangers [Review]

                                  “Straightforward lyrics with a guitar-charged melody. The overall sound falls somewhere between Americana and Rock and Roll, but genre isn’t really important when the music is this good.

                                  ’Strangers’ is the kind of tune that you find yourself signing along with the chorus by the second time through.”

                                    “Head nodding funk with a smile.

                                    That is what this old-school treasure brings to your ears with a groove that will get you moving, and soulful vocals that are pure funk. A 70s vibe and lyrics that ring true in a modern dating world. Get down to ‘Slim Pickings.’”
