DVTCH NORRIS - Save Us (ft. Rori) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“So many songs lyrics are filled with bluster and bravado, and far too often, the entire things feels like contrived bullshit.

’Save Us’ is full of confidence as well, and yet the single takes an entirely different approach to get there. From a beautiful pleading chorus sand by Rori, to the hard edged flow of Dvtch Norris, this one feels real and raw and openly breaks down the fears and insecurities without hiding behind the all-too-common false narrative of ... I’m a bad ass.

A real bad ass is willing to show us the dark places as well as the joy, the hopes and the confidence. This single does that very well.”

Sterling & The Taste - Warm Body [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Smooth vocals and a silky melody lifts the single ‘Warm Body’ to that sweet spot that will have you grooving along.

With a sound that feels a bit like the old Jackson 5, this track infuses the old with the new to create a great tune. ”

Chrys Thompson - "We On" [Review]

Rating: 5 out 5

“I walked around the room with this blasting then I played it a little while longer. As I got ready to switch screens I found myself still hearing “We On” playing in my head. Need less to say this is how you know a song rides and Chrys has that with his debut single. ”

Wilder Woods - Supply & Demand [Music Video Review]

“Woods voice carries a unique timbre that holds you tight to the lyrics, and while I have never thought of the term ‘Supply and Demand’ as an emotional trio of words, Woods’ talent makes them so. I felt and believed every word.”

Mike Stocksdale - The Only One [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Love carries the power to make us all do things we might not otherwise.

Mike Stocksdale has captured that power in ‘The Only One’ and in doing so, gives us a straight-up rock song timeless in both the message and delivery. He isn’t reinventing the wheel here, but he is masterfully reminding us of the emotions that lurk inside us all.”

Philippa - before goodbye [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Honest and raw. Philippa gives us not an anti love song, but rather a song about the yearning sadness that seeing and hearing others in love can bring on after a heartbreak.

’Before Goodbye’ is a beautifully performed testament to the lasting power love gone bad has over us all at times.”

Dinley Jones - Fire [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Call it commercial fun.

Call it Funk Pop.

Call it whatever you want want, but Dinley Jones has found ‘Fire’ with his new single. It is impossible not to move and singalong to this one, so just give in to the flames and feel the ‘Fire.’”

Daniel Simmons - Body [Review}

Rating: 4 out of 5

“‘Body’ is a well-written song about the depression and unattached feelings that can overwhelm us in these social media crazed times.

Offering punk like vocals and a pop melody this is a single that delivers far more than a fun groove and commercial sound.

It delivers truth.”

Freedom Fry - The Sun is Gonna Shine On You [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“With a sound that leans all the way back to the 70s, and lyrics that work well (despite often seeming random until the next line or two,) I found myself captivated through several listens.

There is something unique and strange and alluring here that is very hard to pin down, but ‘The Sun Is Gonna Shine On You’ is the kind of song that you can listen to over and over again and never get bored.”

Grayson Ty - Back to Us [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Riding pure pop vibes, ‘Back To Us’ modernizes an 80s sound that at times feels like vintage Michael Jackson. But while his influences are clear, Grayson Ty’s talent stands out without relying too heavily on nostalgia.

This single is all about the emotion of trying to get back to that sweet spot in a relationship once it has hit the rocks.”

Jaclyn Manfredi - Parachute [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Parachute begins with a jump straight into a vintage, bad-girl rock sound, but then the chute opens and we glide into some good old funk. The contrast is wonderful, making this a single worth floating along for.”

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Everyone has a hidden story that shows through their “Emotions” Benny Bizzie delivers nothing but quality in this new single; from his vocals to his lyrical content. I wanted to go grab my pillow and a bucket of ice cream because I got all in my “Emotions” after listening to this song. ”
