“With a sound that at times hints at Kacey Musgraves, V Blackburn delivers an emotional song of self-doubt that speaks to us all.
A heart-wrenching single that beautifully captures the emotions of wondering what true happiness is, and if it is even attainable.
’V’ is the final track off of Blackburn’s EP Public Figure which dropped June 28th.”
“Smooth, easy vibes and a clear message. Reggae at its best often comes in this form, and Chronixx delivers in classic form with this ode to a higher power.”
“I’m not sure the exact recipe for ‘Sugar Lips,’ but this sound hints a pinch of Prince and a dash of Bruno is a good place to start the mix.
Taunting vocals and a steady groove make this simple song more fun than perhaps it should be. ”
“There is some great irony that this tune, about the fantasy of escaping the world by throwing your phone out the window, carries a retro rock sound from the 80s, which is perhaps the last decade when society wasn’t fixated on their phones.
Great old school rock melody and vocals.”
“Mia Mormino’s latest single ‘WTF IS Going On’ was inspired by ‘Cell Block Tango’ from the musical, Chicago and it certainly carries that vibe ... but instead of relying on morbid amusement, this single stabs with the emotion of self-doubt.
In a relationship world dominated by social media and terms like ghosting, this one plays on how it feels to be the one guessing why.”

“In the spirit of a many other great storyteller songs, ‘L.A.’ makes us care about Elle as a character. Through great songwriting and an empathetic and stirring performance, we take a journey with Elle knowing full well there is no happy ending waiting. But we do it because life doesn’t always come with the fairy-tale ending and this single feels like life.
The melody matches the emotions perfectly throughout, and this is one of those sad songs that somehow leaves us feeling hopeful because of its ability to tap into a part of ourselves. Such music and writing helps us realize we are not alone in our thoughts, fears, and emotions. ”

“Riding a steady beat and lyrics that flow well, Chris O’Bannon drops a single rich in confidence. The promise in ‘I Promise’ is more boastful than earnest , but O’Bannon pulls the cockiness off with an unflinching delivery that works, despite perhaps a touch too much reliance on autotune, which makes the emotions harder to feel for this listener. ”
“‘Messy Love’ is anything but messy. Dreamy, sultry, and catchy are some of the words that encapsulate this single. The romance is turned all the way up with lines like “I just want to love you/ we in this/ we happy/ it’s messy...”
Songwriter Louisa Laos explains that messiness of love and how wonderful the honeymoon feeling can really be. Whether you are in love or are finding love, love is powerful and inharmony reminds us of that. ”
“Jacqui Siu hits us with a wave of melodic beats and swaying rhythms in her song “shoulda gone home.”
A good R&B song makes you want to move in a way different than any upbeat tune. You feel intune with the music and let slow things down to enjoy every moment. “Shoulda gone home” is one of those songs.
With its downtempo and seducing cadence, you really feel what Siu is trying to describe to us, a conflicted lover. Definitely worth a listen especially on those lonely nights thinking about those lovers you probably should not be thinking about. ”
“Don’t be fooled by the catchy pop melody and sugar sweet vocals ... this is a dark twisted tale of revenge motivated by a broken heart.
AND I LIKE IT!”
“At 16, Camellia Pink is savvy beyond her years in both songwriting, and the maturity of voice. The steady rhythm of the delivery adds to the emotion of the single and the words hit home. ”
“Soulful and smooth Halle Dot delivers vocals that sink in to the marrow. As the lyrics say, ‘Love is like a drug,’ and this song captures that calm euphoria of being in that time and place.”
“‘Feel Again’ balances a beautifully emotional performance with a heart rending piano melody to instill the emotion of a heart ache in the listener.
Songwriting done right for those who want to feel genuine sensations we have all experienced out of life. ”
“A touching anthem of compassion.
This single, along with the video, tells a story that goes on everyday across countless cities. Voices are heard, but sometimes it truly does take an ‘Echo’ before anyone bothers to pay attention. Beautifully performed, this is a song about humanity that everyone should hear. ”
“It has been a long while since I’ve heard a true Indie Rock song with that carefree IDGAF spirit. The kind of song that is real and true and seems to say, “Hey Man I don’t really care what you think about me, because this is my life and my feelings and my viewpoint and I’m going to sing about all of them without regard to commercial viability or radio airplay.
That is not to say Picsel does not have anything meaningful or worthwhile to say, it just means they are not pandering to conformity, and that is what Rock Music was built upon. ”
“It is damn hard to line a genre up in the sights of this one, but one thing is for certain, Zero has delivered a high caliber explosion with ‘Aim Steady.’
High octane guitar, with a sick flow accentuating lyrics with an edge. This song has it all like a musical Super Hero who doesn’t even need to pack a gun in order to be a true bad ass. ”
“The beat isn’t the only elements of this tracks hitting hard. Lyrics that delivers truth in an easy, emotional flow. The tempo varies but this well-written set of lyrics speaks to humanity no matter the pace.
’New America’ is a song to listen to over and over again as you digest the layers of what is being said.”
“Classic sultry rock vocals atop an energetic melody.
Little by little rock seems to be crawling out from the shadows once again and artists such as Zoe Zobrist are leading the way.”
