Pell - Skyfall (feat. Ambré & Malik Ninety Five) [Music Video Review]

August 01, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“A nice blend of pop vocals and a steady stream-of-consciousness flow that mixes humor and truth to keep me hooked. The video captures the easy going vibe and this is a single to sing along with while you think about life.”

    Dalton Jackson - Lower [ Music Video Review]

    July 31, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “In this thriller of a visual Dalton Jackson sings about be at a low point while he is being murdered. The symbolism displays that you really aren’t at your low point until you are on your death bed.”

      Ceschi (Feat. Yoni Wolf)- Yoni's Electrocardiographs [Review]

      July 31, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “Powerful and entertaining ... Enlightening and evoking ... this is conscious Hip-Hop at its best!

      Words of passion, anger, heart, and drive are delivered atop a soothing melody which stands in contrast with the world we live in. And yet, there are always moments of hope and light and good. This song captures it all. ”

        Tess Posner - New Angels [Review]

        July 31, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Inspired by her firsthand experience of witnessing a murder in a broad daylight, Tess Posner’s single ‘New Angels,’ is as dark, moody, and emotionally provocative as you would imagine any art inspired by such a heinous act would be. Still there is beauty is the pain and here the melody and beat get out of the way and let the vocals do the lifting on this ethereal journey. ”

          Terez - La. La. La. [Review]

          July 30, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Music

          Rating: 3.5 out of 5

          “ Loving someone is hard. When you do and that love is loss the start of starting over not only causes fear but it causes you to not have faith in love anymore. If you have experienced this then you can relate to Terez new single La. La. La. ”
          — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

          "“La. La. La.” is pure pop magic, starting with shimmering production and echoing finger snaps. We’re introduced to Terez in the midst of heartbreak, vivid images of tear-stained pillows filling the lyrics. Terez’s voice is perfect for pop, with a killer range and the ability to really drill into the emotion on any given word. This pairs well with her songwriting, which delivers a wide range of emotions." - Gabriel Aikins (Substream Magazine)

                  Such a tough mantra to hide behind, and yet many of us have found ourselves in just such a state.

                  ’Take Away’ uses these emotions and delivers them with fluid pop vocals and a melody that adds to the pain and vulnerability.”

                            Sometimes there is a connection to another that we can’t really explain. One thin thread of attachment amid a bunch of confusion as you struggle to decide if this person is the one for you. ‘Missing Each Other’ captures these sentiments with stupendous, pop glory.”

                                “Nate dogg would be proud. This song has a west coast vibe over jamming lyrics that will sure to have you two stepping with a bottle in your hand”

                                  NEO NOIR - Taking It’s Toll (ft. Nate Kreiswirth) [Review]

                                  “Building from a quiet place, ‘Taking It’s Toll’ explodes at the chorus. The passion and emotion is real and tangible making this the kind of song best listened to with a reflective and solitary mindset so you can truly feel every word.”

                                    Lucy Clearwater - Feel Again [Review]

                                    “Show me a glimpse of something wonderful ... so sings Lucy Clearwater in an early verse of her single ‘Feel Again.’ Taking that line to heart, Clearwater gives us far more than a glimpse of the wonderful with this slow and soft lullaby to love and longing.

                                    Beautifully sang and written the song captures that hope and yearning in perfect balance between performance and melody.”

                                      “Life is expensive and some of us may not be living our best life but we try to make the best out of what we have just for the “Thrill of It” That is the message Conro delivers in his pop influenced single that is followed with a instrumental finger snap”

                                        Mary Moore - Reaching in the Dark [Review]

                                        “What begins with haunting sweet vocals, morphs into an energetic promise to herself that resonates well with anyone who has ever taken a leap of faith.

                                        The first few verses have a decidedly singer/songwriter vibe and the latter half brings more of a pop sound, but the continuity of the song is never in question.”
