Sydney Ranee' - Drink With You [Review]

August 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Soul, Funk

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Funky fun soul misic!

’Drink With You’ delivers a gospel of emotion about that one person you can’t really be alone with, much less start sipping those drinks. Because if you allow it to happen ... clothes will hit the floor, and skin will collided.”

    Ryan Caraveo - Run [Review]

    August 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A steady pace, delivered on the slower side was the perfect choice to unleash this set of lyrics about being on the ‘Run.’ The irony compliments the words on one level, but also helps emphasizes the subtle point that sometimes running becomes a lifelong thing you can’t quite escape.”

      Marc Haize - Mango Lime [Review]

      August 26, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “I was pulled in by the straight forward, honest feel to these lyrics. I also appreciated the rawness of single and the fact the production did not opt for autotune embellishments and other tricks, but got out of the way and let the emotions shine through.”

        GRAACE - 21st Century Love [Review]

        August 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “GRAACE has the kind of voice that both pierces and unarms and ‘21st Century Love’ utilizes this tone to showcase the emotion of being stuck in your head.

        Lyrically it is not a complex song, but the nuance of the performance and a steady beat make the single an engaging listen.”

          Ryan Cassata - Bamboo Plants [Music Video Review]

          August 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Indie Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “There is a genuine, songwriter vibe on this one. Billed as a true LGBT love story, this song really transcends beyond any limitations on who this song speaks to. It is simply an honest and true love story for humanity with slice of life lyrics delivered over a guitar melody. There is no added fanfare because the emotion is simply enough in this case.”

            Halia Jack - Threw it Away [Music Video Review]

            “This one hit me like a throwback from the 80s. Halia Jack has a unique tone that pulled me in deeper with each verse. This single brings a defiant edge that makes it resonate loudly for those emerging on the other side of a relationship full of anger and jaded reproach. ”

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “An intriguing array of voices and a simple but infectious melody hooked me here, before I fully understood the concept of the lyrics. But hey, who hasn’t wanted to see the one they just broke up with carted off to jail, so that side of this track is pretty dope as well.

              It is not easy to drop a pop song these days that truly feels unique, but this one hit me that way. There are so many different musical influences at work here that it is a tough single to truly categorize, but the commercial appeal is obvious. Through multiple listens my interest never waned.”

                Dearly Beloved - Race To The Bottom [Music Video Review]

                August 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock

                Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                “This single caught me by surprise. The varying vocals hooked me early, and the retro rock sound is perfect for the blend of voices. Production wise this one left the vocals a bit more muffled than I would have preferred which probably hurt my overall emotional attachment, but I am quite intrigued by the obvious talent and look forward to hearing more from this band.”

                  “The comparisons to Shakira are unmistakable, but Keeana Kee brings her own sultry vibe as well, and ‘Let’s make Love’ hits the ears like an illicit rendezvous.

                  Sexy and intriguing, this song pulls you in and makes you forget the outside world for a little while.”

                      “The vocals contain this ragged edge that immediately grabs your attention before the chorus delves into a bit of funk. Both of which adds a level of intrigue to a guitar melody and set of lyrics that resonate by showcasing the drudgery we all face.

                      Rock on, Coqui. Rock on.”

                                “With vocals that reminded of Elton John at times, Norman Kim unleashes a debut that demands we all pay attention.

                                Both the video and the lyrics of ‘Nothing Wring With My Life’ feel like fun and I can’t help but think I am watching to arrival of a brand new star. Not on the far off horizon, in the here and now.”

                                  “Nostalgia and heartache go together like David Bowie and eyeliner, so missing your lover and your favorite artists is a creative way to bring those emotions forward. Pop vocals added to a nice beat and melody help bring out the longing in this worthy single from chloe mk.”

                                    “A surprising array of instrumental sounds delivers a nice beat and mesmerizing drop.

                                    ’Falling’ feels like an instant EDM classic.”

                                      “Haunting and alluring, this ode to the magic of cannabis takes a smooth trip to a ethereal plane on the air of talented vocals from Lynn. ‘Weed Man’ brings a smokey indie pop vibe to the mix of marijuana inspired songs.”

                                        “A nice island type of beat and vibe back up Kiana Lede’s vocals which are close to perfection in this fun little number. ”
