Beanz - Pavement [Review]

August 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Chill and chilling. That’s how I’d describe ‘Pavement.’ The flow is tranquil and calm, yet the lyrics are dirt and grit. There is nothing fancy going on here, but there doesn’t need to be. True, honest emotion, delivered with authenticity.”

        Happy Sometimes - Pooh Bear [Music Video Review]

        August 29, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Commercial

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “This pop song captures the back and forth of human emotions quite well, as we try to talk ourselves into a better place.

        Be it internal, or in this case, an external relationship that pulls us back down ... over and over again, most have us have to make the climb up and out of dark places more than once, before we can finally enjoy the view.”

          “I like this one for the truths it drops. Basically calling out people for a variety of bullshit, this is a track that reminds us all, not to take everything so serious.

          With a steady beat and a vocals that stay within themselves, this song relies on simplicity to deliver the goods.”

                  Travel With The Sun - Flaws [Review]

                  August 28, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, music

                  Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                  “In an acoustic piano melody accompanied by sentimental vocals Travel With the Sun’s new single “Flaws” reveals how no one is perfect but the first step is communication.”
                  — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

                  The powerfully relatable acoustic single “Flaws” marks Swedish band Travel With The Sun’s second release this year. Following the warm reception of “Dry Ink” in Latin America and Europe, the quartet now presents us with the naked vulnerability of an acoustic love confession that might draw associations to Muse. Evoking the conclusive feeling of a show’s end credits, “Flaws” demonstrates the band’s broad musical versatility without abandoning their characteristic filmic sound. Together with “Dry Ink”, the track will be included in the band’s upcoming album “Psycho”, to be released in November.

                    “Riding a banging beat , ‘Flxn’ takes sharp, clever lyrics and blends them with a rock solid flow to bang out a single that is indeed flexing plenty of muscle. At under two minutes, my only wanton wish is for a few more verses.”

                        “Nice and easy, this is a flow that you fall into with no effort. Like a conversation with a friend. Which is contrast to the lyrical content which focus on being misunderstood. This contrast is a great metaphor for how we often feel alone even when surrounded by others, because it is rare for people to understand how you are truly feeling on the inside.”

                                        “Intricate harmonies combined with a perfect pace and tempo make this a fun song fall into the groove.

                                        Folk Rock EDM is not a thing as of yet, but Brothers Page has a hand in all three genres here. Motivational without being cheesy ‘Back To You’ is a song that gets you moving while putting a smile in your face.”
