Mentum - You The One [Review]

September 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Neo-Soul

Rating: 4 out of 5

“With a lot of soul, and a dash of pop fusion, Mentum delivers ‘You The One,’ a single that in the old days would be dedicated on radio shows and included on homemade mix tapes for the one you love. Now I suppose it will be added to playlists and played in the shadow of night as lovers collide.

In other words, this is a smooth love song that hits the right notes musically and emotionally.”

    Cherokee Death Cats - Do to Me [Review]

    September 06, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “These cats are slinking along that line between true punk, and rock and roll. And These cats do it very well.

    Sultry vocals and intriguing lyrics, along with a European vibe, morph together into an evocative single worth your time and ears.”

      “A smooth, soft flow unfurls lyrics that that are coiled tight and linear. This track brings a definite pop vibe while rolling out an emotional truth that rings loud with truth. ”

        E.Lizé - The Arrival (feat. Chris Rivers) [Review]

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “From the first beat, you know this track is bringing something special to the table. Two separate flows, each speaking their own truth in no nonsense way, deliver what feels like a Hip-Hop sermon.”

          Effie - Worship [Music Video Review]

          September 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, R&B

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Smooth and sultry, Effie delivers a single about submitting to your desire and allowing yourself to succumb to those wants. The real allure to these lyrics is that they are about the empowering euphoria of admitting what you want, rather than a submissive take me approach.

          I don’t know where you went to church, but my idea of ‘Worship’ has never been this steamy and sexy. ”

            “Telling a story without words is no easy task ,and yet, ShadowHood has accomplished exactly that with this piece.

            The clarinet drives the narrative, but the downplayed beat is sneaky in the way it lurks behind the scenes pushing and prodding until it needs to burst forth. ”

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Bringing a big, vivid, Indie Rock singer/songwriter sound, Annie Nirschel is no ‘Smoke Show,’ because there is plenty of talent and substance in the depth of this single. Reminding me of Joan Osborne and Susan Gibson, I am eager to hear more from this emotional writer and performer.”

                “Like a real life Goddess plucked from the realm of mythology, Lindsey Stirling weaves magic into this piece with her bowstring. Emotional and evocative, ‘Artemis’ takes aim at your ears with the precision you’d expect from the Goddess of the Hunt.

                The video is as visually stirring as the music.”

                      The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”

                        The melody takes a backseat to performance here, but that is more an observation than a critique. I was hoping for a moment of energy to bring this one home, though even without that burst, I enjoyed this single a great deal.”

                              Being true to yourself is perhaps the biggest key to personal happiness, and something we all need reminded of from time to time. Stereo Match does this is in an entertaining and provocative manner that left a smile on my face.”

                                  Jen Miller - Hot Balloon [Review]

                                  “Lyrically this single soars. Delivered by Jen Miller’s sultry reggae vocals, this song ticks all the right check marks with meaningful words, and an outstanding performance allowing the listener to merely enjoy the musical vibe, or to focus more what is being said, while pondering the meaning behind the words.”

                                    “A haunting melody and vocals are the soul of this single. ‘Bridges’ will bring out the emotions that will have you reaching for matches to torch the rocky bridge in your past. Confident and demanding, this is music that emboldens and bolsters that feeling that you are not alone in your thoughts or weaknesses. ”

                                      “We all love a good lyric video and Ezra delivers a peaceful yet vibrant song with “Don’t Go” I felt myself snappin my fingers and saying from side to side. ”

                                        “T-Smuv graces this track with his smooth vocals as he creates an aura of 90’s R&B love stories. Best of Me is a track not just for cuffing season but anniversaries because we all aim for that everlasting marathon type love. ”

                                        With the #HotGirl and #CityBoy summers coming to an end, "Best of Me" is right on time for the upcoming #CuffingSeason. The perfect track to let the one you love know exactly how you feel without words.
