    Big Shug - "EMF" (prod. by DJ Premier) [Music Video Review]

    October 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Calling out every MF’er, ‘EMF’ is Big Shug laying it out in his no frill fashion.

    This is the track to play when you too are pissed off and fed up with with the doubters, naysayers, and haters. Straight-up lyrics dropped over the top of a straight-up beat. Nothing fancy, but effectual. ”

      Miranda Glory - Pisces [Review]

      October 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Contemporary R&B, Commercial

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “The vocals are smooth and tender and that brings a vulnerability that really works well here.

      The production is catchy with enough Electro elements to keep this one from falling into a saccharine pop vibe. The chorus hook is fantastic and unexpected.”

          Mike Xavier - Look At You Now [Review]

          October 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “That thin line between love and hate is often big and bold after a breakup. This flow takes gloating to a new level post breakup. An anthem for those flourishing when their exes flounder. The horns in the melody add to the flavor of winning and the vocals capture the emotion of prideful disdain.”

              “Soulful introspective that is made all the more touching by Saul Rivers smooth vocals.

              ’Change’ is a single that delivers pop style sensibilities, without sacrificing poignancy and emotional depth.”

                “A beautiful folksy song about that one love that slipped away.

                ’One Regret’ is a song of heartache, but also one of hope because the emotions are so universal and it always gives us hope to know what we are feeling is shared by others. ”

                      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                      “A slow building track that offers a look at the generational gaps that exist in attitudes, goals, and ideas. The track brings a fun energy for such a protest song, but perhaps that will make more people pause and listen and truly think about the message.

                      The video incorporates the family aspect of the band’s fan base by inviting them them for the filming in a message of inclusion.”

                                “Netflix and Chill gets all the glory, but who hasn’t found themselves in Netflix and Still ... As in in ‘Are You Still Watching?’

                                Binge watching is one thing, but sometimes that act of solitary streaming is one of loneliness and it is in those times that the innocent question feels like a judgement.

                                DAVVN has taken the emotions of those times, and given us an pop-minded anthem for how it feels when streaming entertainment is your only companion.”

                                  Scott Martin - Bringing Hollywood Back To Life [Review]

                                  “An energetic ode to hope ... and a pledged return to what once was golden.

                                  Scott Martin delivers a straightforward rock song with hints of Elton in the vocals, and a splash of Springsteen to the melody.”

                                    “This track hits you like The Beastie Boys on acid.

                                    This is an in your face protest song with something to say! Not for the faint of heart, but a track that does not flinch.”

                                      “Another Pop triumph from LUC. Here the sweet vocals contain an attitude and a edge that makes for a fun contrast.

                                      A hearty dose of attitude is rarely this fun.”

                                        “This tracks feels like an instant club classic.

                                        Get up! Hit the floor! Don’t hold back!

                                        ’Discrete’ is the kind of single that makes it possible to lose yourself to the music for a short time. ”
