The Wavy Kid - Get Away [Review]

November 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Riding a crest of smooth confidence, The Wavy Kid drops ‘Get Away’ which feels cool and comforting.

This track isn’t exactly breaking new ground, but it covers all the basis for an upbeat and entertaining listen. ”

    Daughters of Noise! - 2023 [Review]

    November 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Electronic

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “If I am honest ... I nearly dismissed this track early on. The initial sound did not hook me, but the longer I listened, that old school 90s synth vibe snaked its way into my soul, and the retro girl band vocals soon caught my ear.

    I was a reluctant fan for sure, but there is something to be said for a track that can surprise you and turn your head and I came away a fan despite that initial reaction.”

      Jagwar Twin - Loser [Music Video Review]

      November 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Jagwar Twin uses smooth Alternative vocals and a haunting rock melody to celebrate both the similarities and differences in all of us.

      Nice video imagery that pares well with the lyrics. A straightforward song that entertains with a nice hook.”

        The Seshen - Dive [Video Music Review]

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “An engaging dance track with an almost disturbing emotional quality to the lyrics. The vocals are alluring in a fragile desperate kind of way and the single captures the feeling of being out on the ragged edge of your mind.”

                “Dylan Rockoff brings a little of that Bruno funk flavor in this fun ode to the fickle nature of both love, and haircuts.

                Then again a ‘Bad Haircut’ can ruin far more than your day so maybe this is actually a serious song. Nah, because luckily bad haircuts don’t last forever even if the photographic evidence does. ”

                    The tracks began a little disjointed for me, but once it settles into that R&B rhythm, the single falls into a delightful glide.”

                      “This is a track that was a slow emotional build for me. The accompanying video is outstanding and helps connect the lyrics to an imagery and vision.

                      The sound is modern and commercial but not pop exactly, this makes the track hard to categorize, but no matter how you describe the music, the adjectives intelligent and emotional should be used.”

                                “We started off with a mini intro audio movie, which led us to the praises of ‘Amen’. Through the changes of dark and light ‘Vitiligo’; Macharo’ s project ‘DDM’ delivers a different sound with guest features from Stophe Malone and Young Homage ON ‘Usian Bolt’. For most who need no explanation for ‘Hoodie Season’ when you live a ‘Life Like’ this with money over everything except your kids. When the kids go play it leaves time to ‘Celebrate’ success and no more struggles.”

                                  Amy Guess - Holy Hell [Review]

                                  November 01, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative, Rock

                                  “This track has a fairly common rock structure, but the vocals save it from feeling overly familiar. Amy Guess does a great job of providing a varied sound in the performance — each alluring in its own right. The chorus strikes hard and fast and delivers a punch.”

                                    “A song that will make you both smile and think. The flow varies and is engaging through the multiple delivery styles.

                                    Pure entertainment start to finish. ”

                                      “The world needs more original Christmas songs and Daniel Blake delivers here with a nice singer’songwriter coffeehouse vibe.

                                      Calm and well-written, this is a song to sit back and listen to as you reflect on another year passing while giving thanks for ‘The Ones You Love.’”

                                        “The beat and vocal vibe work well together here to instill an attitude that goes well with the groove. The build is subtle, but effective making this a nicely produced track all the way through.”
