Kate Vogel - Reasons to Stay [Review]

November 16, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Tender and Vulnerable, Kate Vogel’s songwriting is as emotional as her vocal performance.

’Reasons To Stay’ is the inner dialogue of a person struggling to find their motivation when times get tough.”

    Jodi Guthro - Everyone Loves Me, But You [Review]

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Letting go is even tougher when only half of the couple is ready to break things off. This is a beautifully sang Pop track about being the one still emotionally tethered to what no longer is.”

      Derek Luh - Hoodie [Review]

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Letting go is tough to do, and many of us have attached our emotions to an inanimate object.

      ’Hoodie’ delivers these feelings in a nice steady flow that is as comfortable to wrap around you as your favorite, time-worn garment. ”

        “Regret is a powerful emotion and this track does a great job of imparting the pain associated with that very thing. Pure rock sound with instrumentation that conveys as much as the lyrics this track drips with yesterday’s tears. ”

          Sidhant Seth - Hypnotizing Me [Review]

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The unique sound hits you first, and given the fact Sidhant Seth is a unique talent with a variety of vocal skills and talents, that is to be expected.

          There is a reoccurring shift in the melody that originally threatened to shake me out of the groove, but after a number of listens, I found myself enjoying the change in sound more and more.”

              “The beat production and dance groove here is rock solid, and I particularly enjoyed the story aspect to the lyrics.

                      SINNAH - FAKE [Sinnah]

                      “SINNAH deleivers a cute pop song that has a defined beat to it”
                      — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

                      SINNAH - FAKE [Sirup Music - SIR1137] The young and colorful singer-songwriter SINNAH is back with more confidence and quirky lines than ever, this time together with the team on Sirup Music. With a booming kick, cheerleader drum rolls, and a reminiscent atmosphere, this is the song about that ridiculously needy attention-seeker who couldn’t be more FAKE. Just as each and every one of her songs, it tells a real and relatable story - and uplifts any dull moment. FAKE is about a guy who is starting to immediately date a new girl after a break up. The way he is acting is the total opposite, than the way he did in the previous relationship. People who know him are starting to question this behavior, finding it weird and fake. In the end it's just a way for him to get over his ex. FAKE to me is when someone is acting in a different way to make people like them. Being liked is nice and something that I think all of us are striving for but you shouldn't change the way you are just to please someone else. As long as you like who you are, the people you care about are gonna like you back and that's enough. My kind of people are not those who are trying too much or always have to claim themselves. I like that quote ”Be a good person but don't waste time to prove it”, it makes a lot of sense. After all, being real and and being nice is easy and it doesn't cost you a thing! I wrote FAKE when I was in the beginning of a new relationship. I was really happy and grossly in love, so I wrote one good happy song and the rest turned out to be very cliche. Then I found that I had to start to write angry and interesting songs again and that's when I dived into my friends love-life and ”FAKE” took place.

                        “Insomnia is an ugly thing, but this track beautifully captures the feelings of hope and desperation that it brings out in its sufferers.

                        Big bold vocals with a pop gospel kind of feel delivers the lyrics over the top of a melody that soars in all the right places.”

                                “The emotion escalates throughout this well-written track, putting you deep inside another’s mind. The stripped down beat and melody get out of the way, allowing for an instantaneous connection to the vocal flow. ”

                                  “Soulful and energetic, ‘Key$’ rides a hard beat and R&B vocals to create a genre bending Hip-Hop track that feels commercial, without sacrificing its soul.”

                                    “This is one of those tracks that just grabs you and it is hard to say why. There are some shiny lines that truly are ‘Going For The Gold,’ and the vocal flow is somewhat ordinary until the chorus anyway, but I was on the hook just the same.

                                    I suppose my intrigue here came from the fact that it felt true and I believed the emotion behind the flow.”

                                      “KARLI’s vocals perfectly capture the Pop sound, and the lyrics of ‘Running For My Life’ do a great job of showcasing her ability to emote and parlay emotion, into a variety of vocal sounds.”

                                        The Criticals - Got No Love [Review]

                                        “I have fast become a big fan of The Criticals. There is a nostalgic quality to both their sound and songwriting, or rather I should say — classical sound, because there is nothing dated about their music.

                                        The melody hooked me here before the lyrics quickly establishing another single to the band’s impressive EP Mimosa Hygiene, which is not out in its entirety.”
