Dax - Self Proclaimed 3 [Music Video Review]

November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Dax is the epitome of passion, and in this track that fervor manifests into a set of lyrics that speaks as loud as his steady flow. Delivered in a growl, over a steady beat, this is a song that will leave you hyped and ready to take on the world.”

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Has the America Dream became nothing more than a ‘Pipe Dream?’

    Arson Daily asks this question with a intriguing lyrics and a nice Indie Rock vibe. Engaging guitar driven melody and tantalizing vocals carry this track. ”

      Dante Mazzetti - Breaking in the Sun [Review]

      November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “A father’s heartbreak is rarely examined to this depth, but there are many father’s out there who are not as big a part of their kid’s lives as they’d like.

      This is a quiet folksy song about a man owning up to his past mistakes and trying to find a way forward. Honest and heartfelt the single takes you on a riveting emotional journey.”

        VIVIE ANN - Loverboy [Review]

        November 22, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “A kick ass vocal edge slices through convention on this track detailing the lustful pursuit of our heroine on the prowl for the right ‘Loverboy’ to quell her needs.

        This is a track that turns the usual trope on its head and explores sexual roles in these modern times. The track has a James Bond vibe, but this time the debonair fellow is powerless next to the femme fatale.”

            “Geena Fontanella keeps the momentum going with yet another impactful release.

            ’I Hate This City’ is a heartfelt single of loneliness and longing. Missing a lover who is not physically near is something most of us can relate to, and both lyrically and vocally, the emotions are tangible in this fantastic Electro Pop number.”

                “A hard beat backs most of the flow, and the production shines like a ‘Kings’ crown on this this track, but for me it is the realism of the artist that makes this single rule.

                WALDO pays homage to who he is, and where he came from, while bring a cocky humbleness to his lyrics.”

                  “Okay, I will ‘Admit It,’ MIDLO delivers a pop triumph in this single. It begins with a muffled sound almost as if it were recorded underwater, but that dynamic is brief and then the track explodes and the vocals take on a variety of styles to deliver an emotional set of lyrics detailing the frustration of being toyed with in a relationship. ”

Raw and natural her performance on ‘The Grave’ details the grief of an unexpected loss in haunting beauty. Call it Singer/Songwriter, Americana or simply Commercial music if you will but labels are unimportant when an artist can draw you in and immerse you in the feelings this well. ”

                                  Stabby Organs - High Octane [Review]

                                  “Stabby Organs delivers a high energy sound with strong songwriting and a hard hitting flow.

                                  ’High Octane’ carries a hint of old school Eminem vocals in the verses and a chanting chorus that hooked me early on.”

                                    “What is my left leg doing? Its dancing to the beat of the song. I was half listening to this track but found my body moving and dancing to the song. When this happens that’s how you know its music to your ears. ”

                                      Keenan Willard - Like You Do [Review]

                                      “Delivering a unique vocal tone, Keenan Willard unleashes emotions most of us have had after a tough break up.

                                      There are elements of pop, coffeehouse songwriter and even a hint of EDM sensibilities to the melody on this track, and the fusion makes for a unique and interesting blend.”
