Cellophane Sam - "At War with the Present" [Review]

December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The complexity of the mind is a tough subject to tackle and come out the other side with anything resembling clarity. Cellophane Sam has done so here with a slightly melancholic ode to the internal dialogue we all have, as well as even deeper thoughts and motivations. I came away with an almost Neil Young kind of vibe with a more modern sound. ”

    Payson Lewis - Nothing To You [Review]

    December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “The wrong relationships leaves you depleted and wondering who you truly are. Payson Lewis explores those emotions with tight vocals and a gritty guitar melody on this track and the result is a rocking Pop single more than worthy of your ears.”

      The chainsmokers x Kygo - Family [Music Video Review]

      December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Electronic

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “This video is a USO tribute to those who make a sacrifice with unflinching support of the ones they love. The lyrics and single itself certainly fits that bill too, but there is a universal appeal and emotion to this track as well.”

        Jackson Whalan - G.T.F.O.H. (feat. Myka 9) [Review]

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “The chill easy vibe to the beat and melody contrasts nicely with the vocal flows, which have a decided West Coast feel.

        I recommend you fire one up, and settle in on these lyrics.”

              “A soft emotional singer/songwriter vibe that delves into the often misguided nostalgia of remembering your high school years. The track brings a nice guitar melody and a delicately pleasing voice.”

                Miles Horn - Floating In Space [Review]

                December 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Rock

                Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                “This is a well-written song, but what makes it shine is the vocal performance. There are glossier, more powerful voices than Miles Horn, but you will be hard-pressed to ever hear a song where the artist clearly believes the words they are singing more than Horn obviously does on ‘Floating In Space.’

                It is that personal engagement that makes this track comes alive, and it is is that personal involvement that makes me feel just as invested in the track. ”

                                    “A nice contemporary Christmas song with a singer/songwriter vibe.

                                    Smooth, with a touch of melancholy, this is a song to sip wine and think about that one you can’t be with this holiday season. ”
