“Gentrification is not an easy topic to put a humorous spin on, but somehow Tom. G accomplished to do so with ‘Tore Down The Projects.’ With rasp to his voice and a fast but not rapid flow, the vocals deliver the catchy hook and wit-sharp lyrics about the way things used to be for a player. The track delivers upbeat energy and a wry spirit that put a smile on my face. ”
“Kate Dinsmore has the kind of voice that makes you lean in and listen. ‘That Ain’t Me’ is the kind of song that defies genre and pulls people in, because of the emotional resonance. That feeling that love brings things you never bargained for is one that hits us all at time point.
Dinsmore’s delivery is soulful and folksy and big and bold. Sometimes all at once. This is a song to feel, as much as hear.”
“BriGuel’s ‘The Difference’ sounds like something I have heard before but even if I have the song still stuck to me. It has a cultural mixture when it comes to the vocals. The visual is a motivational highlight of mentors helping children all over. As words appear on the visual it shows how powerful helping someone can be. The smiles light up through the screen and Andres Gonzalez vocals are so strong its breath taken.”
“Fluttering in on the wings of a beautiful guitar melody, ‘Butterflies’ is a soft and delicate love song that captures that flight of fancy our emotions and stomach goes on when we are near that special person.
Alexis Roussiaux delivers a tender, Mayer esque, performance that couples can easily dance to, and/or add to their playlists dedicated to each other. Perhaps the song is made all the more romantic in that it comes from the French, Roussiaux.”
“Jovani is a Lithuanian DJ that teams up with LA based vocal artist Dvniel on this latest latest single “Half Life.”
Jovani has produced an upbeat energetic track that will no doubt be shared by couples pledging a life together. The emotion behind the track captures the euphoria of falling in love quite well, all in a glorious EDM style that is as easy to dance to as it is to sing along with as you ride down the road with your windows down and the wind whipping your hair.”
“Being happy with yourself is important anytime, and it is one thing many of us struggle with after a tough break up. But in these current times, learning to cope and be content with isolation is more important than ever before.
This track comes with a Hip-Hop/ Pop vibe and is well-written and performed with a touch of wry humor that comes through in the imagery of the video as well as the vocal flow. And it does so with a message that you can be alone and be perfectly okay.”
“Cam Carter’s hard hitting and emotional vocal flow dominates this track, but like most ‘Shadows’ the intrigue first comes from the haunting darkness, and this track begins with a beautifully dark vocal chant. The old school Boom-Bap flow hits with stellar writing and is punctuated by Carter’s intensity.
Lurking in the peripheral is that haunting chant that adds just a bit of an Indie songstress giving this hard hitting track enough commercial appeal to appeal to the hard edged Hip-Hop fan as well as those who gravitate to more commercial sounds. Carter walks that line well by maintaining his conviction in the vocal flow. ”
“The energy of BSTAR and Boosie BadAzz make this southern banger, one you can ride along with.
Detailing the actions of clingy sidepiece who can’t get enough, there is a bit of humor here that we all need about now. The track has that spirit of defiance and attitude that makes it fun. The flow is fast and steady and the lyrics sharp enough to keep you listening close through multiple plays. ”
“Don’t be fooled by the title of Make You Cry’s latest single, ‘From The Loving Hands Of Our Creator’ into thinking this is an uplifting bolt of inspirational lightness. Perhaps the song does offer its own brand of inspiration, but make no mistake this is a dark and brooding rock song.
The vocals are nuanced and emotional and the video offers up some evil rabbit imagery to add an element of appropriate weirdness to the metaphor of choice that the lyrics pose. ”
“Nonamus comes right at you in ‘Lean Back.’ An alluring beat and energy dominate this track which grabs you and pulls you along for a good time. The imagery of the video expresses this very thing and the melody shifts into a nice funky surf rock groove from time to time. The second flow featuring Devonchyy adds another engaging element to keep you on the hook for the whole ride on this one. ”
“This track has a nice Commercial groove and energy about it lyrically. The beat and melody are pure Electro Pop and the vocal talent holds it all together with a smooth flow that is easy to follow and song along with. This song establishes a mood and vibe that will resonate well across genres.”
“The vibe here pulls you in and holds you, especially if you are lucky enough to call ‘Cali’ home. The melody and beat have a few surprises, and I dig that old school scratch added in there. The vocals are soft and steady and deliver the message with a clarity that can only be expressed by true belief in what you are saying.
This is a track to sit back and groove to why you smoke and reflect on your California lifestyle.”
“It is no secret that Addiction is tough on everyone that loves you. This track comes from the viewpoint of a lover trying to break free from a relationship to save themselves from being pulled down alongside the one that can’t stay clean.
The track utilizes several vocal styles which do a good job of showcasing the various emotions and moods of the distancing process. Lyrically sharp, the lyrics are easy to stay focused in on, and to sing along with. It’s not a happy song, but one of true emotion with a hint of jaded bitterness to make it truly feel real.”
“A chill vibe ushers in GO79MAN’s vocal flow which carries a raspy gravel behind earnest and honest lyrics. There is an energy behind his flow that keeps you leaning forward despite the fact there is not a ton of variation to the delivery. The track’s strength is the vocal talent and obvious conviction behind the message.”
“Alex Scott is taking a swim in the pool Michael Jackson built and Bruno has been swimming laps in recently. ‘I Got It’ is Pop Funk that will no doubt remind some of Timberlake as well.
Scott’s vocal talent shines bright with this performance and the energy is undeniable, making this a track worthy of your time and energy.”
“This tracks bare and stripped back vocals hooked me early on. I listened in the way you watch a story unfold on the street, that you perhaps are not supposed to see, because the nature of this track is slightly voyeuristic in that it feels like an intimate conversation between friends.
The Electro Pop vibe is subdued and the track progresses with that one single voice doing the heavy, emotional lifting. Though the track does have enough splashes production wise, to elevate it above the artsy status and give it just a hint of commercial flair.”
“Mandell blends R&B and Pop vocals over beat and melody that incorporates EDM style production along with a smooth soulful groove to give us an emotional track. Lyrically, this track deals with the complex of emotions that come with falling in love.”
“Just because you’re stuck at home, it doesn’t mean you can’t get up and dance!
Yeah, I am ‘Talking To You.’
This remix is a track that delivers both engaging vocals and an energetic production to get you moving. So grab the one you are sequestered with; the cat, the dog, hell grab the broom if you must, but toss you hair back and move to the music because it is important to get up and groove. ”
“Brooks Dixon gives us a chill, Soft Contemporary Rock vibe with ‘Let Go.’ There are some jazz elements to the melody and the song has a calm mood setting aura of reflection and introspection. The vocals are engaging and carry enough emotion to pull you in. Genre wise the track is tough to pin down but for comparison it falls somewhere between Jimmy Buffett, Ed Sheeran, and Zac Brown. ”
“Jillian Steele has a voice that pulls you in immediately, and her single ‘No Expectations’ is one that has more to offer than an engaging performance and intriguing melody.
Co-written by Michel Heyaca and James Shelley (American Authors), the track was written during a period of uncertainty and confusion to narrate how things happens for a reason. in discussing the song, Steele reveals, ‘Life was happening around me and I was just in it without any control and through this song I gained insight that I do deserve things and I should have expectations of what I want.’
Taking control of emotions is what many artists hope to do with their work and Steele show that with her talent on this track.”
