“Let the coronation commence! An-G declares herself Queen in this, punch-you-in-the-mouth flow. Proclaiming to the world that she can do whatever the hell she wants, An-G is not shy on bluster be it with your man or otherwise. Brazen, and blazing, she ain’t talking trash, she is talking facts, at least in her mind.
Listen and scope out the video to judge for yourself if you think she can back up the swagger.”
“Mourning is accepted when it comes to those who have passed on, but it often seems like we as society tell people to get over it and move on when they are mourning anything else but the dead.
With ‘Mourn The Living,’ Sarah Barrios gives is a heart-wrenching Pop ballad to the loss of relationships, friends, and even times gone by. The vocals deliver the sense of loss with a tender almost ragged emotion that hits hard.”
“Dark and gritty, this Electro Pop track promises ‘Retribution.’ There isn’t a person alive who hasn’t craved a little pay back for those who have done them wrong and on this track, Anna Pena puts that desire into a set of menacing, yet sultry vocals that makes you taste the need for revenge on the back of your tongue.
The single delivers a nice arrangement which offers variation and a build that keeps you tethered to this song.”
“Anna Graceman caught the eyes and ears of Ellen and America’s Got Talent at an early age, and she has only grown and matured as an artist since those appearances.
’Night Follows’ is a soaring ballad with rich vocal textures and tangible emotion. There is a big bold feel to this track that captivates and keeps you invested throughout, even as the track drops into its quieter moments.”
“Brooke Alexx steps away from a big Pop production with this raw emotional track. ‘Stole My Heart’ is a tender love ballad of heartache, hope, and fear.
Lyrically the song is about that one person that you can’t forget even though both of you have moved on, proving time and distance are sometimes not enough to repair the cracks true love leaves behind. Sometimes the journey is not what we expect and this tack captures that realization with grace and talent.”
“Perhaps the ‘Revolution’ in question is one to return to a time when Rock music was loud and fast and carried an edge. If so, HÖVRING is one of the leaders of the charge.
This track is simply pure old school Rock and Roll. Straight out of Denmark this single brings the drums sound you’d expect, the front man energy you need, and of course, an attitude that leaves you ready to challenge the world.”
“There is never a bad time to fall in love, but that said, the carefree spirit of summer seems the perfect season to experience the dizzying array of emotions that comes with the act.
Modern Adventures has not only captured the feeling of falling in love, but also has given us the perfect summer vibe with ‘Can I Call You.’ This Indie Rock track delivers a purely modern vibe and yet it is not impossible to imagine the Beach Boys creating such a feel good tune simply made for the bright sunshine.”
“Meshing a Hip-Hop vibe with an Electronic sound, Harmoneee drops ‘Don’t Bring Me Down.’ The production and arrangement keep the track moving forward at a tranquil pace that meanders, but never lags.
Lyrically, the track is a positive reaffirmation that tough times, hard times, anxious times — do not have to define you. That you can keep on moving forward and overcome the roadblocks until you get to the other side. ”
“As you pour a drink you look at it and think about the ups, the downs, and the arguments that it causes. An addiction can be crazy because it is a gateway away from reality. However, that addiction ruins things around you. Jessica Hoover’s new single ‘Sober’ is not just a what if but a PSA for people who need to find their sober path and find peace.”

“Everyday is a hustle. For most people their hustle consist of doing what they have to do to survive, They are driven with the ultimate goal of finding a way out. N-Trigue Da Incredible’s new single’ Way Out’ drops a hard beat with a smooth visual of cruising the streets telling the stories of life and the hustle”
“Cool and crisp like a bright Summer morning. ‘Vuddy’ delivers a beach vibe just in time to get some sand between your toes.
This track is about that one girl that refuses to go quietly. The one that demands to be noticed and will stop at nothing until you do so. The groove here is infectious and the vocals stay in that same lane to keep the good ties going.”
“It is a simple question with complex ideas behind it. ‘Where Do Love Go?’ Here one minute and gone the next. Not unlike a magical tune that lands in your ears and fills you with ideas and emotion only to disappear as another track comes on. Still some songs stick with us and this is that kind of song. Light and airy in the best possible way Pop music can be, Lune has given us a track that we can easily dance along with as we ponder all the wonderful and weird facets of this thing we call life.”
“Make up sex! This track is the softest smoothest ode to angry smashing that you will ever hear.
The lyrical build is magic and the talented vocal performance oddly pop-like given the message being delivered. Somehow the mismatched combination is quite evocative and intriguing. But I suppose that is how love goes. Passion runs hot and cold, and is especially abrupt after making the corner after a big fight. So perhaps, this song has only captured that dynamic in perfect, musical bliss. ”
“Kahone Concept has a bit of Coldplay vibe about them, and the track ‘Maybe’ is a slow build that sort of sneaks up on you. The sound and emotion are prevalent from the start, but I was surprised how deeply engrossed I became in the track.
The world disappeared for me and I simply was carried away by the music and performance.”
“Estella Dawn is fed up with the added scrutiny women face. Too think? Too thick? To sensual. Not alluring enough? ‘Wonderlust’ is an intricately delivered revolt to the idea the opinions of others should get in the way of who you are and how you feel.
Dawn’s vocals are lush and rich and brimming with seething attitude, though you get the sense there is even more power lurking there should she need to call upon it. This track makes a statement for a talented young artist.”
“On a track that will leaving you trying to decide if you should laugh, cry, or dance, Makena gives us a gamut of emotions.
’Time of My Life’ is an ode to growing up and finding your place in the world through tough times and good times and all the times in between. There is a pop element to the vocals that adds a lightness to what lyrically at times is a very dark song.
Showcasing a variety of vocal styles, the track also offers that hopeful feeling you get with the knowledge you are not alone in your hopes, fears, and struggles.”
“The soft piano melody invites you in, Cobi’s delicate yet emotive vocals makes you want to stay. Lyrically, this track will no doubt hold different meanings for different people, because this is that kind of artful songwriting that can deliver both intimacy and broad relevance.
’Don’t Stop” transcends genre, by falling into the power ballad spectrum of simply good music that speaks to a wide array of listener.”
“There is a real 80’s vibe to this track, both in the sound and imagery of the video. Kiesza delivers the vocals with energy and a theatrical brand of emotion that works very well in the build toward the chorus.
’Crave’ is a song that just keeps rising and pulling you along until it explodes into a chorus that arrives with a smart satisfaction.
The video is simple in concept, but works well to keep you entertained and dialed in on the track.”
“Caspa drops his latest single, ‘No Friends,’ a track that is all about mood and vibe. The 21 year old hails from the Bahamas, and there is a laid back island feel to the flow, but lyrically, the track has a heavier truth about the fakeness that is so pervasive in this world. The vocals are delivered with a steady deliverance, and the emotion comes through without the production side of the track getting in the way of the rawness.”
“This track took a little bit to find its legs for me, but once the vocals really got going I was hooked in and enamored by the sound. The tone is unique, with a splash of Dylan and a bit more of Orbison going on vocally, with a Springsteen kind of vibe to the overall arrangement as well.
Lyrically, the track is more repetitive than perhaps most of the music that sticks with me but here it all works as part of a mood and attitude.”
