“The euphoria of new love is a feeling that is hard to replicate though Kiara Nelson does a good job on this track by expressing that eager bit of emotion.
’Kisses For Breakfast’ comes with a fun video that goes along well with the light, Pop-like R&B vibe to the single itself. ”
“Thrills come out with it in such a straight forward fashion here on this single, that it is impossible to look away. Call it verve or boldness or flat out confidence, but the strength of the writing is all the more powerful for the unflinching delivery.
This is a set of lyrics that demands you listen over and over again to pick up all of the thoughts and nuance behind them. ”
“E-Los drops this soulful blend of Hip-Hop and R&B. that just grabs hold of you. The groove is smooth and steady, and the emotion shines through in the performance making the well-written lyrics fell alive. The pace is slow, but that works here because it give you time to feel every word being laid down. ”
“We have featured Bad Flamingo before and I’ve long been a fan. The diverseness of their sound is especially impressive in a time when many artists sound the same on every track they release.
’Butter’ is not an easy song to categorize, but it is an Indie Rock vibe with a trippy and meandering melody that sort of mesmerizes and comes across as smooth as butter on warm toast. Intriguing vocals add to the dynamic.”
“Sometimes being a woman is overwhelming. Slater Davis understands that its a hard knock life for a ‘Girl Out Here’. The visual focuses on the imperfections of a woman. It shows her not at her best and nearly not being able to take what the world is giving her. Slater Davis’s vocals focuses on a want to find the girl that was once known, but is lost. ”
“‘Reggae Love’ is one of those track that some people might refer to as an ear worm because it settles in your mind and refuses to leave. YOU can;t help but move and sign along to the steady beat and the chorus that comes with it. Somewhat reminiscent of UB40 and ‘Red, Red Wine’ in that aspect. ”
“Ellen Degeneres is always known to recognize stars and singer songwriter Anna Graceman is surely a star. In a dramatic yet opera setting her new singe ‘Night Follows’ is her testimony of a tragic moment when she was carjacked and held at gunpoint. This song is for survivors who still battle with those traumatizing moments. Even when the night still follows you must remember you survived it all.”

“Imagination! As an idea people might call imagination a flight of fancy best utilized by little kids. But as a principle, imagination is at the heart of everything from innovation to who we are as people.
’Believe In Me’ is a track that is as nuanced and deliberate as you imagine it to be. And the masked duo comprising The Image fall in the same category. The video here is spectacular and I encourage you to listen and watch and decide for yourself what your imagination is telling you to believe in. ”
“In light of everything that is going on in the world A. Meazy’s new single ‘ I Can’t Breathe (Again)’ is a reminder that people are still fighting, people are still scared, and many just want to be able to breathe freely. The single’s arrangement is lyrical with a soulful old school church melody to it. He recants situations that occur everyday but some just don’t always have good endings.You can feel the emotions in their vocals and their hope for equality.”
“I love music that brings a different prospective or angle, and Marques Martin does exactly that here in this track.
Pursuing a life as a creative artist of any kind comes with naysayers and doubters, and ‘Dance Songs’ address that in a smart emotional way rather than the usual angry defiance so prevalent when dealing with so-called haters.
Truth is most don’t hate you for expressing yourself, they simply dismiss the chance you might be good or have a genuine shot to actually carve out your place in the business.
The smooth easy flow of this track is real and intelligent and true to the mindset. ”
“Offering everything you want out of a big bold dance number, ‘Heart On My Sleeve’ is guaranteed to get people out on the dance floor. Hopefully we can all return to dance floors soon and find our groove to these soaring vocals, infectious beat, and tantalizing drops. Until then, I say crank this one up and dance by yourself or with the ones you keep close, because this track is too sweet to let sit idle until the world rights itself.”
“This is a high-energy track comes at you with one foot in the Alternative sound of the 90s, and another in more of a contemporary Folk Rock stratosphere.
Delivering a solid Rock and Roll vibe, ‘Phoenix From The Flames’ is about taking the hard punches life comes at you with, and not only surviving, but thriving to fight another day.”
“You ever feel like sometimes things are pointless? Or sometimes shxt just doesn’t go right? Well, Peter $un’s new single ‘Sometimes’ is all the moods that you sometimes feel. His visual is colorful and lifting but realistic at the same time. He is shown in simple places like the park with a illustrated $un to represent his energy.”
“They say the best things are said when you are either intoxicated or talking in your sleep. A Is For Arrows new single ‘Talking In My Sleep’ is about the expression and feelings we tend to hold in. In a dark room with words written in red they display smiley face balloons, to show how happy one can be once they express themselves.”
“A vivacious track about trying to have a night, and survive the drama or trouble while doing it. Get in the club, stoke a good buzz up, find a sweet little bit of company for the rest of the night, and get out before trouble finds you.
Sounds like a simply concept, but it ain’t always easy to pull off. The flow here has a nice bit of verve and swagger, and the beat production makes the track come alive. This is both a groove and a mood.”
“Coming with a big bold statement, Fab The Duo comes with ‘Our Love Is Resistance’ which speak loud and clear its beliefs and intentions. From the duo themselves ...
’Our Love Is Resistance’ is a power ballad in honor of Pride Month and the #blacklivesmatter movement. The music video was filmed at Stonewall, the birthplace of gay rights. With beautiful gospel harmonies, cinematic horn section, and wailing guitar, this rock anthem reminds listeners that love truly conquers all!””
“This track hooked me with vibe and energy. That Latin beat and verve made the track come alive, and while on my first listen I did not always follow lyrically, the video does offer the chance to dive into the words.
Balancing a nice amount of swagger and attitude, the track comes with an extra bit of punch to go with the infectious tempo. ”
“The complicated dance that is love comes with all manner of missteps before you find the right partner. Maja Kristina takes on the person that only thinks they want to dance with you. The sort that goes in with the minimal amount of emotions and engagement, without truly feeling being swept up and present in the endeavor.
The Electro Pop groove comes with engaging vocals and an uptempo beat that propels ‘The Idea Of Me’ forward to the end.”
“A dark and dangerous look at drug addiction, ‘The Candyman’ uses a 90’s era beat and sound to deliver a warning about your friendly neighbor hood drug dealer.
Rock vocals that feel sticky and gritty deliver the goods on this track which feels almost apocalyptic. The imagery of the video adds an entire layer to the vibe of this track. Together the package puts a tangible spin on an untouchable dilemma.”
“All Hail ... The Dutchess!
Yeah, you’ve heard tracks calling out the haters before, but the letter Z ain’t the only thing different about The Dutchess’s take on ‘Haterz.’
Straight up flow coming with unflinching confidence delivered with a tone that lands square. The attitude and verve coming out of this Portland rapper are what make her stand out.”
