Ali George - Melanie Brown [Review]

August 21, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Ali George gives us a solid Murder Ballad with the track “Melanie Brown.’ There is a Southern Rock sound to this track, though the Folk influence lurks there in the shadows as well.

The lyrics tell the fictitious tale of a young man who falls in love with a hired girl and then becomes jealous of her exploits with others.”

    Alex Gibson - Falling for You [Review]

    August 21, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Coming at you with a true Singer/ Songwriter sound and vibe, Alex Gibson relies on an emotive vocal style to hook you in even before the emotion of the writing has a chance to wrap around you.

    The sensation of crushing hard comes through loud and clear in ‘Falling for You.’ Save this one for the next time you are in the throes of lust and love so you can add it to the playlist for the one you want to show how you feel. ”

      Justin Jesso - Too Good To Lose [Review]

      August 21, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Delivering a Commercial sound perfect for the Top 40, Justin Jesso has that Arena Pop sound down pat.

      ’Too Good To Lose’ is a big emotional track about knowing you aren’t the best thing for a person, but selfish reasons. Pride, and maybe even need, keeps you from cutting them loose, because they do make you happy even though it is clear they offer more to you than you can to them. ”

        The Criticals - High Life Clinic [Review]

        August 21, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The Criticals never fail to deliver energy and attitude in their music and the band’s latest single, ‘High Life Clinic’ once again brings that Rock and Roll spirit that many bands strive for, but often fail to reach.

        There is a hint of Punk in this track and a catchy hook to go along with the in-your-face delivery. This is Indie Rock as it should be!”

          Emili - Autopilot [Review]

          August 21, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Indie Rock, Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Emili comes at you with a vibe sweet innocence vocally, but the emotions of the songwriting delivers an edge and grit.

          ’Autopilot’ is about rut, routine, and expectations. The desire to shake things up rather than than toe the line and do exactly what everyone is expecting and demanding of you.”

            Mr.Peabody- Gods Children [Review]

            August 20, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Mr. Peabody is the people’s voice as he makes songs about real life experiences..

            In an effort to speak volumes Mr. Peabody delivers ‘Gospel Rap’. God’s Children is a song about diversity and unity. We are all born to have our own life regardless of color or culture yet we are still judged because of the color of one’s skin. People are dying and we must realize human life is important and as we stand divided we all will eventually fall.”
            — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

            Sometimes the media can block our vision we need to stand united against a common enemy the senseless deaths need to stop . Who polices the police ?? Where is the justice ??

              “This is a song you don’t know what to expect but when the beat drops you rock with it. Gyyps is a Picasso of music. He paints a picture but gives a deeper meaning in his delivery. He goes from a yelling vocal level to a smooth tone as he musically paints his new single..”

                Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                “ Close your eyes and allow the music to take you away. Listen to the keyboards, listen to the words and listen to Singer Songwriter Ella vocals. As she sings she is pleading with someone to reveal how they feel in her new single ‘Say It’. The song is demanding yet emotional.”
                — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

                You took the music Out of my melody The words Out of my mouth I am speechless Hopelessly wondering Is there anything left here to salvage I did everything I could I’d know better if I would have Reconsidered All the warning signs Nobody knows the truth til we have face it And nobody goes where danger is on the run Say it Let it out Tell me why you’ve been here holding onto What I should’ve known Say it Let it out Save me time, don’t drag me through what’s untrue Was I not enough You took the faith Out my everything The breath Out of my lungs Am I worthless Did I mean anything Or was this just a boy being selfish I gave everything I could Wish that I had understood You would not consider every tear I cried Nobody knows the truth til we have face it So why did I go where danger was on the run Say it Let it out Tell me why you’ve been here holding onto What I should’ve known Say it Let it out Save me time, don’t drag me through what’s untrue Was I not enough All the times you said you couldn’t live without me It was never addin’ up Addin’ up, no All the times you said that you’d come back for me But baby it was not enough, not enough, for you Say it Let it out Tell me why you’ve been here holding onto What I should’ve known Say it Let it out Save me time, don’t drag me through what’s untrue Was I not enough

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Alfie Templeman goes beyond expectations. In a creative yet different visual of him playing a video game he begins to sing over a very well mixed and mastered beat. The visual shows him running through life tackling things that he thought was his, hence the name of the single ‘Things I Thought Were Mine’. As he battles for his happiness he recounts the good moments and the bad moments.”

                      “Bitter much?

                      That question pretty much sums up the lyrical make up of ‘Drop Dead.’ But sometimes bitterness is warranted after a bad breakup.

                      Rain Division delivers a hard-edged Alternative Rock track taking on the emotions of emerging from a toxic relationship with the knowledge the other person is entirely at fault. The video adds to to IDGAF attitude of the track, making both the song and the overall project quite entertaining. ”

                        “Coming with a classic Folk sound, both vocally and in the melody, Mamie Minch gives us a ‘Fortified Wine.’ There is a bit of Woody Guthrie woven through this track and because there is a bit of Woody in so many artists from the genre you can trace this sound to many other contemporary Folk artists. That said, Minch’s husky vocals and emotive style rises above the fray to deliver a truly engaging single.”

                                Sami Simon - Morning Sun [Review]

                                “The dark of night can conjure up a myriad of thoughts, often bleak and oppressive, but with the first rays of light it is easier to find that shred of positivity.

                                ’Morning Sun’ the latest single from Sami Simon is all about daybreak and the effect it has on our outlook. A moody soft track, the single is uplifting without being Pollyanna in any way.”

                                  “Jealously plays evil tracks on the mind, and the fact that LOST has taken on that phenomenon with an upbeat slightly unhinged exuberance is sheer genius, as it captures that yo-yo set of emotions very well.

                                  Here in this single and video ‘Jealous’ is a fun romp from the outside looking in, but sooner or later we all find ourselves in that state of angry and hurt delirium.”

                                    Kaya Stewart - California feat. Childish Major [Review]

                                    “Kaya Stewart brings an edgy allure to her vocal performance on ‘California.’ Of course the Golden State has long possessed that same brand of allure, so in this track that serves as a love letter to the state, the tone is dead on perfect. A brief Hip-Hop interlude from Childish Major adds to the mood and vibe of the track as a solid change-up to Stewart’s talented performance.”

                                      “James Bourne taps into a Randy Newman style of vibe with ‘Everyone Is My Friend.’ The well-written lyrics are easy to dial in and stay focused on, and the performance is just as engaging.

                                      Labeling this single with a genre is tough, because there is a bit of Soul, a splash of Pop, and a twang of Country to this timeless sound.”

                                        “Natalie Schlabs has a breathy, tranquil vocal style on the single ‘That Early Love’ which reminds me of both Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt at different times.

                                        Lyrically, this track is about the intense feeling of new love, and how sometimes that bond grows and intensifies rather than fading along with increased familiarity. This is a song about the power of lasting love.”
