In his new visual he is seen sitting at a desk with nothing but money as he tells the story of his life but reminds everyone its still about the money and success. He is going to keep on thuggin til his ‘Due Date’. ”

LOVA - Lonely Ones [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“LOVA offers this track up to all the ‘Lonely Ones.’ The shy, the timid, the ones who simply get caught in the shadows for whatever reason.

The track speaks from the heart with tender and emotional vocals to anyone that has ever felt left out and left behind while the world rushes about around them. This song feels genuine as it speaks of the emotions involved with being one of those who want to be visible, but for whatever reason just don’t quite know how.”

Filous - Trying Not to Think About You [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“There is an uplifting lightness to the production and performance of ‘Trying Not to Think About You.’ The work of producer Filous, and featuring the vocal talents of Nina Chuba, this track comes with a sultry Pop vibe that keeps you feeling good as it progresses along.

The energy and build will put a smile on your face and a bit of extra spring in your step. ”

Wallace Tallman - The Madness [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This administration, and all the conflict and turmoil that has come with it, has led to a proliferation of political songs. These tracks run the gamut of styles and emotions and Wallace Tallman’s single, ‘The Madness,’ makes its statement in clear precise terms that come in a soft singer/songwriter fashion. That is not to say the track lacks an edge or punch, because it brings both with the emotionally laden vocals and stellar songwriting.”

Derek Luttrell - Red [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This is the second track we are featuring today off of Derek Luttrell’s new album, ‘The Wolf Who Cried Boy.’ Both songs offer artful songwriting, and emotive vocals that hookt he listener in with their honest genuine approach. ‘Red’ is about the rage and anger we all feel at times and the futility of giving in to those emotions. ”

HAYL - I Will [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Having the confidence to know who you are, and not letting another person swoop in and try to change you in ways that defy your essence, is a tough thing at times. Especially if you truly have feelings for that person.

’I Will’ is a true Pop ode to that very thing. HAYL is confident and bold in her approach to saying I will not sacrifice who I am, for someone else’s ideas of who they want me to be.”

Derek Luttrell - Called You King [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“It’s never wise to tick of a songwriter, or writer of any kind for that matter. This track is a songwriter speaking his mind after being mistreated and to explain here is the description from the artist himself ....

’Called You King,’ is written about an aging ‘local hero’ band that did everything it could to keep myself and other musicians from having the spotlight at any given time. They kept me close, but made sure to sabotage my life at every step. Lies, stealing, and adultery. All of the good stuff. They’ve been called king of their hometown for too long, without bearing any fruit. Midas minus the golden touch. Enjoy! ~ Derek Luttrell”

Quinn DeVeaux - All I Need [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Rock and Roll Soul Funk. That’s the vibe Quinn DeVeaux brings in this track, which fans of Nathanial Rateliff and Leon Bridges are certain to enjoy.

’All I Need’ captures that all-encompassing euphoria of finding that person that makes the entire world feel world. Simply put, with them at your side you don’t need anything else to feel joyous and right.”

Krooked Tongue - Different Breed [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Straight out of the UK, Krooked Tongue comes in with hard guitars driven sound until the softer vocal bring home the point of this protest song. The world is pissed off and fed up with the status quo of political and financial inequality and this track addresses that anger and attitude in full on Rock glory!”

Khamari - Other Side [Review]

“We may think we have all the moments in the world, but sometimes we wish there was two of us. Sometimes our heart goes different ways and timing is just bad. Singer Khamari released his final single, ‘Other Side’, off his debut EP. Accompanied by the soulful vocals of Jae Stephens this single is a vibe of memories we don’t want to let go. ”

Shem Thomas - Do It [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Singer/Songwriter Shem Thomas loves to tell real stories musically. In his new single ‘Do It’ he provides real stories of motivation and inspiration. His visual highlights the lives of everyday people who ‘Do It’ just because they can do it. As he plays the guitar through the song you can feel his energy in your heart.”

Audriix Deep Breaths [Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Get up and start dancing. Audriix’s new single ‘Deep Breaths’ has a paced yet up beat sound to it. The electro pop artist explains how its time to manifest reality. She isn’t the one to settle down or give in. She chooses to express herself and not calm down. ”

Demi the Daredevil - Paranoia on Main Street [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Its the theatrics for me!!!

First the intro was amazingly sick. ‘Paranoia on Main Street’s’ visual is video game meets movie. Demi the Daredevil infuses creepy theatrics in a pop format and it works. His name alone gives mixed feelings but his talent does not disappoint. He paces his delivery and his tone is stern accompanied by strong word play.”

The Gravity Drive - What Is Love? [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Shown in hidden colors, The Gravity Drive shows the silhouettes of a man and woman . The group’s new single is based on ‘What Is Love’. In a questionable tone they play scenarios in hopes of discovering ‘What Is Love’. You never see them but their personality and talent can be displayed in their movement.”

Limón Limón - Northern California [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This track brings the California coastal vibes as it dives into the emotions of returning to a place that you once called home. No matter the years, facing who you once were is no easy task and this set of lyrics delivers the emotions of attempting to do just that. ”

Broken Witt Rebels - Birmingham - The Digbeth Mix [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Broken Witt Rebels pay tribute to their hometown with ‘Birmingham,’ a track that comes with a mystical brand of reverence that seeps into every word delivered.

The track falls in that Americana, Indie Rock spectrum of sounds, but stands out for its genuine emotion and pacing that simply takes the listener along for a journey of retrospection and nostalgia.”

Laura Tsaggaris - LEAD ME [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This is a beautifully written and performed track about a feeling that prevails for many of us in these troubled times. ‘Lead Me’ is about not feeling like you are doing enough to improve the world and fight the hatred that comes out in certain aspects of society. it is a song of strength about trying to find a way to take a productive stand in the face of turmoil. Even when staying silent might be the easier path to take because fighting injustice is the right thing to do even if that injustices isn’t your own.”

REDD - Bounce [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“REDD knows who he is and what he’s trying to do, and on this track he declares it all for the world to hear.

Hard beats and a cocky swagger dominate the flow and vibe of this well written track. REDD is his own hype man and this track certainly pants the flag. Eager to hear more.”

Royal & The Serpent - "Choke" [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Royal & The Serpent offers this sultry track that feels like Justin Timberlake meets Pink with a dash of the Black Eyed Peas on the side. The beat is infectious and the hook seductive though in the end I did crave a bit more than was here lyrically. The video is engaging and entertaining as well.”

Sarah Barrios - Help ft. Rence [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This is the rare song that did not immediately capture my interest, but came with enough talent to keep me invested in and listening close until suddenly I realized that I was completely enthralled and eager for the next line.

The emotion hear feels genuine, and the performances refused to let me go while that personal attachment grew and built.

Sarah Barrios does the heavy lifting but don’t sleep on the interlude provide by Rence, as his voice added a nice touch.”
