SYNFLEX - From The Underground [Review]

November 02, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in EDM

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Do you miss social events? Are you tired of Zooming?

’From The Underground’ is a new single that will virtually take you where you want to go. Synflex is taking EDM and mix to a whole different level. As you listen you can close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by people dancing and jumping, most importantly having fun.”

    The Dumes - Liquor & High [Music Video Review]

    November 02, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A little retro never hurt anybody. The Dumes new single ‘Liquor & High’ a laidback alternative rock song with vintage L.A. vibes. The band tells a story of working hard and getting what you need with a little feisty humor. The lead singer stays consistent while her vocals are supported the guitar strings.”

      Leon Stanford - By Your Side [Music Video Review]

      November 02, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Music, Indie Pop

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “This is one of the first songs I really got excited about while writing on my iPhone smart keyboard before developing it more with Danny Owen on an old piano in my mate’s flat. The song is written for all to relate to about not giving up on love but one of the last lines of the song gives the true identity of the meaning.”
      — Leon Standford
      “What is love? Love is holding someone’s hand, standing by their side and walking with them through the hardships and the smiles. Leon Standford’s new single ‘By Your Side’ shows love over time and in many forms. He sings about holding on to eternity as you walk together. The piano keys are just as emotionally strong as his vocals and you can feel the love as he sings. ”

        STEF G x KILL MONDAY - Night Of The Undead (Prelude in B Minor) [Review]

        October 31, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Dubstep

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “It is Halloween after all, so here is a track to bring you all the vibes for the night.

        A spooky early build is appropriate for this night or anytime you want to conjure up a dark mood before lighting up the energy for a night of terrorizing, be it the neighborhood — or the dance floor.”

          Anna Straker - Boys Will Be Boys [Music Video Review]

          October 31, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Hip-Hop

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “The world is in flux, and yet some offer flippant platitudes such as ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ to excuse archaic and toxic stereotypes.

          Anna Straker is having none of it with this hard hitting Electro Pop Hip Hop fusion of Rock attitude. “‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is my feminist anthem to tear down the patriarchy,” explains Anna. “After recovering from a sexual assault last year, I realised what men are really capable of and this sarcastic anthem is my angry response to the double standards we face as women. I want to squash these stereotypes with my big platform boots and remind the world that women are more than sexual objects.”

          There is no denying her talent and voice on this track. ”

            SONNY - Place I Love [Music Video Review]

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “SONNY infuses his personal passion into this track. ‘Place I Love’ is a big spirited Pop anthem paying homage to his hometown, and while there are a few specifics to the lyrics anyone that feels a special bond and connection with a place they call home will get swept in by the boisterous energy and heartfelt emotions. The talented vocals certainly help the lsitern find that connection.”

              “An early line delivers this message ... What did you expect when dumb people got smart lines.

              I knew right then, Dax was saying something I wanted to hear. ‘GOTHAM’ puts a spin on the famous city of Batman fame by tying it to our everyday lives and the state of our society. DAX, as always, infuses passion into his flow and the writing is sharp and poignant, in this slow tempoed yet oh-so-powerful track. The video is as engaging as the single.”

                “There are a lot of pissed-off angry voices out there and everyone of them brings merit, though Conor Michael Smith brings a passion and ernest that unexpectedly hits harder than most.

                The emotions of the production behind him, especially that violin along with a hard hitting flow, really gripped me. Smith is part of a movement in this country that is demang change and this track is one of the anthems for that charge.”

                  “The storytelling aspect of this track held my intrigue and attention as the track delivers more in that capacity that I often hear. The delivery is smooth with just enough quirk to go with the unique lyrical hook of the chorus.

                  This is more Emo Hip-Hop than anything else but the writing grips hard and it is a hard song to look away from. ”

                    “Ella Collier offers a darker and more sinister spin of the fairytale with her version of ‘Cinderella.’

                    Coming with a Trap beat and Pop style vocals, Collier unfurls her take on the timeless tale with an alluring seduction that feels part Circus Ringmaster and part sexy siren as she lures you to lean in and listen to every last word.”

                      “Looking for something that hits a bit different than most things out there? Give this Hip-Hip flow and production a listen, because Da Odd Couple & Dr. Butcher’s new single, ‘No Sinpathy,’ blends haunting Halloween vibes with hard-hitting socio-political commentary from guest emcees Ray Lugar, CJ Moore, and Ke Turner in such a way that you can’t run from.

                      The vibe has a bit of eeriness for sure, and the on point lyrics cut like a knife, but as we all know the scariest shit out there is all real. And this track simply feels real.”

                        “Love, or at least the pursuit of it has embarrassed us all at some point and this dreamy Indie Pop/Rock track takes a look at those situations.

                        ’I Hate Love’ is an ode to all the embarrassing things you do when you are crazy about somebody who just won’t love you back. Stalking their online profiles, picking out an outfit just in case you happen to run into them (and working out in preparation for that same occasion), learning how to be a master chef in the kitchen, trying to manifest them back into your life by repeatedly saying their name into thin air. You know, normal stuff like that.” ~ Bushell on ‘I Hate Love’ ”

                          ’Caught Up’ is about those moments you are swept away to another time or place or mood by the music filling your ears. This track brings that power, as well as the observation making it complete the circle of engagement for me as a listener.”

                            “Love is hard enough when both parties are fully invested, but sadly many relationships are lopsided in their dedication and resolve. Being stuck in such a situation where the the one you’re committed to only wants to dip their toes in, makes you hope they will one day jump in and swim.

                            The tough emotional journey of coming to the conclusion you are treading water alone is never easy. GREYA does a masterful job of expressing those emotions in ‘Thrive’ a track about finding your courage and resolve in the face of a one-sided relationship. Powerful vocals and well-established Pop sensibilities carries this track forward and hold the listener for the duration.”

                              “The beat leads the way through this ‘Maze’ from VALDIS. The track has a nice Pop Funk vibe, and the vocal tone is the perfect accompaniment to the hard bass.

                              Lyrically, the track is about having to turn around and start over again and again, and this is track is simply one you will want to play over and over again so there is a bit of synchronicity in that fact. ”

                                Stark x Kestra - (Don't You) Darken My Door [Review]

                                “London songwriter and producer Stark, teams up with Soul singer Kestra on this track which jumps right in and grabs hold with both fists.

                                If Adele and Amy Winehouse were fused into one explosive performance, ‘Darken My Door’ is what I imagine that track would sound like. Big and bold and so full of talent, this is a track that demands your attention.”

                                  “Bringing the old school beats and bars vibe, GoodLook drops ‘Rich Dance’ on us. With a hearty dose of confident swagger, the track is about flashing them racks in the face of the world with no damn regard for what anyone else thinks. THe beat and rhythm keep the flow bouncing on this track, that doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but for damn sure puts a little flair on your next spin.”

                                    “A twisty little track with enough attitude and confidence to make it all work. Musically, I was reminded of Jack White a good bit, though vocally the track brings a Pop Punk kind of edge that hits just right. Lyrically, this track could have gone deeper, but the tone and tempo make work well giving the song solid footing. ”

                                      “Death is coming but now a days we are becoming so numb to it. Artist Clay Dub’s new single ‘Tell Me Why ft. Neezy’ delivers authentic pain and real life questions. Why is it when we see people die we can no longer cry?

                                      Shot in black and white to show more emotions this lyric video takes to the neighborhood, every day locations that turn into crime scene. The question is why? Why so many bodies laying on the ground? ”

The lyrical video is an illustration of the two with a deep piano sound. This is a certified retro chill song whether at your own house or your neighbor house. ”
