WoBandz - SouthBeach [Review]

November 18, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap

Rating: 4 out of 5

“I was skeptical at first from the first few seconds. However, once the song took off I started rocking with it hard. WoBandz ‘s new single ‘SouthBeach’ is about moving how you want to move and living life to the fullest. The beat is defiantly a banger you can’t take your ears away from. i even had to run it back one more time. ”

    Otis Kane - Fight For You [Review]

    November 18, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Contemporary R&B, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Otis Kane is Soul!!!!

    His new single ‘Fight For You’ begins with a passive tone. His tone leads us into him explaining the roller coaster called love. Love is a battle but the ups and downs is what makes love so strong. As he pours his vocals into the song the solo guitar performance leads us into the ending”

      Patrik Jean - Consequence [Music Video Review]

      November 18, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Commercial

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “Sometimes life is like like a game. We try our best to play regardless of the consequences. Patrik Jean’s new single ‘Consequence’ puts his life in a blueprint. He sings about being hurt and wanting to love but being reminded how much he hates starting over. The visual artistry shows how life can’t always be packed in boxed and sometimes great things break.”

        Kayla Diamond - I Should Have Listened to my Friends [Review]

        November 14, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Kayla Diamond drops this Electro Pop ode to a love gone bad that surprised no one — except perhaps the one broken heart.

        ’I Should Have Listened to My Friends’ is the kind of retrospective knowledge we have all experienced a few times in life. The smooth easy talent of Diamond’s vocals make the words feel true as the production swells and ebbs as needed to bring the emotion home.”

          ELEON - Fast Little Getaway (feat. Mayila) [Review]

          November 14, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Commercial, Singer/Songwriter

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Losing the one you love is never easy, and sometimes they are gone before you even know it. That is what ‘Fast Little Getaway’ is about.

          ELEON delivers the early vocals with a smooth R&B groove infused with a bit of Electro Pop stylings, before Mayila comes in with an emotional apology of sorts that lends a different point of view on the pain of heartbreak.”

            “Kit DH drops a bit of funk flavor with this Rap track that fuses a fast flow, with a nice groove and beat that keeps you leaning in. Adding some bounce on the back end ‘Ten’ holds your focus as those hard hitting lines sink in and take root. Count ‘em up! ”

              Olivia Deane - Christmas Without You [Review]

              November 13, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Holiday, Commercial

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “Olivia Deane delivers a nice soulful, yet appropriately melancholic vibe with this Holiday track about missing that special someone at Christmas time.

              ’Christmas Without You’ captures the emotion and sadness of missing the one you love and often those feeling are all the more acute as the Holidays set in.”

                “Labeled as so-called nasty women in certain political circles, the strong and fiercely independent ladies of this world have something to say and damn it, they refuse to be silenced. CHEL is among the proud, the brave, the bold — and on this Soulful Pop track, she makes her ‘Nasty Woman’ proclamations in loud, talented tones that draw a line in the sand for anyone looking for a fight.”

                  “What do you get when New York and Pennsylvania hit the studio together?

                  Infectious lyrics and a beat that prepares you for a hit ‘4RealTho’. Day Lee’s new single is full of energy from a vintage perspective. With PnB Rock vocals accompanying the sound the two are seen hitting the streets and jamming to the beat.”

                          “Feeling like a track straight out of a Peaky Blinders episode, ‘Vampires’ is a dark, bluesy track with a brooding build and a sinister underbelly.

                          The Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds influence is there, but so is a bit of Johnny Cash and Jack White. Call it Southern Gothic meets Euro Waltz, but if you are in the right mindset, this heavy track will feel right at home in your ears. ”

                            This is singer/songwriter Holiday Music for sure and it is hard not to get swept in and imagine your own Christmas ideals as you listen to her beautiful voice.”

                              “Having to let the one you love go, not because the love has faded or endured some great betrayal, but rather simply because life and outside circumstances have gotten in the way, is a bitter pill to swallow. That longing brand of emotional pain emits from every verse of Beth De Bacci’s single ‘Loved Like This.’ A tender Pop ballad about doing the right thing — even when it hurts so bad.”

                                Angelina Jordan - Million Miles [Music Video Review]

                                “Sometimes my initial reaction as a reviewer is simply ... WOW! That was the case here and that was before I dove into the bio to discover the artists I was listening to, Angelina Jordan is a mere 14 years old.

                                The power and depth of talent is stunning at any age, and yes, I was reminded of Adele as I listened, but I dislike such comparisons because while they form a starting point, they can easily define or pigeonhole a new artist and to that is a disservice. So with that in mind let me say ... Angelina Jordan is a star in her own right and ‘Million Miles’ is a big bold track that sweeps you up.

                                Of course Jordan is no stranger to stardom, as the winner of Norway’s Got Talent at only 8-years-old. Now calling Los Angeles home this young artist certainly does have a ‘Million Miles’ in front of her.”

                                  “A sweet tender love song, not about the euphoria of falling in love, but rather the slow steady burn of a growing love. This track was written as a 10th Anniversary gift from Timothy Ray to his wife.

                                  ’Dancing In The Kitchen’ captures the devotion and understanding that only comes with time and that bond of sharing everyday life. And this is a track that couples can certainly join hands and dance together in the kitchen.”

                                    “Here is your chance to catch a rising star and tell your friends you were listening way back when.

                                    Rosie Darling has that rare ability to bring vocal power and keep the tender and emotional edge so that you feel every word even more than you appreciate the big incredible talent. This track merely hints at even more vocal capabilities, but you certainly come away understanding they are in there. More importantly, you come away feeling every last word of this track about the discovery your own emotional capabilities. ”

                                      “The holidays are coming soon and given the stress of this past year the season will no doubt bring out increased emotional pain for some folks. This is not a new phenomenon, but could be more acute this year.

                                      Dylan Dunlap gives us a melancholic track about this very thing and despite being a sad song, sometimes listening to such is exactly what we need so that we can understand we are not alone. ‘Another Holiday’ is a track that won’t necessarily uplift but can make you feel understood. Addressing the feelings of sadness is important as well so embrace your sadness if you need to and speak out f need be as the season descends upon us. Dylan Dunlap delivers a genuine emotional track that is relatable for so many of us. ”

                                        “Otto may look young but his talent is everlasting. His debut single ‘Tell Me Something’ gives an antique feel while his love is seen overshadowing him. He admires her and how she makes him smile. Otto adds to the production with a hand clap within a classic beat. ”
