“Coming with a bit of nostalgia in the writing, this is an Electro Pop ode to the memories we all have. Those bits of ourselves that linger long past the innocence of youth and the awkward uncertainty we fell in the presence of those we were and are attracted to.”
“Some songs win you over simply by feeling real and genuine. Dawson Gamble’s latest, ‘What You Don’t Know’ is one of them.
Starting out soft and vulnerable, the well-written lyrics hook you with their authenticity before the track insiifies and layers in a bit more of a Rock/Pop sound to go with the early singer/songwriter vibe. Though in truth, genre is less important than the erstwhile emotions on a track like this.”
“Tony Sergi comes in with a nice groove, and Pop kind of sound that takes a quick hard left turn that surprises and hooks you in. Pulling no punches, this energetic groove is one that will have you dancing and wryly smiling.
But perhaps Tony describes it best ... ‘Your Heart Has To Go’ is pretty much a happy break up
song, a middle finger to all the past lovers that screwed you around. An anthem for all those who have been fucked over. ~ Tony ”
“Sam Winston engages the listener with a soft and vulnerable vocal refrain, that belies the emotional impact of the song’s title. ‘Damaged Goods’ is a stripped down kind of track, that lets the emotion of the writing and performance do the heavy lifting.
We all have our doubts of worthiness and misgivings that we we are worthy, and at times, that leads to self-sabotage so listening to tracks like this helps us realize we are not alone in these thoughts and we truly are as worthy as any other person. ”
“To put it simply, James Deacon isn’t taking any shit from anyone. Fueled by the hardships, and the no’s of critiques, he boldly confronts their words in this rocking track and video.
The hard beat and attitude-filled delivery makes it clear that the naysayers have only motivated Deacon to greater heights. Some artists refuse to be denied, and it is that unstoppable force that sparks the embers that ignite their career. Keep your eyes and ears on Deacon, as he is legit ready to explode.”
“This is an Indie Rock track that delivers an almost stream of conscious vibe that reminded me of the arrangement for “Bittersweet Symphony.’ Marlow does deliver an slightly different energy on their single, ‘Different Lives’ than that classic hit from The Verve, but fans will certainly appreciate both.
The lyrical message is one that is simple, yet highlights emotions and a position that we’ve all found ourselves in.”
“Losing the one you love is never easy, and sometimes we are desperate to hold on just a little bit longer. That is the emotion behind ORLA’s single, ‘Close To Me,’ and in that scared vulnerability we sometimes find an unexpected strength.
This track is a soulful, in Pop kind of way, and the melody adds as much impact as the words though the vocal performance certainly carries its weight in emoting the passion of the track. ”
“Brit Fox has been described as the female Rick Rubin, but truth be told, Fox’s talents stand on their own and need no comparison. Joined here by 10 Bagz, Fox deliver the sultry attitude and energy with a brand new single , ‘Lasso.’
This is a banger that works for the club or rolling down the boulevard. Coming with energy and a hint of bounce, this track will indeed wrap around you like a placed lasso.”
“For any and everyone that has ever felt that building ... Aww fuck it mindset — this track is for you. Sometimes you just gotta live your life, and ‘One More and The Bill’ is about doing just that.
A big, bold singalong kind of Alternative Rock vocal arrangement makes it easy to belt out the chorus alongside The Dirty Nil as you go ahead and order one more round before facing the bill and the rest of the world.”
“Can a track be both low key smooth and hype at the same time? If so, ‘Lights,’ the newest offering from Darci might pull of the trick.
Coming with a tranquil calm vibe, this flow is delivered with an almost detached allure, though lyrically the track is about the potential of the night and the excitement it just might bring about.”
“A smooth crooners melancholic refrain, ‘December 26,’ is a an easy track to fall in to and unwrap. An ode to the day after the festivities, when we realize that spending time with family and connection has long been overshadowed by the pursuit of of the perfect gift and all of the commercial trappings that the season brings.”
“Who is ready for some energetic Disco infused Club music? ‘Uh Huh, I like It’ from .wavrunner brings a Rap flow, but feels more like a mash of 70s Disco funk and West Coast Club music than anything else. The groove is magical and the spirit a vibe all of its own. Get on board and get moving with this track.”
“Love on the sly brings that extra little bit of excitement and this ubeat track from TROY certainly captures that spark and secretive allure with its own tone and vibe.
’Undercover’ leans more Commercial Pop, but does deliver just a hint of a Funk groove that works well. No doubt this is a track that will be shared between covert lovers, but no matter who you are, you can appreciate the passion and energy. ”
“Tommy Newport has captured magic by blending an old soul vibe, with a modern progression and build on his latest single, ‘Warp Speed Suzie.’
The Funk might draw comparisons to Bruno, but there was a verve and confidence about the performance that also reminded me of Timberlake, not in tone, but attitude. This is the kind of track you hear once and by the end feel like its a song you’ve been jamming to for a decade.”
“A big bold Pop ballad for every person that has ever felt unworthy of that good, spectacular, or hopeful thing that came their way.
Often, we are each our own worse critics, and we need a different voice to remind us we are worthy or capable, or deserving. Jillian Rossi offers that here in musical form, so if you are feeling any kind of self-doubt, put this track on and remind yourself that you are indeed worthy of everything that comes your way.”
“Sometimes a track just works with a simplistic, heartfelt delivery. ‘The Way It Is’ landed for me in such a way.
Evan from Heaven delivers the track with a stripped down, no frills flow that works in a genuine and honest way. The production behind the track stays out of the way, while still managing to add a bit of emotion to the groove. I did find myself wishing the track were a little longer and took the lyrics just a bit further.”
“A twist sound between a boyband and Justine Bieber. Hrishi’s new single ‘Like A Ghost’ is about being surrounded by people but still feeling invisible. The visual is a unique illustration of moments in life using different imagery to stand for feelings and connections. The song is smooth, direct and straight to the point explaining that you can love everyone and still feel like a ghost. ”
“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 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”
Listen to the single "Fight For You". Out now! Stream: https://music.empi.re/fightforyou.oyd #OtisKane #FightForYou #OtisRecords Official audio by Otis Kane ...
“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.”
