“It’s the season where everyone wants to work out. ‘Hey Sexy’ is a single that motivates everyone to stretch and conquer their inner sexy. Real Shawp’s delivery is smoove as he gets interactive in the video as an aerobics instructor. The song isn’t fast nor is it slow and the beat has a tempo that keeps you interested. ”
“ Listening to the string of the guitar takes you away. As the tempo moves into the song more “Letting Go” is the musical tone of a neo-soul night. The Naked Eye presents feelings through music.”
“Life is a battle. We keep so much inside that our thoughts become a battle. Intrn and w00ds introduce us to a new single ‘I Deserve More’. It’s about having a revolution of wanting more and knowing you deserve more. The delivery is calm and the tempo stays the same but you are pulled in by the songwriting. We all deserve someone who loves us just as much as we love them. ”
Lyrics: (Verse 1) I can’t keep this up Sometimes words aren't enough And I’m struggling to be here Let my head wander off ‘Cause I’d rather be lost Than to face all I’ve run from this year (Pre-Chorus) And I’m grasping On to anything Disregarding the truth that I (Chorus) I deserve more I deserve someone who loves me too I deserve more I deserve someone who loves like I do (Verse 2) I wish you the best And it’s hard to admit But I know that I’ll figure it out While I’m banging my head Hanging on by a thread ‘Cause I’m scared that I may have missed out (Pre-Chorus) And I’m grasping On to anything Disregarding the truth that I (Chorus) I deserve more I deserve someone who loves me too I deserve more I deserve someone who loves like I do X2 (Outro) I deserve more I deserve someone who loves me too I deserve more I deserve someone who loves like I do
“The escalating tempo hooked me on this track. Coming with a staccato flow infused with attitude, Mo Nicole rides the beat letting her lyrical punches land with precision. After a steady build, the flow backs off which allows the words to carry more emotion as the message sinks in with depth.”
“The world is full of them ... people we don’t like for a variety of reasons. ‘I Hate You’ is a tongue in cheek Pop track with a hearty dose of observation about the people who annoy us all.
Sara says on the track, ‘Peter and I were talking about how people will always say, ‘man, I hate that guy.’ So we wanted to figure out who ‘that guy’ was and write a song about how much we hate him. It turned into a very cool song about a very annoying person. I think you’ll hate him too.’”
“Loudmouth Lisa delivers hard-edged American Rock and Roll with wry intellectual lyrics. The lyric video is a must, so that you can truly digest the full punch of the songwriting.
Don’t be a sucker, give ‘One Born Every Minute’ a listen and add it to you anacrchist playlist. Don’t have an anarchist playlist? Then perhaps you aren’t paying attention to the sheepherders trying to corral you. Loudmouth Lisa is not only paying attention, but providing a bad ass soundtrack to the rebellion.”
“With a voice far more mature than her age, seventeen-year-old, Sophia Fracassi drops ‘Wish I Never Met,’ a deeply emotional track that feels tender and raw and entirely immersive. Big bold Pop vocals are the driving force, but the piano melody adds a nice layer and depth to the overall arrangement.”
“Pure musical energy! Arkells is joined by K. Flay on this track on this Poppish Rock track about going after what you want. Don’t hold back! ‘You Can Get It’ is the kind of track that will get you up on your feet and moving both literally and metaphorically.
A great add to your energetic and motivational playlists.”
“The vocal tone here is unique and mesmerizing. A native of Sweden, Sara displays an emotional softness on this track that draws the listener in deep. There are defiente Pop styling to this track, but ‘Do Better’ exudes a sultry vulnerability that goes beyond the genre and feels almost folksy in a Commercial leaning way. ”
“If you like your music with a hard edge, and razor sharp attitude, ZillaKami has the sound you are craving.
’Chains’ is a take no prisoners type of track with a hard guttural delivery, and an industrial sounding guitar that drives the backing and brings out the grittiness of this writing and performance.”
“JESSIA utilizes her sharp vocal talent and smooth Pop style to deliver her body positive affirmations. ‘I’m Not Pretty’ utilizes catchy word play and a dazzling chorus to make the point that we all gotta be who we are, and chasing the rainbow of others is a utter waste of our time.”
“With a nice classic Rock sound Okay Mann drops this track about standing up to all of life’s challenges. The last year and life in general can throw ‘A Lot’ at us and it is easy to get weighed down, but knowing you are not alone and having a song to sing along as you mentally work through your paces is an uplifting thing, and this track certainly allows for just that. ”
“Dazy Chain is feeling ‘Cool’ and you will too when this track is playing in your ears. A nice blend of retro vibe and contemporary flow brings this track to life. The groove and verve of the chorus makes this one just settle down in your bones.”
“Peaky Blinders meets Ray Wylie Hubbard. Chances are most of you have no idea who Ray Wylie Hubbard is but this track put me in mind of the Outlaw Texas songwriter.
Opus Kink hails from Brighton, England and this track has a gritty Cowboy PUnk/ British fusion vibe that simply works in a dark gritty way.”
“A nice melodic groove brings this track alive. Smooth and soulful like something between Bieber and Bruno, this Pop groove works well. The hook of the melody and the straightforward lyrical presentation lends themselves to joining in and singing along. Simply a fun, self-reflective track.”
“Hailing from Manchester,England, The France might confuse some with their moniker, but this British band don’t mind shaking convention.
’Forever Too Long’ is a love song built upon yearning, and many of us have been missing someone after a year of isolation so this intensely personal song, brings a decidedly broader relevance in today’s time. This is the kind of track shared by lovers forced to be apart, or by anyone who has a soft spot in their heart they can’t quite reach because of outside obstacles. ”
“Riley Pearce taps into the human psyche with ease, both in the writing and the performance. Delivering a sound that lands somewhere between Springsteen and Coldplay, this Aussie evokes strong emotion with a slow, yet steady build that matches the tone of the lyrics step for step. Can’t wait to hear more from this artist. ”
“Straddling that line behind a Commercial sound and Indie Folk, LA based group, Wax Owls, have that clean emotional delivery that hooks listeners across a wide spectrum of tastes. ‘By My Side’ is a nostalgic look at utopian childhood and simply makes you happy to listen. ”
“Passion goes a long way into making an artist’s vision come through in a way others can feel. That is the strength of ‘Nobody’s Daughter’ by Blume Hinges. The style is a little bit Punk, a little bit Indie Rock, with just a hint of Southern Rock and Americana in the mix. The writing is strong and the delivery meaningful in that raw, angsty way that works so well for tracks like this. ”
“Stuck in a crappy relationship, and getting caught in that on-again/off-again whirlpool is a tough one and what this track managed to do was capture that stressful up and down emotional grind. The production nailed it, and the flow feels spot on in its delivery of the dynamics of this volatile situation”
