Riley Michaels - Someone Like You [Review]

May 28, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Riley Michaels offers up a classic sound that is perfect for those nights when you are sitting and drinking alone, or equally for ones where you pull the one you love close and slow dance across the warped wood of a dive bar or the smooth tile of your kitchen floor.

’Someone Like You’ is simply a classic sound that defies both genre and decade.”

    Gravity Circus - Shaky Little Dice Roll [Review]

    May 28, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Indie Rock, Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This track from Gravity Circus gave me White Stripes vibes right from the start. WIth a bendy and brooding arrangement the build and progression offers a bit of funky Rock and Roll spirit, with a hardcore edge lurking there in the background. This is a hard track to to join in and sing along with by the second run through the chorus. ”

      KINGS - ur a good bye [Review]

      May 28, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “KINGS comes with a vocal performance that hooks the listener immediately. ‘ur a good bye’ is shiny Pop gold, but that is not to say the emotion of the writing doesn’t emote through in the performance or writing. This is a big bold sound that wraps around you and makes you want to move and shout HELL YEAH! at the affirmations, because we’ve all had those good, goodbyes. ”

        81355 - Hard 2 Find [Review]

        May 27, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music

        Rating: 5 out of 5

        “81355 delivered a single that allows your mind to relax and discover yourself. In a spiritual yet wooded area the new single “Hard 2 Find” is about searching and running free in your mind. Not many will understand but the discovery is worth it.”

          “I’m not my father I won’t run away.”

          ”Kuttem Reese delivers hard core bars with a hard core beat in his new single “All 10” ft Chief Keef. Chief Keef has always been a classic artist in the rap game and to see him go hard on this single supports that. Kuttem Reese is coming strong on “All 10.”

                Grayson Ty - Fall Again [Review]

                May 23, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “ When your’e searching for love and just want to “Fall Again” there’s a bust of different emotions. Grayson Ty’s new single is about opening his heart again.The arrangement is a smooth ballad that takes a chance on love. ”
                — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

                The Western Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter has mastered the art of vulnerability. Entirely unpretentious, his stage presence is easy, genuine, and unguarded. In an era of so much disconnection and artifice, Grayson brings audiences together with his honest, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful, soothing voice.​​​​​​​​​

                Grayson’s impeccable songwriting brings out the best of his full range, from R&B crooning and folk-inspired storytelling to masterful pop riffs and earnest lyrics. He believes deeply in the
                connective power of music, working as a music therapist by day, and collaborating as co-writer with other songwriters.

                    “This track took top honors in what the New York Times describes as the Olympics of songwriting, and one listen is enough to see why.

                    ’Jocelyn’ is the tale of an Irish immigrant living in New York and brings to light both the triumphs and struggles of a different time and generation. A timeless, storytelling set of lyrics that offers both hope and heartbreak and a wealth of emotion are delivered in an emotive rasp reminiscent of Tom Waits.”

                      “Self described as a ‘Banger for Haters,’ emlyn is Back On Her Bullshit, or ‘B.O.M.B’ if you will. And the result is pure Electro Pop glory as she lays down a pissed off energy and emotional vibe for the engaging track.

                      Big bold vocals and an attitude that permeates every word and line are the fuse for this musical explosion.”

                        “Some artists and songs deliver such emotional power that they immediately hook you and make you feel both what the track is saying, as well as a pulling up feelings from your past. That is what Rushil’s single, ‘Hold This’ did for me. His Indian heritage shines through in places, and in others this feels like a deeply personal Singer/Songwriter type of single that defies a true genre. No matter what the emotion is palpable and undeniable.”

                            “Knock knock ... Who’s There? THat’s the question JEFFE asks, but this track is no joke. Evaluating ourselves, both in the mirror,a nd internally is something we all do and as our harshest critics sometimes we need a reminder to simply live our lives and stop seeking perceived perfection, because the truest beauty often comes from the flows and fears and all the stuff we often run from.

                            This Electro Pop track offers a catchy rhythm and a nice lyrical hook that grabs hold and refuses to let go. ”

                              “For everyone who who has boldly proclaimed IDGAF!, ‘I Don’t Care,’ is the title track for the soundtrack of your life. FAANGS infuses the single with attitude and a reserved brand of disdain for the world. The track is both an Electro Pop party anthem, and a self-reflective ode to doing your own thing all at the same time. And the video adds a nice touch of imagery to aid in the mood. ”

                                The Satellite Station - For The Coast [Review]

                                May 14, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Rock, Folk

                                “The Satellite Station offers up a haunting distant sound that perfectly convey the emotions of this track. ‘For The Coast’ is a melancholic ode reflection about starting over and finding the courage to venture out an reinvent yourself in some new and unexpected way. ”

                                  Joel Ansett - Expectations [Review]

                                  May 14, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop
                                  “Joel Ansett deliver the smooth vulnerable vocals and emotional vibes that define the singer/songwriter genre on his latest track, ‘Expectations.’ We have all wrestled with our expectations, and this track does an exemplary job of putting that struggle into a tangle song that is easy to fall in on and lose yourself in thought. ”

                                    “This track offers a nice Latin Pop vibe in conjunction with a Rap flow and the two mesh and blend well to bring out the flavor of the track. ‘Love Is The Answer] comes with a nice hook and energy straight away and in that it is easy to lose the world around you and fall into the track. Nice tune to add to any summer vibes playlist. ”

                                      “Hilary Watson has the kind of timeless vocals that fits most any time period or genre. Stepping away from her normal vocal duo in this solo effort, Watson offers up a bluesy roots sound that comes with a bit of a wry twist, lyrically. ”

                                        “Lisa Heller captures both the nostalgia and the angst of going home again. That line between fond reminisce and sad regret for the passage of time, is one we have all felt and ‘18’ captures the dynamic only as a talented singer/songwriter can express. ”
