“Electro Folk? That might not be an established genre, but this track certainly delivers both elements. On this track, Will Kline sounds like an Avicii/Mumford collaboration.
Lyrically, the track is hopeful and earnest in its wanderlust, and musically it is right at home as a low-key dance number. The end result is a light airy track with a solid beat and a progression that keeps you leaning in for more.”
“The ragged edge of emotion is the trademark of this track from indy. ‘Okay,’ teeters at the precipice for the duration and every so often the rage and angst bursts forth. It is those moments that hold this track together and make it truly stand out.
The verses are delivered in a measured, almost controlled way, devoid of emotion, much the same way many of us go through life until something hits and it all explodes. This track puts that dynamic in musical form with the single walking that Commercial/ Alternative edge in its sound.”
“Coming right at you with a straight up lyrical free flow, Rich Yung Zaya keeps you on your toes trying to catch the references and sharp word play. The flow on this track is delivered without unnecessary or added embellishments, just straight up old-school verve and attitude.
Fans of 50 Cent and that style will want to check out this artist and all he has to offer.”
“Jared Minnix is an accomplished guitarist out of Nashville that is increasingly making his name as not only a talented instrumentalists, but as a Pop vocalist and songwriter as well. Minnix captures a light almost airy vibe with ‘Carhartt Beanies,’ a track that feels both nostalgic and upbeat at the same time. The delivery is infectious and the words are easy to fall in and sing along with making this a track to add to your summer playlists. ”
“In a metaphoric title Jehkai talks about his life in his new single “This Ain’t The Life”. He visually walks us through the hardships he experience growing up from selling drugs to being arrested and even homeless. His voice is unique but you can hear and see the truth in every lyric . ”
“Despite the title “Reckless” is a peaceful melody with lyrics of pain and hurt. The theatrical visual shows Madison Beer traveling through dreams as she tells the story of how someone was reckless with her heart leaving her through a spiral of emotions. The overall visual reminds you of the movie Peter Pan and how Tinkerbell would feel if her heart was broken.”
Sometimes you lay in the bed and just pause on life. You think of everything that is going on around you. Ricci Paolo new single "On The Run" is about forgetting. He can't smoke enough or drink enough to escape his thoughts. Alone in a house he feels stuck and ready to run away from it all. The flow is an emotional yet stern mood over a cinematic production.
“Yung Honcho’s delivery is straight forward in his new single “Same 24”. In a collection of visuals he talks on his experience and highlights his talents. “Same 24” is not just a song but his testimony.”
“We often consume others energy whether we want to or not. Vanessa Marie Carter’s new single “Yours To Lose” is about heart break. She role plays all the scenarios of a break up but it is clear that it is not her fault. Nashville is known to be the musical country hub and this Vancouver native is in the right place with her talents.”
“Rico Freeman kept me on the hook for this ride with a siren like beat, and an unbalanced cadence that kicks off a vibe that takes the flow right to the ragged edge.
You can call this a hype track if you must, but it simply feels like a declaration of confidence for me. Add this track to your energetic playlists when you need that jolt of motivation. ”
“Drop that top down, and cruise along slow with the easy groove of ‘Cream’ riding along with you. Nalij and Kantshes offer up this classic laid back flow to complete the vibe and make it feel like the warm sunshine is on your face, and a cool breeze is at your back.”
“Dance Pop magic! That is what Netherland band, TalkSick has given us with ‘2 Complicated.’ This is the tough to pull off dance track that works as perfectly well riding alone in your car, or out on the dance floor. You can truly feel this one, or you can simply get lost int he beat and rhythm depending where your head is at the moment. ”
“You often hear stories and songs about how going off to college is the beginning of the end for high school loves, but people tend to look at those relationships as more crushes and cases of puppy love than anything else. This track takes the dynamic of a college relationship and how it is tested when both parties go back home for the summer. Sung with a tender vulnerability and delicate beauty the track captures what it feels like as we grow up emotionally. ”
“Flora Cash’s new single “Don’t You Look At Me That Way” are soft vocals over piano keys. The emotive pop song engages every emotion as it paints a picture of a dramatic love story. The desire to be save mentally and emotionally as the call for help is delivered through the tempo of the song.”
“Anytime an artist in any medium lays themselves bare, the end result is going to speak to many of us. Such is the case with Andrew Cushin and his new track.
‘Memories’ is a song where the 20-year-old artist poignantly explores the question of what masculinity means in the present day. This is tender, emotional songwriting that speaks to the human psyche in all the best ways.”
“Coming in with an early-200s vibe, this track establishes a souldful groove from the start but the unique vocal tones of Tyra Jutai soon take over and carry us for quite the lyrical ride.
The hedonistic track, ‘Rebound’ (ft. City Fidelia), explores the rebound period after a relationship ends when all you want is a distraction – whether it be drinking, drugs, sex or music – to get over your heartbreak.”
“Impersonator is a person who pretends to be someone else. Katy for Kings new single “Impersonator” shows her in three different scenarios of life. She explains that she is who she is and cannot replace anyone else. Men often depict an image and try to compare but in this visual Katy is clear she cannot impersonate her”
“The realization you don’t need that toxic person in your life is truly liberating and Jake Scott has put that revelation into song form here on ‘Anymore.’
The track has a nice soft build and a singer/songwriter vibe that is easy to connect with and fall in on the lyrical progression.”
“We’ve all been told that time heals all wounds, but some cuts are too deep to ever truly “get over.” April Jai drops this deeply personal track that takes the emotion of being hurt, and makes us feel it, and rethink how such trauma changes who we are.
The track is beautifully performed and the melody adds to the well-written words and while the song is sad, there is a tinge of hope as well. Sometimes, the knowledge that those who are struggling, are not doing so alone, is enough to ease the burned upon our shoulders. That’s what good art can do for us all. ”
“Sultry and seductive, Rallie unfurls ‘Too Good’ in tantalizing fashion. The track has the sexual energy of a classic Prince song and the devilish spirit of good girls gone bad.
A fun listen with enough of a Pop style production to give it a glossy Commercial vibe. This feels like a 2021 Summer hit in the waiting. ”
