John Adams - Ripcord [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Skydivers pull their ‘Ripcord’ to stop their freefall and open the parachute to safely land. This song is about falling in love and how their is no ripcord or safety device to make falling in love gentle and easy.

John Adams offers a timeless vocal style that is both emotive and heartfelt. This is a track to add to your relationship playlists or to share with the one you are falling for. The track offers a big bold progression that easily carries you along.”

R3HAB x Sigala x JP Cooper -Runaway [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“The way life has been going this past year “the music is getting louder and the drinks are getting stronger”. R3HAB x Sigala x JP Cooper “Runaway” visually focuses on making memories instead of running away from your feelings. We must not let life get the best of us to where we are no longer enjoying it.”

IAMJYOUNGIN - Choppa [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Choppa” is cutting sound with this hard beat and a strong dominant lyrical delivery. IAMJYOUNGIN new single “Choppa” is about being ready when your enemies come for you. Visually shot in a theatrical house location the video manages to give a stereotypical location symbolism. ”

S.O. - Kinda Love [Music Video Review]

Review: 5 out of 5

“This song is a whole vibe. From the visuals to the outfits and even the beat you can feel the love. S.O.’s new single “Kinda Of Love” off his latest EP Larry Ginni Crescent; shows two people spending time with one another while lyrically exemplifying what they mean to one another. ”

— Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]

“This project has been something I’ve wanted to do for a while and the lockdown opened the door for that. I got to collaborate with two special Nigerian producers TBabz and SteveRawd, as well as my long-time collaborator GP. Not only am I a Nigerian but I am also a Christian and that comes out in this project. So ‘Larry Ginni Crescent’ can be described as deeply Christian and deeply Nigerian. From the songs about faith, to songs about love, everything connects to this one point – al that we do, all that we experience, can be used for our art. I hope it moves you”.”

Only Bricks - Antisocial [Review]

Review: 4 out of 5

“Only Bricks’s new single “Antisocial” takes you from party mode to not wanting to be around anyone but yourself. The song is less party more pity party. It explains the thoughts of an introvert and someone who tries to be social but always find a way to hide. ”

Chloe Lilac - 10 Things [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Chloe Lilac does not pull any punches in her latest single, ‘10 Things.’ Never piss of a writer and especially a songwriter as they can and will use those emotions to fight back. The writing here is strong and the emotion behind the delivery works well in this revenge track of sorts. There is a Pop, almost Punk vibe that hooks the listener in and keep them invested in the lyrical build. ”

DJ Zenas x Ramond - The Spot [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Labor Day brings both party vibes, and a subtle brand of sadness as you realize summer is coming to an end. This track from DJ Zenas captures both of those vibes.

’The Spot’ comes with a groove and rhythm that feels like sipping a cold drink beside a warm pool, but the party is coming to an end and with that limited time this single feels like a Sunday afternoon as another long weeks looms ahead.

The dynamics here gives you all the feels.”

Madisyn Gifford - Nice Things [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Madisyn Gifford has that unique tone and quality that makes you feel as if she is a close persona’ friend you’ve known her for years. ‘Nice Things’ feels like a confessional of sorts, but in that fun and joking kind of way that friends banter.

This Pop track simply feels real and genuine and keeps you leaning in start to finish. The writing takes a unique spin on the usual break up tropes we’ve all heard so often.”

Tom Mackell - Gone [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Tom Mackell honors his mother and all of those who touch our lives and are ‘Gone’ far too early. The emotive track serves as a good reminder without dipping into the morose or forced sentimentality. The track has an Americana vibe and for those not familiar of with the genre think of Springsteen and Petty with a dash of bluesy country to the overall sound. This is simply a well-written and meaningful song delivered with heart.”

DxBoY - Lit Again [Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“DxBoy makes the most of this Trap beat and flow. ‘Lit Again’ is an ode to escaping lockdown and getting out there in the world alongside people and finding your vibe. The track comes with an easy beat to fall in on the groove and the lyrical flow hooks and holds the listener as well. Short but no so short that the flow doesn’t grab you and make its point. ”
