Khamari - Doctor, My Eyes [Review]

November 14, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, R&B, Alternative

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A soft acoustical track of heartfelt vulnerability, ‘Doctor, My Eyes’ is not the track you might expect, but it is the track you need.

Khamari showcases his artistic talents in both the delivery and the writing of this emotionally laden single. This is a song you feel as much as hear, and it definitely conveys a mood of melancholy and hopeful observance than we have all felt from time to time.”

    TweezDaSwaggyGod - Trip [Music Video Review]

    November 14, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Trap, Rap, Autotune

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Offering a deeply personal take on the world, TweezDaSwaggyGodtakes us on a steady ‘Trip’ that hooks and engages start to finish. The flow is deliberate and impactful in its honest portrayal of his past and intended future. The delivery here has heart and the writing is genuine in its emotion and intent. The beat gets out of the way for the most part, but offers enough punch to help bring out the lyrical blows.”

      Faded Rose - Judgment Day [Review]

      November 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Americana, Alternative, Country, Singer/Songwriter

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Faded Rose delivers a sound that falls somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Maranda Lambert. Perhaps a touch more commercial than Lucinda, but still with that jaded and ticked off attitude. Faded Rose is not quite as commercial as Lambert, but still possesses that same strong feminine determination that has made Miranda a star. ‘Judgement Day’ is a well-written track with emotion and musical punch to make you feel it deep in your bones.”

        FANGZ - Won't Be Me [Review]

        November 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Punk, Rock

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Energy and passion can make make for an engaging track, and when the musical talent shines just as boldly as those elements — the music truly comes alive. FANGZ has created just such a track with ‘Won’t Be Me,’ a hard charged Punk anthem about sticking with a relationship even as the wheels fall off. You know it is doomed, but still you want for the end rather than bring it about.”

          Ottomatick - Wait A Minute (Ft. Wild Hypnotik) [Review]

          November 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Trap, Hip-Hop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Ottomatick drops ‘Wait A Minute,’ a track that immediately establishes a mood with haunting vocals that he accentuates with his deliberate flow and writing. A track that speaks in multiple voices to deliver emotion and intrigue. The flow here isn’t fast or furious but it dies come with passion and intent the give and take between the two deliveries adds to the feeling of being swept along. ”

            “Fuhr conjures thoughts of Avicii on the track ‘Goodbye.’ Described as a love song that you can dance to, the single comes alive thanks to both a talented vocal performance and a spot on production that adds energy and emotion to layer up the piece and make it truly feel alive. ”

              The Manic Boys And Girls Club - Blacked Out [Music Video Review]

              November 08, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rock, Indie Pop, Indie Rock

              Rating: 5 out of 5

              “Everyone enjoys a night out but then there are the nights were we try to escape. The Manic Boys And Girls Club latest single “Blacked Out” is about one night out of being free and escaping the world and its issues. The bond between the artists are amazing and the visual aspect allows you to really experience the mindset someone has when they escape and black out, just or wake up alone. ”

                “This is a track that you find yourself clapping and singing along in a happy place.

                  “Lil Migo has a hard appeal. He vocally reminds me of Young Dolph to where the beat drops and there’s no hesitation in the flow. He digs deep into the ways of life and in his world its always go time. He switches it up to a more personal direction when he stops rapping and starts talking but he still keeps the vibe going. ”

                      “There’s good and there’s bad. Some people have to decide which part of them they want to listen to. The Astronomers new single “Bad Type” is pointing out the things people tend to do wrong without really knowing they are doing it. Lies or stretching the truth can make someone bad when it comes to feelings. The song overall has a nice tempo and ends with a powerful outro. ”

                        “Zo delivers power and passion and of course talent on this track. “Never Meant’ is the track Stevie Nicks and Florence and the Machine would team up to create and the emotion is tangible in every single line. The passion lands with razor sharp talons and grabs on like a raptor intent to instill its will. That might sound harsh, but this track is anything but. Simply intense and purposeful.”

                            Coming with a Commercial Pop Punk sound ‘PSYCHOPATH’ delivers an up and down tempo that matches the impact of the writing and keeps the listener guessing what will come next as they lean in and lose the world around them.”

                              “We have all been burned by our ‘Feelings,’ and this track is a soft slow building track that makes us feel that rising tide of emotion once again.

                              The vocals are vulnerable and invite you in and the production gets out of the way while still instilling an added layer to to the mood of this smooth track. This is one to add to your playlist you go to when your heart is heavy and the world feels like it has the upper hand.”

                                This track is an anthem you can belt out when the world has backed you into a corner. Solid Alternative Rock with an edge and hint of Pop Punk/Hip-Hop fusion.”

                                  Sarah Gross - Amy [Review]

                                  “Sarah Gross joins a growing movement of talented women pouring their heart and soul out with Folk driven Americana. Currently, Brandi Carlilse is the name many associate with this sound, but Gross offers a softer vocal style that stands on its own. This track, like the rest of the EP is written about the New York town she grew up in and the rich slate of characters that Gross walked beside over the years.”

                                    Harper Starling - Cannot Tell A Lie [Review]

                                    “Look out Pop World, Harper Starling is storming onto the scene with talented pipes and attitude aplenty.

                                    ’Cannot Tell A Lie’ is the kind of track that rallies the women fed up with men’s shit, and that makes it a power anthem of sorts, but as a man myself I too can appreciate the talent and energy behind both the performance and the writing.

                                    A fun track that has a life all its own!”

                                      Jaci Butler - Straight to the Bank [Review]

                                      “Jaci Butler comes straight at you with a flow that is more Punk Pop than Hip-Hop. The track grabs and holds you through the entre progression.

                                      Get ready to party with this single that takes you ‘Straight to the Bank.’ I was reminded of Gwen Stefani for sure, but Butler brings enough verve and energy of her own to make this track stand out as more than a single inspired by the works of others. This is a fun party vibe and one that works quite well.”

                                        Kellen Joseph - Shade of Blue [Review]

                                        “LA artist, Kellen Joseph offers up this emotive and vulnerable Rock track dealing with grief. The emotive vocal talent brings to life the well-written track that instills the sense of loss and confusion when the entire world seems to be moving on and you are still stuck in that place of sorrow.

                                        This track has just a hint of Hip-Hop vibe, but really is more in line with the Alternative Rock sound of the late 90s or early 2000’s.”
