“Written as she struggled to comprehend and deal with her grief after the sudden and untimely death of her father, ‘Half Awake’ is a the powerful new track from Australia’s GRAACE. The emotive vocal delivery comes with tangible emotion, and the slow build musically mirrors the steps our minds take while trying to shake off such lasting grief.
GRAACE’s talent is evident in every word of these lyrics, and every syllable of this performance.”
“Music is a great tool for turning around a bad mood, and ‘Bucket Hat’ from Sydney Lauren is a song all about turning your mindset around and finding a groove that makes you feel better. The energy and vocal performance are easy to relate to and connect with — making this a track capable of turning around your own day. ”
“Urban O has gifted vocals. The new single “Dance On Me” draws you in to a night of entertainment and fun but leaves you wondering. The vocals will have you engaged and the rap flow will have you looking around for more.”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“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 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. ”
“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. Puffhost new single “Children” talks about despite being adults we all still carry our inner kid with us. Everything doesn’t have to be serious and we can pause and really enjoy things in life. Adulting may suck sometimes but we must remember we all are just children and we still must live and enjoy life. ”
“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. ”
“What I Said” lights up your speakers with an upbeat yet smooth tempo. Dj Five Venoms and Elijah The Boy goes straight into it. If you never experienced a night out with the crew this pretty much sums it up. It leaves you wanting more.”
“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.”
“This track from Artelia Green & Bandanas is a Soul infused Hip-Hop delight. The passion and intelligence shine in both the writing and delivery, and this one almost has a urban gospel feel that warms the soul and inspires the body to slide into a groove that only music can put you in.
A project of pure passion and steadfast belief! ”
“This is masterfully constructed track. LA’s Kayla DiVenere utilizes not only her vocal talent to instill a mood, but the arrangement plays a huge role in conveying the emotion and feeling behind the well-written lyrics.
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.”
“Sophie Powers is pissed off, and she brings in DE’WAYNE to help her call out the ‘Greed’ of those who have left her in this state. Think of a angrier and edgier Gwen Stefani and you have a solid idea of of what Powers brings to the table.
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 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.”
