FII3RD - Your Type [Review]

February 18, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Reggae

Review: 4 out of 5

“When Afrobeats meets the sound of the West Coast. FII3RD latest single “Your Type” blends instruments to create a lush R&B sound. The track is about knowing your type and the qualities that they possess. FII3RD expresses admiration and determination to prove his love.”

    John X Smith - I Know [Review]

    Rating: 3 out of 5

    “You either going to keep your head up or hold it down. John X Smith latest track “I Know” is about understanding everything that is going on around you. It can be a crazy yet stress full world but you still have to keep going. ”

      Shayla McDaniel - Depend On [Review]

      February 18, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Trust is so hard to find. Shayla’s McDaniel new single “Depend On” describes that feeling lyrically and emotionally. We wonder who it could be and try our best to put trust in people but it seems to always fail us”

        Anabl - Homecoming Queen [Review]

        February 18, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The conflicting emotions of high school come in many forms and perhaps none stand out like the race for popularity. The struggle to stand out and conform at the same time is an odd dynamic and this track uses the race for ‘Homecoming Queen’ as the backdrop to express that. Anabl delivers an emotive set of lyrics and a contemporary Pop style to deliver the track and her spot on talent accentuate the strong writing and brings the song fully to life.”

          WellBad - Robbery [Music Video Review]

          February 18, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Riding a funky little bass line and beat, WellBad gives us a bit of everything on this track. The lyrics tell the story of a man who gave a vixen everything in a ‘Robbery’ of the heart. The vocals convey a bit of Nick Cave and a Splash of Tom Waits and really it just one of those songs you simply feel in your bones. Especially if you’ve ever been in a similar position. Attitude and passion carry the day on the track and sell the emotions quite well.”

            Morgan Myles - Woman Of My Word [Review]

            February 16, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Americana, Country, Folk

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “The slow build of this track is well worth the time it takes to unfold. Morgan Myles has a Country feel to her tone, but the deep range and broad emotional impact is far more impactful than most Mainstream Country offers these days. Think of Brandi Carlisle or old school Ronstadt more than the cheesy bedazzled brand of Country Nashville pumps out these days. This track heartfelt and real, and a journey far too many women face at least once in their lives.”

              Kevonna Rose - That's Fine [Review]

              February 16, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “When a relationship ends, we often tend to look inward and blame ourselves, unless of course you catch them cheating, but the fact is ... sometimes the other person is simply an asshole. This track realizes this and says ... ‘That’s Fine.’ be an asshole but I’m moving on.

              Kevonna Rose understands the need to break clean and delivers a smooth soulful groove to moving forward with such knowledge that you can’t change the other person. This is both a break up song, and a slow jam that anyone who has recently gone through the end of a relationships will certainly relate to.”

                Skuff Micksun - Magnificent [Music Video Review]

                February 11, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Electronic, Indie Rock

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Riding a groove that is musical, yet spoken word poetic at the same time, Skuff Micksun delivers a passionate flow that feels honest and true in a confessional sort of way. The best art lays the artist bare, and that is what this track does.

                Short and to the point, ‘Magnificent’ is hard to categorize, but that doesn’t really matter because the words are clearly poured straight from the heart.”

                  Dropper - Waste of Time [Review]

                  February 11, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Every creative I know eventually asks themselves ... Is this all a ‘Waste of Time.’ The answer is no of course, because art is always a worthwhile endeavor, but when you are out there on the road and battling to make your mark while trying to find a passionate audience, it can feel that way. The up and down emotions of trying to make a living from your passion is a struggle that leaves all artists feeling depleted from time to time and this song taps into all of that. But the track is far from a drag as it expresses these emotions in an engaging and entertaining fashion. ”

                    “Peyton Shay is poised to be the next darling of the Pop Punk scene. With beautiful ones and an emotional edge, ‘Aftertaste’ is the break down of the mental mastication of a breakup. The seed things can go from great to irate is stunningly quick but sometimes it is is the devastation that we truly find out who we are and this song offers a glimpse of that ride. ”

                      “Inspired by the dearth of originality in a social media driven world, Jake Hays delivers a heartfelt ode to trying to find your own inner peace and creativity in a copycat world of the same old same old. The vocal groove is more tranquil than the lyrical intent and build and that makes the song feel ambiguously delightful. The ‘Dumb Shit’ grinds us all down and rarely are we able to distill those emotions with the clarity of this song. The lyrics video helps the truly get into the message and words of this track.”

A reminder we all need from time to time so add this one to your self motivational playlists and feel the power of the writing and delivery. ”

The energy and build feel like Pink meshed with Avril Lavigne with an old school splash of No Doubt tossed in for good measure. ”

                                “Finally a break up song that feels as random and abstract as our minds tend to get after such a painful experience. The emotions are real and tangible here on this track and the writing is spot on brilliant. The track is short, but packs in everything it needed to in just under two minutes. A brilliantly crafted song that comes with a different angle than most artists are capable of delivering. ”

                                  Elodie Rêverie - Casa I Don’t Know [Music Video Review]

                                  “Emotion is the heart of all art, and few artists are able to emote the way Elodie Rêverie can. Riding vocals that feel haunting and homesick, Rêverie delivers ‘Casa Don’t Know’ with a despondent brand of passion that draws the listener in close to feel every word. There is a timeless vocal quality to her talent, and that allows Rêverie to step outside the lines of commonality and deliver contemporary songs that feel bigger than the world they inhabit.”

                                    Eric Lee - Come Break My Heart [Review]

                                    “Written for his wife, ‘Come Break My Heart’ is a tender and heartfelt ode of love. Could be classified as Country or Americana or simply a songwriter sharing his heart but what you can the track isn’t nearly as important as the emotions fueling it. With a hint of gravel and a nice emotive tone, Eric Lee delivers a track that sticks with the soul. ”

                                      “Davy Fresh latest single “New Testament” is rap poetry. The aesthetics of the video gives a laidback yet serious vibe to it. His flow is straight through but will have you taking notes as you vibe to the freestyle. ”
