Noah Reid - Minneapolis [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The emotional build and delivery reminded me of Jason Isbell a great deal. You could call this a day in the life of a touring musician, but the emotional relevance certainly goes wider than that.

’Minneapolis’ is a brooding story song that takes the listener for a ride while transporting them to a place and time making the track deeply feelable. The day is tangible in the mind and in the heart as you feel every word and turn of the finely crafted melody.

And if Noah Reid looks familiar to you that is because he starred in Schitt’s Creek as Patrick. And if you haven’t watched the beloved sitcom you should fix that soon after you take a dive into Reid’s talented musical offerings. ”

Kelaska - Tightrope [Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“The need to fit in and conform overcomes us all at times, but it is easy to lose yourself while trying to please the world around us.

Kelaska offers an emotional track about that very struggle. Walking that ‘Tightrope’ is a dicey proposition but falling in on this track is anything but as the build and emotional vulnerability sell the track early before the tempo shift and a sort of fierce determination takes hold. ”

LVRBOY - when you love someone [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Despite our best efforts some relationships simply do not work. This is especially tough when there isn’t one great reason just a simple parting of the hearts. LVRBOY takes on this very kind of ending with ‘when you love someone’ and that is not enough to salvage a future together. Coming with a smooth grove and emotional build, this Electro Pop track speaks to and from the heart. ”
