“Get ready to take a trip. A trip with artist Roet in his latest single “Think”. The song allows you to escape your thoughts and vibe to the melody of being free from whatever. I admire how simple the video is with the color changes. The beat connects you to his overall delivery. This is truly a track where you just lay down and embrace the sound. ”
“To see so many different talented people and instruments come together to make one sound is amazing. Clinton Fearon “Trod On” will have you moving your hips to the beat whether you are starting your day or relaxing. He brings classic Reggae back with this track. ”
“You ever been ok but not really ok? You try to focus on everything else but find yourself being Awkward. Just 4 Tonight latest single is fun yet straight forward with expression. I suggest you take time and lay in your thoughts and listen to the lyrics and emotions the track gives.”
“People will give you what they think they want. However, Izza is direct with what she wants in “Love Bracelets”. They always said jewelry is a girls best friend and jewelry also doesn’t hurt your feelings.Her motto is that happiness can be bought with jewelry and that is the only thing that will make her truly happy.”
“Few artists can convey emotion and passion the way Paolo Nutini can. There is a timeless Rock sound, like you’d find from the Eagles or Tom Waits with a strong songwriters sensibilities driving and pushing the lyrical build.
Artistry is the word of the day as you can feel the emotion and talent combine to create a vibe that transcends time and genre. ”
“Rowlan starts the track off with an R&B type groove, before unleashing a heartfelt Rap flow and hook to pull the listener in emotionally. The combination of styles and grooves plays a huge role in upholding the intrigue, but overall it is the honest and genuine emotions in conjunction with the talented performance that carries the day. Not an easy one to compare, but there are influences of Drake, Kendrick and Jack Harlow to name a few.”
“A free verse track about grief and loss, delivered with genuine emotion and heart.
Javy XI takes on the hurt of losing his mom and delivers this flow with a loving memory that is edged with the pain of his loss. The backing and beat mostly get out of the way, but do add enough to give the track a solid well-rounded feel. A single that simply hits hard with its genuineness.”
LA Artist Liddy Mechelle is bringing energy and direct lyrics in her latest single “Let Me Fix My Crown”. Liddy lets it be known that she is very head strong, independent, and direct. She demands respect and wants someone to be true with their intentions instead of on some fxck shxt. Whether she is in an official relationship or not, she rather know her position so she will know what role to play. If anyone tries to step to her you are better off being honest and keeping it one hundred with her as she adjusts her crown to any “bs” that comes her way.
“Paddy James delivers a heartfelt track with both emotion and charm. The tender build highlights the journey from heartbroken teen to adult capable of understanding love because of a plethora of experiences and paths over the years. A singer/songwriter vibe with an intriguing vocal accent and smooth musical build. Think U2 meets John Mayer.”
“We all experience our emotional ups and downs and music plays a huge role in allowing us to feel we are not alone. Sometimes we even feel inspired to move and dance and that act is enough to shake off what is weighing us down. Sometimes we fall in and wallow in the heaviness of our thoughts. Either way music plays a part for many of us and Jenny Kern’s new single ‘Feel It Again’ is all about how music and moving takes us back to those emotional moments. ”
“Billingsley is compromised of three brothers from North Carolina. The sound and style is Green Day meets Offspring and ‘Long Shot’ is the kind of tongue in cheek song that never goes out of style. The emotions behind the track are ones we’ve all felt and experienced and the wry humor helps make the odds that are stacked against us easier to laugh off. A fun song that you will want to listen to over and over again to get all the lyrics. Pure fun and energy!”
“A fun energetic track with a Latin flair pushing the beat and melody and coming with pure Pop sensibilities vocally. ITSNOTU.ME delivers an easy groove to settle in on, and a set of lyrics that begs to be sung along with.
Feels like a summer vibe and a hit in the making, so get in early and add this track to one of your Spotify playlists. LA on Lock has a number of Spotify playlists to catch great tracks like this as well.”
“Hip Hop and Folk are not easily combined, but ‘Highways’ from Jessamyn Day certainly delivers elements of both genres. Leaning closer to Folk early on, the track settles into more of a Rock style reminiscent of Red Hot Chili Peppers deeper in. I was impressed by the ability of the arrangement to take subtle, yet varying turns and never feel like it was trying to do too much. A track that is finely crafted, and delivered with passionate talent.”
“There is nothing like a good it of time on the road to reflect and ponder on both how you got to where you are ,and where you are going. This track takes a look at how our paths shape who we are and where we are going. With a classic and timeless sound this track straddles a Folk/Americana and Indie Rock vibe while giving off strong vibes of what it is to be a free thinking, free travelling human in this place and time.
Simply put, ‘King of the Road,’ is a good song most if not al of us can relate strongly with. ”
“A long time fan of the Laurel Canyon sound, lodet drops a new track, ‘Smile,’ which delivers a bit of that sound, as well as a bit of Dylan, and a splash of Lennon to complete a nuanced and energetic ode the past. All without sacrificing contemporary relevancy. lodet’s Swedish home is a long way, both in time and distance from the height of the Laurel Canyon scene, but this track bridges the gap with ease and talent and is a nice modern spin of that sound. ”
“Originally from Sweden, but now making music from Switzerland, Doppe & Kokke team up with Justin Erinn on ‘Glad To Be Alive.” This EDM track starts on the dark side but takes on an energetic and uplifting tone to bring out positive vibes and a immersive beat t pull the listener in and along for the ride. A track that will both get you moving and thinking. ”
“Zoe Zobrist has the perfect voice for a track like this. Soft and slow in the build and tone, ‘Better’ is a song of regret and heartache. A song of what should have been amid self reflection and a simmering anger that threatens below the surface. The writing is strong, though it is the performance that truly hits the emotional aspects, and makes you feel every word.”
“Riding a tight production and sneakily tricky lyrics, YLM Forest. drops ‘Swerve’ on us. Short and to the point, the track has an easy groove to settle in and ride.
I did crave more to the track when it was over, but the talent and delivery work very well and I am eager to hear more from this artist. The trap beat is dialed in and perfect for the cadence of this flow.”
“Jamie Miller unleashes a track which feels a bit like the male counterpoint to GAYLE’s smash hit ‘ABCDEFU.’
Miller boldly delivers ‘It Is What It Is,’ with more of a pure Pop sound and a touch less attitude, but he does so with confidence and energy and that makes it both powerful and engaging. A fun track to join in and belt out as the build is infectious, and easily hooks the listener. ”
“A haunting early build slides into more of an internal determination with a harder edge as the track progresses. DYLYN goes back and forth with a slow, yet deliberate delivery that reveals the emotion and vulnerability of the well-written lyrics.
Finding comparable isn’t easy as the track straddles several genres but for me this is somewhere between Billie Eilish and Halsey.”
