“I hate when someone is mad at me it gives me anxiety”. I truly felt every word of this song. Hannah Bloch’s single “People Pleasing” is about being exhausted from pleasing everyone. She emphasizes how you need to find moments where you put yourself first. It’s about realizing you are important just as much as they are.”
“A big chanting anthem, that feels a bit like a drunken sing-a-long in the best of ways. Mixed Kid Fridays are clearly having fun, and this bold and sparing track embodies that.
The track is truly ‘Something To Shout’ about, and it is futile to resist the energy of this one. A great party song for you and your friends to belt out once you have all properly lubricated your vocal chords.”
“Life has many obstacles and we often feel like we are hitting “Rock Bottom”. Lerocque latest single reminds us of that but it also encourages us to achieve our highest dreams. Everyone is on a different journey but there is always a way to make it to the top. The visual highlights many different situations in life but reveal there’s a way to get through the storm for brighter and better days.”
“Monday’s can seem so long when you are not happy with your daily routine. The routine of going to a job that you aren’t in love with. Rla Barkr delivers a soulful melody about choosing between a job and your passion. As Monday stays heavy on her mind she is reminded of being grounded to a 9-5 because of bills. Some people can do both but in her case it takes up all her time.”
“Sometimes people come to you for an apology but you have to stand strong on your decisions. Ekeberg’s single “Not Sorry” is an unapologetic anthem filled with self-love. Its about no longer protecting someone else’s feelings but learning how to express how you feel in order to make yourself happy and free.”
“Don’t Sleep, Repeat” has a smooth yet energetic delivery. 44phantom and Machin Gun Kelly gives us a pop meets rock love track. They explain their emotions when it comes to relationships but bring engagement to anyone listening.”
“They gave us a snippet during the Verzuz battle but 8 Ball and MJG are coming back with the classics. Their latest single “They Don’t Love You” is about knowing how to recognize the fake people in your life. The are staying true to their roots with the classic Memphis beat and visual location. ”
“In life you can be surrounded by people but still feel like a “Lonely A$$ Bitxx”. Ally Ahern latest single addresses everyone who feels like they are alone or have been left alone. The song has a nice ballad that will have you dancing even with the depressed arranged lyrics. My favorite part was the voicemail message.”
“The Arkells are joined here by Tegan and Sara on this heartfelt track. ‘Teenage Years’ hits all the feels and the blend of voices play off of each other to add to the emotional intensity of the build. The writing is spot on and the delivery every bit as flawless. A track you can listen to over and over again and pick up new nuances each time you do so. ”
“The suspenseful beat allowed me to feel the emotions early on. Noah’s “Way Back Home” is about realizing you made a mistake and discovering where your heart belongs. We often go looking for things we don’t need and when we realize we don’t need them we become lost.”
“ Is it too early for coffee? Slick Division reintroduces us to pop in their new single, “Too Early For Coffee”, that speaks about love. It describes love as waking up in the morning to someone who has your interest or showing them that you want to sleep in with them and enjoy many mornings together.”
“Big Vette is snatching our souls with the remix to “Snatch” with Flo Milli and Saucy Santana. The beat stays the same but the lyrics hit harder than ever on each verse.
They come with analogies that will have you using each one for social media captions or just keep snatching his soul.”
“A smooth easy groove with Reggae and Pop influences in the tone and delivery. An ode to love and the disappointment we fell when we let that other person down and do them wrong. The pain is tangible and the passion emotes through in every line. A song of directness and emotional pain that is an apology of sorts but also a pledge to be better. ”
“Many of us catch ourselves being in selfish or unappealing way, and recognizing those tendencies exist helps guide us. Francisco Martin puts that perspective into song form and that gives us even more chance to reflect and realize we are not alone in this pursuit of being better each and every day. A tender vulnerable song with energy is tough to pull off but ‘Narcissist’ doe exactly that.
A fun ride!”
“Madison Beer slows it down in the this tender and vulnerable refrain about personal reflection and responsibility. The track has a far more theatrical feel than other tracks I’ve heard from Beer’s, but the vocal talent shines and the emotion is tangible.
We as humans tend to blame others or even fate when things do not go our way but sometimes we have to realize that is ‘Dangerous’ to our own growth and development.”
“Yung Wacho drops this Pop infused Rap flow that conveys an emotional energy that is hard to escape. A fun ride that is easy to connect with and sing along to. We’ve all had that crush that inspires us and this track used that as the muse to create a fun Commercial track that will no doubt be added to many playlists shared with crushes. ”
“Life is indeed a roller coaster ride of emotions, and how we handle the highs is just as important as how we face the lows. PKAY takes on that very thought with ‘Temporary Highs’ an energetic track with a node of the hat to 90s era Pop Punk.
I hear hints of No Doubt in the sound, but less of that SKA influence and a touch heavier Pop leaning. A track that will get you moving and thinking at the same time. ”
“Current “Talk To You Soon” is giving us R&B vibes to really set the mood for his emotions after a long-term relationship. Despite the things he loved about the relationship he also love his worth more than what the relationship was giving him. This track is a soulful production with an electronic infused melody that shows how men feel when relationships have ended. ”
“Jelani Aswad single has an interesting title but an even stronger meaning.”
”Death Around the Corner” is about being so close to the end but living to see another day. The beat has a Caribbean tempo that will make you want to dance despite its lyrical context. ”
“Weed and Caviar is an exquisite song that will have you kicking back. Trent Vine searches for his own crowd to hang with but comes with the most needed essentials. I like the arrangement and the overall delivery. ”
