“The song is emotional and full of expressions. Dylan Lafave expresses the story of being bisexual in “Untold Secrets”. People hold in so much that they don’t know when to truly be themselves. Once they let everything out they find themselves being free.”
“An energetic Electro Pop track with strong Commercial vibes, ‘Clean Break’ is a track that pays homage to Roxette, Ace of Base and the sound of decades past, while still having a fresh contemporary Pop feel as well. ILIRA has the energy and vocal chops to hook the listener and there is that extra spirit and energy to truly make the track stand out from the fray.
Raised in a small Swiss town by Kosovo-Albanian parents, ILIRA struggled to find her place in an environment with clashing cultures. Citing a wide set of musical influences from Nirvana to Rihanna as her first major muses, ILIRA developed a rebellious middle- finger-wagging attitude at a very young age, shaping her into the artist that she is today. ILIRA began cutting her teeth on the live stage in various talent shows on Albanian and Swiss TV, all the while writing songs to beats she had purchased online and posting clips of these songs to Instagram. Flash forward to a move to Berlin, Sony Music Germany snap ILIRA up and she begins penning catchy pop tracks in LA and London. She reached #1 on the German Airplay Charts with her hit collaboration “FADING.” ILIRA rounded of the year with upbeat cuts such as EXTRA FR!ES and PAY ME BACK!, and is currently in the studio honing her debut album.”
“Kenneth Goodrich delivers laidback LA vibes in “No Drama”. There is a piano melody that sets the mood for anyone listening to just relax. Kenneth speaks on not being perfect, working on flaws and despite the distance always being there for someone. ”
“As we gear into football season “NFL Blitz” is a perfect song to for highlights and touch downs. The song intensifies itself by carrying through the melodies and gearing up for a higher level or excitement. I like how each vocals take turns and display their talent at a particular tempo.”
“What if James Bond were a dark-minded cabaret showgirl?
That was the question artist, CELIIN posed in her submission and it really does sum up this intriguing track. Sultry and brooding. Sexy and sad all at the same time the talent is evocative in all the best ways.
This is a track that ages well and is all the more intriguing with each and every listen. A must add to any playlist with a quirky and definite mood creating vibe. ”
“Few bands can capture the level of allure and intrigue that Bad Flamingo does with their sound. Sure the masks they wear play part of the role in the imagery but the sound and songwriting are every bit as much to do with the mystery and intrigue. landing somewhere between Americana and Indie Rock this duo routinely delivers an outlaw aura of loneliness and desperation that translates into engaging and thought provoking songs. ‘I Won’t Let You Die Young’ ads to their catalogue of strong lyrics and mood setting tones.”
“The world is full of break up songs but few artists can command the emotional resonance that GAYLE delivers. ‘ALEX’ is real and genuine and feels like the stream of consciousness we all go through when making such decisions. The song has a fun light edge despite the heavy subject matter. It feels a whole lot like a conversation with a friend about relationships and in that familiarity is a comfort that is pure artistry. ”
“Tommy Alexander is a songwriter first and foremost, but that is not to say he doesn’t have the vocal talent and passion to deliver the words he writes. There are Springsteen and Johnny Cash vibes in the delivery and the emotion is palpable in both the words and performance. We as humans all have a myriad of complex ‘Feelings’ coursing through us, and we don’t always understand where they came from, but still we must deal with them. This track does a great job of taking that complex set of thoughts and distilling them into an entertaining and thought-provoking track. ”
“Sometimes the best songs are made when you are in your room alone. Grace Kuraska’s latest single “Torn” is an emotional release. She speaks on feelings, insecurities, and love. Often times our true feelings come out when we aren’t sober and “Torn” is an example of that.”
“Kia Rose “DrUgS + cAnDy is a different type of pop song. The video is visually cute but it takes you into the mind of someone who has their head in the clouds. Somethings seem larger than others and your best friend could be a teddy bear. You are stuck between tripping and having fun but in the moment find a way to relax. ”
“A track for the daydreamer in all of us. Life has a way of slipping by faster than we’d like, and this song takes on that dynamic as well as our own aspirations and dreams of what we wish everyday life was compared to what it is.
A dreamscape Pop vibe permeates with a touch of Lorde and Billie Eilish in the overall vocal sound and style. That said, Alle The Dreamer certainly brings a unique tone and delivery that stands our from those artists as well as the fray.”
“Estella Dawn has the kind of sultry and inviting vocal style that is timeless and easy to fall all the way in on right from the start. This track has a slow build but it comes with an intriguing build that holds the listener close. Lyrically, the track holds surprises and there is nuance to dig in on that will keep you coming back time and time again. ‘Winners’ is a vibe that grips you hard. ”
“A folksy track with Pop sensibilities. A bit like Mumford meets Springsteen with a light airy tone and build that makes it easy to emotional connect with the track. Eddie Island lets the writing soar with a joyous tone and band vocal build that matches the musical vibes of the track. This is the kind of song that delivers the power to change your mood and lift your spirit. ”
“A collaboration between 23-year-old electronic DJ and producer, Whethan and Florida-based rapper, Zai1k, “Fall Out Girl,” is a high-energy, feel-good track that comes alive right from the start.
’Zai and I linked up in Miami and made a bunch of cool ideas. ‘Fall Out Girl’ was inspired by the Miami lifestyle and is a perfect sunny drive with the top back, a pop hit to blast til’ the neighbors knock.’ -Whethan
The combination of artistic talents here works well and every element adds to the listener’s engagement of the track. ”
“Growing up in a small town, or in the boring, far flung regions of suburbia can be a challenge as a teenager desperate to escae and experience real world excitement. This track is about that desperate need to escape and carries some nostalgia for the years of life when that is the most important problem you face. A Pop Punk heavier on the Punk side gives this track a nice edge and energy and is a track you can song along with alone or with friends. Simply a fun track. ”
“Life gets hard but you have to tell yourself “I Can’t Break”. Flau’jae latest single is about wanting help, being let down but realizing other people still need you and are there for you. It will days you will feel lonely but you must stay true to yourself and your heart. ”
“This track is really smooth and poetic. Mathew Craig’s “Let It Burn” featuring Jeremy Bennett is a melodic and visually cinematic. It tells a story while visually engaging the listener. It talks about learning life and being patient as life gives you different scenarios.”
“Numb the Pain” is an Alternative Rock track that will have you engaged musically and emotionally. The dramatic yet aggressive cadence defines wanting to run away from your pain but realizing you aren’t sure where you want to go.”
“We have dreams, we have partners but sometimes people switch up. Frisco Harbody Sco latest single “Stay Focused” lyrically speaks about people double crossing you. The track also speaks on learning from the pain, the betrayal and not letting it mess up your over goals.”
“The setting and the guitar strings sets the mood for the intro. Olivia Penalva sets the stage in her latest single “Assembly Required”. She lays out the instruction of falling in love with her. She knows she isn’t perfect but does have the ability to open her heart and love again as long as you are willing to put her together.”
