Grand Am -The Turnaround [Review]

March 05, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The arrangement of this songs instrumentation takes me back to when music had real musical arrangements. The rawness of the instrumentation makes you feel as if the group is right in front of you performing the song. The vocals are light but stand strong over the production. The lead has the type of smooth vocal delivery that keeps the ear yearning for more.”

    Steven Araico - Ivory Keys [Review]

    March 05, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “I was immediately taken in by the vocals of this artist. If Boy Georgia meshed with Sam Smith these are the vocal tones I would imagine. The production is very chill and allows the artist the room to freely ride the beat and act as its own instrument. This track invokes emotions naturally simply by the playful back and forth from natural to falsetto by the lead vocalist. This music could be a soundtrack piece for any romance movie in today’s world. Overall great arrangement.”

      King Shakes Out The Gate [Review]

      March 05, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

      Rating: 3 out of 5

      “The 808s immediately bring you into this track. This song gives new age Three Six Mafia vibes with the chanty hook and chopped and screwed underlining sample. Also has that real Texas swing culture feel to it.”

        Danny Kuttner - Limelight [Review]

        Review: 4 out of 5

        “The picking of the guitar chords in the intro are the perfect set up for the angelic vocals of this artist. The way she easily switches from high to low notes is almost enchanting. It’s a feel good tune with just enough bounce to keep you dancing. The production allows for the artist vocals and lyrics to be the star of the show while providing the perfect background cover to give the song its flow. ”

          Rohan - So Paid [Music Review]

          March 05, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Neo-Soul, Autotune

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “No one ever reaches the top of the mountain without struggling to get there. Rohan uses a smooth and easy delivery on this flow about fighting through the pain to reach to the place you want to be in life.

          The track utilizes a Rap flow, but also has the groove of a slow and soulful R&B track giving the vibe an added dimension and accessibility to the emotional thread of the lyrical build.”

            “Immediately gave me Nipsey Hussle vibes. You can hear the conviction in the artist voice as he delivers those heartfelt lyrics. The nature raspiness of his vocal timbre adds its own rawness to the track. The trap bass mixed with the smoothness of the piano chords makes this a track to definitely ride to and vibe to on any occasion. ”

              “The artist vocals and intensity pierce through the track from the beginning. The messaging is powerful. The production is just simple enough to let the artist dance all over it without clashing or being overbearing. A true lyricist in rare form. The transition into the melodic hook is both unexpected and appreciated because the extra element of emotion is brings to the song . ”

                Parris LaVon - WEAK [Music Review]

                March 05, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, R&B, Alternative

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Parris LaVon shares a bit of vulnerability on this flow, but despite the title of the track he clearly is anything but ‘Weak.’

                We all have our problems and roadblocks but persevering and coming out the other side is what defines who and what we are. The beat and rhythm here are smooth and the lyrical flow lands its emotional punches with a raw earnest vibe that feels genuine. A track to listen to over and over again to appreciate the various nuances.

                Be sure and check out the entire new album, WINTER IV which just dropped this week. ”

                  Big Boss Vette - Pretty Girls Walk (Remix) ft. Coi Leray [Music Review]

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Pure Trap attitude sets the track off, and the bounce isn’t just an accessory here, but a full-out active part of the vibe.

                  Big Boss Vette unleashes her chorus in conjunction with the talents of Coi Leray to create a remix that hits with force. Lyrical wit and a strong overall verve amps the mood on a track that is one-hundred percent brass.”

                        “I love how the artist vocals act like more of an instrument existing within the track and not necessarily just sitting on top of the beat. The production is very futuristic, though it seems to clash with the vocals at time with all the synth elements of the track. Could definitely pop this song on in the car and ride to it.”

                                “Prisoner & Key delivers a brooding track that is best compared to Springsteen taking a turn at an Outlaw Country song.

                                ’Set in My Ways’ has grit and punch and almost slips into an Industrial vibe at times. The vocals are steady and moody with a dark undertone that defines the track overall.”

                                    DONNY D - Maria [Music Review]

                                    “Donny D drops this ode to ‘Maria’ which is personified as a woman here but is a metaphor of course for marijuana. No matter the nature of the relationship we all need a bit of calm comfort now and again. The flow here popes and has a nice balance of energy and anguish to set it all off. The delivery is spot on for both timing and tone and this one that should be appeal to lots of people given the different ways the track can be taken.”

                                      “The mood of the song is a vibe. The vocalist has an almost Giveon type of tone. The accents of the harmonizations add texture and volume to the hook which is already catchy in itself. The way the snare sits on top of the beat makes it hard to not nod your head to this one.”

                                        “The lead vocalist showcase enchanting, almost hypnotic vocals. They draw you in. The instrumentation gives soft 90s rock. I could hear it on a movie sound track as well. ”
