April Jai - Stop Fighting It [Music Review]

March 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Alternative

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Am Electro Pop track about taking that next step from friends to something much more. Who will make that move to transcend and change the tone of the relationship? ‘Stop Fighting It’ is described by the artist as ... ‘your spicy ‘friends to lovers’ female empowerment song.’

April Jai utilizes her talented vocal skills to tease and taunt both the listener and subject of her desire in the lyrical build. ”

    LEWIS FITZGERALD - SHORT RIDE (ft. WEWANTWRAITHS) [Music Video Review]

    March 23, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Contemporary R&B

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “Lewis Fitzgerald is a twenty-one year old rising star. The UK singer/songwriter is joined here by WEWANTWRAITHS and the video has the two of them cruising through the streets of London as they delivery a track we can all relate to.

    Life is indeed a ‘Short Ride,’ and sadly can be even far shorter than we plan, so this is a song to help remind us to live each day to our fullest.

    Fitzgerald weighs in on the track saying ... ‘This song represents some of my childhood and things I went through, I had suicidal thoughts and attempts when I was younger and it’s kind of like my way of releasing that pain now through this sound, remembering how it was and how I thought at the time, it’s like me saying it to myself.’

    Despite the heavy inspiration of the track, the single never feels overwrought, and it can simply be enjoyed as a smooth groove and entertaining song to brighten your world. ”

      Three Second Chances - Let Me Down [Music Review]

      March 23, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Adult Contemporary, Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “When you really love or care about someone you tend to overlook their faults and even let them disappoint or hurt you over and over again. ‘Let Me Down’ by Three Second Chances is an Adult Contemporary track that dives into the emotions of being the one affected. The various sets of vocals play well off each other and the build is an easy one to fall in and stick with. The track feels like a bit of a throwback but is certainly contemporary enough to hold modern audiences. ”

          “ This song literally rocks. From the tonal vocals of the lead singer to the raw drumming going on in the background. This song really brings the energy. If fights could be seen as sound, they would sound like this. Artistic but unconventionally raw. ”

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “I like how the artist vocals were mixed to sit on top of beat so that you really tune in on what he’s actually saying. The transition from the verse to the hook is well put together. The vocals on the hook bring a new type of life to the track. The artist bars you down while still giving you just enough emotion to keep you listening. If logic, met Kanye West production this is how I would envision it sounding.””

              “The tone of the lead’s vocals coming into the intro of the song match perfectly with the emotion and intent of the lyrics.

              Vibrant yet subtle guitar chords accompanied by a funky drum beat mixed with the soul of early 90s rock. Song could also be used for any soundtrack where the character just cruises away into the sunset. Overall well put together composition from start to finish. Love the late edition of the harp near the ending of the song.”

                “This song has rave vibes written all over it. This is the type of track to make you let your hair down, dance, and sweat the night away. A feel good tune with simple but beautifully arranged vocals. The artist really shows off his range going back and forth from his natural to falsetto vocal range. Real feel good record. ”

                  “The introduction automatically gets the listener emotionally attached. The tone of the artist voice fits to the track and lyrics for a great marriage of production and musical composition. Easy listen. Not your typical love song but a great love song none the less. Very polished vocals and catchy riffs from the guitar production in the background. Great song . ”

                    “If you are a fan of the likes of Wiz Khalifa or Machine Gunn Kelly this song is definitely for you. An uptempo bop with great energy from both the artist and the instrumental. I love the breakdown of how the artist tells the next artist to not talk about everything he then raps about. The irony is almost comical but adds a more personal element to the track. Makes the listener feel as if they are there during the process of the song being made. Genius tactic. ”

The immediate build up from the verse to the hook gives this track built in emotion that keeps the listener tuned in. The unconventional structure takes you on a roller coaster ride with the artist from upbeat hard drums to chill vocals w/ clean harmonic compositions. Soundtrack worthy. Could most definitely hear this song on the big screen.”

                                    Roni Bar Hadas - Mood [Music Review]

                                    March 22, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Bedroom

                                    “How could you not be in the ‘Mood’ after listening to this smooth easy Neo Soul groove? For a brief couple of seconds, this track felt a bit dated, but the arrangement quickly settled into a soulful delivery that is simply timeless. so I don’t mind admitting that first gut reaction was wrong.

                                    Roni Bar Hadas unfurls this vocal gem with silky, unflappable talent and the world would be a better place if everyone took time out of their hectic stressful days to vibe to some sweet sweet music like this.”

                                      Why Nuts - Loretta [Review]

                                      “The intro really brings the energy and sets up the fast pace vibe of this track. The constant riffs of the lead guitar and tempo of the drummer really keeps the energy going on this song. The type of song you jump up and down on the bed to and really let your hair down. The lead vocalist carries this track masterfully with raw but melodic vocals.”

                                        “If you like 90s hip hop you will love this track. It has well put together lyrics with soulful background vocals to add texture and feeling. Great messaging. The artist messaging and delivering fits the track like a hand to a glove. Real hip hop heads could really appreciate this track.”
