Ryan Hicks -Experience [Review]

April 02, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This song makes me want to get into my car and just ride the countryside. The marriage of the guitars and drums to maintain a steady uptempo beat for the lead vocals to dance all over vocally. The song builds up masterfully . The harmonics and back ground vocals give this track more and more life the more you listen. Great overall listen. ”

    Manic- Bad Habits [Review]

    April 02, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The artist has a very distinctive voice that cuts through the production. JID style wordplay. Short, sweet and to the point.

    Knowing that this artist produced, mixed and mastered this song after also being the lead artist lets me know this artist is here for the long haul. ”

      Alfie Castley Talk To Myself - Alternative Version

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Simple, angelic, well composed. This duo showcases polished vocals with heart wrenching lyrics that make the hair on your skin stand up. This is an overall well put together composition that could be used to evoke emotion on any big screen drama. The harmonies and piano riffs draw you in more and more as the song builds. Great heartfelt music.”

        Vinny Peculiar - Hippy Kids [Review]

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “This song is the essence of feel good 80’s rock music. In your face but well composed live instrumentation. Chanty vocals that the artist could use to play to the crowd as shows. This song screams big hair, leather pants and a good time. This song is a definite head banger. ”

          MARTIN LUKE BROWN - **it Gets Better [Review]

          April 02, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “This is the type of song you use to start off your week or day or the “good foot”. Inspiring, real life lyrics with soothingly smooth vocals. The way the vocalist masterfully shows his range gives this song the energy it needs to make any feel good playlist. The lyrics say “it gets better” and this song definitely does just that second by second. Great listen.”

            “An eerie yet beautiful tune. The live instrumentation carries you on an emotional journey as the artist croons and pulls at your heart strings. The use of the brass as another vocal is in genius.”

              “This song comes in and grabs you by the neck. The lyricist gets right into his head bopping tempo and flow while the energy of the instrumentation keep you moving.

              Even though the artist has a subtle voice, his energy still jumps off the track.Positive energy for the win. ”

                  “Energetic yet soothing vibes. The silkiness of the vocals over the up tempo beat give this song a flow that carries throughout. 80s techno with Euro infused stints make this a definitely “get up and dance” track. The way the lead guitar accents the lead vocalist emotion in the verses gives this song an added element that just keeps the listener listening.”

                    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                    “If you wonder what Chris Kläfford sounds like, imagine an Adult Contemporary hit sung by Chris Stapleton and you will have a petty good idea. I am very intrigued by this Swedish artist and can’t wait to hear other works by him.

                    Emotive and vocal strength are the first attributes that caught my attention, though this is also a very well-written track delivered with power and an emotive touch that rises above the fray. ”

                      “Falling in love in the warm Southern California sun. That is what this track felt like for me.

                      Francisco Martin utilizes a talented vocal range to unfurl his Neo Soul track, ‘Passenger Princess.’ Like a fusion of Bruno Mars and Jack Johnson this is an easy soft track that adds a nice warm glow to your body, heart and soul.

                      The bright sunlit video pairs perfectly with the entire vibe, so be sure and take time to watch and listen.”

                          “Music certainly has its fads and trends, though sometimes a simple, yet timeless sound is what best captivates and holds a listener. That is the case with ‘Jetlag’ from STARRY EYES.

                          The writing is intricately delightful, and the classic build and sound could come from several musical eras though the end product does not feel dated in anyway. The vocals unfold in a smooth emotive tone and make you lose the world around you as the meaning and emotions penetrate your brain. ”

Grayson Foster delivers this song with passioned, emotive strength and the end result is a timeless sound that will appeal to fans of artists ranging from the rock flavor of Springsteen to the Folk of John Craigie and the the Pop style of Harry Styles. That said Foster hasn’t created a derivative track, but rather one simply rooted in genuine artistry utilizing his own sound. ”

                                “SASS gives us an interesting, genre-bending track with ‘Summer Baby.’ The overall vibe leans tot he Pop side though the track certainly delivers elements of R&B and Folk. The vocal side of the track has an old school Fine Young Cannibals vibe and the blend of these elements creates a unique edge and I can see this track reaching a wide audience with its mix of the familiar into a uniquely new sound. ”

                                  I Am Boleyn - Breathless [Music Video Review]

                                  “The way the electric piano intros into the vocals gives this song a late 80s early 90s pop feel. A nostalgic party vibe reminiscent of the big hair, bright clothing era of music. The artist has angelic vocals that carry the track. ”

                                    “The artist vocals immediately catch your attention. I love how the artist jumps right into the song with no long drawn out intro, only sultry vocals. The constant riffs from the guitars in the background give the song a flow and emotion that flows from beginning to end. Definitely a playlist worthy tune for those light night rides on the highway. ”

                                      “The vocals are clear and the vocals are direct and to the point. The production has a bop to it that is sure to make you nod your head. Fresh sound. Original. The lyrics draw you into the story of the song and keeps you intensive the whole way through.”

                                        Chris de Sarandy - Who I Once Knew [Music Review]

                                        “We all grow as we age and mature, and at times, two people who were once madly in love grow in different directions leaving an emotional chasm between them. Chris de Sarandy laments such an evolution on his track, ‘Who I Once Knew.’

                                        The song reminded me a bit of Coldplay with more of an Indietronica vibe pushing it forward. The vocal performance is spot on, delivering passion and emotion that the listener can easily feel and connect with.”
