“I’m usually not a fan of long intros, but the masterful composition at the beginning of this song draws you right into the enchanting vocals of the lead singer. Modern folk tune with hints of 90s rock fusion. The harmonies on the chorus add a dimension of smoothness to this otherwise raw track. Even the unexpected falsettos in the second verse compliment what this song already is, a great listen. ”
“I love when artist grab your ear and attention from second 0.01 of the song; mellow flow while still drawing you into the story being told by the artist. The artists transitions easily from croony, melodic vocals to cleverly written lyrics sure to keep the listener in tune. Great summer vibe to add to your playlist”
“I could hear this song on the soundtrack of any 90s rom com movie. Its smooth yet still pushed out energy over the riffs of the lead guitar and percussions. The effortless vocals of the lead singer carries the listener through the entirety of the song. The artist and band mesh like they were put together by the music Gods themselves. ”
“Angelic vocals. Emotionally driven lyrics. This song pulls at your heart strings from start to finish. This track bleeds emotion and empathy over simple production. Would love to hear more from this artist.”
“The intro to the song builds up excitement. It has an 80s retro production like when a movie or show first comes on. I like the creativity of the video as artist Andrew Ash travels with his heart telling the story because feelings is a journey. ”
“Like can become hard, and Lance Tingey tells what he is going through with his rough patch. He talks about the nights where he fights sleep and his demands. No one wants failure to be their friend so they find ways to seek help all while trying not to give up. ”
“We all have a bit of ‘Dopamine Junkie’ in us, because we are all chasing those good feelings. This track about the gratifying high of discovering that perfect song that speaks to out heart and soul.
The production here is clean, and while the build is fairly subdued for the genre, the track does indeed take the listener on a ride. The vocals are in perfect balance with the beat and build making this a well rounded track that is easy to connect with. ”
“Cali Reggae at its best!
Roots of Creation are a vibe, and their latest single, ‘Oh Lord’ will take you straight to church. No, not that kind of church. I am talking about the kind of spiritual engagement that goes beyond the walls of any institution and delves into the groove and rhythm of life.
This is the kind of track you jam riding solo, or while stoking an ember on your way to enlightenment. Or you can blast it with friends and all sing along. Either way you will be happy listening. ”
“Brody Brown drops this up-tempo track that settles into a melodic groove right from the start. ‘Eyes On Me’ delivers a hypnotic flow and a memorable hook that holds the listener’s attention. The production and video are both clean and tight and match the smooth ride of the song itself. I was left wanting more which is always the earmark of an entertaining and engaging track.”
“TFM King P is repping the Midwest with his sound and energy. This St Louis rapper is hitting us with that ‘Ouuuu.’
Inspired by Instagram Influencers on this track, he unleashes this rapid flow with precision and a confident wit that sells the track well. Riding an infectious Trap beat and varying flow the track stays out of the steady staccato cadence that dooms so many Trap tracks to sounding exactly the same. If this track doesn’t get you moving I fear nothing will.”
“Riding a pure Pop sound, sadboi unleashes a heartfelt love song about a long-distance relationship. Fans of Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Harry Style will enjoy this sweet track called, ‘Cover You In Chocolate.’
Loving from afar is always tough, but hey, chocolate does make most things better so perhaps this track is just what such a couple needs to feel the love and connection until they can once again come together for a taste of each other.”
“Regular readers of these reviews are no stranger to San Diego Pop star Estella Dawn, as we have featured a handful of tracks from this rising talent. ‘Just Me’ is but the latest in a strong repertoire of songs. Utilizing two different vocal flows that play off each other and help bring out the emotions this track showcases the versatility of Dawn’s talent.
The vibe is sultry defiance and the emotions range from anger to determined resolve and all of it is performed with a genuine honesty and openness that many artists struggle to find.”
“A sultry playful build is the earmark of “PL4Y” from REYSHA RAMI. This Electro Pop track has some vintage Madonna vibes mixed with a bit of Dua Lipa inspiration.
The song is on the shorter side, though it packs a lot of energy and verve into less than two minutes. Feels like a sexual hype track in the best of ways.”
“I suppose it is rather ironic, but there is a lot of great Americana music being created by Canadians these days, and Amelie Patterson certainly joins that select group. ‘The War’ has Folk and Indie Rock elements and is tough to categorize like a lot of Americana.
No doubt there will Brandi Carlile comparisons, and that is an apt similarity, but no mistake, no matter what artists served as her inspiration, Patterson is a talented and capable artist creating her own sound. Deeply emotional and brooding in the build, this is a track that I will listen to over and over again to extract every last drop of nuance and meaning.”
“ Like can become hard, and Lance Tingey tells what he is going through with his rough patch. He talks about the nights where he fights sleep and his demands.

“The fusion of classic reggae production and the raw, wretched vocals of the artist make a perfect musical marriage. The story line lyrically is brilliant and keeps the listener listening the full way through. The playful inserts by the brass section gives and adds color to the track where never giving the song a change to be repetitive.”
“Lyricism and story telling all over a bumping trap beat. You can hear the conviction in the artist voice which makes the lyrics that much more believable. Simple and to the point. Both lyricist both ride the beat on their own unique cadences and flows. I would recommend for any turn up playlist”
“You can’t help but nod your head as production and vocalist playfully introduce themselves at the beginning of the record. The female and male vocalist compliment each other while never overpowering the other. The skillful use of the auto tune to keep the vocals both fresh but also tonal shows the artist musicality. Great listen. ”
“The vocals come off as both raw but clean at the same time. Reminiscent of Selena the way she croons her way over the techno style production. A perfect musical fusion of modern day techno and early 90s bop.”
“ The song immediately hits you with a birth of energy. Trancy vocals with guitar riffs that make you feel as if you’re being sucked in through a tunnel of musicality. Definitely a tune that makes you want to get up and dance. ”
