“Most of us have had to hit pause and wonder out loud ... “Maybe I’m Too High,” ourselves at some point in our life. This track is the soundtrack for all those moments. The delivery hits with solid timing and an emotive tone but this really is like a conversation with a friend when both of you are just a little bit, or maybe a lot of bit, messed up. A fun track for fun times. ”
“The sample sets the tone for the artist to hop onto this track with his distinct voice and carry us along a lyrical ride of story telling and melody. The hook is easy to remember and catchy. Mix that with the memories of dead pop culture icons being mentioned throughout the second verse and you have a gumbo of everything musically tasteful.”

“This song gives me California beach vibes. I can hear that track on any wave rider’s early morning playlist. Its a free spirited tune with 70s nostalgia written all over. Simple but catchy lyrics. Simply croony, vocals.”

“ I immediately felt like I was in Los Angeles as soon as the track came on. Classic West Coast banger. Simple production and unorthodox almost off beat cadence. The artist rides the pockets of the beat skillfully. Lil Primo is definitely an artist to be on the look out for. ”
“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. ”

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.”

“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.”
