“High energy music with chill and mellow vocals. I love how the production plays with your emotions by going from being complimentary to the vocalist during the verses, then churning in the bass in the hook to compliment the harmonies. High energy, head bopping music.”
“I’ve never heard a trap song that gave game about how to make money while still riding; like it could be played in the club. Creative and original concept. The production has a uptempo beat that keeps you moving while ingesting useful information on stocks as well as credit. This artist could definitely be on to something with his “Financial Trapping”. ”
“The song comes on with a burst of energy that immediately draws me in as a listener. The lead vocals are crisp, clear and powerful and the playful instrumentation of the guitar and drums compliment the vocalist to the fullest. Feel good music at its finest. ”

“ In a time where afro beats is the new trend, this song does not disappoint.
Smooth vocals that sit right in the pocket of the beat. Simple and sweet production. This song is definitely a dance club vibe sure to leave your hips winding and your head rocking. Great summer playlist add. ”
“This song sounds it came straight off the 80s tv show the “Music Box”. It breathes early 90s nostalgia. The vocals are simple but crisp and the vocals does just enough to make this song jam. ”
“The song has an undeniable bop that keeps your head bopping. The production sounds like 80s pop mixed with modern day house vibes. The vocalist almost computer toned vocals ride the beat perfectly. Smooth tune for any good rave or party vibe.”
“Reemerging after a difficult breakup is tough, and comes on a unique timeline for everyone, though the magical realization that suddenly you are going to be okay is a true revelation and that is exactly what this track captures.
Someone Else’s Rain delivers the song with a smooth easy groove and ‘Cry Them For You,’ is a timeless emotional jam as a result. Heartfelt and genuine this is a song that will have lasting power as it transcends both time and genre. ”
“This track is an ode the dreamers, the chasers, the ones that defy the odds and achieve their goals despite the odds and the critics.
Will Solomon hails from Kentucky, but now calls Seattle home, and you can almost hear the influence of both places. There is a rustic Americana vibe that John Prine would be proud of, as well as an attitude and defiance that could be found in the 90s in the grunge sound. This track certainly isn’t grunge, but there is a subtle edge and bold resistance to what others say that is certainly Rock and Roll at its heart. ”
“Sammy Adams has already defied the odds and bounced back from a life threating accident. Such near death experiences can bring out the best in artists and that very well may be the case here. ‘Attention’ is an energic track that will get you moving and feeling good so it is a perfect add to any uplifting playlists. You will be singing along to this track long after the last note has went down.”
“Bo Baskoro delivers a track that has some Commercial, Pop elements but also is rooted in an emotional foundation more reminiscent of singer/songwriter type tracks. ‘Holding You Over’ is about that relationship that isn’t bad but isn’t exactly forever either. Especially for one half of the equation that always seems to be searching for something better and using you as a placeholder.”
“Connecticut might not be the most common place for a Hip Hop artist to merge from, but Cruzz is certainly putting out notice that quality rappers can come from anywhere. His lyrical aptitude and smooth easy delivery combine to create ‘Going Up,’ a track that is all about vibe and confidence.
The flow allows the writing to shine, and the arrangement lets the emotions land with a deliberate force that many so-called hard-edged tracks, fail to achieve. Make no mistake this track has punch, it just happens to deliver it with unnecessary bluster or the false bravado that so many other tracks rely on to get their intent across.”
“Lauren Rintoul takes us on a breakup journey though this isn’t necessarily a track about heart break and the ache afterward as much as it is the guilt and uncertainty of being the one to end it and wondering if you did the right thing.
’Lost Art’ is an emotive and honest look at knowing you aren’t in love but also wanting to be a good decent person and handle the break up in the right way. Delivered in a tender, singer/songwriter kind of way the song is easily relatable.”
“The rhythm of the beat hit me first and then Glo Laila’s soft and vulnerable vocals took over as the driving force of the track. ‘Deal’ is a relationship song that puts the prospect of love on legal terms with a contract and set of rules that unfortunately rarely if ever applies toa affairs of the heart. And the realization that there are no guarantees in love ahs left us all feeling as vulnerable as this track feels. ”
“This track from Mati is exactly what the title says it is — ‘Life Notes.’ Delivered in a smooth easy groove about the ebbs and flows of life and the emotions we all deal with on a day to day basis the track simply hits.
I’m tempted to call this easy listening Hip-Hop, but only because it is delivered in a calm, steady flow that is easy to fall in on. Some might confuse the term easy-listening for boring elevator music, but this track is anything but boring. It is real and genuine and speaks straight to the human condition. ”
“R3HAb and INNA team up to put a new unique spin on Sash!’s iconic 90s hit ‘Ecuador.’ The build and beat are the same, though the vocals and lyrical build make this feel like a completely different song.
’Rock My Body’ is a high energy Dance Pop track with one foot in the past and one solidly here in the present. No the track isn’t reinventing anything, but it is highly danceable and a groove you will fall in on quickly.”
“Written in the height of Covid lockdowns amid a landscape of widespread global depression, Filippa Borgamn gives us a story of sorrow that rings not only as plausible, but outright believable.
’Broken Man & A Shoe’ takes elements from Elton John, Folk, and Pop to create a track that is as full of life as it is sadness. This is a song of the human condition created by a talented artist that transcends any one genre or style to create an artful and meaningful emotional response.”
“When Killa Kid comes in with his flow the passion, anger, intensity, and confidence all land with a deliberate force to fully impact the listener. The backing vocals set up those emotions well on this track about keeping it real when those who once talked shit and hated on your dream come slithering out once you find success as if they’ve been there by your side all along.
’Don’t Do That’ holds this brand of coward accountable for their BS and the intensity of the delivery will have you feeling it deep inside your chest.”
“Electro R&B anyone?
Okay, so that isn’t exactly an official genre, but if it was ‘Rush’ from Ben alexander and Arya would top the charts right now. With a smooth, almost early 90s synth vibe, and a classic R&B vocal groove the track blends not only genres, but eras of music and still somehow feels contemporary and fresh in doing so. ”
“ Swedish songsmith, Omar Rudberg might not be on your radar yet, but he should be. ‘She Fell In Love That Summer’ is songwriting at its best, an emotional movie unfurled in under three minutes.
The delivery is emotive and powerful and sweeps the listener up and along. There are a million love inspired songs, so it is never easy to create another that takes you for the same up and down ride relationships often do, but Rudberg has certainly delivered on this track.”
“Aiida unleashes a Pop gem with ‘Stupid Perfect.’ The energetic track is about second guessing a new love as that initial phase of euphoria slides into a warped brand of logic where you begin to ask yourself ... is this real? What am I missing? Nobody is this nice all the time.
Call it the Too Good To Be True Syndrome in musical form. And Aiida deliver the track with a fun tempo and melodic build that almost contradicts the mind games she’s plating on herself with self doubt. ”
