Just Leila-Bits of Pieces [Review]

May 15, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Fresh sound with light, angelic vocals. Dreamy vibes over live instruments fused with new wave production. This is a jam. Never heard pop delivered this way. This artist has her own unique sound that I would love to hear more from. ”

    Social Drag - Remind Me [Music Review]

    May 13, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Adult Contemporary, Country, Rock

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This track from Social Drag feels a bit like a 90s throwback. Could have been released then as Country with an edge, or a Sheryl Crow-esque track about the emotions of failed relationships, but that is not to say the single is dated. It’s not.

    And while ‘Remind Me’ doesn’t quite fit the Outlaw or Americana sound of today’s Alt-Country, labels are not what good music is about anyway, and neither are timestamps. This track simply conveys the emotions it was intended with solid talent behind it so for me or anyone to place it in a strict category is a waste of time.

    Listen and enjoy, or feel and wallow if you prefer, but either way the intent of the song was established and delivered, and in the the end ... that’s all that matters in the subjective world of expressive art. ”

      Makeshift One - Death Reborn [Review]

      May 12, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “The epitome of Hip Hop. Knocking kicks and snares with witty lyrics. The tone of the artist voice allows you to hear the conviction in his lyrics. Well arranged even though the artist doesn’t necessarily ride the beat in the “tradition” way of on beat cadence. Unique, fresh flip on classic Hip Hop.”

        “Not a second wasted on this track. I was drawn in by the auto-tuned vocals from the intro. The artist really rides the pocket of the production perfectly complimenting it as it compliments his delivery as well. Short sweet and to the point. I would love to hear more from this artist. ”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The energy from this track jumps out the speakers from the beginning. Reminds me of those classic alternative rock songs of the 2000s. Feel good, party music with lyrics that pull at the listeners heart strings. If you’re not dancing from beginning to end on this track, you may need to get your pulse checked. Quality production and instrumentation. Clear mix. Well composed. Great listen.”

            “A well delivered production of one of music’s most classic productions. Although this could be seen as just a loop, it still has enough going on to where an artist could get on it and really make something of substance. The producer most definitely delivered with this new version of such a classic hit. ”

                “The piano draws the listener in from the 1st second of the song. Auto tuned yet emotionally invoking lyrics let you into the mind frame of this young artist. Gives Young Durk at certain parts in the track but at the same token the artist didn’t disappoint with the delivery. Overall great listen. ”

                  “You can never lose with a lead guitar intro. 90s style vocals as well as delivery. A nostalgic musical groove. Simple production. Straight to the point messaging and well delivered tunes. The accent of the maraca in the background and Tamborine show attention to the smallest of details in the production of the song”

                    “You can feel the emotion of the artist jumping through the speakers. The vocals carelessly ride the beat almost blending in as its own instrument. The production is simple but modern with the addition of synths and the snares and kicks of the percussion. Very emotionally driven track that takes you through a rollercoaster of musical genius from state to finish. ”

                      “This husband and wife duo, deliver a passionate and funky little groove. The Locksmiths have a sound that reminded me of Nathanial Rateliff brand of Americana Soul a bit. ‘2 Handz’ also has some classic rock elements from a bygone era but still manages to sound and feel contemporary because of the artful songwriting and playful back and forth between them. ”

                        “A nostalgic track that harkens to the Pop Punk sound of the 90s with a infusion of Contemporary angst. You can hear a dozen musical inspirations but in the end it is Alexx Bean’s vocal talent and emotional prowess that brings the track to life. ‘Right Where You Left Me’ will have you singing and bouncing along and thoroughly convinced you’ve been listening to this jam for years now. ”

                          “Lyrically compelling. Reminiscent of early Machine Gunn Kelly but in its own freshly revised way. Love the way the artist switches his cadences in and out. The post production “I’m Leaving with something” is ingenious in itself and shows the artist/producers attention to the smallest of details to deliver such a great listen.”

Was not expecting the Spanish twist but its perfectly timed and flows within in the pocket of the song. Sure to keep you on your feet and rocking from start to finish. Love the smooth crooning of the male vocals.”

                                  “Angelic introduction vocals over well delivered lead guitar riffs open this song up with enough emotion to leave the listener with goosebumps. The whispery delivery of the lyrics give this track an added level of emotion already pouring out through its production. Mellow, moody lyrics delivered in the cleanest way vocally possible. Would love to hear more.”

                                    “New age Eminem vibes mixed with the vocal flips of a Kendrick Lamar style track. Production has head knocking bass that compliments the energy of the artist. The clarinet/flute adds its own smooth flare over this otherwise energetic, raw track. ”

                                      “Euro, 80s pop fusion. Unorthodox in all the right ways. Raw, Tony vocals over elegant piano riffs and strings. The build up of the song into its full flow is gradual but well timed to fit the purpose of the song. Great listen. ”

                                        “Pure, clean vocals meshed with emotionally driven, heartfelt lyrics make this song a must listen. Powerful messaging. Love the way the song starts over a guitar solo and immediately builds with the percussions before the second verse. Very well put together composition.”
