“Croony, classic rock vocals and harmonies. Skillful, heart jerking musical performance by the band which only goes to further compliment the overall composition. Well written, well performed. Gives me the feel of when Arrow Smith was everything. This could definitely be a rock classic. ”
“You can never go wrong with live instrumentation. Then out of nowhere, boom they crank up the west coast chords. Aggressive hip hop over a jamming musical arrangement. This track could make any 90s style playlist. Gives me Wu Tang energy. Dope listen. it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
“Melodic vocals meshed with straight the the point lyrics. The productions bangs and keeps you nodding. Reminiscent of juice world with its own unique twist. Vocals on point. Electric guitar adds just enough rawness to give it a rock edge. ”
“I love the hook. It’s catchy and fresh. Its dope how the artist fuse very serious lyrics over such a placement musical arrangement. The way the artist switches up his cadence every couple of bars shows great skills as an mc. Then having song end on a piano solo was very crafty and well thought out. Overall great listen. Would love to hear more from this artist .”
“Real Recognize Rio never disappoints. Aggressive bars that grab your attention from the Acapella intro. Hard hitting 808s mixed with sharp snares. Even though this is your traditional “trap” song, you can’t sleep on the witty wordplay from Rio. This song makes you wanna get up and make a move. High energy banger. ”
“I’m here for the vocals. This artist and song are smooth. The song gives me down by the water vibes. Feet in the ocean with the ocean breeze in your hair. “Come get loved from a rich man” is a classic, self explanatory bar. This track is well produced, well arranged, and a great overall listen.”
“New wave Kid Cudi -ish vibes. The electronic production put together over trap drums and unorthodox auto-tuned flow. This is real life party music. Could put this in your headphones and really catch a vibe. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“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. ”
“This song has a big sound. I could hear it for any modern day female superhero movie. Great energy in the production. Simple and catchy hook. Definitely a dance party vibe. ”
“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.”
