Noak Hellsing - When The Shadows Go Home [Music Review]

May 25, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“An energetic beat and build contrasts the darker nature of these lyrics. Noak Hellsing unfurls ‘When The Shadows Go Home,’ a track about trying to connect in a world that is increasingly divided and fake. Being content alone with your thoughts is uncomfortable for many and the contrasting layers help to express that set of emotions quite well on this track.”

    Andrea Clute - Nervous [Music Video Review]

    May 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Contemporary R&B, Commercial, Adult Contemporary

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Andrea Clute drops this emotionally vulnerable and honest track about getting ‘Nervous’ in the presence of a crush or new romantic interest. The soft Pop style vocals work well and feel genuine. This is a straightforward track that most of us can relate to at some point in our lives. I like the way the track builds and you can almost hear an escalating heartbeat in the rhythm of the music. ”

      WACHO! - In Case You Wonder [Music Review]

      May 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Alternative

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “We have featured WACHO! before and this talented artist is back with, ‘In Case You Wonder.’ The lyrical groove pairs nicely with a melodic groove and rhythmic beat that instills an easy groove. This Argentinian now calls Fort Worth, Texas home and as a Texan myself I appreciate the diverse musical talent that calls North Texas home. You will too once you add this vibe to your own playlists.”

            “This song has “Big Pop” energy. Well written enough to relate to but poppy enough to appeal to a wide range of demographics and listeners. Could also hear this song as a soundtrack cut for any Disney style movie. The vocalist delivers on every note by doing just enough without doing too much. Well delivered.”

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “This song reminds me of when R&B was prominent. Smooth, chill vocal harmonies and well delivered verses and vocals. The playful in and out the background vocalists as she harmonizes with the lead give this song an added texture. The simple, live band composition blend masterfully with the vocals. Feel good music. Feel good vibe. Feel good tune. ”

                Yung Gravy - Goodness Gracious (with bbno$) [Music Video Review]

                May 20, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Yung Gravy is always a vibe. Some might want to dismiss his talents given the humor that is always prevalent in his work, but to do so would be wrong because Gravy’s verve goes far beyond making you smile. The cool calm confidence and razor sharp lyrics showcase the depth of his talent and here BBNO$ (Baby No Money) joins in giving off the same brand of fun talent. The video is a mood in itself and every element here plays to the other in a fun way.

                But don’t sleep on the catchy lines which really are smart and intelligent in their jocularity, yet still impactful beyond that..”

                  “Man vs Monkey teams with the vocal talents of Dutch singer, Bymia to unleash this emotive build and infectious beat. ‘When I’m 22’ is a lyrical jewel that will make you think and reflect regardless of your current trips around the sun count. The music will make you move and the words will make you ponder what it all means in the best of ways.

                            “ If you like rock, you’ll love this. Aggressive yet smooth musical composition complimented by strong well song vocals from the lead. The electric guitar in the production keeps the energy of the song throughout. The build up from the verses to the hook are in flow of the song but build the song to be even bigger as it goes into the bridge and out into a full all jam session.”

                                  “The way this song comes on is just plain beautiful to say the least. This song could help any desiring artist create a melodic and heart wrenching track. The mid song change of production and the loop itself accompanied by the chords adds even more layers to this already masterful instrumental. This is a HUGE track and that’s without the compliment of lyrics. Great production.”

                                    “High energy verses over simple but knocking trap production. This song gives a real Euro rap scene vibe. Then the producer switches the beat from trap to house which could bring this song an even broader audience. Each artist compliments the next and never lets the energy drop while passing along the flow. Love all the difference transitions the music makes to keep the song fresh the full ride through.”

                                      “ If a breezy, summer in the sand with a cooler full of beer was a song, this would be it. Chill electric guitar riffs with simple snare and hi hats create a great ride along composition. I could hear this song on any 80s themed party movie as well. The artist somehow channels 80s/ early 90s nostalgia through his vocal delivery over this fun beat. ”

                                        “The unorthodox mix of the artist “Danny Brownish” style vocals and lyrics over such an unconventional production. The awkward minor chords, fused with the soultry vocals that into out of nowhere adding texture and emotion to the track. It also feels and sounds like a tv episode over a chill beat. Would love to hear more from this artist. ”
