“Kevin Ross allows us to circle back in time with with this RnB track “Don’t Pretend”. The song focuses on emotions layered with physical touch of the soul. It’s about expressing yourself and allowing yourself to embrace the moments that make you happy”
“Big Boss going to give us a hard beat with a hard hook. Usually when you have one hit its hard to drop another song thats a hit.Well Big Boss Vette continues to be one of the biggest new breakout artists out of St. Louis.Her latest single “ION NEED” is pure presidential lyrical status that will have every one rocking to it.”
“Life can be confusing. People want you to be who they want to be instead of tryin got understand who you are. 19AD4 talks about how things doesn’t make sense but its really because people don’t try to understand. The song is upbeat as well a with a little retro.”
“Once a player doesn’t mean you are always a player. This song is pure soul as the hope of love is addressed through the vocals of Elle. You tend to be a different person when the heart is involved but no one wants to be played.”
“ I like the track. It intertwines folk and country together. As a transgender singer-songwriter Ryan Cassata speaks about forever being a Daddy’s Girl at heart but finding true self at the same time. The string of guitars allows you to pull into the emotion of dad and Ryan.”
“Erik Cain’s “Pride” starts off with a strong hip-hop melody that reminds you of Jay-Z’s “Song Cry”. He speaks on foundation, and the journey of finding his way. The song is meant to tell a story but also motivate anyone who is listening. The song is poetic and goes straight to church toward the end, where you will find yourself clapping as well.”
“This would have been a perfect release for Mother’s Day. The song is melodic which paints a visual of memory while highlighting everything that a mother is. Whether your mom is present or has passed “Kind of Mom” allows a listener to really embrace every memory. ”
“Three Second Chances brings the energy and a throwback spirit on their new track, ‘Living Out Loud.’ If P!nk put out a disco track I imagine it would sound a lot like this though the vocals here have a bit of 80s tone and style as well. The track still manages to feel contemporary and easily swept me up and along for the build. ”
“Dutch duo, Vicetone, drops this danceable EDM track but don’t let yourself think this is a catchy beat with throwaway lyrics. The tone is light and airy but there is genuine emotion at the heart and a spirit of home to the build and progression. This is the kind of track that really grows on you with each listen so add it to your playlists and dig in, because this song as well as ‘The World Has A Heartbeat,’ and if you listen in you will both hear and feel it. ”
“Leroy From The North gives us a track that feels a bit like sitting on a bar stool and having a beer while listening to your buddy tell you about the girl he just met. You could call this Southern Rock or Americana as it has both Petty and Sturgill vibes for sure. Easy to listen to and find your own emotional relevance ‘Push’ is a track I will be adding to several of my personal playlists. ”
“This song will remind you of a pop boy band, It speaks about wanting something in life and manifesting having it. “Drug” is a group that delivers a healing frequency in their songs. I defiantly dig the guitar solo and the choir like sound after the 3 mark”
“This song somehow manages to clash toney vocals over keys that at times don’t even seem to match the harmonies of the lead vocalist into a real bop. The cringy electric piano keys and the chanty vocals on the hook give this song a natural bounce that keeps your head nodding. The artist ability to go from vocals to rapping shows great skill from an artist perspective. Great listen.”
“A cinematic introduction that leads right into substance filled, story telling lyrics. This artist shows a great range of lyricism delivering inspiring but real life, heart felt lyrics. You can hear the conviction in the artist delivery. The angelic adlib tracks from the female vocal add even more soul to this already soulful track. ”
“This song hits you with a burst of life as soon as the snare and kick come in. Didn’t expect the soft, whispery tone from the lead vocalist but it somehow fits the beat perfectly. The way electric guitar somewhat adlibs with vocals on the verse add a clever level of musicianship to this song. Fun, high energy music. Sure to have to you dancing on your bed from start to finish.”
“The track goes hard. The artist voice cuts through the track clear and crisp. This artist is really talking that bragadoshis talk. Detroit style beat production and straight the point, raw bars.”
“They say the West Side is the best side, Of course that’ where you can catch us keeping it on lock. Dream Ear mixes old school west coast beats with new school west coast beats infused with legendary Too $hort. The track does hit hard and delivers inventive wordplay as describe. It is truly a coming of age song that will have you vibing. ”
“The artist vocals go through your ears and speak right to your soul. The guitar and kick add just enough production to the this track to give the artist room to really showcase her vocal prowess. Beautifully arranged and composed. The accent of the harmonies that begin to show up in the second verse build and add texture and a new energy to the song. Mellow vibe. Emotionally evoking track that makes your heart cry all throughout. Could also see this song as a soundtrack cut in any modern day love or romance flick. ”
“This track is a burst of energy from the jump. I love the mesh of the soft vocal timbre of the artist over the raw and aggressive drum pattens of the composition. The hook is catchy, beautifully composed and easy to sing along to. The energy in this track is captivating. Great uptempo love song and overall composition. I like the rawness of unpolished sound of the instrumental solo on the bridge which clears out into a clean break down where the artist just croons away at your heart. Well put together. Would love to hear more from this artist. ”
“This song could soundtrack any 80s themed moved. The hook is simple yet catchy. The production is receptive yet full of life. Even knowing where to let the song actually breathe and let the listener just jam out to the instrumentation shows detail and skill. An overall great listen .”
Rating: 4 out of 5
“I like the way the song builds up to the introduction of the vocalist. Enchanting, crisp vocals. Simple production that is sure to leave you rocking from state to finish. Love how the artist breaks down in the mini bridge just to build back up for the 2nd verse and hook. The difference cadences and in and outs of the instruments leaves the listener wondering what’s coming next on the track. A overall great listen”
