“Theres such a sweet melancholy to the phrase “they’ve all got better things to do, go and head text them they won’t answer you”. This record is the perfect soundtrack to dancing while you cry and you don’t quite know if they’re happy or sad tears but tears none the less.Its skips in such a playful manner whilst chronicling the FOMO we all feel. P.S ... (text your friends back guys)”
“YGM delivers a menacing hype anthem that lets you into his world of mayhem. It’s fly, its mean and its raw... and sometimes that all you need. ”
“Tom Grennan delivers a wonderfully melancholic dance record thats will leave tears in your eyes as you sway on the dance floor. Taken from his latest LP ‘How Does It Feel’.”

“Lily graces us with this slice of modern nostalgia and bittersweet musings. Harking back to the British pop/soul before her, Summer feels fresh yet familiar, which is how love itself can feel sometimes. ”
“Lily graces us with a slice modern nostalgia. Harking back to the soulful British pop before her, ‘Summer’ feels like reminiscing about the summer you didn’t know was going to be the last with someone you love. ”
“Anyone that says love songs with substance are a thing of the past have not heard this jam from Alan Chang. The vocals are subtle but performed well enough to convey an almost conversation like piece. The art of story telling at its finest. Soft, mellow drums over raw piano. This is a beautiful cut. If Natalie didn’t know how he felt before, she sure does now. The saxophone solo at the end adds the icing to the cake.”
“The piano on this track is jazzy and skillfully played. It sets the stage for the lyrics delivered by Ezekiel. Although I would like to hear more emotion in the delivery of the lyrics, it may just be this artist unique timbre. Good, chill listen. I can understand the concept of “shadowbox” because the artist is literally lyrically sparring and sharpening his tools bar by bar. ”
“If you are a fan of the late, great XXXTentacion, then you will love this song from this artist. The trancy lyrics with the slow, chill beat are well put together. The artist delivers a chilling performance with his smooth vocals and story telling. A mix of early Drake & PND with a fresh twist. This sound is not new, but the song still translates well and sounds like its own original form of this already popular genre of mood music.”
“I like the way its just the artist and the guitar. That combination alone is always the combination for a winning song. You can hear the emotion seeping through the vocalist delivery of every word. The “hoo, hoo, hoos” are something I could hear crowds singing back during live performances. This is definitely one of those album cuts that you find and fall in love with. Just a man, his words and his music. This song is a win all around.”
“Space Acre has a sound that reminded me of the Foo Fighters meets Kate Bush. This is Rock and Roll with an edge and underlying emotion that actually says and means something. ‘That Girl’ is an anthem for anyone who identifies and female but this is a jam no matter who or what you are. And yeah, we live in a politically charge time that has some people trying to define who you are, but this is the kind of defiant track that simply doesn’t care what others think. ”
“This is what an international hit sounds like. Skillful back and forth harmonizations from talented vocalists, over a energetic dance style beat. When the beat drops and the vocals stop to let the energy just drive the song, its well played. This song is a rollercoaster of potential and kinetic energy all over a well composed song. The claps in the ladder parts of the song add the performance element to this song which would go crazy in a big arena or big stage. This song is “BIG””
“This song is a vibe. Gives Blast vibes but still has its own original flavor. The way the artist delivers sexy, chill lyrics before switching back to the melodic hook from the vocalist...this song is a summer jam. I could see this song being big across the country. It doesn’t have a regional sound, but more of a universal one. Well composed. Well written. Catchy hook and head knowing beat. You can’t lose with this track. ”
“Detroit flow at its finest. Off beat lyrical delivery but somehow right on time. The artist delivers lyrics that reflect the everyday life of most young guys growing up in urban areas. The artist has a distinctive voice that rides the beat perfectly even though it does have similarities to other artist out like Baby Iron and BabyFace Ray. This is a real bop. No hook just straight bars. The production matches the smooth delivery perfectly. Great listen.”
“A mellow track with sexy guitars, smooth lyrics, and percussions that keep the listener moving. This is a chill beach front vibe that could be played under any cabana late night. Straight to the point lyrics that tell of mistakes and love’s misfortunes. This would definitely be a track for my late night ride and chill playlist.”
“Classic rock in a modern world. Smooth vocals and harmonizations over a steady head knocking beat. The live instrumentation makes you feel as if you’re front row at a concert taking this musical masterpiece in. 80s movies vibes. Solid, love driven lyrics. This band delivers a banger with this energetic jam.”
“Life gets weird sometimes. It can feel like free-falling and Prismala is right there to catch you tonight. He might not have the answers but ‘Breathe’ makes it feel better. Soaring vocals intertwining like ballet, this song is the hug you get when you don’t even know you need it. Just close your eyes, lay back on your bed and breathe.”
“I’ve never soared from the top of a mountain with the love of my life with our wings spread wide before... but if I did this is what I imagine it would feel like. Every line in this record feels so intentional and considered. I mean “she can knit a sweater but she’d rather work on scarves” this song is written for one person and one person only and we’re lucky to to be a fly on the wall in this intimate moment. ”
“I’ll believe in anything” is the gut punch opening line from Angelo and all I have to say is Angelo... ‘WE BELIEVE IN YOU’. Stuttering drums and trance inducing guitars, Toil and Trouble is a song that feels like staring at yourself in the mirror and being honest even if it hurts. Theres an innocence to every bittersweet line. Go have a good cry to this one. ”
“$loMoneyXL has us riding on his wave with the hypnotic Waldo. Smooth yet aggressive this is one of those records that just feels like the drive with your friends before the function. With its infectious hook $lo has the soundtrack to your next ATM withdrawl.”
“Rachel Newnham is a rising artist out of the UK. Her new single, ‘Nobody Loves You Like I Do,” is an emotive and heartfelt ode to being underappreciated in a relationship. Newnham’s talented tone and genuine vulnerability is evident in every line and note. The track has a stripped down, bare feel that works well with the writing and this one will hit home for those of us who have been there. ”
“The emotional build brings engagement with the production overall. You can hear the pain and determination in the artist vocals. I like the violin around the 3 mark that really speaks to anyone listening to a “Sad Summer”. This song will have you hoping the artist sees the sun.”
