Media House - Car Sales Men [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The melody and build here offer a timeless sound that honestly could come from any of the last three decades. The writing is sharp and the vocals sell the emotion quite well.

Media House is a band that sort of falls between the genre cracks as they have a diverse sound in the two tracks I have heard, This, ‘Car Sales Men’ being my favorite of the two though I will definitely be checking out more of the band’s work as both submissions were quality. Don’t sleep on the lyrical metaphor here that is very cleverly crafted.”

JUICYPEAR- This Is Love [Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“80s dance music revised with a fresh breath of modern air. Airy, sensual vocals. A pity pat, uptempo musical arrangement. Everything about this song schemes nostalgia. It’s trancy. Its gnarly, yet it’s chill and still a burst of positive energy. This is the song you close your eyes and just let take you away. Hands in the air, hair in the breeze. This music is love over a beat.”

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A playful, Hip-Hop styled love ballad. Even though this song is heavily hip hop influenced, you can hear and feel the Caribbean influence as well. The hook is catchy and the vocalist delivers with both energy and smooth vocals. The second verse doesn’t disappoint. Each artist compliments the other while making a feel good, summer jam.”

“Lyrics with substance meshed with pockets of melodic genius. The way the artist and beat compliment each other are the perfect musical marriage. “If you ain’t hungry, can’t be around you” is such a powerful mindset and message pushed throughout this track. Get up and go get it type of music. Truthful conviction over a dope beat.”

Joseph G -Moncler [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Latin trap is alive and well with tracks like this. A traditional trap beat being assassinated by the versatile flows from Joseph G. The bass knocks in the background over skillful guitar that gives you the feel of a western movie standoff. This track is sure to turn up any club or party and keep the speakers in your trunk knocking. ”

YEE! El- Flechazo [Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This song has the spirit of all the teeny, bop, soft rock jams of the 80s. It’s fun. It’s upbeat. You can hear the Blink 182 influence in the composition and arrangement of the production. The hook sounds huge. It gives the song an added layer from the chillness of the verse. To add the icing on the cake, the instrumental solo in between verses that allows the lead guitarist to shine. This party is just an overall feel good time.”

Pavy Nobu- Malibu [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“An emotional rollercoaster over a melodic trap beat. Pavy holds no punches in letting us know exactly how he feels about whoever broke his heart. A open book of emotion and melody. The vocals and range can at points put in you the mind of the late great Juiice World. This song is a jam and relatable to anyone who has ever felt real heartbreak and resentment. Music is supposed to be look into the artist soul and this soul is just that. ”

Diane Gentile and the Gentle Men - Walk With Me featuring Alejandro Escovedo [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Americana can be a tough genre to pin down but this track from Diane Gentile and Austin songwriting stalwart, Alejandro Escoveda might very well set the bar for the genre. Poetic and emotional lyrics over a steady heartfelt delivery that hook the listener in every way. ‘Walk with Me’ offers timeless sound and talent with perfectly matched imagery for the video.

The track offers hints of Emmylou and Springsteen with an ode to Dylan on the side.”
