“Francis On My Mind delivers an energetic and motivating commercial track “This Is My Time”. The song embraces journey and focuses on what is right in front of you. It’s about finding your area to play and development in without wanting to look for something else. The song provides excitement for anyone who is ready to get out and recognize their full potential. ”
“The talent is strong in this track. It infuses Jazz and Hip-Hop with a poetic tempo. I was moved by the beat more than anything because the overall verses created different vibes. The infusement of talent reminds me of Anthony Hamilton but it also shows a good range”
“Orrin submits some good tracks then some tracks that are decent. This is a decent track. A to Z takes you on a journey of different sounds and vibes. It makes you want to dance but part of the autotune doesn’t contribute to the cadence of the song. Some people make rock with it and some people my just vibe to the beat and tune out the lyrics. ”
“Some people are in their soft girl era but it’s time for their villain era. Paytra has incredible songwriting that relates to good girls who do a lot and try to keep an image. Then one day they realize they want more and choose to live on the edge. The song starts off a little premature but delivers empowerment and energy.”
“Some people may think it’s a guilty pleasure but addiction is a terrible battle that many fight. FlexpackFACE delivers a conscious Hip-Hop track over a POP like melody. He discusses his relationship with addiction before and after sobriety. The flow is direct, clear, and consistency. It allows any listener to follow his battle and be clear of the journey.”
“Lauren Dair takes us on a fantasy ride “For the Gods”. This electro pop romantic track is about loving someone like a fantasy. It uplifts your spirits and allows your heart to explore the universe of love. This is a very descriptive track that gives like to your imagination. ”
“Alli Fitz “Falling Star” is about wanting to fall head over hills in love with someone. This dance hall track with uplift anyone that listens to it. It stays consistent with the mix of happy, romantic, and commercial. The ending gives us a little solo action but it still builds a musical connection to the rest of the song.”
“This track finds its own path. It is percussive and moody with an uptempo beat that you can groove to. It also gives off a girl empowerment anthem. Raaqel expresses true feelings and alignment in this Lofi Hip-Hop track TYK. You will have to listen to the song to understand what TYK means.”
“I appreciate Di Ruption incorporating “Problems” as a lyric video. It allows the listener to be more engaged outside of a vibin Reggae beat. Problems gives you a dance tempo over lyrics of pain. As Di Ruption expresses the issues and hurt. To me its like a gospel reggae track. ”
“A soft, raw vocal performance that makes the listener feel as if you’re right there in front of Christina Trocchio. Enchanting. Chill. The use of the electric piano and soft drums pats to carry the vocals is the perfect match. The use of harmonies to add texture to already soulful and heartfelt vocal leads. This is a beautiful composition that feels as good as rain on a hot summer day.”
“This song is a burst of energy from the introduction of the electric guitar at the beginning of the song. Casino Havana delivers a pure rock and roll smash. Well versed lyrics and storytelling over banging drums and violent guitar strums. The lead vocalist carries the song with his intense, aggressive vocals while still giving your vocalist deliverance that blesses the ears with its melodies. If you put all the elements of rock into a pot and created a song, this would be it. Great song. Even greater listen.”
“Tommi Waring’s vocals are warm, vibrant and tonally beautiful. This song has the bounce and tempo of an 80s style soul jam which isn’t often found in today’s music. The choice of instruments gives the song a natural retro feel and adds a natural funk. This song is a jam and is sure to turn into room into a party. ”
“Connor Kauffman is an artist I’ve featured before and once again he’s blown me away with his talent and emotive expressions of the human condition.
Not everyone deserves second or third chances, even if you happen to share DNA with that person. Though that is a tough thing to accept because we are all conditioned to believe blood is thicker than water and that is exactly why some grievances hurt worse than others.
Kauffman uses his talent to share this experience and in doing so helps us find our own healing path all while being entertained by his stellar performance.”
“Deaf Andrews brings a whiff of nostalgia in both their sound and writing. At least on this track. We all experience that flashback of sentimentality so the song is certainly relatable, no matter when you grew up.
This is timeless Indie rock with a nice energy and balance of musical talent and thoughtful well delivered vocals. Can’t wait to hear more offerings from this talented group of friends.”
“Love is fraught with so many pitfalls and unfortunately cash can be a big one. Falling for a girl outside your means with $ in her eyes can be a frustrating endeavor and Summonte showcases that with this track. ‘OOHS &AAHS’ has an unconventional hook that is more sounds than anything else, but it works and the energy carries the track forward. I found myself moving and singing along to this relatable song.”
“Landon Keller brings the roadhouse gospel to yo your ears with ‘Bloom.’ Singer/Songwriter, Blues, Americana ... no matter what you call it the sound here is timeless and emotive and simply sings to the human condition.
You can draw comparisons to Nathaniel Rateliff or Charley Crocket perhaps if you need a musical reference but Keller infuses a bit of the deep South that makes me crave a Mint Julep and a plate of fried shrimp to ingest while I contemplate the emotions of life.”
“Coming with a Pop Punk vibe that is a bit in your face, Nothing but a Nightmare, taps into an early 2000’s vibe with their sound and style. ‘She Always Ruins A Good Time’ walks that ragged edge and offers up multiple viewpoints as well as a nice variation in the arrangement and build.
The writing is relatable and the energy palpable. A fun anthem to tilt your head back and song along to with all that you have.”
“If Rock and Roll Gospel were a genre, this track just might be its benchmark song. Alfie Sharp delivers vocal talent and an undeniable energy to the performance, but the track also boast provocative lyrics that will both entertain and make you stop and think at the same time.
If ‘All Or Nothing’ is the choice, this track certainly gives its all.”
“Riding an electric, pure Indie Rock sound and style Tony Salomone joins a long line of provocative raconteurs. This one hit me like Jack White joins the Arctic Monkeys. HIgh energy and fun to join in and song along with, this might be the most fun you can have with a ‘Red Light’ this side of Amsterdam.”
“It has been said ... that all good things must end, but for songwriters sometimes it is these ending that pave the way for the best material.
Distilling emotions into an intoxicating outlet is a talent, and Paul Cook & The Chronicles are certainly able to do that, but the band also has the musical and vocal chops to tell their stories in an engaging way. There is a touch of Lennon here for me and I was invested from the very beginning. ”
