Indecent Proposal - Behind Her Eyes [Music Video Review]

November 21, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Alternative, Americana

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“My closest comparison to the sound and vibe of this track from new band Indecent Proposal is the Black Crowes. ‘Behind Her Eys’ has a rock ballad feel but hints of Americana lurk in the sound and the result is an emotionally-fueled track that is the perfect accompaniment to a psychedelic trip or a calming jam session for that cross-country road trip.”

    Kuttem Reese - "TYFNB" + REESE EP [Music Video Review]

    November 21, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Trap, Rap, Hip-Hop, Autotune

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “Kuttem Reese is pissed to hit that next level. The Orlando, Florida rapper is a Hip-Hop star on the rise and his new eighteen track album is more fuel on the fire.

    This track is about remembering the path and the pitfalls, the haters, the doubter, the struggle it took to climb the ladder. The video adds to the vibes and really dials in the track’s lyrical intent which is delivered with precision and a smooth talent. ”

      KJ(!) - Good Day [Music Review]

      November 21, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, R&B, Adult Contemporary

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Looking for something different? Look no further than KJ(!)’squirky track ‘Good Day.’

      Riding a funking beat and simple, yet catchy lyrical hook the track is simply infectious in the best ways. I couldn’t stop listing the first time and the same has hel through multiple listens though I am hard-pressed to explain why.

      The track has a friendly vibe like a bit of advice from a friend telling you not to let the world grind you down and the arrangement is simply fun. The talent is there though the track has a simple brilliance to it that carries the day. ”

        David Davenchy - The Day I Saw You [Music Review]

        November 19, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Trap, Rap, Music, Hip-Hop

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “David Davenchy’s track, ‘The Day I Saw You’ hooked me with it’s lyrical realness. The delivery is steady and the tone showcases Davenchy’s talent, though I did crave a touch more energy or passion pushing the flow forward. The writing is true and honest and that is what really shined brightest for me with this track.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Tony Salomone taps into a rich vein of rock history to give us ‘Daylight.’ The infectious beat and steady vocal delivery is almost timeless in sound and style yet the track has a decided contemporary vibe and verve. Pure Rock and Roll with an edge and vocal groove that sticks in your ears long after the last note. ”

            Rosa Mack - When I'm Alone [Music Video Review]

            November 19, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, blues, Soul

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Rosa Mack delivers this track with silky smooth power. The blues-charged soul track is a gospel of sorts for self-empowerment.

            ’When I’m Alone’ is all about shedding what binds you and not letting others drag you down or hold you back. The track rises into a powerful crescendo, but is captivating from note one. highlighting Mack’s power not only as a vocal performance but as a songwriter.”

              The HawtThorns - All the Right Reasons [Music Review]

              November 19, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Americana, Alternative, Country

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “The HawtThorns are led by the musical talent of wife and husband duo of KP and Johnny Hawthorn. The sound is tough to put in any one genre. Americana probably works best though there are hints of 90’s Country, West Coast singer/songwriter vibes, and even a touch of acoustic Pop.

              ’All The Right Reasons’ is about looking back and realizing that person you badly wanted and needed isn’t right for you so it is a blessing that things didn’t work out.” ”

                Rating: 3.5 out of 5

                “I like how the track has a Pop syth vibe for a few beats before it delves into a 90’s Rock vibe. Clean, deliberate vocals deliver the lyrical side of the track that fits the 90s sound quite well. Good clean music always works, and yes this feels like a throwback in some ways, but Eurotripp manages to accomplish that without feeling dated or derivative. ”

                  “Thorslund is back with that hard charging rock sound that is at home no matter the decade. Get pumped for the weekend with ‘Hours To Go.’

                  The band was founded by the Thorslund brothers and takes the vintage rock sounds of the 70’s and 80s and brings them to today with fun, energetic lyrics to get you off your phone and back out in the world because this is music to move by. Be it strutting down the Sunset Strip or mashing that gas pedal and hitting the open road. ”

                    “A disintegrating relationship is brought into focus through this track by shining a spotlight on ‘That Dress.’

                    The ups and downs of love and the writing on the wall of the end is tinged blue by a spectacular dress that Bryce Drew sings about with passion and heart. The unique perspective, and Drew’s vocal power carries the day and makes the song stand out from the crowd of other tracks covering the same set of emotions. ”

                        “Comparing yourself to others, and even worse, the social media persona of people pretending their world is perfect is a dangerous thing. ‘Jealous’ is about those feelings of envy we’ve all had when looking at other peoples looks, relationships, and experiences. But we never know the full story or picture as outsiders, and chances are they are jealous of us in some way as well.

Falling love is easily but when your heart is forced to shift and let go its hard. This commercial track isn’t depressing but an emotion pop ballad.”

                                “I was more drawn to the visual aspect than the song overall. I like how Speech Debelle is placed as a muse for people to paint their own vision. As a listener it was hard to understand the lyrics outside of the 11:11. I would suggest add this video as a lyric video so people can musically engage just as they are able to visually engage. ”

                                  Celia Berk Holiday Bells Medley: Silver Bells / Carol of the Bells / Waltz #2, Opus 99 [Review]

                                  “As we prepare for the holidays Celia Berk is definitely an artist to add to the holiday playlist. I admire the soft tempo yet the ability to mix all of the holiday classics while still maintaining the original yet beautiful elegant sounds. Celia has a great dynamic range that will put anyone in the holiday spirit. ”

                                    “Ev Malone has a poetic delivery. I can picture him sitting down with a notebook taking his time on every verse. Elevate is an inspiring song that empowers people with encouraging verses and opens up positive images. I like how the tempo doesn’t change regards of the elevated scenarios given.”

                                      Kevin Quigley -Summer's End [Review]

                                      “ I like the pace the artist has. The song “Summer’s End” takes you on a journey of memories but also makes you excited to what will happen when summer is over.

                                      Kevin Quigley speeds up the tempo creating a more rock oriented sound in what would at first come off as folklore or country.”

                                        Jaydii x Supreme Khay - hot soup [Music Review]

                                        “Jaydii kicks off the first verse on ‘Hot Soup’ before Supreme Khay comes in witht he hook and later verses. THe high-energy track feels like vintage Beastie Boys mixed with some Wu Tang funk and quirk. Both flows are delivered with an engaging tone and verve that refuses to let you off the hook.”
