“CZTRM does a nice job of blending the produced side of this track with emotional and tender, heartfelt vocal delivery. The track has a Dance/Deep House vibe in the beat and overall build. The energy is light, but engaging.
Vocally, the delivery sparkles with life and just calls to the human soul. This is the kind of track that can turn your entire mood around. Uplifting without being too obvious about it.”
“FIFTY VINC and Mr. Goodbarz do a great job of blending the BoomBap roots of Hip-Hop with contemporary vibes to create a track with a solid foundation in the past, but the relevance of today needed to hook new listeners. The bars hit with precision, and that beat brings it all alive. The hook is engaging and the tone just what a track like this needs to catch fire and gain attention with those who might not be as grounded in the history of the genre.”
“Tired of the same half dozen Christmas songs you hear over and over again every year? Yeah me too, especially that ear cancer McCartney song and Mariah’s one month of continued relevance. So I am on a mission to spike the eggnog this year with some fun fresh Christmas tracks.
Joe Nacco delivers with, ‘It’s Christmas Time (Let’s Get Drunk), a fun track with a whole lot of truth for those with volatile families or simply big families that do not always see eye to eye.
Reminded me a bit of the Bloodhound Gang or Presidents of the United States of America in its fun irreverence. So here’s a toast to Joe and to all of you.
Bottoms up this Christmas! ”
“This Christmas track has a retro vibe arrangement wise, but is pure contemporary in the lyrical build.
A fun, easy to sing along track with a do-wap type vibe. There is a hint of humor in Zachary Aldana’s delivery, as well as the lyrical vibe.
’Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You)’ is a holiday breakup song of not letting the past wear your down. ”
“Coming with a hard, in your face beat, $cream-Capone unfurls this sex-charged flow with attitude and verve. The writing is sharp and gets down and dirty completing the sultry edge this one offers. Add this one that to time to get down and nasty playlist. ”
“The Holidays acna be stressing for many reasons, and all those forced social interactions are certainly near the top of the list.
NEAVV is direct and clear in what many of us want in ‘All I Want For Christmas Is Me.’ The track is a tongue-in-cheek ode to being left alone and not having to meet the demands and expectations of others.”
“Flowtone unleashes a slow build on ‘Eats Me Alive,’ a vibe-heavy Indie Rock track.
If Coldplay and the Chili Peppers merged for one night, the result might sound something like this. We all have those things that eat at us from the inside out and this track not only delivers that emotion lyrically, but also in the overall tone.”
“Ever wonder what Jimmy Buffet would sound like as an Australian Pop Folk singer?
Okay, probably not, because that is a bit out there. However, that was my first thought while listening to Bree Rusev’s new track, ‘Summer Memories.’
Rusev is in no way derivative of Buffett, or even similar in style, though both are selling the same laid-back beach vibes and they do so with talent and emotion, the way few can.”
“Nothing is quite as nostalgia provoking as music. Be it the ability to instantly co jure the time and place you first heard the song, or in a more overt way such as ‘We Were Young,’ by WEZ KING. This Indie Rock vibe instantly has that feel but it also has a little twist and surprise to tie in those emotions with how you are feeling in the here and now.”
“Pierce Elliott unfurls this smooth easy groove with talent and precision. The backing is soulful and his flow over the top is just as rhythmic with the exception of a little spoken word interlude in the middle of the track. The intro was a tad long, but did build a vibe for the actual lyrical progression. Old school vibe, though the lyrics still feel right at home in today’s musical landscape.”
“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 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. ”
“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’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.”
“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 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 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.” ”
“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. ”
