Gwyn Love - high in the bathroom [Music Review]

August 04, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Mixtape, Music, Alternative, Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The party scene can get old and is certainly filled with cliched people. This track from Gwyn Love is how many people deal with such environments. ‘high in the bathroom’ is an Alt Pop anthem for those with social anxiety or those simply sick of the same old same old. ”

    lovelytheband - day run out [Music Review]

    August 04, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Indie Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “After making a splash with their hit ‘nice to know you, Alternative-Pop trio lovelytheband is back with a follow up single called ‘day run out.’

    This lead song from their new album due out August 23rd delivers a nice calm sound and build. The smooth groove and vocals are easy to digest and sing along with. ”

      GAUSTAD - My Own Worst Enemy [Music Video Review]

      August 04, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Alternative, Pop

      Rating: 4.5 out of 5

      “GAUSTAD is one of the most emotive young voices I’ve heard. ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ is pretty self-explanatory in terms of subject but the nuance and flair that GAUSTAD infuses into the performance is next level talent. Pop Music has a new rising star. Latch on now and celebrate the rise of the phenom. ”

        Kenny Sharp - Coming Back To You [Music Review]

        August 04, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Adult Contemporary, Americana, blues

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Kenny Sharp’s latest track ‘Coming Back To You’ was recently featured in the latest season of Love Island and I suspect you’ll be hearing the song in a lot of other places as well. Sharp has that vocal sound that is hard to defne to a single genre. A little blues, some roots rock, Americana, Pop. It’s all in there on this track, and the writing has clever word play as well as deeper meaning to ponder on subsequent listens.”

          Paris Pick - Get My Baby Back [Music Video Review]

          August 04, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Soul, Indie Pop

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Paris Pick is the Yukon’s Pop princess and this Retro Soul track will only add to her star power. ‘Get My Baby Back’ is delivered in a sing song vibe that certainly has influence in the doo wop era but the this track, about dealing with the losses life hands out, still manages to feel fresh and contemporary in style. ”

            Lyves - REM [Music Review]

            Rating: 3.5 out of 5

            “This track comes alive thanks to the emotion and passion of the vocal performance. Lyves described the track as personal and cathartic and that comes through in the end result. ‘REM’ is about a one sided relationship and the slow dawning of that realization and the track has a dreamscape vibe that mirrors the way our brains tend to work. ”

              “Ice meez unleashes a track that is personal in nature but also speak to all of us. ‘Tomorrow’ is not promised and it is vital we embrace the present rather than spend all our focus chasing the future. The video for this track is well done and effectively adds to the emotions of the track.”

                Culture Jam - Can't Get Enough [Music Review]

                Rating: 4 out of 5

                “Culture Jam delivers a beat and hook that goes all day long. Vocally the track has verve and confidence to sell the hard lyrical punches. That backing is infectious and stays with you long after the track ends. There are not enough strong female voices in the Rap world right now but this track definitely hits as hard as anything currently out there.”

                    “KTJ & Carly unleash a bit of scorn on those who are all talk and no action relationship wise. ‘Mister Bare Minimum’ is about that person promising and pledging commitment and other things they have no intention of actually carrying through.

                              ’You See Me’ is about realizing that person locked in the so-called friend zone is the one that truly knows who you are and the one you can depend on but of course we all suffer from the grass is greener phenomenon that leads us to go for the wrong yet extic choice before we learn our lesson that different isn’t always better. ”

The San Diego native has a throwback sound that would be right at home in the Pop landscape of the late 80’s. ”

                                  Cxtotheworld - My Story [Music Video review]

                                  “Cxtotheworld isn’t looking for perfection but progression, and that refrain leads the way on his track ‘My Story.’

                                  The lyrical build is full of confidence but in a very real and genuine way. The hook is catchy but the verses is where the power of this lyrical build lays. ”

                                    Isa Y - Lose [Music Review]

                                    “A Jazz influenced Soul track, ‘Lose’ offers a chance to sit back and relax as you contemplate fate and the times in life when no matter what you do things just do not work out how you’d hoped. Isa Y clearly has an old soul and this track has a bit of that old school crooner to go along with the smooth musical groove. ”

                                      “P.U.R.P. joins forces with Rosita and Akeem Ali to give us a heart wrenching tale of a jilted sidepiece. ‘Jody’ turns the trop on its head given this time we are talking side dude rather than side chick. The track has some wry humor and irony as well as genuine grit and emotion lurking there in the irony.”

                                        “Producer BO Infinite unleashes ‘Love and War,’ a gritty new single utilizing the vocal talents of emcees Eddie Kaine, J. Arrr, and Bub Rock.

                                        The track hits with a menacing tone and the three emcees doa great job playing off each other. The backing instrumental, matches the energy of the vocal collaborators. ”
