Joveth - Say My Name [Music Review]

August 23, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, EP, Pop, Dance

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“The talent and emotion carry this Alt Pop track. Joveth emotes the pian and loneliness on ‘Say My Name,’ and while the repetition of the chorus did carry on a beat longer than I wanted the overall track drips with feeling and passion.

Joveth is just beginning his musical journey and I look forward to seeing how high this talented artist can soar. ”

    sixten - Atlantic [Music Review]

    August 23, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Unresolved emotions and unrequited love are the earmarks of sixten’s latest release, ‘Atlantic.’ There is a touch of Stevie nicks in the vocal emotion thought he tone has more of a Miley vibe for me but really the sound the unique and stands on its own so comparison are not as apt in this case.

    The lyrics convey the emotional distance and longing and the performance brings all of that home in a very digestible way making this an easy track to feel and experience. ”

      Playlunch - Station Rat [Music Review]

      August 23, 2024 by Travis Erwin

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Based solely on this track, Playlunch is best described as an Australian Red Hot Chili Peppers. The sound and cadence is very familiar with some of the RHCP’s biggest hits and while that does give instant recognizable, it also feels a bit derivative.

      That said, every band has their influences and the energy and talent here do shine and lyrically this one stands on its own.

      My favorite section came later when the track delved into more of a funk vibe and I am eager to hear where the band goes next.”

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “I have shared a nu7mber of tracks fromt he talented Bad Flamingo duo and they always bring that spaghetti western air of mystery to their tracks. This one starts out slow with a deep gravel and slowly grows into more of a simmering bit of attitude that grabs the listener by the throat.”

          John Calvin - Saint Innocent [Music Review]

          August 23, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Americana, Singer/Songwriter

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “John Calvin has just enough gravel and grit in his vocals to keep things interesting without that being all you can hear. ‘Saint Innocent’ is a heartfelt and well-written Americana track and the emotions are tangible in a way few songs manage to pull off.

          This is a song to feel as much as hear and I am eager to experience more offerings from this talented artist. ”

            “The song will give any listener a retro feel. This is not jus a celebration of soul music but a celebration of the soul of music.

              Hanna Andréa- If I Were to Drown [Review]

              August 20, 2024 by Kreadiv Kesh in Alternative, Indie Pop

              Rating: 3 out of 5

              “Hanna Andréa takes a moment to express herself through song. She makes the song related to anyone who is overwhelmed by life’s demands and struggling to stay afloat. The song is a nice chilled ballad with a little frustration in the lyrics. It is about sinking or swimming when life is stressing you out. Just when you think the song is a little depressing it gives a small amount of motivation around the 2:40 mark.”

                Rating: 2.5 out of 5

                “The vocal delivery is so soft spoken I struggled to hear, I found myself turning the volume up louder to form a connection. However, I couldn’t grasp the songwriting aspect. The features do sound good together and very well blended. I couldn’t tell who was who. My recommendation would be to adjust the vocal level so a listener can embrace the song.”

                  “A hard charging Alt Pop track with energy and verve. Int he most glorious of fashions, Honey Ironic delivers pure Rock and Roll angst in ‘Bite My Nails.’

                  The track offers a timeless sound that could with ease fit within the musical landscape any of the last three decades. Her talent sells the emotions, and the production shines in bringing the musical energy out to compliment Honey Ironic’s stellar performance.”

                    “C’est La Vie has a very peaceful sound to it. It takes you on a journey full of dreams and lover. The energetic pop song has the potential to be placed in movies that often tell love stories. I like the EDM mix around the 1 mark and as the song continues with its cuteness it gives the listener a little excited shift. ”

                      Delivered in a Dreamy Folk Pop sort of vibe, Holler highlights all the little things that reinforce the love she feels. The moments that define a relationship far more than the grand gestures and purposeful actions. Simply a sweet track, dripping with sentiment and emotion. ”

                          “Liv Miralidi now calls LA home, but hails from Ohio originally. ‘Unfinished Business’ is a personal song for her.

                          Inspired by the death of music business powerhouse busbee, the track details the emotions of having a mission interrupted by a sudden death and how hard it can be to carry on alone. The song touches on grief and the fact the real world is not a movie where everything comes with a nice tidy ending.”

                              “Repping the Bahamas, Sleepy Lexx delivers ‘Going Fast’ with a raspy flow that hits and meshes well with the beat behind it. Lexx’s flow is confidant and precise and the lyrical play holds the build together keeping the listener leaning in for the next line.

                              I was left wanting more which is both bad and good but at only two minutes the track could have used another verse to keep the punches landing.”

                                “This was be a good track without the layered mix in the beginning. That makes the song come off as being all of over the place. The first few seconds sound like you are turning the channels on the radio and finally find a song that sounds good but struggle to get a strong signal. Don’t get me wrong Jan3t perfectly mixes electronic and acoustic which will engage listeners once they get pass the first few seconds.”

                                  “This song is truly about the essence of sound as rising South London artist Lewis Fitzgerald steps in the booth with global Afro-R&B sensation and BRIT Award nominees Libianca. Darling is a Neo-soul track that pulls you in early in. It is filled with energy and soulful sound that will make you smile. The artist’s musical chemistry is amazing as well. ”

                                    “The song had a rough start. It sounded off key but slowly started to sound better. The guitar sound is there which makes it interesting. However, the pause and switch in tempo didn’t really help. Overall the vocal delivery and the length of the song could be what is messing with the overall cadence of the song. I would try to stay more consistent with the vocal delivery and not hit certain notes as hard.”

                                      Julia Raye - Give You Up [Music Review]

                                      “Julia Raye does a good job of straddling he genre line with her latest release, ‘Give You Up.’ There is certainly a Contemporary R&B vibe though this track also has a more Commercial Dance Pop sound.

                                      The track is about nothing someone isn’t good for you but being unable to deny your feelings despite that fact. ”

                                        “ARIA is energetic and upbeat on the track ‘Obsessed.’ The beat and melody carryt he day here though the vocals certainly have talent and an engaging sprit to keep the listener entangled in all phases of the track. The hook isn’t quite as punchy as similar tracks often are but the sound is vibrant and the end result fun.”
