      May 30, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM
      “yetep enlists the help of Trella to deliver this Future Bass track and the pairing is perfect as the two side compliment each other perfectly to create a smooth groove.

      ’Hate It When It’s You’ is a track that you can hold tight to your partner and move as one to, or that you can sit alone and reflect about life and love. Either way you will feel this one as much as hear it. ”

        May 30, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop, Folk
        “Unrequited love is an emotional roller coaster and Eva James unleashes a torrent of emotion about that very thing on her latest single, ‘The One You Lose.’ The tender and vulnerable delivery is paired with a tempo and beat that feels like the hammering of your heart as you feel it ache.”

          May 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap, Trap
          “Earl Hondo might sound like a spaghetti western villain, but give this track a listen and you’ll discover he’s a killer alright ... A lady killer offering up a groove you can get down to between the sheets, or cruising up the boulevard.

          Saddle up and ride the vibe!”

            April Jai - WHY CHOOSE

            May 29, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Dance, Pop
            “April Jai described this track as her coming out musically as ‘WHY CHOOSE’ is the first of her music to mention her bi-sexuality. The sultry sensuous track is well-timed for Pride month, but good music hits any time of the year and this track comes with an undeniable vibe. ”

              Ava Valianti - Distant [Music Review]

              May 23, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Alternative, Pop, Folk
              “Ava Valianti is one of those rare talents that seem to defy age. Both in her performance and writing she comes across as more savvy and wise than any fifteen year old ought to be. ‘Distant’ is a track about losing that tight bond you have with friends as you grow older. Sometimes the shift is about growing different directions and sometimes its about logistics but either way it can be tough and bewildering to let go of what once was so magical and important. Valianti captures the spirit and emotions well n this tender heartfelt song.”

                The Stupid Reasons - Hot Springs [Music Review]

                May 21, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Americana
                “The Stupid Reasons utilizes a bit of campy theatrics to deliver their track, ‘Hot Springs.’ By their own admission the song owes a tip fo the hat to David Lee Roth’s ‘Just a Gigolo,’ and it certainly delivers that same brand of tongue-in-cheek fun neatly packaged into an Indie Rock track. ”

                  May 21, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul
                  “Blurring genre lines, Harry Gray delivers a soulful groove to this Rap flow. Harry pays no mind to mainstream sounds and instead stays true to making music that evokes a spiritual response from himself and his listeners.

                  ”Passport Baby’ is a vibe that carries the listener along like a plane bound for an exotic vacation. Grab a cold drink and kick back, relaxing times are in your future when you settle into this smooth track.”

                    May 21, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop
                    “The search for love tends to leave us all jaded and fed up at some point. Many of us become reluctant to love or trust but then that right person comes along and blows away those brick walls. That’s what Miya Zawa’s single, ‘likedamn (whoa)’ expresses. The energy and talent sell the emotion well and carry the listener along for the joyride.”

                      RJ Pasin - XO (with Sophie Powers) [Music Video Review]

                      May 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop, Alternative
                      “Plenty of music claims to be a fusion but in the case of RJ Pasin and Sophia Powers new track, ‘XO,’ the term is one-hundred percent accurate. Metal Core Pop? Electro Pop Punk?

                      It doesn’t really matter how you label this in your face ode to cutting through the noise of societal pressures and delivery your truth, because you will feel it deep in your soul.”

                        “I’m a sucker for the timeless sound of a good Rock song and LA area band, NIght Talks know how to deliver exactly that.

                        ’Gasoline’ is Indie Rock gold about the dangers of comparing yourself to others. The lyrics are a good reminder that we are all happiest when we are simply the person we are meant to be. ”

                          Savanna Leigh - cut to the chase [Music Video Review]

                          May 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop
                          “Real true connections are tought o find so many of us have found ourselves in the dismal situation of a forced relationship. You know things could and should be better but its hard to walk away when things are also not that bad. This track is about the growing awareness that the time to escape has arrived, as well as the freedom that final decision can instill within us.

                          Savanna Leigh sell the lyrics well and you can feel the layers of emotion both before and after in her performance. The video and musical arrangement adds some whimsy lightness to what is a big decision. ”

                            May 16, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Pop, Folk, Rock
                            “Chicago singer/songwriter Sean Skyler has been carving a place in the musical landscape while honing his craft. His latest track, ‘Follow’ You’ is a an upbeat and energetic ode to love and reckless abandon that only love can bring. A perfect feel-good summer track to put some bounce in your step and a whistle in your lips.

                            Or hey ... it could be a jaunty song about a stalker. Only sort of kidding but the track made me smile so I hope it does the same for you.”

                                  Neena Rose - I Love You Mama (Even More) [Music Review]

                                  May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop
                                  “In case you need one, this is your reminder that Sunday May 11th is Mother’s Day.

                                  Neena Rose clearly needed no such reminder as she penned this tender loving ode to mother’s and planned the release to coincide with the holiday.

                                  The track is artfully written and performed and you’d no doubt warm your own mother’s heart by sharing this track with her.”

                                    Chloe Star - TNT [Music Video Review]

                                    May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Music Videos, Electro Pop, Alternative, Pop
                                    “Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.

                                    ’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”

                                      Andy Tongren - So Good [Music Video Review]

                                      May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop
                                      “Listening to ‘So Good’ from Andy Tongren conjured the same feeling as sitting fdowna nd having a cold beer with a good friend on a warm weekend afternoon. In other words it feels .. so good.

                                      The song is light and airy in a folks Indie Pop kind of way. This is the kind of song that will make a good mood feel even better, and transform you from a bad mood into a happy one as you listen.”

                                        The Gaffes - Passerby [Music Review]

                                        May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock, Indie Rock
                                        “The Gaffes are an Alt Rock band from Chicago and they deliver the exact kind of classic Indie Rock sound that is timeless on their single, ‘Passerby.’

                                        The best music often feels like you’ve heard it all your life from the very first listen and that is exactly how I felt hearing this track. I’ll be adding this one to several of my playlists and I suggest you do the same.”
