        Naomi Jane -I Cry [Review]

        January 19, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Indie Pop
        “I Cry” is a raw, emotionally honest record that leans into vulnerability without overproducing the feeling. Naomi Jane’s vocals carry the weight of the song capturing heartbreak, release, and quiet strength all at once. It’s intimate, relatable, and lingers long after the track ends.”

            1blackfrend - Gaslight [Music Review]

            January 09, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Punk, Indie Rock, Alternative, Rock
            “Written about an ex friend, 1blackfriend turned a bad experience into a great song. ‘Gaslight’ is about quietly be controlled.

            ”I knew something was wrong, but stayed numb and compliant. this song is me realizing how easily my life was shaped by someone who never asked permission.”

            The Punk anthem comes in with energy and delivers its lyrical blow the way good righteous Punk should. 1blackfriend is poised for greatness given the strength of this their sophomore release.”

                    “An uplifting and soaring Future Bass track, ‘Paint The Sky’ from yetep and AMIDY is the kind of track that feels like you;ve heard it before.

                      “Slander is joined by William Beck on this track of tender vulnerability. ‘Back To U’ is a song about putting yourself out there even though doing so leaves you susceptible to heartbreak. The track is a reminder than the onlyw ay to truly live is to leave yourself exposed to the potential for pain. The writing is perfect and the performance emotions the vulnerability in a tangible way that makes you feel every note of this one.”

                            BIGBAGMACK -Tork [Review]

                            December 30, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Rap
                            “TORK” by BigBagMack hits with raw energy and confidence, driven by a hard beat that matches his aggressive delivery. The track feels unapologetic and street-rooted, showcasing his ability to talk his talk without overcomplicating the message. Lyrically, it’s more about presence and attitude than storytelling, which works for the vibe he’s setting.

                            Overall, “TORK” is a solid turn-up record that reinforces BigBagMack’s momentum and sound.”

                                  Drew Schueler - I Thought By Now [Music Review]

                                  December 11, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial
                                  “Drew Schueler is an award winning songwriter. ONe of those guys that is often labeled as the next big thing. Despite these accolades and a very promising future the phrase ... I thought by now I’d have more figured out, hit him hard.

                                  A sentiment many of us have had in multiple phases of life, but unliket he average person Schueler was able to take that doubt and resulting emotions and create a beautiful and heartfelt track that speak to the humanity of us all.”

                                    Savanna Leigh - nothing yet [Music Review]

                                    December 11, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Lyric Video
                                    “Fans named this single after Alt Pop songwriter, Savanna Leigh played the song and said its called ... well, nothing yet. The track gained attention from those live shows and fans started referring it it as ‘nothing yet’ and the name stuck.

                                    The track is a heartfelt look at a relationship you know will never work int he end and yet you plunge in anyway to pas time until you do find the right fit.”

                                      December 11, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Trap, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious
                                      “New Orlean Hip-Hop has always been influential on the scene and FARROW joins a group of talented artist to come out of the city. ‘Planting Seeds’ is a track about investing in your future by taking care of yourself and your business. A thinking man’s track the lyrics give you something new each time you listen.”

                                        Bad Flamingo - Shame [Music Video Review]

                                        December 11, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Americana
                                        “The masked seductresses are back. They often tantalize us with their evocative Western tinged Indie Rock, but this mysterious duo embraces the overtly sexy on this track and video. Bad Flamingo is always a vibe and this track only adds to the mystique.

                                        With talent like this, Bad Flamingo definitely does not have any ‘Shame’ going toe-to-toe with any artist out there.”
