    TENDER - Heavy [Music Review]

    February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Alternative
    “UK indie duo TENDER have released ‘Heavy’ the lead single from their fourth studio album, “Where The Waves Break,” set for release June 4th, 2026.

    ’Heavy’ comes in with a grooved intro that has you leaning in even before the almost sinister vocal style comes in. TENDER said, “It sets the tone for a record that explores the push and pull of opposing emotional forces, from certainty and contentment to doubt and restlessness.”

    The track itself is about having a crisis of identity even though life is seemingly going well.”

      Frida and The Mann - Monsters [Music Review]

      February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Rock
      “Frida and The Mann unleash a haunting and brooding track that grips the soul and makes you think about those close to you. No betrayal hurts like those closest to you and sometimes those are the ‘Monsters’ we never quite escape. This masterful song is an exquisitely delivered vibe about that very thing.”

        Jasmine Power - LEAP [Music Video Review]

        February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, Pop
        “Welsh singer, Jasmine Power is ready to take a huge ‘LEAP,’ to stardom with this uplifting track. The song has some 90s Pop sensibilities but does not feel dated and the song certainly fits nicely in today’s musical landscape. The vocals soar when appropriate and feel more vulnerable and tender when the emotions dictate. A finely written and performed track that will stand the test of time as only true great songs can.”

              “The “XO to the Grave” music video by Lø Spirit delivers a visually engaging blend of alternative rock energy and heartfelt personal moments.

                                ’Griever’ from Avery Cochrane is an Alt Pop track about this very thing, about facing down those who did you wrong and triumphantly having your say.”

                                    Errol Eats Everything - Round N Round ft. Rome Streetz (Statik Selektah RMX) [Music Video Review]

                                    January 20, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop
                                    “Errol Eats Everything is turning back the back and taking Hip Hop back to it roots with ‘Round N Round.’ The track features Rome Streetz and delivers lyrical punches that land with far more than a catchy beat and hook. That is not to say the track isn’t fire that hooks, just that there is emotional depth and meaning behind this flow with old school sensibilities.”

                                      Dumomi -The Jig Butterfly [Review]

                                      January 20, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Afro Beats
                                      “Butterfly” is a feel-good Afrobeat record that blends smooth melodies with vibrant, rhythmic production. Dumomi The Jig floats effortlessly over the beat, delivering a sound that’s both uplifting and infectious.”

                                        Lazy Sunsets- LA Life [Review]

                                        January 20, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial
                                        “LA Life” captures a dreamy, laid-back vibe that mirrors the glow and contradictions of city living. Lazy Sunsets blends smooth production with an easy, melodic flow, creating a track that feels reflective yet relaxed. It’s the kind of song that plays well during late drives, sunsets, and moments of quiet escape.”
