Kelsey Olivia - Quit [Music Review]

April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial, Pop
“Kelsey Olivia utilizes an interesting staccato cadence to delivery this Electro Pop track about a relationship that just won’t quite end. Love is hard and letting go can be difficult even when both parties know doing so would be for the best. The unique structure helps us to feel the chaos of such a relationship.”

    Band of Revelations - All the Way Home [Music Review]

    April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Americana
    “Band of Revelations hails from the UK though this track has a definite Americana vibe. ‘All The Way Home’ is a song about grief but rather than focusing on things as an ending the track offers some hope to go with the sadness and the band called it a song of new beginnings. Lyrically the track could be taken several different way and that is often the case with any well rendered art.”

      Lø Spirit - See Me Now [Music Video Review]

      April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Rock, Pop
      “Rising alt-rock artist Lø Spirit has something to say to any and all haters and doubters out there. ‘See Me Now’ is dedicated to those who battle chronic illnesses to still chase their dreams. THe video matches the dark gritty determination of the track itself and you can feel the talent and passion in every single element. A song perfect for that motivational playlist.”

        Jordan Anthony - Wrong Impression [Music Review]

        April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial
        “Breakups songs are plentiful in the musical landscape which makes it hard to stand out with sucha song. But some artists simply have a different level of emotive chops and rising Aussie Pop Star, Jordan Anthony is one such artist. ‘Wrong Impression’ is a powerful track of heartache and emotional pain but in it we can feel what it feels like to be human and part of that is to know what it means to experience love and loss.”

          Noon - Love Takes It All [Music Review]

          April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative, Indie Pop
          “Noon unfurls a nostalgic Rock track that is at home in today’s mystical landscape but could have easily landed in 1983. The classic Rock vocals cut in this tale of a toxic relationship you can’t quite walk away from.”

            April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Punk
            “There was a time when moments meant more and not everything was instantaneous. ‘Polaroids’ is about that time. Delivered with Pop Punk energy, Kerosene Cocktail taps into the nostalgia while evoking a call to slow downa nd enjoy the little moments that truly give life meaning.”

              LOSTNOTE - Fumes [Music Review]

              April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Indie Pop
              “LOSTNOTE captures some nostalgic magic and meshes it with contemporary sensibilities. This Indie/Alt Pop track is lyrically sound and sonically pleasing. The track offers up nuance and depth that unveils itself with eacha nd every listen. This is a track that means more with each subsequent listen so add it to you playlists and enjoy the ride because there is plenty in the tank despite the track being called, ‘Fumes.’ ”

                “Green Acres pours up a nice pint of warm nostalgia with ‘Cotton Candy.’ The Indie Rock track is about a campus brewery they frequented during college and the need/desire to recapture those carefree moments again.”

                  Codefendants - The Fix [Music Review]

                  April 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Punk, Alternative, Rock
                  “Teh story of the Codefendents is a good one ...

                  Get Dead vocalist Sam King’s graffiti crew were giving tattoos and making flash art to raise money to help rapper Ceschi Ramos when he was in prison. Months later they met at the Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, California. They bonded, talking about their love of hip-hop and punk rock, over a bottle of Jameson. They didn’t know it yet, but they had just started Codefendants. Impossible to define by traditional standards, Codefendants were forged out of a desire to make an album that sounded like nothing else, so they enlisted Fat Mike of NOFX and Baz the Frenchman to make a completely genre-fluid album; a cross between hip hop, new-wave, flamenco, and the Beatles. They call the sound ‘Crime Wave.’

                  The new single ‘The Fix’ is an 80s inspired fusion of old school Pop modern Punk and musical trailblazing.”

                    April 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Dance
                    “Originally from Cyprus but now based in LA, Blackbird fuses her Mediterranean background into a mix of exptic sounds and styles. Pro MAde This layers in Electro Dance production values to give this track an added energy that breathes further life into the track. ‘Burn It Down’ is a simmering exotic build that will scorch your soul with heat and talent.”

                      Scott Quinn - Overdrawn [Music Review]

                      April 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop
                      “British singer/songwriter and performer, Scott Quinn offers a tieless sound with ‘Overdrawn.’ Emotive vocals over a classic musical sound tell the story of a relationship ending that perhaps never should have gotten started in the first place. Sometimes love simply isn’t enough to sustain two people no matter how much we want to romanticize that idea.”

                        “The world is perhaps more chaotic and tumultuous than ever before and Conor Miley is urging us to ‘Raise Your Red Flag.’

                        The Irish rocker takes on political polarization and the emergence of extremist, conspiratorial voices within the mainstream. This is an Indie Rock plea for more empathy and common sense amid rigid political affiliation.”

                          “Chloe Star is pissed off and fed up on her latest track ‘Emergency Contact.’ The Alt Pop track is about one-sides love and coming to the realization you are carrying all the weight in a relationship. It is about drawing a line in the sand and saying enough is enough. But doing so with intent and purpose middle finger high in the air!”

                            ’Hometown’ is an ode to her past but the magic is others will find it relatable because we’ve all travelled the road of life and experienced many of the same emotions in doing so.”

                              Weaving together French, English, and Spanish, she taps into the emotions of having real feelings that have as yet not been acted upon by either person.”

                                  Elle Baez- Different Kind of Love [Review]

                                  March 24, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh
                                  “Elle Baez makes a confident first impression with her debut single “Different Kind of Love”, offering a sound that feels both intimate and self-assured. The track leans into smooth, contemporary R&B textures while allowing her vocals to carry emotional weight without overproduction. Lyrically, it explores a more intentional, mature perspective on love—less about fantasy and more about alignment and peace. There’s a quiet strength in how she delivers each line, making the song feel personal yet relatable. ”

                                    Roots of Creation x Eric Swanson x SOJA x Jacob Hemphill - Oblivious (Please Don't Go) [Music Review]

                                    March 22, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae
                                    “Before I chime in, a word from the creators of this track .... We’re so excited to share this new song with the world. The writing process with Jacob Hemphill (SOJA) and Brett Wilson (Roots Of Creation) has been a lot of fun. So many great artists came together in spirit to work on this track. Bits of this song were recorded across the globe, and that’s expressed beautifully by Hellman Escorcia’s horn arrangement throughout the song. Love and loss affect us all, and this song is a testament to the power of that notion. The “Oblivious” concept was inspired by the saying “until you learn to say no, yes means nothing”. We hope you find your voice and your power! ~ Eric Swanson

                                    ’Oblivious’ is a straight out vibe! The Reggae groove and emotive vocals lodge in your soul.”

                                      WITH U x Joshua Baraka - Girl In Ibiza [Music Video Review]

                                      March 22, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Deep House, Dance, Pop, Afro Beats
                                      “No one deny Tik Tok’s influence on the music industry and this is a track that first found life on the social media app but is now poised to be a breakout Summer hit. The Deep Huse/ Afro Beat song, ‘Girl In Ibiza’ is a track that’s hard not to move to.

                                      WITH U and Joshua Barakea brings continents together in this collaboration spanning from Germany to Kenya.”

                                        Bahar - I Always Knew That No One Would Love Me [Music Review]

                                        March 22, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Alternative, Pop
                                        “Born in Istanbul but now living in the UK, Bahar is an accomplished INdie Singer/Songwriter ready to explode onto the Pop scene. ‘I Always Knew That No One Would Love Me’ starts with a soft, theatrical flair that builds into an emotionally explosive vulnerability that borders on anger and those are feelings we’ve all experienced while feeling insecure or jilted.”
