“An alternative Pop track that leans intot he Pop Punk vibe, ‘Girl who HATES me,’ is MIA CEFALO’s latest single. The track comes with an energetic build and tone and at times the added harder edge of the melody adds tot he intensity. A fun lyrical ride that will pump you up. ”
“An Alternative Rock ode to bad timing and missed opportunities, ‘A Day Late,’ is about that friend zone crush you can’t quite stop thinking about the what-ifs.
Anberlin delivers a sound that would have been right at home in the 90s, but still feels relevant and Contemporary today because that is what timeless talent will do for a band. ”
“RYN SCOTT drops this self-aware flow that should resonate with the masses given we are all ... ‘Just Human.’
The track takes on a subject and view often ignored in the blustery, cocksure world of Hip-Hop and that alone is refreshing. The genuine honesty, and vulnerability give the song grit in a surprising fashion and the spot on timing and impassioned flow sell it all in a way that makes this an easy track to fell as much as you hear.”
“This track is an anthem that builds and rises and is perfect for cranking the volume and belting out loud. ‘Forget July’ from the band Out In Front is about breaking free after being mired in something that once upon a time meant everything to you. But no longer feels like a piece you need. ”
“LA is a long way from Iluka’s home of Sydney Australia but this talented artist has found her place here in California. Sadly her neighborhood in Altadena was recently decimated by the spate of fires. This track diving into themes of resistance, strength, and solidarity while she navigates the current state of the world. Her vocals are razor sharp and cut your emotionally with skilled precision in this Alt Pop track.”
“STK unleashes ‘Be The One’ an upbeat and energetic ode to romantic possibilities. This EDm track has a good energy making it perfectly danceable but also a track to get your blood pumping sp ad dit to your workout list or send it to the one you love and see what happens. Maybe you’ll work up a sweat together.”
“Luciana Lariccia is a German songstress quickly headed for Pop stardom. ‘Masterpiece’ is a track about love and infatuation told in a glorious Pop crescendo that hooks the listener from the beginning. The vocal performance carries the heavy work thought he writing is sharp and spot on as well.”
“It can be easy to give too much of yourself and lose part of your identity in loving another. ‘Used To Breath’ from LA artist, Sophia Kaloustian is a Indie Pop track about reinventing or at least reinvigorating yourself on the other side of such a relationship.”
“Mark your calendars now to catch Johnny Manchild and the poor Bastards at the Roxy on March 27th. The sunset Strip will be alive for this Oklahoma City band to perform ‘Already Over’ as well as a catalogue of other great tracks.
The band is genre defying as they blend Rock and Jazz in to an Emo brand of Alternative Rock.”
“Walter The Producer has a unique vocal tone that quickly goes from surprising to engaging in its honest earnest delivery. ‘Tell Me again’ is a track with an undeniable energy and provocation that keeps you leaning in and listening for what comes next. The Indie Rock vibe delivers a timeless kind of sound that simply feels like a good honest music.”
“No one likes to be overlooked and underestimated especially when chasing their dreams. ASHY (pronounced ‘Ahh-She’) is an effervescent pop artist & songwriter hailing from Aotearoa, New Zealand and here on this track, she faces down her doubters with sultry confidence.”
“When submitting this song for consideration, Slow Joy wrote ... “When I was 14 I was an emo kid, Now I’m emotional man.”
This sums up the track ‘Gruesome’ quite well. Emo Rock had a moment in the 90s and a song like this could very well usher in a new era for the genre.”
“Amanzi delivers smooth Retro Soul grooves on her latest single, ‘In The Dark.’
The UK artist, with South African roots, brings both power and emotive finesse to this track which feels like a sultry summer night next to the one you love.”
“Canadian, Elijah Woods has released a new Pop track, ‘Could You Love Me?’
Anytime a Pop star emerges from Canada there will be comparison to Bieber but Woods has a more traditional vocal talent and is less bubblegum and kitschy making him an artist that should appeal to a broader base of music fans. This track has some retro 80s vibes but has the lyrical depth and emotion to be a contemporary hit. ”
“Meridia hails from the UK and draws inspiration from bands such as King Gizard & the Lizard Wizard and Alice in Chains.
’A New Man’ is a track about not getting in your own way and letting your emotions derail you. The track is pore Rock and in some ways comes with a style and sound that harkens back to the 90s. That said the band has a Contemporary or rather timeless edge that simply works. ”
“Kylie Rothfield has the rare gift to draw listeners in emotional with one or two words. ‘Temporary’ is a track about the fleeting nature of love and wella ctualy most things in this world. Rothfield delivers the performance with ease though that only happens when an artists has that extra emotive ability to convey their thoughts with a precise earnestness. ”
“Red Lotus stands and delivers on his new track, ‘The Game.’ There is a Kendrick level intricacy to the message and intent and it gives the song a power that is rare these days, but for this one I;m going to let the artists tell you more.
From Red Lotus ... “This song was inspired by a powerful lesson my father used to share with me before he was tragically murdered: ‘The game ain’t free. Nothing in life is free; even when we gain, we must lose something.’ It’s a lyrical rap track with cypher-like elements, rooted in storytelling—a craft I believe is becoming a lost art in hip-hop. The message emphasizes the sacrifices that come with life’s pursuits, delivered with raw emotion and thought-provoking lyrics. This track is for anyone who values meaningful narratives and the authenticity of classic hip-hop.”
A song to dive in and digest over multiple listens. ”
“Money, money, money is sung about nearly as much as love. ‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’ by Joveth is a new track taking on the subject of wealth and fame.
The staccato delivery and Pop sensibilities give the song an easy energy, but the message remains one we all need to be reminded of from time to time.”
“What would it sound like if Busta Rhymes took on performing some Eminem?
Drop Dead Lane gives us an idea on ‘Live Your Life.’ At least early on the growl and gravel and rapid hard hitting flow had that feel. The track did have a few different vibes and sounds so it stands on its own but that was my initial reaction before the lyrical intensity took over and had me solely focused on this build.”
“Bad things happen in life and how we handle them really is what defines us. The same can be said of a relationship as we all need that person by our side that will ride out the storm with us. ‘Damage is Done’ by Vacation Manor is an ode to such a partnership and love.
The soft delivery is calming just as a partner needs to be in tumultuous times. The emotions ring true and this song provides a nice comfort for a crazy world we all live in.”
