Super Massive - Caught In A Web [Music Review] November 14, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “Super Massive unleashes a high energy summer time track with their latest single, ‘Caught in A Web.’Wait, what? Summertime? Yep, you read it right. Super Massive is an Aussie based dance/rock band that blends electro, electro-pop, dance-pop, synthpop and EDM and while here in North America we are the cusp of winter they are ready to bask in some summertime fun down in the Southern Hemisphere. Th track is a throwback of synth glory and a fun romp.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Luci - Loner [Music Review] November 05, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass, EDM, Electro Pop, Dance, Pop Rating: 3.0 out of 5 “Luci began her career as a an EDM producer and that influence is clear on this track, though the vocal side certainly has Pop sensibilities. ’Loner’ is an emotive and vulnerable track in its best moments, though for me the harder drops and production that turned toward a Future Bass/EDM style got in the way of the emotions at times. For me this track shined the brightest with Luci’s emotive delivery and less production behind it clouding the song. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
LEWIS FITZGERALD - OH MAMA [Music Review] October 31, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop Rating: 3 out of 5 “Lewis Fitzgerald has the vocal chops to do whatever he wants. Here the South London artist utilizes and Afrobeat to back his performance and while the vocals and music are on point, the lyrical build is sparse and just never quite hit that next level for me. I was intrigued by the talent and sound, but slightly let down by the lack of lyrical substance.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Ananya - Happy [Music Review] October 11, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial, Adult Contemporary Rating: 4 out of 5 “Written with Mental Health Day in mind, Ananya unleashes this Electro pop ode to taking care of yourself and cutting out the things that drag you down. The Zimbabwean pop star delivers the sharp writing with a steady, almost defiant brand of confidence despite the honest vulnerability of the writing and that combination brings this track to life.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Maddie Regent - Sleeptalking [Music Review] August 16, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “Maddie Regent has a sweet undertone to her vocals, but this track definitely deals with some tough emotions and heavy problems. ‘Sleeptalking’ deals with self-sabotaging and doubt. We’ve all experienced time where we should be happy or content but for whatever reason remain unsatisfied and unsettled. And the questions we then have to ask ourselves is why, and are those feelings warranted? ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Chymes - Voodoo Doll [Music Review] August 15, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Electro Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Aussie Alt-Pop stare Chymes is back putting a pin her her vocal prowess with ‘Voodoo Doll.’The track delivers a hint of danger and a whole lot of sultry to the sound. Almost like vintage Britney, Chymes has a siren like effect onlistners as she draws them in ever closer with every line. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger Content Link Block Select a page and create a visual link to it.

Shannon Dooley - Gold [Music Review] August 02, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “Shannon Dooley conveys an easy confidence on this track. ‘Gold’ is a dreamy Pop track that feels a bit surreal in the sultry tones and song song cadence. An easy track to fall in and sing along with this one has a girls night out party vibe that is sure to resonate with many of our readers.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Fiona Grey - Beer Drunk Glory Days [Music Video Review] August 02, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “Fiona Grey was voted LA’s Best Pop Artist by LA Weekly back in 2018 and time has only honed her skill and craft as both a songwriter and a performer. The imagery of this video is as powerful as the writing, and the emotional journey of this track is one that you can feel in every note. Grey is a star, but one that clearly is patient enough to do it her own way.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Don Diablo x R3HAB - Disco Marathon (feat. NEEKA) [Music Review] June 17, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, House Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “Dan Diablo and R3HAB join forces along with NEEKA to create a song that is best described as ABBA meets 2024. The track has both an Electro Pop and House music vibe and the resulting sound is hard not to fall in and sing along with. The beat and production are just as engaging as the vocal performance.A fun track that will put a smile on your face and some sway in those hips. Give ‘Disco Marathon’ a listen and feel the mesh of the 70’s as it blends with the spirit of today.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Fast Money Music - Space Opera [Music Review] June 17, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Electronic, Indie Pop, Electro Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Riding a nostalgic 80s vibe at times, Fast Money Music, launches ‘Space Opera’ into orbit, and the fun offering is one with some true gravitational pull. New Wave synths, horns, an indifferent brand of attitude and defiance permeates the entire thing. Unique in all the best ways this track is simply a vibe start to finish.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Rita Ora - Ask And You Shall Receive [Music Video Review] June 01, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Electro Pop Rating: 3 out of 5 “The video is visually appealing and will have boys and men alike lined up to watch the obvious attempt to district with sexuality. Musically, the track has obvious talent, but isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel.’Ask And You Shall Receive’ is pleasing enough in tone and structure, though the song does not offer enough uniqueness or originality to be more than a flash. Overt eye candy aside, this song simply uses a tried and true Pop formula to carve a temporary mark on the musical headboard.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Lunar June - L-O-V-E [Music Video Review] April 24, 2024 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop Rating: 3 out of 5 “You ever been having a good time and the all of a sudden hear a song that gets you emotional? Lunar June’s l-o-v-e is about the thoughts a song can trigger. The visual is simple but cool at the same time. Despite the length of the song this is a cool track.” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]
That Brunette - birthday boi [Music Review] February 27, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “That Brunette gives us a track of nostalgia and societal defiance. An anthem of sorts against the norms, ‘birthday boi’ is about celebrating with that one friend you can be your true self with and forget the world is out there raging around you while you do. This song lyrically feels like a teen movie from the 80s but the Electro Pop edge is decidedly modern and the combo is a great way to show that some things and emotions never change even if the world around us does. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Beks - Think About It [Music Review] February 19, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “Temptation lurks in the shadows for us all and Australian songstress, Beks takes on temptation with her latest single, ‘Think About It.’For me the track is the antitheses of Miley’s hit ‘Flowers.’ the vibe has the same brand of independence though instead of a using that as a brand of revenge this track is about resistance. The vocal talent and funky groove is pure Pop perfection, and I fully expect to hear this track all over the place in the coming months. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Libby Whitehouse - OMG [Music Review] February 19, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “Libby Whitehouse unleashed this energetic Pop track and it is exactly the kind of song that catches fire and goes viral. ‘OMG’ has a catchy hook that we can all song along to and the infectious beat transports us to a different time and place as we lose the world around us for a few minutes. A fun song to throw your head back and sing along as you move to the beat.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Bibou- I Wanna See You Move [Review] January 18, 2024 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop Rating: 2 out of 5 “This is a dance track that will make you vogue. However, it doesn’t provide much musically for an extended review. If you ever want to be in a fashion show, dance in the mirror or just vibe this is defiantly a song to play.” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]
Rachel Newnham - Jealous [Music Review] November 17, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “Comparing yourself to others, and even worse, the social media persona of people pretending their world is perfect is a dangerous thing. ‘Jealous’ is about those feelings of envy we’ve all had when looking at other peoples looks, relationships, and experiences. But we never know the full story or picture as outsiders, and chances are they are jealous of us in some way as well. Rachel Newnham delivers the track is perfect Pop glory.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Bryn Christopher - High [Review] November 16, 2023 by Kreadiv Kesh in Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 3 out of 5 “This is a song that reminds me of the New York dance parties you would see in the movies.

The track elevates any listener and takes them high, high, higher on happiness.” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]
