“Drew Schueler “Hurtable” is a song that balances the complexity of human emotions—capturing both the pain and the process of healing. The steady, chilled tempo seems to reflect a sense of calm and clarity amid the turmoil”
“The visual aesthetics of this track are definitely a standout, giving off strong homebody vibes that are quite appealing. However, the music itself falls short. The track suffers from off-key deliveries and poor placement of verses, which detract from the overall experience. Despite the strong visuals, the music lacks the polish needed to fully resonate.”
“Lujza has a lot of emotional depth but perhaps doesn’t quite deliver the climax or resolution you were hoping for. The heavy emotions and dramatic tone are clear, but the overall impact might fall short, leaving you with a sense of unfulfilled potential. A rating of 2 out of 5 reflects this mix of strong emotional expression and unmet expectations.”
“The song will give any listener a retro feel. This is not jus a celebration of soul music but a celebration of the soul of music. You can feel the energy as it makes you want to hit the dance floor.TJ Wilkins and the chorus have a blended delivery with each note, I am excited to see the video because I visualized it in my head. ”
“Hanna Andréa takes a moment to express herself through song. She makes the song related to anyone who is overwhelmed by life’s demands and struggling to stay afloat. The song is a nice chilled ballad with a little frustration in the lyrics. It is about sinking or swimming when life is stressing you out. Just when you think the song is a little depressing it gives a small amount of motivation around the 2:40 mark.”
“This song is truly about the essence of sound as rising South London artist Lewis Fitzgerald steps in the booth with global Afro-R&B sensation and BRIT Award nominees Libianca. Darling is a Neo-soul track that pulls you in early in. It is filled with energy and soulful sound that will make you smile. The artist’s musical chemistry is amazing as well. ”
“The comparison was Kendrick and J. Cole. However, I think the artist sounds like a chilled Vince Staples. My world taps into a different Hip-Hop conscious instrumental sounds that gives you a little Jazz. Will Tha King is a poetic artist that knows how to arrange words and create chilled vibes.”
“The song has a randomly rocky start. It sounds like the guitar is off key in the intro but leads into the artists. Around the 40 sec mark there is a shift in the artist’s tone which makes the song more engaging. I must agree the chorus hits hard and the artist’s vocal tone as well. These two things is what saves the song”
“This has a classic west coast beat to it. It reminds me of Too $hort but also has its on identity. Despite the cursing in every verse especially the hook the song makes you want to break down and dance. It does have a little kick back when the beat drops. The sound makes it seem like there is static or a speaker is broke.”
“People have problems but they choose to keep dealing with those problems through a bottle. They get wasted for an hour just for their problems to still be there. That 30 mins - hour escape helps them but hurts their love ones. Dax and friends touch each point of view, excuse, and battle with this track. The fact that this is a 10 min song shows the power alcohol has in people lives.”
“People sample all the time but the sample usually still sounds like the original. However, Zach Witness puts a good twist on the “Can’t Get It Outta My Head” sample. It is fast yet nostalgic with a dance like vibe. You will find yourself with a burst of energy every time the beat hits.”
“I like how the song creates different vibes with a combination of instrument. The song is contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul, with a little exotic sound to it. Iconic Bastardz knows exactly how to mix and master a track to engage a listener. This was an audio only submission but it leaves you to imagine your own visuals.”
“The song is decent. It makes you want to go out and have a good time. The only take a way I had was in the end when the artist was talking without much context. I can still see this track being played a few times.”
“Joe McGowan’s song is a mixture of emotions. The song is sad, romantic, and a little dark. The visual aesthetics tells the love story but it also highlights the heartbreak. This song will keep you engage and wanting to know how the story ends.”
“Estelle Dawn is very descriptive in her songwriting. The guitar strings build you up and the tempo gradually changes. The Indie Pop song has a dark delivery as Estella points out what makes a person crappy. The song is cute, dark, and direct.”
“Third Time’s a Charm (Tom) reminds me of retro 80s and 90s love. Deegie sings about college love which most people usually only focus on high school romance. The song is Pop with a guitar sounds that gives it the Rock feel. I would compare this to the old Taylor Swift but aggressive. Its about taking charge of your heart and never looking back.”
“Lauren Minear takes us on a journey of discovery. She visually shows us how she wears multiple hats in this heartfelt track. Instead of being in a dark setting she chases daylight. This symbolically tells us she no longer wants to live her life in darkness.”
“This song is moody but deep. It starts off with a country guitar string to it then it goes into classic rock. Sharna Pax descriptive delivery will empower any listener with a bust of energy. Around the 2:20 mark she takes a sudden shift in delivery just to bring us back in.”
“The song sounds like a folklore but it doesn’t truly tell a story despite the descriptions given. The only thing that spoke to me was the strength of the instruments and their solo.”
“Pathetic gives us a snippet of the band before the artist comes in. The song starts off soft but as the strings of the guitar gets strong the Pop Rock song takes off. It can be taken as an embedded love song but despite the lyrics you will rock with it from the overall production. ”
