Holly Wild - Hard To Love [Music Review] July 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Delivered in a classic Indie Pop sound, Holly Wild unleashes ‘Hard To Love,’ a track about struggling to love someone that isn’t as easy to be in a relationship with as perhaps they appear from the outside. The track is a lesson to us all, as we sometimes take things for granted or hold back from the ones who love us the most. Then again sometimes we just have to go with the clues others present and realize they are takers who are never going to give what we need. This is a track that can be seen both ways and each listen offers something new. A definite add to several of my Spotify playlists. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Hanne Mjøen - Hard To Love (ft. Ryland James) [Music Video Review] March 15, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Electronic Rating: 4 out of 5 “All too often duets feel a bit forced, but here Hanne Mjøen teams with Ryland James to give us an emotionally vulnerable track where both sets of vocals play perfectly off of each other. The track is romantic yet real and genuine which is never an easy feat to achieve. The authenticity is rooted in an emotional honesty and a willingness to stand in the spotlight of our faults while opening up. The good, the bad, and the ugly, because any lasting relationship will see a bit of it all. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
