Mallow Hill - Smoke [Music Review] August 02, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul Rating: 4 out of 5 “Mallow Smoke delivers a smooth sultry groove on their latest track, ‘Smoke.’ Singer Mikayla Joseph did remind me some of Amy Winehouse and like her most famous hit this track also deal with addiction. ’Writing it was my way of expressing what it’s like to deal with someone you love struggle with addiction and substance abuse and how it presents itself in relationships,” Joseph explained. “ It healed my heart just a little bit. Fighting the demons that push you into a place where you become dependent on drugs and alcohol is hard enough by itself, trying to do it alone is even harder. And loving an addict is heartbreaking.’” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Mallow Hill - Thinkin' Bout My Baby [Music Review June 17, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, blues, Soul, Americana Rating: 4 out of 5 “This track introduces the world to Mallow Hill as it is the band’s debut single. ‘Thinkin’ Bout My Baby’ drips with sultry Blues and the vocal tone has a bit of Winehouse over the top of a Gary Clark Jr. musical vibe.’Thinkin’ Bout My Baby’ is about the personal growth and realization of habits formed from toxic relationships and how we all tend to slip on a pair of familiar shoes even though the damn things tend to hurt our feet. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
