The Collection - Love at the End of the World [Music Review] January 28, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Pop Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “The Collection brings a fresh new approach to the world of love songs. ‘Love at the End of the World’ is about finding love in a world that is falling apart and how we all need to keep living as best we can in the face of conflict and turmoil. The emotive vocals hooked me the writing is smart and intelligent while maintaining an emotional relevance.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

A track of uplifting energy and hope despite the end of the relationship. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
The Collection - Won't Stop Yet [Review] February 25, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Pop, Rock Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “So many times we are told to have faith ... things will work out. Truth is that isn’t always the case and yet we keep ;-lugging along through life putting one foot in front of the other. ‘Won’t Stop Yet’ is an anthem of sorts honoring that stubbornness while admitting the effort might not be rewarded the way we want or expect. The vocal tone is folksy while the arrangement is a energetic and uplifting. The track feels like a celebration of this imperfect thing we call life. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
