“The imagery of the video and the lyrics of this song combine to perfectly instill the emotion of this single. Theatrical and beautiful, the vocals are ideal for this type of song which feels could be the soundtrack for a crumbling love, or a divide in any type of relationship. Be it one between people, or nations. ”
“Lindsey Stirling is a star.
’The Upside’ is electric in every facet of the word and the power of the melody lifts me up with each and every listen.”
“‘Room For You’ is a tough single to categorize. The vocals are fun and light and work their way into your ears and down into your brain making you want to move along. The melody varies and carries a hint of an Irish jig at times.
Overall, this is a song that gets you moving with a perfect performance and a well-written set of lyrics.”
“This is the soundtrack to anyone that has ever had their very own Stage 5 Clinger.
Commercial pop vibes drip from this well-written song about what happens when affection is completely one-sided. ”
“A track that sadly relates for many, but the fact is, people suck sometimes. This track calls them out with a fun, pop romp that doesn’t hold back.”

’Angry Too’ is the fighting spirit of the #MeToo movement.”
“I hear many musical influences here, Elle King, Amy Winehouse, Adele ... but TAELA stands out as a talent no matter which influence seeps in at the the moment.
’Bang’ has that commercial sound that often finds audiences across multi genres and demographics. I can see this one becoming a track played loud and proud in many, many places this summer.”
“Smooth vocals and a fun, island-esque melody kept me listening to this one. Lyrically the track made me smile and groove along. A good one to just let loose with for some summer fun.”
“The terms new and retro do not logically belong together, and yet at times that duo forms the perfect description. As is the case with Fox Wilde’s ‘Strangers On The Run.’
Conjuring thoughts of Elton John and Billy Joel, this retro sound drops a new single that speaks to a new generation through fresh lyrical content.”
“The vocal tone here is engaging right from the start and the emotion is palpable throughout.
Evie Irie delivers a performance reminiscent of Lorde that draws the listener in deep with every note.”

The video highlights a man willing to do anything for the one he loves. Both video and song are smile inducing and this song is one that grows on you with each listen.”
“With a sound that at times hints at Kacey Musgraves, V Blackburn delivers an emotional song of self-doubt that speaks to us all.
A heart-wrenching single that beautifully captures the emotions of wondering what true happiness is, and if it is even attainable.
’V’ is the final track off of Blackburn’s EP Public Figure which dropped June 28th.”
“I’m not sure the exact recipe for ‘Sugar Lips,’ but this sound hints a pinch of Prince and a dash of Bruno is a good place to start the mix.
Taunting vocals and a steady groove make this simple song more fun than perhaps it should be. ”
“Mia Mormino’s latest single ‘WTF IS Going On’ was inspired by ‘Cell Block Tango’ from the musical, Chicago and it certainly carries that vibe ... but instead of relying on morbid amusement, this single stabs with the emotion of self-doubt.
In a relationship world dominated by social media and terms like ghosting, this one plays on how it feels to be the one guessing why.”

“The music video is vibrant and Felix Cartal & Lights have re-birthed pop. Her vocals are leveled to perfection giving off the energy of gogo music with a electrifying pop twist. ”
