“There are lots of songs about battling depression, but few if any nail the struggle as well as this track.
’Pills’ brings an up and down energy, an array of emotion, and an engaging narrative that feels real and entertaining without sacrificing emotion or impact. Style wise this is Commercial Pop with a hard beat and an Electro Pop melody over soulful vocal delivery, ”

“The best songs are the ones you can listen to over and over again. The ones where you find subtle new meanings even years after you first hear it. ‘Twentysomething’ has that sort of vibe as it is nuanced and layered, both in the construct of the the beat and melody, but also in the songwriting and vocal delivery.

“A kick ass vocal edge slices through convention on this track detailing the lustful pursuit of our heroine on the prowl for the right ‘Loverboy’ to quell her needs.

“Okay, I will ‘Admit It,’ MIDLO delivers a pop triumph in this single.

Most of us guys have fallen prey to the charms of a crush and attempted to mold ourselves into what we think they want, but the tactic never leads to a good place and this is as amusing and energetic of a cautionary tale as you are likely to ever find.”
“Kate Vogel has one of those rare voices that can make you truly feel the emotion of the lyrics without relying on vocal tricks. Raw and natural her performance on ‘The Grave’ details the grief of an unexpected loss in haunting beauty. Call it Singer/Songwriter, Americana or simply Commercial music if you will but labels are unimportant when an artist can draw you in and immerse you in the feelings this well. ”
