Max George - Hate You [Review]

April 30, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Singer, Songwriter and Actor Max George is taking his Glee talents and putting them in his new single ‘Hate You’. In an energetic yet hurt single he reveals how he is hurt and torn but doesn’t ‘Hate You’’. He gives many reasons he should but he realizes he has none. ”

    Dror - "Bloodline" [Music Video Review]

    April 29, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “Dror drops this noir-esque track that puts his unique tone to great use. This is very much a storytelling song and the video advances the narrative quite well. Think Bonnie and Clyde, meets a modern Ride or Die vibe with the allure of a pop song and the emotion of classic R&B. You can taste the energy in every vivid word of this track. ”

      LU KALA - Want You [Review]

      April 29, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Electro Pop, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “The unique timbre to LU KALA’s vocals are the first thing I noticed on the track. Then the well-wriiten lyrics captured my attention. ‘Want You’ is a track about a relationship not delivering what she needs, and yet the allure and desire is still, illogically present. The performance sells the emotion, while the beat and melody offer an energetic vibe giving this track a well-balanced allure of its own.”

        Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club (Acoustic Video) [Music Video Review]

        April 28, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “A magic club where everyone can freely be themselves without fear of judgment? That is what Chappell Roan has given us here with ‘Pink Pony Club,’ a heart-rendering vocal ballad about acceptance. The piano melody and Roan’s vocals invite you in and the tender songwriting holds you, leaving you eager to discover what’s next in this song of both hope and sadness. ”

          Medusa - Man Like That [Review]

          April 26, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Smooth and soulful like far more music used to be. The vocals drop in with a heavy dose of want and sensuality, whereas the lyrics are more about the hopes and dreams of what she is looking for out of a relationship. The R&B groove is infectious and grubs you start to finish giving this track an allure that is pleasing to the ears and mind and impossible to escape.”

            Aron Blom - Water [Review]

            April 24, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Aron Blom possesses an engaging vocal tone that pulls you deep into his performance here on the single, ‘Water.’ The track takes a look at that next phase of a relationship when the initial lust and luster has faded and perhaps you realize the other person is not quite as perfect as you first believed. However, this rediscovery can lead to an even better understanding and long lasting love and Blom is able to covey this thorough strong writing and his touching vocals.”

              “There is something to be said for unbound optimism and that is exactly what YONAS is offering with his positive vibe laden track, ‘Good Day.’

              The flow here is loud and vibrant and full of easy to follow good cheer, even when YONAS drops a few fuck yous along the way. Join in, song along and you to can be having a ‘Good Day.’ ”

                “Olivia Deane brings an energy and attitude to this genre bending track. Bringing definite Pop swagger and production to lyrics that permeate a honky-tonk queen vibe of Country music at its best, Deane put her foot down on the dating world’s throat with her single, ‘Cynic Queen.’ But so pure is the talent and earnest emotion that you can’t help but give her an enthusiastic ...

                  “Breaking up is hard no matter the circumstances, but what happens when one or both of those involved knows that saying goodbye is a mistake they will regret?

                  That exact scenario is at the heart of this single from Madeleine Rae & Al von Staats. Both sets of vocals are soft and tender, and you can feel the emotion of the moment in the soft sweet arrangement. ”

                    Escaping the memories of a lost love is tougher in this digital age where the current lives and statuses are but a click away, so even when we ‘Don’t Really Want To Know’ what is going on with that ex, the compulsion to check in is a hard one to fight. ”

                      “There are some tracks that just grab you and refuse to let you go. Picture This has given us one of those infectious singles with ‘Troublemaker.’

                      There is a campy quality to the video that grips you in the same way as a classic comedy that you don’t want to laugh and get drawn into, but then you find yourself quoting lines from that very flick years later. Here, the allure goes beyond the video, and this is a set of lyrics you will find yourself singing along to later as well. Don’t fight it, just give in and enjoy this unadulterated fun.”

                          “What happens when the one that did you wrong moves on, and you are left not hating them nearly as much as you think you should? This odd mix of emotions is what fuels Sophia Gripari’s new single, ‘Hate You But I Don’t.’

                          Gripari’s vocals hint at a lurking pain behind the sweet tone, and the production is low key which allows the emotions to seep through making the track sneakily powerful.”

                              “With soaring vocals, Molly Hammar brings her latest single, ‘Alone’ to a big bold sound that sweeps you in as a listener — and holds you with the power and emotion.

                              Being alone can be tough, but being with the wrong person can be so much worse, and far more harmful in the long run. The overall vibe here is tough to pin to a traditional genre as it contains elements of Pop, R&B, and EDM and yet the the blend is very engaging and entertaining.”

                                Cloudy June - High Waist To Hell [Review]

                                “Something about Cloudy June simply hit different from other submissions. Sure, there is a definite Pop vibe to this single, but there is an underlying edge, a sharpness that is perhaps a residue of June’s three year stint as the lead singer of a Death Metal band. A dash of danger, a dose of sex and an infectious set of vocals keeps you tethered to this single with its clever ‘High Waist to Hell,’ an obvious ode to AC/DC. ”

                                  “This buzzworthy Electro Pop track was written pre Covid-19, about emerging on the other side of a hard time, but if ever the idea that ... nothing is ever going to ‘Feel’ the same ... holds relevancy, then this is that time.

                                  The track starts slow and moody before bursting into a more energetic vibe and performance. The overall effect is a single that feels both timeless and strikingly sharp in arriving here at this moment in time.”

                                    “Seductive and full of cravings is how I would describe Artist Rozette new single ‘Bite’. If you ever desired someone this is the song for you. Rozette new single will have you wanting to grab someone, smell them, kiss them, taste them and even take a’Bite’. She doesn’t hold anything back and her vocals are powerfu.l ”

                                      “Peri El drops this soulful crooning ballad about being utterly and fantastically fed the hell up.

                                      There is a jazzy lounge vibe to the beat and melody, and a smooth sultry flow to the vocals which in some ways makes the razor sharp lyrical jabs catch you by surprise.

                                      This is the a track that could become an anthem for every woman out there sick and damn tired of being fed bullshit. ”

                                        “Leena Regan captures the spirit and emotions of a runner quite well. I don’t mean a runner as in a jogger or marathoner, but rather a person that flees from others when things get to intense.

                                        Yes, even these kind of runners haves emotions even if they run like hell from them. Don’t fall for a runner because they will bolt at the first sign of attachment.

                                        ’Flowers’ puts you inside that mindset and allows for some clarity to the motivation behind them, no matter which side of that spectrum you may be on. Delivering an Indie Pop sound, with engaging vocals and a nice commercial beat and production, this is a track that pulls you in and holds you there. ”
