    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Already having made her mark as a model, digital artist, and fashion designer, MIXIE is celebrating her artistic journey into music with her debut single, ‘Run Away.’

    LGBTQI+ to the bone and current Manhattanite, MIXIE is a renaissance girl for the 21st century. Riding pure Pop tones and Commercial vibe musically, this track is right at home with current hits. The energy and lyrical flow hooks in and doesn’t let go. ”

      Hayk Keys - Party Of One [Review]

      November 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “An accomplished songwriter, Hayk Keys is now writing hits for himself and ‘Party Of One.’ might be the first time you are hearing Keys, but I have a solid hunch it won’t be the last.

      The track delivers an engaging energy and lyrical honesty that resonate and keeps the listener invested in the overall build. A fun Commercial sound that gets in and does the job without a bunch of unnecessary production tricks or gimmicks. ”

        Arlo Boe - 80's Movie [Review]

        November 24, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “For a lot of people the 80s were the height of Pop music and this tack from Arlo Boe pays homage to the glorious synth sounds of that era. There is a Flashdance and Footloose feel to this track and it certainly would be right at home alongside those soundtracks but there is still a contemporary edge that lifts this one above being merely a tribute to musical glories of decades past. ”

          Anja Kotar - Fun For You [Music Video Review]

          November 23, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “To steal a few words from from Game Of Thrones ... the dating world is dark and full of dangers.

          Okay, so the original line was the night is dark and full of terrors, but we all know most dating is done at night and no matter the time it is certainly fraught with trouble. Anja Kotar knows this and sings about the odd struggle in a fun and expressive way on ‘Fun For You.’ Both the song and video are pure Pop energy that entertains all the way through.”

            Ryan Riback - (Just Can't) Hate U (feat. Dotter) [Review]

            November 23, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Australian producer, Ryan Riback pushes all the right buttons in giving us this single. ‘(Just Can’t) Hate U’ features the vocals talent of Dotter and the pairing of talent brings the song out to its fullest.

            We’ve all had that person we should hate, but just can’t seem to find that particular emotion so we turn to them far more times that we should. This song is about such a dilemma and the odd mix of feelings that comes with it.”

              Michelle Ray - Tattoo [Review]

              November 19, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “Michelle Ray leaves her mark, just as a ‘Tattoo’ does but Ray does it with a powerful voice and the emotive delivery not many artists are capable of. Big and bold this single has the same vibe you get from Pink, or Adele or other truly expressive vocalists.

              Don’t sleep on this single, because Michelle Ray is a clear star in the making, and this is your chance to buy in early and help spread the word. ”

                “Light and upbeat, ‘Never Alone’ from Ian Oshér is one of those songs that grabs you in immediately and refuses to let you go. The LA artists rides a nice calm wave to deliver the track. There is a subtle energy and spark without the track resorting to gimmicks or over production. The simple, straightforward lyrics and arrangement work quite well. ”

                  “Taska Black teams up with Dash on this engaging track. “Going Nowhere’ is a pledge and a promise to stay loyal and true no matter what life throws up as a roadblock.

                  The build is engaging and the progression soft and vulnerable while also also fiercely determined in its tone. The mood of the track perfectly matches the tone of the writing and the build sweeps the listener along with little effort. ”

                        Coming with a Commercial Pop Punk sound ‘PSYCHOPATH’ delivers an up and down tempo that matches the impact of the writing and keeps the listener guessing what will come next as they lean in and lose the world around them.”

                          “We have all been burned by our ‘Feelings,’ and this track is a soft slow building track that makes us feel that rising tide of emotion once again.

                          The vocals are vulnerable and invite you in and the production gets out of the way while still instilling an added layer to to the mood of this smooth track. This is one to add to your playlist you go to when your heart is heavy and the world feels like it has the upper hand.”

                            ’Cannot Tell A Lie’ is the kind of track that rallies the women fed up with men’s shit, and that makes it a power anthem of sorts, but as a man myself I too can appreciate the talent and energy behind both the performance and the writing.

                              “Jaci Butler comes straight at you with a flow that is more Punk Pop than Hip-Hop. The track grabs and holds you through the entre progression.

                              Get ready to party with this single that takes you ‘Straight to the Bank.’ I was reminded of Gwen Stefani for sure, but Butler brings enough verve and energy of her own to make this track stand out as more than a single inspired by the works of others. This is a fun party vibe and one that works quite well.”

                                “An ode to gritty teenage romance, ‘Ireland in 2009’ is packed with soaring vocals, anthemic production and Caroline Romano’s signature unfiltered lyricism. “It’s a story of falling in love in car parks and waking up in your school clothes,” she says. “It’s about being far too young to know anything at all and the all-or-nothing emotions that come with juvenescence.”

                                For me the song simply has heart and emption and a genuine ”

                                  MJ Wood - You Are [Review]

                                  “There is an old school feel on the fringe of MJ Wood’s latest single ‘You Are,’ and yet the song feels decidedly contemporary. I hear influences from the past from talented artists such as Phil Collins, but the track still is fresh and original as well, and that is a testament to the artistry and passion behind the song.

                                  Written as a love song to his wife, the lyrics are heartfelt and genuine and that shines in every moment.”

                                    “Katelyn Tarver is an accomplished singer/songwriter that deserves far more accolades than she has received thus far.

                                    ’Hurt Like That’ is yet another feather in her quiver of talented tracks and both the performance and the writing sparkle here. Give this track a listen, then take a deep dive into Tarver’s library and discover the wonders that awaits you.”

                                      “Seventeen year old AJA comes with with emphatic energy and verve on the new track, “Better Off Without You.’ The attitude wins the day here in this ode to breaking free from toxic people.

                                      AJA is a young talent but her age does not diminish the power or substance so keep an ye and an ear on this rising talent for years to come. And be sure to add this track to your playlists to call up anytime you are feeling fierce and determined to exorcise the idiots from your own life. ”

                                        “Super producer, Stark teams up with Soul singer, Kestra to bring ‘Your Sweet Power’ to life. Riding a funky bassline, the track sweeps you up and into the lyrical build. We’ve all had that teacher or mentor that we can hear whispering to us even when they are nowhere around and this song captures that power in a soulful groove that is easy to sway along with and connect on a deeper level as well. ”
