“Alli Fitz “Falling Star” is about wanting to fall head over hills in love with someone. This dance hall track with uplift anyone that listens to it. It stays consistent with the mix of happy, romantic, and commercial. The ending gives us a little solo action but it still builds a musical connection to the rest of the song.”
“A soft, raw vocal performance that makes the listener feel as if you’re right there in front of Christina Trocchio. Enchanting. Chill. The use of the electric piano and soft drums pats to carry the vocals is the perfect match. The use of harmonies to add texture to already soulful and heartfelt vocal leads. This is a beautiful composition that feels as good as rain on a hot summer day.”
“Connor Kauffman is an artist I’ve featured before and once again he’s blown me away with his talent and emotive expressions of the human condition.
Not everyone deserves second or third chances, even if you happen to share DNA with that person. Though that is a tough thing to accept because we are all conditioned to believe blood is thicker than water and that is exactly why some grievances hurt worse than others.
Kauffman uses his talent to share this experience and in doing so helps us find our own healing path all while being entertained by his stellar performance.”
“My Two Cents is a romantic yet commercial track. In a song dedicate to his wife, Cortright tells the story of how he became a cat person because of her cat. The cover art also reveals this. However, listening to the track you will find your self engaged and acknowledging this is a romantic track while never realizing it is about pets until the end. ”
“Falling for someone with emotional baggage can be challenging. You found yourself struggling to love because you are scared. However, Gabi Sklar “Thank God” is a little different.

You may have lost “love” but the greatest reward was realizing it wasn’t love and you found yourself again. ”
“It is always good to come across a song that has a classic RnB sound. Ride or Die is about being by your partner’s side through it all. Ride or Die is the original concept to passenger princess but with more meaning to it. The diverse dance approach takes me back to the Brittney Spears and Christina Aguilera era with a twist of Ciara. The song is cute, smooth, with a little pop. ”
“A classical piano intro turned jazzed up pop composition. The hook is catchy and preaches the “mantra” of doing whatever it is you wanna do. This song is an uplifting track about really digging deep inside and understanding that you can go as far as you push yourself to go. Smooth melodic vocals over a chill, pop style production. The bridge brings forth the climax of the track then leads to skillful play to end the song out as the chorus rings on. Janet Noh delivers with this one. ”
“CAii’s vocals are both raw and edgy. Not the typical polished sound you usually get on pop style beats. The song has a dark yet confident undertone that caters to the message of being able to stand alone. Although you won’t be overly impressed with the vocal delivery the song itself is a vibe and definitely something you could turn up and jam out to. ”
“Mosh pit music. Dark, heavy trap drums and snares. Aggressive, no nonsense bars. This song is sure to tear the club up. Dev, TheMusicMan definitely is an artist to check for. ”
“Keira Gray’s voice is both chilling and the type of voice that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Then the hook comes in and those crispy vocals become textures and messy which relate a stronger sense of urgency and conviction. A catchy hook that will have all the teen girls singing it word for word. Playful and fun. Keira Gray is definitely someone to be on the look out for.”
“The snares smack you right in your ear drum. This song is fused with instrumental gumbo. From the horns coming in and out. To the symphony style strings that create the melody along with the bass. A playful, easy to learn song. The music along will keep you dancing and jamming. This song is a true party vibe. ”
“Beenie Man is back. Any track with Beenie Man is a dancehall vibe. Cruz Rock’s “Be Mine” takes off with energetic drums over a sound you have heard before. This is a love track but it is also says I am on vacation and going to have fun. Beenie Man reminds us he is still the legend of Caribbean music. ”
“Allow the beat to take over your body and go up and down then Bom Bom. Chapa Bom Bom is a Latin & Hispanic dance mix that will have you on the dance floor all night. Whether its with your partner or a night out with friends you will find yourself engaged with every tempo this track has to offer regardless if you only understand parts of it.”
“Kids at Midnight deliver chilled vocals over an energetic production. The song allows you to escape to a retro summer of endless fun. The Pacific is a track that will excite you to explore everything summer has to offer and the fact the track was written, recorded, and produced by the artist makes it an even more classic hit. ”
“Life can be stressful. We take on anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Some experience this more than others and Ollie sings about loving someone who is suffers from panic attacks. He walks her through breathing and encourages her but he also explains her experience. Hoping love will allow her to be free. This song is truly beautiful. ”
“The end of a relationship can feel like the death of a loved one and going through the such grief takes time. Often we eventually emerge on the other side stronger and only then can we appreciate what we once had. This track follows that pattern and Caroline Roman’s talent vocals sell the story as much as the artful writing. ‘St George’ is a song with heart, and genuine humanness to its spirit. ”

“Written for her best friend, ‘For Shaughnessy’ is a tribute to friendship, empathy, and the power of emotional connection. Madisyn Gifford never meant this track to be released but when she shared it with her friend they decided together that this was a song that needed to be shared and heard by others.
The power of friendship is clear and so is the humanity of the writing as well as Gifford’s incredible vocal talent.”
“Breakups are complex and hard, no matter the circumstances and often the wounded parties pretend as if they never knew each other to cope and move on.
Vilhelm Buchaus tackles this dynamic with the powerful lyrics of ‘Nothing At All.’ A soaring ode to heartbreak and resiliency and trying to pick up the pieces. This Commercial leaning singer/songwriter vibe has an Ed Shereen meets Taylor Swift kind of vibe and is universal enough to reach anyone who has suffered through the grief of a breakup.. ”
“Caroline Romano is a star on the verge of breaking out, and her latest single, ‘This House,’ is the kind the emotionally laden track that will endure her to listeners.
Reminding me of the emotional punch Taylor Swift delivers Romano blends vocal power and talent with a vulnerability and honest songwriting to go beyond the superficial and talk directly to our souls. ”
