Concept -Run To [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The XScape “Who Can I Run To” reference automatically puts the listener in a state of recollection. Who says r&b is dead. 90s style hook and composition. Smooth, well delivered vocals. Well written arrangements and harmonies. This song is a vibe. ”

“Violins, piano, guitars and soothing vocals. Straight from the soul lyrical conviction written in conversational form so that its more felt than heard.

Andrea Clute - Nervous [Music Video Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Andrea Clute drops this emotionally vulnerable and honest track about getting ‘Nervous’ in the presence of a crush or new romantic interest. The soft Pop style vocals work well and feel genuine. This is a straightforward track that most of us can relate to at some point in our lives. I like the way the track builds and you can almost hear an escalating heartbeat in the rhythm of the music. ”
Ben Alexander x Arya - Rush [Music Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“Electro R&B anyone?
Okay, so that isn’t exactly an official genre, but if it was ‘Rush’ from Ben alexander and Arya would top the charts right now. With a smooth, almost early 90s synth vibe, and a classic R&B vocal groove the track blends not only genres, but eras of music and still somehow feels contemporary and fresh in doing so. ”
Mathilde Widding - Stronger [Music Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Mathilde Widding brings a vocal style that falls between ZZ Ward and Amy Winehouse so fans of either are likely to appreciate this engaging track.
’Stronger’ brings a soulful groove with a decided edge and tantalizing vocals that engage from the very start. Widding is a talent that will only continue to build and grow her powerful delivery so keep an ear on this rising star.”
Broadway B - Left Right [Music Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“An every man anthem, ‘Left Right’ is about marching along to the demands of responsibility and adulthood. The track offers soaring vocals and an almost gospel like R& B soul that hits like the truth and hope at the same time.
Broadway B is passionate and the vocals sweep the listener up and along while the words make you want to shout AMEN! Not in a religious way, but in life -style.”
Jay Kayze - Over Love [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“People change and the best ones grow and learn from their past mistakes. This track is about being that new person and reflecting on a prior relationship. My only critique is that I wanted more and the song was over far too soon.
Blending a Hip-Hop vibe and a smooth R& B type groove the talent shines and pulls in the listener quickly and easily. ”
LEWIS FITZGERALD - SHORT RIDE (ft. WEWANTWRAITHS) [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“Lewis Fitzgerald is a twenty-one year old rising star. The UK singer/songwriter is joined here by WEWANTWRAITHS and the video has the two of them cruising through the streets of London as they delivery a track we can all relate to.
Life is indeed a ‘Short Ride,’ and sadly can be even far shorter than we plan, so this is a song to help remind us to live each day to our fullest.
Fitzgerald weighs in on the track saying ... ‘This song represents some of my childhood and things I went through, I had suicidal thoughts and attempts when I was younger and it’s kind of like my way of releasing that pain now through this sound, remembering how it was and how I thought at the time, it’s like me saying it to myself.’
Despite the heavy inspiration of the track, the single never feels overwrought, and it can simply be enjoyed as a smooth groove and entertaining song to brighten your world. ”
Broderick Jones - What Do You Want [Music Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“This is a talented track than I can imagine hearing on Tik Tok as it sends an easy simple message with a straight-forward hook. That said, the track offers more than just a catchy hook as Broderick Jones delivers an engaging vocal build to go with nuanced and provocative writing.
Listeners will quickly latch on and sing along. The track is ripe to explode as it is highly shareable and relatable. ”
M'Lynn - Safety Net [Music Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“A smooth and easy groove combines with a steady rhythm to keep this track moving with ease and grace. The vocal talent is silky and tender, and instills a nice romantic vibe.
Lyrically, I did crave a bit more, but even with that, this is a track I could listen to for years to come. An apt mood setter, and affirmation of the idea that everything feels right when you are secure and stable in your love.”
Ni/Co - what it (do do do) [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
A smooth R&B groove with heavy Pop leanings about letting the bad stuff roll off and way from you. It is far too easy to hold grudges and plot revenge, but then the offending party lives inside your head so sometimes we have to let go of our resentment and trust Karma to work her magic. This song is an artful reminder of that.
RIa Barkr - Monday [Music Video Review]
Review: 4 out of 5
“Monday’s can seem so long when you are not happy with your daily routine. The routine of going to a job that you aren’t in love with. Rla Barkr delivers a soulful melody about choosing between a job and your passion. As Monday stays heavy on her mind she is reminded of being grounded to a 9-5 because of bills. Some people can do both but in her case it takes up all her time.”
anees - Leave Me [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
“A smooth easy groove with Reggae and Pop influences in the tone and delivery. An ode to love and the disappointment we fell when we let that other person down and do them wrong. The pain is tangible and the passion emotes through in every line. A song of directness and emotional pain that is an apology of sorts but also a pledge to be better. ”
Delilah Blower - This Ain't Love - [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“The vocal tone carries a bit of Amy Winehouse, but the groove and build feels more like ZZ Ward. Either way, Delilah Blower is her own artist and certainly delivers the it factor right from the start.
”This Ain’t Love’ is the kind of track that sinks its hooks in deeper and deeper as you listen, and that sticks with you long after the final note has faded from your ears.”
Ice Meez - Swim [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A smooth R&B/Rap blend for the warm summer days and those sexy poolside parties. Ice Meez and Trill Lee team on this track to deliver a soulful groove that hits as hard lyrically as it slides easily through the ears melodically.
Get out there with a drink in your hand a the sun on your face and ‘Swim,’ but don’t spill that beverage when your gliding to the groove.”
Elle Baez - Mister Possessive [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Elle Baez conveys power and confidence and attitude infused declarations in ‘Mister Possessive.’ the track is about taking control and walking away when need be or simply being the master of your won fate and desires. The track has a power R&B feel but really transcends genre with its confidence and verve. ”
Tucker Nichol - Over the Edge [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Tucker Nichol’s soft vocals elevates to a contemporary R&B track that will have you reminiscing past emotions. “Over The Edge” asks what to do when you are trying to forgive or let someone’s actions speak for theirselves. ”
Mykel - Maybe [Review]
“Mykel is done wasting time in a dead-end relationship and issues a last-chance ultimatum in her new single ‘Maybe.’ A stripped-down, R&B ballad in the same vein as ‘Resentment’ by Beyoncé, ‘Maybe’ features bluesy guitar and Mykel’s confident, wide-ranging vocals, with a message of empowerment that will resonate with anyone who’s tired of dealing with an emotionally unavailable partner.
The track comes with a smooth groove and build and those sultry vocals that make it clear the one that pissed her off is surely going to regret it somewhere down the road.”
