Oliver Sullivan - High Above (ft. Jetason) [Music Video Review] July 28, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Adult Contemporary, Music Videos, Deep House, Dance, Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “This Deep House track is a true international affair with a Nashville based, Australian handling the vocals over Oliver’s Sullivan’s production.

The end result is a clean engaging track that simply feels right in every choice. made along the way. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

Ferreck Dawn (Feat Jena) - "Better" [Review] June 12, 2023 by Guest User in Dance, Deep House, House Rating: 4 out 5 “House is back in a big way in 2023 and Better is making that wave well… better. From the catchy vocal cutting through the perfectly side-chained production, to the chords setting the perfect bed of emotion, this record feels like summer in Ibiza. The record is hypnotic and understated, but has peaks and valleys in all the right places. Expect to hear this all summer.” — Andrew Amoah (LA On Lock Blogger)
R3HAB x INNA - Rock My Body [Music Video Review] April 30, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial, EDM, Dance, Pop Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “R3HAb and INNA team up to put a new unique spin on Sash!’s iconic 90s hit ‘Ecuador.’ The build and beat are the same, though the vocals and lyrical build make this feel like a completely different song. ’Rock My Body’ is a high energy Dance Pop track with one foot in the past and one solidly here in the present. No the track isn’t reinventing anything, but it is highly danceable and a groove you will fall in on quickly.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Aiida - Stupid Perfect [music Review] April 28, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Dance, Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Aiida unleashes a Pop gem with ‘Stupid Perfect.’ The energetic track is about second guessing a new love as that initial phase of euphoria slides into a warped brand of logic where you begin to ask yourself ... is this real? What am I missing? Nobody is this nice all the time. Call it the Too Good To Be True Syndrome in musical form. And Aiida deliver the track with a fun tempo and melodic build that almost contradicts the mind games she’s plating on herself with self doubt. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

Ben Samama) [Music Review] April 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, EDM, Dance Rating: 4 out of 5 “We all have a bit of ‘Dopamine Junkie’ in us, because we are all chasing those good feelings. This track about the gratifying high of discovering that perfect song that speaks to out heart and soul. The production here is clean, and while the build is fairly subdued for the genre, the track does indeed take the listener on a ride. The vocals are in perfect balance with the beat and build making this a well rounded track that is easy to connect with. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
REYSHA RAMI - PL4Y [Music Review] April 21, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Dance, House Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “A sultry playful build is the earmark of “PL4Y” from REYSHA RAMI. This Electro Pop track has some vintage Madonna vibes mixed with a bit of Dua Lipa inspiration. The song is on the shorter side, though it packs a lot of energy and verve into less than two minutes. Feels like a sexual hype track in the best of ways.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Francis On My Mind - I'm Alright [Music Review] April 19, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Dance, Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Francis On My Mind comes with a Pop Funk brand of energy that is impossible to not fall in on. There is just a hint of rasp in the vocals at times, and that gave me Miley vibes though nothing about ‘I’m Alright’ feels derivative. The track has a fresh, original vibe and an soaring uplifting spirit that will keep listeners coming back for repeat listens. This song fits with so many different mindsets, that you’ll want to add it to numerous playlists.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

All in your head. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock
