Neville - VINCENT VAN GOGH [Review] May 23, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “An intriguing song on the vocal talent and arrangement alone, but that is not all Neville and her single, ‘VINCENT VAN GOGH’ offers. The writing is sharp, and makes it’s point by highlighting the unnecessary and stupid challenges that women face in society. This is a Pop track with some Electro vibes to it. A track you can move to or reflect on, and either way it offers nice attitude and a bit of verve that makes it truly come alive.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock
Anna Thompson x Nicky Buell - AM I THE DRAMA? [Review] April 30, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “A dark twisty track about revenge, or at least contempt between best friends turned lovers, and ultimately into exes in every possible way. Both voices are uniquely talented and sell the emotion well. The funky groove is sinister in its composition, adding to the brooding vibes of the track. ’Am I The Drama?’ is the question of the day and this track makes it clear the drama is tangible between these two. ” — Quote Source

The Attire - Girls Like You February 24, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “The Attire is comparable to Bruno MArrs and Maroon 5 and falls solidly in the Funk Pop sound. ‘Girls Like You’ is a soulful ode to affairs of the heart and the way our hearts get drug down some rocky roads but we keep taking that bumpy ride hoping for that magical ride we call love.

STAY GLDN - Dead Ends, Fake Friends [Music Video Review] January 21, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Electro Pop Rating: 4 out of 5 “LA on Lock is proud to premier this new single from STAY GLDN. ‘Dead Ends, Fake Friends’ is the antithesis of nostalgia. There are many track about going home again but this British band puts a different spin by lamenting the fact they did not leave all that much behind when the left the nest.
