Evie Irie delivers a performance reminiscent of Lorde that draws the listener in deep with every note.”

The video highlights a man willing to do anything for the one he loves. Both video and song are smile inducing and this song is one that grows on you with each listen.”
“In the spirit of a many other great storyteller songs, ‘L.A.’ makes us care about Elle as a character. Through great songwriting and an empathetic and stirring performance, we take a journey with Elle knowing full well there is no happy ending waiting. But we do it because life doesn’t always come with the fairy-tale ending and this single feels like life.
The melody matches the emotions perfectly throughout, and this is one of those sad songs that somehow leaves us feeling hopeful because of its ability to tap into a part of ourselves. Such music and writing helps us realize we are not alone in our thoughts, fears, and emotions. ”
“A touching anthem of compassion.
This single, along with the video, tells a story that goes on everyday across countless cities. Voices are heard, but sometimes it truly does take an ‘Echo’ before anyone bothers to pay attention. Beautifully performed, this is a song about humanity that everyone should hear. ”
“It has been a long while since I’ve heard a true Indie Rock song with that carefree IDGAF spirit. The kind of song that is real and true and seems to say, “Hey Man I don’t really care what you think about me, because this is my life and my feelings and my viewpoint and I’m going to sing about all of them without regard to commercial viability or radio airplay.
That is not to say Picsel does not have anything meaningful or worthwhile to say, it just means they are not pandering to conformity, and that is what Rock Music was built upon. ”
“Classic sultry rock vocals atop an energetic melody.
Little by little rock seems to be crawling out from the shadows once again and artists such as Zoe Zobrist are leading the way.”

“This one snuck up on me. The early beat caught my attention but at first it all felt a little too clean and poppy and that made me automatically assume any emotion would be artificial. But something held my focus and kept me listening.
Soon enough the joy and simplicity of the message won me over. And when later I gave this single another listen, I found myself moving to the groove and singing along. I suppose you could say I did exactly as the title suggested. Give this one a listen and ‘Let’s Get Lost.’ ”

Truth is a powerful thing when delivered direct and with conviction..”
“The beauty is this track feels just like what the title says ... a ‘Legacy.’
Ari has a background performing as a frontman and actor, and this, his first solo music, showcases those talents with bold bravado vocally.
I suspect we are about to hear a lot more out of ARI and already the single “Legacy” was tabbed by Rolls Royce to play a part in the luxury carmaker’s marketing for their signature model, Ghost.
Given the classic rock sounds Ari is sending forth, I can’t wait to hear more off the new album.”

’Damage Done’ is songwriting done right, and this is a song that showcases the power music has us to pull us in and turn our hopes, fears, and memories a direction we were not expecting. ”
“Some people and would-be artists spit shit and you know in an instant, talk is all they got. Fatboi Gwalla Gwalla talks plenty of shit, but the man has that ooomph behind his flow that makes his lyrics bump and breathe no matter what day of the week it is, ‘Thursday’ included.”
