“An appropriately Lo-fi Hip-Hop flow straight up calling out society for the continued love affair with technology.
Stripped down old school vocals urge us to interact with those who inhabit our world on a more personal level. This is a piece that strikes a perfect balance between art and entertainment — without sacrificing something worthwhile to say.”
“The unflinching, old school flow to this track works because Jay Gudda makes it work. I not only believe the conviction in every word, but also appreciate the fact he pulled zero punches on regard to himself, or in striking others.
The simple video works well with what is laid down.”
“Artist Footsteps leads us to an exotic melody that has us dancing and grooving ”
“Jagwar Twin uses smooth Alternative vocals and a haunting rock melody to celebrate both the similarities and differences in all of us.
Nice video imagery that pares well with the lyrics. A straightforward song that entertains with a nice hook.”
“An engaging dance track with an almost disturbing emotional quality to the lyrics. The vocals are alluring in a fragile desperate kind of way and the single captures the feeling of being out on the ragged edge of your mind.”
“Dylan Rockoff brings a little of that Bruno funk flavor in this fun ode to the fickle nature of both love, and haircuts.
Then again a ‘Bad Haircut’ can ruin far more than your day so maybe this is actually a serious song. Nah, because luckily bad haircuts don’t last forever even if the photographic evidence does. ”
“This is a track that was a slow emotional build for me. The accompanying video is outstanding and helps connect the lyrics to an imagery and vision.
The sound is modern and commercial but not pop exactly, this makes the track hard to categorize, but no matter how you describe the music, the adjectives intelligent and emotional should be used.”
“Calling out the mumblers, Frank B. boldly claims to be coming back to keep Hip-Hop alive. The writing here is smart and sharp and the video is well done as well.”
“A song that will make you both smile and think. The flow varies and is engaging through the multiple delivery styles.
Pure entertainment start to finish. ”
“The beat and vocal vibe work well together here to instill an attitude that goes well with the groove. The build is subtle, but effective making this a nicely produced track all the way through.”
“This track felt dangerous from the first beat, and Ariane’s vocals only add to that foreboding, yet alluring sense. The video tells the story quite well as the song unfolds. Lyrically I did get caught up in the repeated phrase ‘polyester blend,’ but beyond that the lyrics and story here is so palpable I was totally immersed.”
“This track starts with heartfelt set of emotional lyrics, before transforming into a pop-infused and energetic feel good number.
That early emotion is threaded throughout, but the overall vibe is positive and full of hope. The video adds an element of fun with its entertaining ideas.”
“Soft and sexy, Austrian beauty ZOË captivates with an alluring vocal style. The track has a retro European vibe and the video is reminiscent of a perfume ad. Lyricailly the track could have done more, but still I could not look away or stop listening to her voice.”
“The vocals of JES are soft and alluring and carry a perfect commercial tone on this EDM track about finding your like-minded mate to go out and howl at the moon with.
’We Belong To The Night’ comes with an entertaining video that does a great job adding to the emotions of the song.”
“For the first time I am happy to announce ... it is almost monday!
Because, despite the band being named for what is usually a dreadful feeling, this track is a welcome arrival.
Building from an early pop vibe, ‘Broken People’ runs the gamut from commercial, to funk, from disco to rock. The video brings a fun energy and the track is one that will make you smile and sing along.”
“This tracks lands right on the feels for anyone with a Momma ... which means it should speak to every last person.
Delivering truth, while putting humanity into the senseless, the vocal flow is pure and real. The backing, sang by Yalee’s own mother, is emotional and heartrending.”
“Pinpointing exactly what I love about this track is tough. There is an undeniable energy to the performance, and the video is wryly funny.The overall sound here us Euro Punk in nature and the overall project of song/video carries the same European flavor throughout. Well worth a watch and a listen.”
“Lyrical truth is a powerful thing and this track rings true not only in content, but also in the delivery.
Rudeboy Tha Shottah makes me feel his emotions with an honest straightforward delivery that is the musical equivalent of unflinchingly staring someone in the eye while they speak from the heart. ”
“Bluesy and moody, this track conjures emotion and imagery before the vocals ever hit. The attitude continues in both the performance and lyrical content. ”
“Calling out every MF’er, ‘EMF’ is Big Shug laying it out in his no frill fashion.
This is the track to play when you too are pissed off and fed up with with the doubters, naysayers, and haters. Straight-up lyrics dropped over the top of a straight-up beat. Nothing fancy, but effectual. ”
