“Sophia Messa has a craving and its in human form. Her new single ‘Ice Cream & Cigarettes’ describes how she feels when she is around that person. However, for the things you crave are also the things you don’t need. She goes on to explain that she doesnt want those feelings anymore. Her vocals are raw, emotional, yet solid.”
“Marzs new single ‘So Free’ does give you a free feeling when listening to it. The visual is simple yet you feel his mood as he tells the story of life vs money. The female vocals on the chorus comes in at the right moment. Marzs also speaks on how the world tries to put you in a box but your family and everyone around you wants you to be free and successful.”
“A clever bit of songwriting, and a simple yet imaginative video highlight this track. There is something here that reminded me of Elton John, but just a hint because Thirsty Curses certainly have their own brand of uniqueness to stand on.
’Bruises On Your Shoulders’ is simply put ... the song of life. An entertaining and concise look at the ho-hum, the dreams, the everyday. Hard to categorize, but I was thoroughly entertained.”
“How can you not get down with the philosophy of ‘Don’t Give Me Problems, Give me Wine?’
The tone here is engaging and straightforward. BabyJake emotes the passion behind the lyrics in this track that feels almost Cosmic Cowboy in nature. A hint of Folk, a jolt of Rock, a splash of that 70s Alt Country vibe and this track simply oozes with coolness.”
“Pure Pop glory and attitude!
The vocal talent brings alive a set of wryly humorous lyrics that are indeed entertaining but also very pointed for the times we live in.
This one is for everyone who has ever had to say ‘Seriously, Just Stop,’ to that person that won’t quite texting and calling. Take a hint already.”
“Recent events have inspired so so many submissions in my inbox, and while every track has worth in its message, the sheer number has made it tough to bring a track that feels real, true and unique.
This collaborative effort has managed to rise about the fray do exactly that. ‘Black AF’ offers a variety of voices behind this track and they combine to bring forth a wealth of emotion and truth. Each flow offers a little something different, but each one lands its punches and its view.”
“The lyrical progression and word play of the verses hooked me in more than anything else about this track but there was never a moment where my focus drifted in even the slightest way.
The video and track combine to tell a story that is gripping as well. A full well-rounded project that keeps you leaning in from start to finish. Timely, but not patronizing like so many track coming out today.”
“Delivering an uplifting message with a chorus from John Legend and a Hip-Hop flow from Tay Da Prince, this track is pure inspiration and positive vibes.
The video comes with an All-Star cast and the gospel vibe to the track does not comes at the sacrifice of a rich beat and energetic performance. Get on board with this project and do something positive today, be it a donation, a helping hand, or simply a kind smile towards another. ”

“If you think the West Coast is all sunshine and palm trees you just might be ‘Out Of Bounds.’
In a throwback to the Old School days when the West Coast Rap scene was wild, Pawz One drops a track that is defiant, and if not outright angry, at least outright hostile in the way it challenges perceptions and those trying to front over things they have no clue about. ”
“The Ella Sisters are Norwegian twins sisters and here their voices blend and mix with sheer precision that is tender and emotional, and energetically hopeful.
The tempo of the track isn’t what anyone would call fast, yet there is a positive vibe and lightness to the track that makes it feel upbeat while still maintaining that tender emotional thread. The vocal arrangement has a nostalgic, almost 90’s element to it, though the track feels modern and contemporary with its beat and overall sound. ”
“GB Savant has done what I though was nigh on impossible at this point ... given me a Covid inspired song that held my interest.
Dark and twisty and moody, ‘Coronavirus Soup for the Soul’ rises above the glut of the theme not only with a talented bit of writing, and a brooding build to the vocal flow, but also with strong imagery in the accompanying video. The entire piece comes with a vibe that matches the oddly structured make up of our days during this pandemic.”
“We have all been to those parties or gatherings when we had to show our face even though we truly wanted to be anyplace else. Playing nice against your will is tough, and ‘People I Don’t Like’ is the sexiest, most alluring song about boredom and obligation you will ever hear.
An ode to the fakeness of societal demands. ”
“A slow, soulful track that hints at the Blues behind a songwriter emotional vibe. The ocean and our journey through life form a strong metaphor that is brought to life by these emotion laden vocals and a nice arrangement that serves this track quite well. This is stripped down songwriting and performing that feels far bigger than it actually is thanks to the talent behind it.”
“Some of us simply feels things more deeply, and dare I say openly, than others. Sarah Barrios reveals the introspective pain of being an ‘Emotional’ person that not only feels more deeply, but is willing to acknowledge those emotions rather than burying and pushing them away. The vocals are sweetly vulnerable and in them you can feel the angst and turmoil. ”
“Malcolm Eppz drops a nice vocal flow over a beat that manages to both get out of the way, and give the track a bit of gritty edge. The writing is sharp and such that it takes a few listens to truly digest everything that is being put down. There is a bit of a throwback to the sound, but the overall vibe feels contemporary and fresh.”
“This track brings that raw passion that makes the flow pop and come alive. Solo XL delivers a strong tone to back his flow and that is brought home all the more with the contrast of the chorus delivered in soulful fashion by K I T.
The vibe has a dark grit to it, and the lyrics flow well carrying the listener forward along with the beat. There is a strong hint of Old School here, but still a contemporary sound as well, and the mix blends quite well.”
“Stringz EMB celebrates the powerful, the bold, the demure, the expanse of women in this uplifting and infectious track. With an engaging soulful voice that carries a unique timbre and a fun groove this track is positivity at its best.
StringZ EMB doesn’t hold back from hyping up all the women in his music video, “Beautiful Girl,” and beyond. All women are exquisite no matter their age, race, or body type. The clip highlights all of that majesty in a natural form; the background is a solid color while the focus is on a lucky lady in the middle. They’re smiling and dancing; some are even holding posters with positive self-descriptions, but most importantly, they’re themselves. No frills, no flaws, all beauty.”
“CHAII is a New Zealander of Persian heritage and that bit of personal history fuses with an energetic Hip-Hop style to bring ‘Lightswitch’ alive in a way perhaps no other artist could. The talent and energy of her flow and performance bring this track to life.
This track is part of a visual trilogy that was inspired by Iran’s Islamic Revolution of 1979, which resulted in countless creative talents, including musicians, actors and artists, relocating to California after their work was banned in their homeland. California remains the biggest Persian music community outside of Iran over forty years later and that community inspired and sparked CHAII’s efforts on this project.”
“The imagery of the video tells a more direct story than perhaps the lyrics would by themselves, but this track has the musical chops to stand on its own as well. With a darkly alluring vibe and silky, yet sinister, vocal groove, ‘Animal’ takes us beyond the facade we often put up to what lurks deep inside. Of course sometimes the elements of ourselves we bury are the truest and best parts of ourselves. And the very parts others are desperately hoping to discover ”
“Dallas Thornton is an entertainer in every possible way and that is evident in the rocking sweeping performance of his vocals, as well as his theatrics in the video that comes with this track. I mean this in the best possible way, but if Pauly Shore had a baby with Lady Gaga, I imagine the result would grow up to look a lot like this video.
This is anthem, a Rock celebration, an energetic stomp across the musical stage. So have fun, break out the air guitar, and the imaginary microphone and let yourself join in as we ‘Dance Till We Die.’”
