This lyric video provides emotional healing at a smooth pace. ” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]
Breeze Davinci - Mind Games [Music Video Review] October 22, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Neo-Soul, Rap, Autotune Rating: 4 out of 5 “Breeze Davinci rides a smooth flow and an addictive beat to bring out ‘Mind Games.’ The vocals lean on the production dynamics a bit too much at times, leaving me craving more emotional resonance, but the impact still comes through enough for me to engage and stay tethered to the build. The writing and groove are strong and the track is one I will certainly add to a few different playlists.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Peaceful James x HEISAM - Fool 4 U [Music Video Review] October 22, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “This track is not quite as warbling as Biz Markie’s famous track, but ‘Fool 4 U’ has that same fun vibe and groove that is easy to connect with. The piano drives the beat and the fun vocal arrnangement sweeps you along on this song about knowing the person is bad for you and having a hard time breaking away just the same. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
BEXX - Daydream [Music Video Review] October 21, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Alternative, Indie Rock Rating : 4 out of 5 “What are you willing to do for love? That seems to be what BEXX is asking on this supercharged Indie Rock trip that is both surreal and exotic in a psychedelic kind of way. The video adds to all of that as well and in conjunction with the message of the lyrics gives this complete project a polished intent that few songs/video combinations offer. This is the type of project that sticks in your mind and instills new meaning with each watch/listen.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Riiyoo & Lil Lee - 10-4 [Music Video Review] October 16, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Music Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “The best advice someone can give you is to “Get That Money”. Riiyoo & Lil Lee new single “10-4” is about getting money and taking the advice that OGs give you. The translation of “10-4” is understanding what is advised to you or done to you. The beat is somewhat suspenseful with a hard tempo. ” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]

ODDA - Mama [Music Video Review] October 15, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Alternative Rating: 4 out of 5 “ODDa grew up on an island off the south of England and that landscape feels much like the tone and vibe of his music. There is a soft beauty and an underlying harshness that speaks of crashing waves and win swept shoreline. The track is heavy on emotion and feels all consuming much like the salty spray of the sea when you stand near it. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
TATUM - Homecoming [Music Video Review] October 15, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop, Adult Contemporary Rating: 4 out of 5 “This track took thirty or forty seconds to truly hook me in and once it did I was leaning in and invested the rest of the way. I was intrigued enough early on to stay with it so I’m not saying the opening isn’t strong, just that the emotion truly landed for me a bit deeper in. The video feels right for the mood and emotion of the track. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

J. Oso - drop [Music Video Review] October 08, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Trap, Hip-Hop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Bars for days. J. Oso drops this track which eschews a traditional hook, in favor of a steady barrage of hard hitting lines and each one lands and delivers a punch that fits perfectly with the mood and attitude of the writing. The beat production gets out of the way for the most part, but does add an underlying attitude which helps bring out the verve of the flow.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
AJ Smith - Cooler [Music Video Review] October 08, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop, Commercial Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “Staying calm, cool, and collected, in the midst of a first date is no easy feat, and AJ Smith deliver the emotions of those anxious moments with sheer brilliance on this track. ‘Cooler’ is about trying to shake off the mental trappings and insecurities to better connect with the person that has caught your attention.

This is a track that will stick in your head and keep you settled in a mood all day long. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
XANDE - DOWNFALL [Music Video Review] October 08, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “This emotive track falls somewhere between an emotional singer/songwriter vibe and an Electro Pop energy ready to erupt. Written about the mental health struggles of the singer’s father, the track could certainly be interpreted in other way as well and in that versatility the talent of both the writing and the performance comes alive. I felt every word and held on in eager anticipation to see how the track would build and progress. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Fettiboyz Dinero - Jerm Codefendant (First Day Out) [Music Video Review] October 08, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Music Videos Rating: 5 out of 5 “I thought this would be just like any other first day out track but FettiBoyz Dinero Jerm proved me wrong. After spending 31 months in jail Fetti was released after proving his innocence. He tells his truth in his new single “Co Defendant”.

GAYLE - abcdefu [Music Video Review] October 07, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “GAYLE offers this stripped down FU to a former boyfriend, and while the track starts subtle enough, it soon tromps straight to the point in calling out the hypocrisy and lies behind a bad breakup.’abcdefu’ offers both clever word play and the directness to make the point with stark clarity. The vocal tone is intriguing and laden with the proper emotion to make such a track truly come alive. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Elle Baez - Stereotype [Music Video Review] September 25, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Commercial, Music Videos Rating: 5 out of 5 “This world is full of stereotypes.

Life is about having fun and not being anyone’s snow white with tight jeans. ” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]
