We Three - Kissin' When We're Mad [Music Video Review] July 29, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Adult Contemporary Rating: 4 out of 5 “Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.” — Quote Source “Emotive right from the start, ‘Kissin’ When We’re Mad’ is the kind of track that feels like it was written in a moment of emotional turmoil and that lends the track a genuineness because we all have those moments. Second guessing everything we do especially in the pursuit of love is part of human nature and this track taps into all of that. Placing this track in a genre box is tough but it has Pop elements, a dash of Electro vibes, and the meotion of a singer/songwriter coffeee house type track. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

Ann Bates offers this fun track with beautiful tender vocals and wryly sharp set of lyrics that makes you stop and think. A fun track with a lively yet subtle beat and soft set of vocals that wraps around you like a warm blanket. No doubt more than a few will be offended, but I’d sure like to think Jesus would dance and smile along to this jaunty track.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger

RONIN - I JUST FKN HATE YOU NOW [Music Video Review] May 28, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Adult Contemporary, Alternative, Rock, Hip-Hop Rating: 4 out of 5 “Coming with a male Billie Eilish feel, this dark and emotive track fromRONIN unleashes a tight lyrical refrain that is laced with both anger and vulnerability. The emotion is very much palpable on this slow and deliberate build. The arrangement is a perfect match to the nuance of the performance and mood of the track. The writing is dark and stark at times, but spot on in capturing the essence.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
River - HAPPY FOR YOU [Music Video Review] May 19, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Neo-Soul, Pop, Bedroom Rating: 4 out of 5 “A soulful track with Pop sensibilities that has hints of Amy Winehouse and a stronger connection to Elle King or ZZ Ward, ‘Happy For You’ is a tongue in cheek track about wishing the best for an ex. The musical equivalent of the South’s Bless Your Heart when someone does or says something stupid the track is biting in a wry way, and the video is a fun watch with the vintage clips setting up the emotion of the track quite well. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
Ducce - Pop Now [Music Video Review] May 18, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Music Videos Rating: 4 out of 5 “If from the bottom to the top was a song it would be this one.

The hook is strong, the track is emotional, and will have you really feeling it.” — Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Lock Blogger]
Bazzi - Will It Ever Feel The Same [Music Video Review] May 14, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Commercial Rating: 4 out of 5 “Bazzi asks the question, ‘Will It Ever Feel The Same,’ on this track about trying to move on from a shattered relationship and broken heart. Starting off with a raspy, yet tender and vulnerable delivery the track takes on more of an edge halfway through and much like our minds it feels like a roller coaster as he deals with the inner turmoil and second guessing. A track with nuance and heart that you can listen to over and over again while digesting the complex thought process of moving on.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
