“The bass sets the tone of what’s to come on this dark, groovy tune. The instruments are masterfully played and perfectly in sync with the vocalist. Never overbearing or under bearing the artist. This is pure sound track music. From an 80s musical style to modern day com horror flicks. This song is a refreshing new sound that is definitely here to stay.”
“This song is a bop from inception. Deep, bass kicks and hi hats. Eery, telephonic adlibs complimenting the artist rough and raw delivery. Then the smooth transition into the melodic, trance style hook. This song has a futuristic undertone to it that could hint at this being a new wave of music in the near music. Very innovative. ”
“This song reminds me of when everyone was stuck inside for nearly two years and were finally able to go outside. It builds on the excitement of everything that you have on your to do lis. The track is direct and makes you want to participate in getting drunk and being loud. ”
“Live bands always give hip hop songs a vibe that can’t be matched with digital production. Blvff comes in and jumps all over the beat with a Wale-ish type flow. Never wasting a single bar. Jaydii came in a little more unorthodox but still complimenting what had already been masterfully laid down beforehand. A jazzy, Rappy jam. A good time on a beat. ”
“This song is masterfully written.The artist vocals project off the speakers almost as if he’s live in front of your face. Then boom, the music blares though like wild wind and takes you on one hell of a musical journey. Fun. Loud. Well arranged, well written. This song is just a smash. I would love to hear more from this band.”
“The beginning of the song is to prep you of what A1TheHookGod is about to preach to you. People come in and out of your life but if they don’t serve you any purpose than they are “Dead Weight”. The rap flow is chilled and the visual tells a hidden story of spiritual guidance when letting go of things in your life. This song will defiantly keep you hooked then again they don’t call him the “Hook God” for nothing. ”
Rating: 3 out of 5
“You know a record is good when you feel like you already know it after the first listen. Not because it sounds like anything else but because it resonates at just the right frequency. Alaska is rough around the edges, its raw its sheer emotion. It’s poetic in a way where you don’t quite know what its about but you feel exactly whats going on. ”
“This is a true track for the pop culture. Rafa and Kameko reveal their vulnerability through “Hopeless”. The song takes you through peaceful emotions because they realize and are at peace over what was loss. ”
“Space Acre has a sound that reminded me of the Foo Fighters meets Kate Bush. This is Rock and Roll with an edge and underlying emotion that actually says and means something. ‘That Girl’ is an anthem for anyone who identifies and female but this is a jam no matter who or what you are. And yeah, we live in a politically charge time that has some people trying to define who you are, but this is the kind of defiant track that simply doesn’t care what others think. ”
“Leroy From The North gives us a track that feels a bit like sitting on a bar stool and having a beer while listening to your buddy tell you about the girl he just met. You could call this Southern Rock or Americana as it has both Petty and Sturgill vibes for sure. Easy to listen to and find your own emotional relevance ‘Push’ is a track I will be adding to several of my personal playlists. ”
“This track from Social Drag feels a bit like a 90s throwback. Could have been released then as Country with an edge, or a Sheryl Crow-esque track about the emotions of failed relationships, but that is not to say the single is dated. It’s not.
And while ‘Remind Me’ doesn’t quite fit the Outlaw or Americana sound of today’s Alt-Country, labels are not what good music is about anyway, and neither are timestamps. This track simply conveys the emotions it was intended with solid talent behind it so for me or anyone to place it in a strict category is a waste of time.
Listen and enjoy, or feel and wallow if you prefer, but either way the intent of the song was established and delivered, and in the the end ... that’s all that matters in the subjective world of expressive art. ”
“Devon Thompson has a unique and sultry vocal tone and this talented guitarists offers up a Rock vibe that is every bit as seductive as the vocal tone. This track is about unrequited love and the emotional pettiness of the one whose affection is unreturned. ‘Napoleon’ is infused with attitude and grit and the result is this timeless track that feels modern yet could have arrived from a number of musical decades. ”
“GAYLE has established her talented presence with a string of hits and her latest release, ‘Everybody Hates Me,’ is the next offering from this rising star. The energy is a bit tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic, though the emotions and vulnerability are also lurking there in the mix.
GAYLE has the ability to create entertaining and fun vibes while still coming with a bit of hard-edged truth to the lyrical content as well.”
“The Scarlett Opera has a contemporary Queen feel to them in, that they do the unexpected and do it quite well and with purpose. No one quit compares to Freddy Mercury, but the vocals here soar and certainly deliver their own brand of standout talent that sweeps the listener up and into the build of the track.
Slightly theatrical, boldly Rock & Roll this is a band to invest in early so you can tell all your friends you hard them before the world caught on. ”
“There is something about The Scarlett Opera that puts me in mind of Queen and while it is hard to pinpoint exactly, I think it is a bold uniqueness that simply feels like freedom. Freedom of convention, freedom rules, and freedom of spirit that can only come with you create art for yourself first and an audience second. ‘Big City Thing’ is a flamboyant celebration of artistic freedom that gets in your ears and then in your soul.
Rock and Roll with flair and verve and a total disregard for what anybody thinks about that.”
“It is never easy to see the postives after a break up but, ‘Rose Colored Glasses,’ from North Carolina indie-pop band The Collection hopes to change that. The single is the third single released from their new EP, How to Survive an Ending, due out on January 27, 2023. The track has a Folksy Pop vibe and is easy to fall in and connect emotionally. A track of uplifting energy and hope despite the end of the relationship. ”
“With a sound that reminded me of The Rolling Stones meets Coldplay, Bluphoria drops the energetic Alt-Rock track, ‘Set Me Up.’ The lyrical hook is one you will be singing along with after the first chorus and with every subsequent listen you give the track. The vocal energy and emotion shine and instill a sense of attachment that carried me forward for the duration of the track.
Can’t wait to hear more from Bluphoria as the sound and talent to keep building and carve a definite place in the Alt Pop musical landscape.”
“Punk Country? Yes it is, but there is nothing here that feels anything like the Corporate Mainstream Country most associate with Nashville. Instead Love Hounds, unleashes more of an Outlaw Country sound mixed with heavy Punk influence to give ‘Lazy Boy’ both an edge and a storytelling quality that lands in between genres. But make no mistake, this is not so much a niche type track as it is one that takes the best elements of various genres and turns them into a unique, but broad appeal.”
“I love the line ... All my friends are starting families while I am starting therapy and that encapsulates the meaning of this song very well. An emotive performance about feeling like time and life is passing you by while you are still trying to carve your place out in the world. There are Pop sensibilities but also a deep emotion songwriter vibe that adds an extra punch here.
Kelaska is a talent to keep an eye on and ‘autopilot’ is the kind of timeless track that we will all be listening to for decades to come. ”
“Don’t Sleep, Repeat” has a smooth yet energetic delivery. 44phantom and Machin Gun Kelly gives us a pop meets rock love track. They explain their emotions when it comes to relationships but bring engagement to anyone listening.”
