GRAACE’s talent is evident in every word of these lyrics, and every syllable of this performance.”
“Music is a great tool for turning around a bad mood, and ‘Bucket Hat’ from Sydney Lauren is a song all about turning your mindset around and finding a groove that makes you feel better.

“Faded Rose delivers a sound that falls somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Maranda Lambert. Perhaps a touch more commercial than Lucinda, but still with that jaded and ticked off attitude. Faded Rose is not quite as commercial as Lambert, but still possesses that same strong feminine determination that has made Miranda a star. ‘Judgement Day’ is a well-written track with emotion and musical punch to make you feel it deep in your bones.”
“This is a track that you find yourself clapping and singing along in a happy place. Puffhost new single “Children” talks about despite being adults we all still carry our inner kid with us. Everything doesn’t have to be serious and we can pause and really enjoy things in life. Adulting may suck sometimes but we must remember we all are just children and we still must live and enjoy life. ”
“There’s good and there’s bad. Some people have to decide which part of them they want to listen to. The Astronomers new single “Bad Type” is pointing out the things people tend to do wrong without really knowing they are doing it. Lies or stretching the truth can make someone bad when it comes to feelings. The song overall has a nice tempo and ends with a powerful outro. ”
“Finding your personal ‘Okay’ in the face of turmoil is never easy, but sometimes trying is all we can do, becasur hte ugly truth is .... not everything is magically made better by time, medicine, or anything else. Anna Dellaria captures this with a delicate and haunting beauty with her tender and talented vocal performance. The track lifts and soars and dips and dives as does our lives and this track feels much like the ride we call life.”

’Hurt Like That’ is yet another feather in her quiver of talented tracks and both the performance and the writing sparkle here. Give this track a listen, then take a deep dive into Tarver’s library and discover the wonders that awaits you.”
“Fans of Jason Isbell and Phoebe Bridgers, will find it easy to connect to Suitcase Souls and their new single, ‘Nashville October.’
Deferring to the band here is what they say of the track ... “‘Nashville October’ is the smoke smell in your jacket from last night’s backyard hang, the photos in your camera roll of a selfie that *barely* fit everyone, the feeling of letting go of a past season to grab hold of right now and living in the moment.”
The track does have that worn nostalgic feel that makes our memories both fuzzy and acute and in that the emotions is easy to find and feel. ”

“What do I have to do to get deep? Lana Love’s new single “In Too Deep” is about her trying to assume what the answers to her questions are based off movement.

The guitar strings create an emotion vibe that pulls you in and makes you truly feel and visualize the song.”

I do hail from Texas originally so the Lone Star State has a soft spot in my heart, but I don’t care where you ‘re from, this is the kind of soulful, smooth song that speaks straight to the emotions. Timeless yet contemporary as well, ‘Girl From The Valley,’ simply feels right from the very first note. Can’t wait to hear more music from the talented Edwards.”
“There is a heartfelt beauty to Jeffrey James’ track, ‘In The Back Of My Mind.’
Speaking on the inspiration that led to the track, Jeffrey says, ‘For better for worse, the people we chose to pair up with forever impact who we are moving forward. There are a small handful of women I’ve dated that will always hold a place in my heart. It’s not love. It’s a bond and an influence that I’ll forever be grateful for.’
I felt this sentiment and connected tom the motion of the track and that is what good music is all about. ”

He tells his truth in his new single “Co Defendant”. You often don’t know who is going to ride with you, hold you down, stand beside you but most importantly tell the truth.”
“Its always pleasant to hear a good RnB song. Mar-q’s new single “Ride 4 U” is about discovering who is loyal to you and appreciating them. It recognizes loving the people who love you and recaps the good things they have done. This is a soulful visual of Bonnie and Clyde. ”
“Sydney Riley packs in both passion and attitude in this track. The delivery hints at a campiness, but the sound never begins to feel overtly theatrical, simply deliberate. A track that calls on the supernatural vibes only nature can provide in setting mood and intent, this song is hard to pin down genre-wise as it offers a rock edge, a folk sensibility, and a pop energy to wind feeling like vintage Joan Jett blended with the softer side of Stevie Nicks.”
