edbl - Table for Two [Review]

August 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This is a fun, jazzy track with a beat that thumbs like your heartbeat giving it a natural, hip-hop groove that is hard not to move in rhythm with.

The vocal flow is both sweet and sexy at the same time, and lyrically it puts a new spin on being happy in love.”

    Carlos Bryant - Friends (feat. Don Quez) [Review]

    August 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “A dark, almost ethereal, melody and beat set the tone for a set of lyrics that come at you with a steady and emotional flow. The track unfolds like inner dialogue for the first three minutes before morphing into a statement on coping with the world. Almost feels like two songs, but poignant all the way through. ”

      Cyrillic - Break My Heart [Review]

      August 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in music, EDM

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “Dance with reckless abandon to this track about ... reckless abandon.

      ’Break My Heart’ is a single explaining why we sometimes rush in headfirst to a situation we know will not end well. Why? Because sometimes you just have to. ”

        PaPa Shiraz & Bella Calypso - Summer Doesn't Have to End [Review]

        August 11, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Autotune

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The last of the carefree days under the sun are always a bit sad. ‘Summer Doesn’t Have to End’ takes that emotion and infuses it into a dark, melancholy melody that blends perfectly with two sets of vocals.

        The result is an expression of hope that a summer fling can carry on into the fall, though in the end that simply feels like something we tell ourselves to make saying goodbye easier to take.”

          “Not all relationships are equal, and with a sound that tips a hat back to Michael Jackson at times, ‘777’ also infuses a modern spin to loving someone far more than they are likely to ever love you. ”

            “A nice beat and melody accompany this song that feels likes the self-affirmation that we all need to hear and remind ourselves of from time to time.

            None of us have all the ‘Answers,’ but a single like this lets us know that’s okay, because there is time to figure it out.”

              “The unique vocal tone caught my ear straight away and led me listen closer to the melody which dips into a reggae vibe to bring a nice a groove. The lyrics empower everybody emerging on the other side of a necessary breakup.”

                  “Forget Netflix — what you need is some Roosle and chill.

                  ’Sundays in Orbit’ is an instrumental that brings a kick-back-with-your-feet-up slow vibe, that says ... I got all that I need right this moment, and now I’m gonna sit back and enjoy it.”

                                  SYORA - Anchorite [Music Video Review]

                                  “SYORA brings a vintage hard rock sound with ‘Anchorite,’ and it is the kind of sound you don’t much hear anymore unless you go looking and that is a shame. Interestingly enough, the video showcases a man looking for something he thinks he can never find again.

                                  Both the song and the video are captivating in that something bad is going to happen kind of way. The foreboding sense of doom is captivating and the true rock sound is the perfect vehicle for such a beast. ”

                                    “The chorus carries a fun rhythm that hints at Celtic influences. The vocals are steady and engaging with an edge of danger which adds to the catchy hook to this single.”

                                      “Sassy and fun. An anthem for all the bold ladies out there.

                                      Belted out with old school soul, ‘I Gotta Know’ is a take charge ode to approaching the sexiest man in the room. And Violet LaVelle does it with style.”

                                        “Driven by an inescapable beat, and funk melody, ‘Keep It Moving’ will do exactly that. The vocal play is mostly inconsequential here, but it is enough to keep you engaged and grooving along to the ever-changing beats.”
