“Grace Weber is a bad ass. A sultry vocalist, a talented songwriter, and a strong-willed soul willing to unflinchingly speak her mind. IF that doesn’t make a person a bad ass, I don’t know what does.
’Sideways’ is a slow tempo track about taking back your confidence and power. The track has a definite R&B groove and a soulful vibe but still has a bit of Pop sensibilities underneath all of that. ”
“A love song about finding the courage to take that risk and jump from a long time friendship, to something more. Dan DeCristofaro and Bianca Sings deliver ‘Give Me Your Love’ with Soul and passion and the track comes alive with an undeniable energy.
Love is tricky, and sometimes it is a slow burn that blooms from the fruits of friendship, but as we all know it is never easy to escape the friend zone. Sometimes, that leap is exactly what you need. This is the love song for that course of action! ”
“Music is a form of art and AFIKA is a true artist. He guides us into his new song ‘Guide Me Home’ with the vocals on Totem in a revelation of peace. For the lost souls who walk in the middle of nowhere not sure what direction to follow this will not only move your soul but save it with its lyricism”
“Landing somewhere between Contemporary R&B and a more commercial Pop groove, ‘after mdnight’ is about wanting to be more than an after midnight booty call.
The track brings a smooth easy groove that is easy to fall into and sing along with, though there is also a sensual vibe like driving alone at tight on a rain darkened stretch of road while your mind runs away to someplace else. ”
“The unique timbre to LU KALA’s vocals are the first thing I noticed on the track. Then the well-wriiten lyrics captured my attention. ‘Want You’ is a track about a relationship not delivering what she needs, and yet the allure and desire is still, illogically present. The performance sells the emotion, while the beat and melody offer an energetic vibe giving this track a well-balanced allure of its own.”
“Latir has given us a uniquely modern throwback and yes, I am aware those words do not belong together in most cases, but ‘Wallflower’ is not most cases.
With a smooth vocal style that feels like an ode to the crooners of old, and a beat that ranges from almost Latin to Do-Wop to Hip-Hip — with even a splash of EDM dynamics the track really does bring a wealth of sounds and styles together.
Perhaps the most important element is that in the video and the sound it is clear that everyone involved is having a good time and this in turn makes it a fun watch and listen for us. ”
“Perhaps on another day, in a another moment in history, this track would not bring the relevance it does today. But hey, we all need a bit of cheer and hope right about now. And in the words of Alanis ... Isn’t it ironic, that it comes from a band called Federal Av?
Nevertheless, feast your ears and smiles on this soulful, uplifting track and forget about toilet paper shortages, cancellations, and the blight that has set all of the chaos into motion.
Go ahead, close your eyes and enjoy some fun music for a few minutes, because this crazy world is going to keep spinning faster and faster either way.”
“Producer NugLife is adept and bring interesting collaborations, but ‘All I Wanna Do’ is different in that it is a solo effort. Featuring his talents both on production and vocals, NugLife takes you into the world of the stoner producer and his perspectives.
With a touch of the psychedelic in the sound and vibe, this track feels like a nice chill trip into the clouds. ”
“The taste of regret is never an easy one to swallow and Zali conjured the memories of that flavor with ‘That Girl.’ Soulful Pop is the sound here as the track delivers attitude from the perspective of the one you let go, and now find yourself wishing you didn’t.
This is a fun song that should resonate for those on both sides of the emotional spectrum because you relate if you are the one who screwed up, or are the one who can hold your head high in knowing your ex now regrets all of their mistakes. ”
“There are certain artists that simply know how to capture their audience and Kubla instantly hit me as that kind of artist.
Musically and vocally this track just feels a bit different somehow. Soulful with smooth guitar throughout, this track feels like Prince and John Mayer came together in one glorious act of musical enlightenment.
Lyrically, the track did not speak to me quite on that same level and yet I stayed captivated by the performance. And that, is the magic of talent that elevates each song they deliver.”
“Ziva will no doubt draw comparisons to Billie Eilish and while there are definite similarities between the artists, the teenage Ziva is a unique talent all on her own right.
This track is smooth and soulful, with a dark emotional thread carrying it to the end. The horn delivered a nice touch to the melody and brought with it just enough uptempo and funk to take this single to another level.
I can’t wait to hear more from this rising talented singer/songwriter as she moved forward with what should be a long career given her obvious talents.”
“I dig this old-school funk for both its simple, straightforward beat and melody, and the subtle complexity behind the lyrics.
This is the kind of song you can groove on over and over again, while diving deeper and deeper into the lyrical meaning. ”
“Smooth and easy. Old school soul with a hint of R&B. A track to sip a glass of wine and contemplate everything that once was, and what might still be.”
“Micayla De Ette kicks this off with powerful vocals that call and plead and express every artist’s desire to ‘Write A Song’ that will change the world.
Been a minute since I’ve heard from Flavor Flav, but his flow is a perfect juxtaposition here, and this track is engaging all the way through.”
“Bold vocals, that remind of Winehouse, and a melody that is both modern and darkly retro, drive this track. Lyrically the single might not offer as much as some other songs, but the magic of the performance is that it doesn’t need to be, in order to evoke a strong emotional reaction. ”
“A haunting reminder we can’t have it all, this track is delivered in a soulful flow that falls somewhere between R&B and Hip-hop.
Sometimes you have to leave something or someone behind to chase a dream, but such sacrifice does not come without emotional turmoil and you can feel that in every line. ”
“Dropping a smooth and classic sound, Nakfa bends genres with this Hip-Hop old school 90s R&B vibe.
’Sera’ is a track that took me a bit to connect to lyrically, but from the start I felt the groove behind this single.”
“Vocals that feel raw and vulnerable highlight the impact of the well-written lyrics on this track. But do not dismiss the dark humor of the video which makes its point visually as well. ”
“Soulful introspective that is made all the more touching by Saul Rivers smooth vocals.
’Change’ is a single that delivers pop style sensibilities, without sacrificing poignancy and emotional depth.”
“With soulful power, Yvette Nacer delivers the grains of emotional truth that provide solid ground for this single. Metaphorical ‘Quicksand’ is something we all slip into from time to time, and this track captures that sinking feeling while also lifting us up with the power of determination.”
