Eunice Janine x Tommy Will - Lies [Review]

March 16, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music, Commercial, Neo-Soul

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“We all are tired of lies but love makes it hard to control. Eunice and Tommy deliver a seductive song about making choices.The song displays everything that people experience when it comes to the truth and the lie. The ending is delivered from a poetic stance but you feel the emotional connection overall. ”

    JUSTY - Rinse, Repeat, Regress [Review]

    March 08, 2021 by Kreadiv Kesh in Neo-Soul, R&B

    Rating: 5 out of 5

    “Sometimes you have to allow yourself to relax and feel the melody. Rinse,Repeat, Regress is self care delivered in a song. It speaks on opening yourself to others once you learn to love yourself first. Justy is a poetic artist with a poignant piece of advice “When I love myself again, I could love again.””
    — Kreadiv Kesh (LA On Lock Blogger)

    Rinse, Repeat, Regress touches on falling in love with one's self and the routine of practicing self love while accepting loss. Engineered by: Ryan Pearson Written by: Shantel Justina Rowe Produced by: Pieper Beats

      Rating: 5 out of 5

      “It’s Black History Month and Ashleigh Bankx highlights black love. Ashleigh Bankx delivers artistry in a poetic visual for her new single ‘Angel’. She highlights black love and the essence of being there for someone.

      Ashleigh says: “‘Angel’ is about self-liberation, understanding and valuing yourself through past experiences with relationships and society. The song is about black love and centers around the concept of self-love, self-confidence, self-pride and the unity of and journey between two lovers.”

        Yoji - If I Had Only Known [Review]

        February 12, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Soul, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The soft and smooth vocal build kept me on the hook early on as Yoji built into the emotion of this soulful ballad. The gift of hindsight would be nice, and sometimes all we can do is trust that good things are coming, but this track offers a sweet refrain for those thankful of where they are now. ”

          Dominique Fils-Aimé - Mind Made Up [Review}

          February 11, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Soul, R&B

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “With a hint of Blues and a whole lot of soul, Dominique Fils-Aimé definitely has her ‘Mind Made Up,’ and after you listen to this talented vocalists your mind will be made up as well.

          This affirmative build and progression simply sweeps up the musical soul and carries it forward along with the track making it impossible not to close your eyes and lose yourself in the music for a few minutes.”

              “Osé’s new single ‘Do No More’ is about being in love but running to the end of the emotional tunnel. As the instruments are played in the background she takes her time to deliver an emotional yet contemporary R&B song. This song is about trust, lies, and feelings.”

                Jamie Grey - Christmas In Our Hometown [Premiere Review]

                “The holidays are filled with love and gatherings but there is no place like home. Jamie Grey’s ‘Christmas In Our Hometown’ is about memories and experiencing Christmas at home. The melody is a guitar meets bell in a smooth relaxed delivery. This would be a perfect song for any Christmas movie.

                Jamie says: “I tried to just be honest and write about what the lead up to Christmas rather than the actual day always felt like to me being from our little town of Redcar. We kind of have a strip of pubs and bars in the town centre, which practically the whole town comes out to from around the 21st of December up until Boxing Day. I always remembered coming back from London and so looking forward to seeing old friends and even acquaintances that I’d only see once a year. ”

                  “Chris Divine’s new song ‘Don’t Let Up’ was inspire by Tupac’s ‘Brenda’s Got A Baby’. The song serves as motivation for women to keep their head up even when they are tired. Sometimes unplanned motherhood strengthens women when they least expect it. Shot in Black and White the aesthetics is to show emotion and that there is a such thing as having a family and love.”

                    “Tell someone they can’t and they do one of two things — quit — or work harder to prove their doubters wrong.

                    Sjr has obviously taken the latter path and honed his craft until it was razor sharp. The flow on ‘Said I Couldn’t’ comes steady and smooth like a Hip-Hop/Soul blend that conveys just the right passion and emotion without allowing the production to get in the way.”

                      “A sweet tender love song, not about the euphoria of falling in love, but rather the slow steady burn of a growing love. This track was written as a 10th Anniversary gift from Timothy Ray to his wife.

                      ’Dancing In The Kitchen’ captures the devotion and understanding that only comes with time and that bond of sharing everyday life. And this is a track that couples can certainly join hands and dance together in the kitchen.”

Even when you are on the run from your emotions its ok to escape to your own place. The finger snapping draws in the melody even more.”

                            “This year has been filled with many deaths and tears. Veldor’s new single ‘Bat Shit Crazy’ pretty much sums the year up. He sings about living right, being alive and getting through the bad days. Some people get lost in their pain and discover their own gate way to take the pain away. This may cause pain to others as they drift away to the other side.”

                              Jesse Gold - One in a Million [Review]

                              September 16, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Neo-Soul, Indie Pop, Contemporary R&B

                              “Expressing your feelings is never easy and quite often we turn to liquid courage to speak our heart. ‘One in a Million’ is a Pop-ish, R&B track about two lovers reluctant to admit they are falling for one another in a lasting kind of way. Jesse Gold shines here as does his duet partner and the two voices combine to keep the listener emotionally invested.”

                                Gabrielle Current - Undercover [Review]

                                “Smooth and sultry, this Jazz infused R&B track by Gabrielle Current is pure unadulterated emotion, which is ironic given that the lyrics are all about going ‘Undercover’ to protect your emotions from the dangers of falling in love.

                                The vocal delivery is sensual and soft ... but so very mesmerizing, and that steady beat backing a piano heavy melody keeps the listener under the spell of the music.”

                                  “Sy Sylvers has an alluring vocal tone that simply invites you in at the first note, and here that comes with a melodic groove and rhythm that wraps around you like a warm blanket on a cold night. This combination has blissful affect that draws you in close and keeps you there in the tranquil bosom of her vocal embrace.”

                                    “Delivering an uplifting message with a chorus from John Legend and a Hip-Hop flow from Tay Da Prince, this track is pure inspiration and positive vibes.

                                    The video comes with an All-Star cast and the gospel vibe to the track does not comes at the sacrifice of a rich beat and energetic performance. Get on board with this project and do something positive today, be it a donation, a helping hand, or simply a kind smile towards another. ”

                                      “Sweet, smooth Soul. Musically, vocally, and lyrically this track simply is salve for a chapped and scraped world.

                                      I believe in this message, and I believe in the talent unfurling it here. Grab the one you love and slow dance, or hug your neighbor (Metaphorically since maintaining social distance is key right now) and sing along. ‘As Far As We Know’ offers the best of humanity in sound and message. ”

                                        “A little Soul, A dash of Funk, sprinkled over some old school Gospel Blues and you have a good idea of the energy behind Sargent X Comrade’s single, ‘Take ME Higher (Who Let The Devil In).’

                                        Part of an album dropping June 20th, this is one of those tracks that sweeps you up in tone and vibe and lyrically is rather simple. Still, you can’t help but go along for the ride as you move to the beat and the rhythm. This is a song you feel as much as hear.”
