Zali - That Girl [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“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. ”

Kubla - Changes [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“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.”

CANTRELL - Gold Roses (Freestyle) [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out 5

“ You have to give people their roses while they are still alive. In ‘Gold Roses’ Cantrell not only talks about his journey but the influences he has passed along the way. In this visual he uses the simple poster board to display a time line that led to his success. ‘Gold Roses’ because good or bad every year was golden. ”
