The songwriting and the vocals across this project are out of this world. Jennifer Valdez seems born to do this in the way that so many of the greats were. This album is a testament to the future of rock, and to heartfelt artistry as a means for making real music that connects and hits with impact.
Footprints seeks to and succeeds in energizing and inspiring its listeners. That lightly uplifting groove combined with this smart and empowering lyrical performance works beautifully. A definite must for the coming months.
A multi-instrumentalist, a creative composer by nature – experience and professionalism meet with a sheer passion for and understanding of music, and that makes these songs a total pleasure to experience.
There’s a pulse about it all, a living energy that connects in a powerful way. You recognise the traits of the piece, the notes and the pauses, the quiet and the loud instances of expression.
Fusing a powerful pop-rock backdrop with a world-inspired vocal chorus and an edge of hip hop, Never Give Up from Nurtuan is a hard-hitting and fairly unforgettable new single.
Much more than a simple talk about a popular recreational plant, The Cannabis Conversation tackles the real issues and potential benefits of a global cannabis industry, and it does so in a consistently interesting way. You learn a lot while you listen, and that’s incredibly valuable and important right now.
The bars hold nothing back, and the flow never lets up until it’s all over and done with – even then you get a sense that the passion and motivation at the heart of the track is somewhat unstoppable.
Third Time Luckie are quick to impress with this latest single. A crisp & clean finish allows a heartfelt punk-pop single to shine with entrancing brightness. Love & Violence is a well-written anthem of a tune that benefits in this case from superb use of contrast & professionally flawless production.
Consider the lyrics and the progression of the story as you listen, let nostalgia and honesty intertwine and overwhelm, and that’s where you find the sweet spot in which a song like this appears inescapably on point. Absolutely worth a listen at volume for rock and punk fans past and present.
Zizzo World’s experience and awareness as a musician shine throughout the release. The riffs, the vocal melody, the lyrics – there’s professionalism and creativity intertwined at every step, and always with an essential wave of passion running through everything.
The Zzips are onto something special with their sound right now. Something To Break My Fall is a song that connects fairly quickly, and continues to strengthen those threads between the listener and the artist throughout the remainder of the experience.
