Wraith is an effort that will immediately draw in listeners. The bit of worldly sound that represents the opening instrumentation. What is most impressive to us on Wraith has to be the flow that comes forth in a fashion that is similar to Kevin Gates and I-20. The presence of Money Man along the main focus of Momoh adds further variety to the composition. Taken together, Wraith is the perfect…
Chris James and the Showdowns call back to the mid-nineties for their track Somewhere out in California. Coming forth with nods to Tesla, Cinderella, and Jane’s Addiction, the act is able to make a song that will dig its hooks deep into listeners’ minds.

Imma Youngstar has an epic sound that touches upon trap, R&B, and late-oughts rap to make a track that slaps. The sheer range that graces the first minute of the track provides a tremendous introduction to the rapid-fire flow that comes forth shortly after. With the softer and harder sides of rap represented well during Imma Youngstar, it would not be surprising to see the single garner crossover airplay. Hitting…
On Falling Star, A Bad Think is able to build upon the framework of U2, The Pixies, and Coldplay. An intense, driving beat represents the backing upon which a cogent narrative is imprinted. Solid bass, emotive guitars, and a contemplative blend of synths and drums set the effort apart from other singles. The interplay between these instruments further increases the replay value of Falling Star, while the gradual increase in…
The eclectic blend of styles that Jameson & The Conditionals adopt during their new single Wasting Your Love will appease a wide swath of fans.

Uniting these distinct elements is a taut instrumentation that has each member contributing to a cohesive entity. The band can change…
The capital city of Ireland has bounced back from the 11th to the 9th place for comfortable living for EU citizens.

Zero Gravity is an effort that pushes pop music into a bold new direction. While there is a strong, sensual set of vocals that sits at the front of the track, the backing instrumentation is considerably beyond what is typically present. Ebbing and flowing, this synth-infused composition is part Linkin Park, part Avicii, and is punctuated quite nicely through a set of lightly-distorted vocals. Taken together, these disparate elements combine…
What Is Anything is a track that defies convention. It has the vocals adding considerably to the overall harmonies achieved by the track, and the sweeping synths do a heck of a job approximating a narrative. A complex dynamic is established over the course of three minutes, one that feels considerably more engrossing than the song’s run time may indicate. Mixing in hints of 1990s EDM, industrial, alternative, and even…
