Jonathan Brenner – Show Me the Way to Get Back Home
“Brenner’s latest single stands out as hit that walks on the heritage line of 70s pop, country, folk and Americana. Exuberant and confident it will get you humming in no time just as it will stir up an appetite to hit the road in a classic large, blue Chevy.”

Alyssa Jacey – See Me Cry
“A straightforward, getting-over-the-past, electro-pop avowal with Alyssa throwing in some attitude. As she sets on a new course, she switches between mellow to raspy vocals (spiced up even with some hip-hop inspired verses) that proclaim loud and proud “Like a phoenix on the rise, gonna leave it all behind / You've seen me cry for the last time.””

Artist said about this song:
"See Me Cry is an empowerment song. I cried so much to my friends, family and in front of my (soon to be ex-husband) all the time because of how MISERABLE I was in my marriage. He constantly lied, manipulated, cheated, pretended/promised things would get better. And through years of self-work, therapy, after kicking him out and finding myself again, I reminded of how much stronger I am without him. How I would NEVER let any boy, any relationship, any situation ever make me cry again and this song represents finding that inner-strength and inner voice that reminds you that you ARE enough. And it references "all my girls" in the last chorus, bc w/o them, I wouldn't have gotten through these years of Hell. And the rap has 10 hidden innuendos that all are directed at my ex, but no one would know except him. It makes you feel like you want to dance, sing, rap, it's an uplifting, catchy melody and at the end of the song, you're in a, "I'm never going to fall for anyone's BS ever again!" Mood!"

Nickon Faith – The Floating World
“Here comes a fresh take on progressive house and trance that abounds in ecstatic melodies and a dreamy ambiance. A floating world indeed with evocative ambient soundscapes, exotic arpeggiators, lots of organic elements (including world percussion) that evolve and flow into one another in a captivating motion.”

House of Miagi – Too Late
“A smooth, feel-good fusion that combines Afro-beats, dancehall with R&B vocals and orchestration. The lyrics fit the mood perfectly and, in the artists’ own words – portray “a story about love, patience and the expectation that your words are enough without actions.””
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"The inspiration behind this song is one i am sure most people have experienced, its a story about love, patience and the expectation that your words are enough without actions. This is also very selfish, slightly toxic and unfair to the one that loves most."

Kayden McCarthy – Way U Luv U
“A delicious cocktail of good and pleasant music, which is necessary for all of us as a sip of fresh air. The song is quite rhythmic and juicy! It performs its main function well - to raise your mood and convey you warm, sound vibrations. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Вкусный коктейль доброй и приятной музыки, которая необходима всем нам как глоток свежего воздуха. Песня достаточно ритмичная и сочная! Она хорошо выполняет свою основную функцию — поднять ваше настроение и передать вам тёплые, звуковые вибрации.”
-Nagamag.com
This song mixes electronic influenced pop with an upbeat r&b vibe that's a great track for sitting around the pool during summer time. It's high vibes, good energy, takes you to a happy place and has a great build up from start to finish.

purpl – In The Night
“The performer -purpl- turned out to create a very good, enveloping atmosphere of Chillwave, in which an emotional mood is professionally presented, and a kaleidoscope of the variety of sound shades amazes with its diversity. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“У исполнительницы -purpl- получилось создать очень хорошую, обволакивающую атмосферу Chillwave, в которой профессионально преподнесён эмоциональный настрой, а калейдоскоп разнообразия звуковых оттенков поражает своим разнообразием.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"'In the night' came together over a long period of time, I originally just wrote the verse, then months later wrote the chorus and it became an ethereal 'drive'-like synthwave tune. This is the song you play when your driving down the motorway in the middle of the night. Its about reflecting on past pain and the relief you feel when you finally let go of the resentment."

Nanuk – Down low
“The memorable melodic passages of the acoustic guitar and the vocal data of the performer completely and completely dominate the musical space surrounding on all sides, thereby highlighting this composition against the background of others as part of the Folk genre. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Запоминающиеся мелодичные пассажи акустической гитары и вокальные данные исполнителя целиком и полностью доминируют в окружающем со всех сторон музыкальном пространстве, тем самым выделяя эту композицию на фоне других в рамках жанра Folk. ”

As the world around seems to be closing in
At times it can feel like your drowning in a sea of doubt. This song is about how we cope with being overwhelmed, and try to hide behind behind the answer “I’m fine” when someone asks “hope your well”.

Bastien Keb – Lucky (Oldest Grave)
“Sometimes music can take away all the weights that are constantly pulling you down. Keb sings in the calmest way and the soft keys slowly follow his lyrics. The result is an artist fusion of Funk with Downtempo, interesting enough to listen carefully!”
-Nagamag.com
Whereas Bastien Keb' previous single ’Street Clams’ nodded to Keb’s more Madlib-inspired psych-funk side, ‘Lucky (Oldest Grave)’ is a double-shot at the end the bar; piano, horns, and emotional vocals that take him into reflective territory a la WHY? or Bon Iver.
It’s a testament to the depth of Keb’s style on his upcoming third album 'The Killing of Eugene Peeps' is a super-scope work of of downbeat anti-ballads, cinematic instrumentals, psychedelic-folk and warped soliloquies.

Kinoco – Show Me
“The real emotional cascade of beautiful and charming sound harmony. The Chillwave melody leaves a pleasant mark in our minds, and the light shade of Dream Pop creates a unique and original atmosphere of immersion. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Настоящий эмоциональный каскад прекрасных и очаровательных звуковых гармоний. Мелодия Chillwave оставляет приятный след в нашем сознании, а лёгкий оттенок Dream Pop создаёт неповторимую и оригинальную атмосферу погружения.”
-Nagamag.com
A slow-burning jam about wanting to escape with your SO. The production for this track is largely based on live-recorded session musicians, more mellow compared to Kinoco’s usual electronic sound. Picture yourself riding down the coast or floating in an ocean of stars.

“Very sincere and honest work, it immediately feels that they approached with the whole soul to create this track. Decent work in the Latin Pop genre, such creativity can and should be discovered for yourself constantly and listen to at any time of the day and night! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
