Muva Dame - Tell Me Alternative, Electronica NY, United States Overall Impression: Artfully channeling the ambivalence of a broken relationship, Muva Dame's Tell Me captures the struggles of interpersonal drama with skill and grace.  Torn between letting go and taking advantage of what's available, Tell Me outlines the way we fall back into arms that we know can't hold us, and the talents of Muva Dame deliver the message with passionate and breathtaking vocals and a smooth track that'll have you coming back for more. Strongest Point(s): Tell Me has a flawless mix - the vocals are bright and sparkling, and every bit of the instrumental supports the voice perfectly.  The beat hits hard, and keeps the energy moving smoothly.  These harmonies are stellar, and the hooks are plentiful and powerful.  Somehow relaxing and hype at the same time, this track is solid gold.  Well done!

Saint Mars - Help Alternative/Alt. Rock, Pop United Kingdom Overall Impression: Help is a powerful breakthrough song, performed masterfully by Saint Mars. The lyrics paint a picture of a harmful situation that pushes the subject to his breaking point, then realizes they are strong enough to escape and thrive. The lyrics are supported by a very talented voice, who uses his range to his benefit, and terrific instrumentals, all mixed and balanced beautifully. The feel of the song is passionate, and the flow always moves forward, supported by a groovy syncopated rhythm that pushes all the way to the end. Overall killer job by Saint Mars. Strongest Point(s): The professionalism and musicality is astoundingly displayed in Help. The blend and balance was pleasing, hitting all the check marks the whole song. From the beginning, I was bobbing my head, and I was singing along by the second chorus. The beat is relentless, keeping the feel optimistic and fighting through...

Lil Woody - Make Way Hip Hop/Rap, R&B GA, United States

SoulBeast - Betrayed Metal, Classic Metal, Hard Rock OH, United States Overall Impression: SoulBeast comes out swinging with their intensely driven and definitively metallic song Betrayed.  With a fast and crunchy sound well informed by the great metal acts of yesteryear, the band delivers a satisfyingly heavy reflection on the sensation of misplaced faith - and does so with skill and passion. Betrayed 's lyrics run the gamut of self-consuming emotional turmoil that comes with treachery, and even goes so far as to address the solution to such self-consumption.  Forgive the betrayer for your own sake, but never let yourself forget what they've done. Strongest Point(s): SoulBeast has really cohesive sound!  Betrayed 's mix is really solid and fully highlights the individual pieces of the band's overall sound - and I'm really digging every bit of it.  The lead vocals are really great for this style, and I love the skill of the guitar solo at 3...

Drobinko - Heart Me Rock, Indie NY, United States Overall Impression: Drobinko is combining 2000's pop-punk with a modern Electro-feel. This combination is one of brilliance in Heart Me, with a fresh unique sound, and an all around great song. Drobinko had me dancing the whole song, and I was singing along by the second chorus. Along with that the mix is well balanced, along with the combination of electric and acoustic sounds and instruments, and the added stereo effects are a wonderful sprinkle on top. The form of the song is easy to follow, and the it has a feeling of being projected forward the whole time, providing a sense of moving on.  Strongest Point(s): The cohesiveness of Drobinko is remarkable. All of the musicians are masters of their instrument and voice, and their musicianship and ability to play together is phenomenal. The mix is so strong and well done, it hits all the marks as a listener, engaging the entire time, and begging to be sung alon...

Bobby Newman - Almost Mine Blues, Rock TN, United States Overall Impression:   The intimate fiddle claims the opening, cementing the song's subtle emotional pull - very memorable. The acoustic guitar performance provides the backbone to the track with Bobby Newman's powerful yet soothing voice giving the tune another dimension. The choice of tempo also lends to that..... you know, that slow-burning Country/Americana kind.  The arrangement was well thought out as it was a warm audible change when the female vocal entered the song.  The mix between the two vocals lends itself to the heart and soul of the lyrics - two longing harmonies embodying bare emotion.  Musicianship seems to meld traditional, bluesy americana melodies with country elements for quite a beautiful song. Strongest Point(s):   Instrumentation, melody and lyric.  Nothing felt rushed, the listener was able to fully feel the weight of every note, emotion, and w...

UP (Urban Project) - Solid Heart Pop, Alt/Indie Germany Overall Impression: This is such a complex and masterfully crafted piece of music!  Urbanproject's Solid Heart is a white-knuckled journey through uncharted territory, utterly unique and filled with surprises.  The instrumentals are cleverly assembled, and the colors and tones you strike throughout the song are vibrant, dense, and brimming with intent. Solid Heart is evidence that solid musicianship and heart-felt songwriting can produce new and engrossing works of art! Strongest Point(s): Really great harmonic development - super strong bass part/tone! Loving the vocals as well.  Massive fan of the shift at 2:47.  What an incredible payoff, perfectly capitalizing on the tension and build up to that point with a super satisfying release.  There's so much genuinely exciting musicality here from the winding synth motifs to the unconventional harmonies and seemingly aleatoric fills - abso...

Sue Munns - Please Mr Rix Country, Folk, Easy listening Australia Singer/songwriter from  “The Edge” @Beacon in the West Australian Wheatbelt.  Isolation and an amazing diversity in the natural environment  nurture this songwriter, with good seasonal rains seeing her spending countless hours amongst the wildflowers, where many songs are born. Sue draws on the talent of daughter Amber  singing in her gorgeous  “Stevie Nicks” tones The most humbling experience has been the simple “thankyou” from a stranger who found solace and strength in her song. Tell us more about "Please Mr Rix" - It is a song about getting out of our comfort zone and the fear and discomfort this can create.  Based on the culmination of the end of school days and the immediate freedoms this allows,  how easy it is to make poor decisions. Hungrily awaiting “adulthood”, when it arrives it can be daunting. “Mr Rix” is everything that is familiar and safe. The namin...
