Vanessa M. Chattman - Midnight Ivory
Hip Hop/Rap
TX, US



Overall Impression: On "Midnight Ivory," producer Vanessa M Chattman crafts a chilling fusion of classical drama and hardcore realism. Cold, ostinato piano figures and soaring minor-key strings weave a sinister, horror-score atmosphere over aggressive sub-bass and sharp drill percussion. Regal yet thoroughly haunting, the track seamlessly bridges orchestral elegance with raw, late-night tension. With its menacing beat design and ominous vibe, Vanessa M Chattman’s “Midnight Ivory” is streaming now on all platforms, and is tailor-made for spooky Halloween horror playlists.

Strongest Point(s): Outstanding production and a great sounding mix. Excellent clarity and tonal balance, despite a somewhat busy in spots, multi-layered arrangement. Nice intro, really sets the tone and atmosphere. Fantastic use of space and dynamics throughout, terrific buildup and climax at the end of the piece. Drums hit hard when they enter, great beat design. Kick is slamming, claps are crisp, and the hats are rapid-fire. 808s slide comfortably beneath the mix, serving as a solid foundation for the other synth work. Love the sampled drum kit fills, they contribute a terrific old school flavor. Vocal shout snippets add a rhythmic human element as well. Overall, this is an incredibly well-crafted track that is built from the ground up with artistic intent and creative design. It does a great job of establishing a horror vibe, and would have definite sync opportunities as well as seasonal playlist placements. Stellar work, all around!

Center Stage Artist - Perico Hernandez

Image
Jose Caridad Hernandez , better known as “Perico”, is a sonero/percussionist/composer/songwriter who creates “organic  cuban music.” Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Perico is the second to the youngest of twelve siblings and the only one who became a musician. Perico began his musical training as a young boy in Havana.  He watched the street rumberos creating amazing rhythms on the “tumbadoras” (congas), and after watching Patato Valdez play congas on a TV show, Perico decided that’s what he wanted to do. Perico gradually learned from the “rumberos” and at age 14 became the conguero for a neighborhood group, Conjunto Monte Carlo. He was eventually recruited to play with the popular Conjunto Casino. Regarding his nickname Perico, he tells the story that as a kid he walked around the neighborhood with an elderly man called “Perico.” Pretty soon the neighbors started saying “Here come Perico y Periquito.” Perico has said “Maybe the name was meant to be because I’m now a sonero and...

More On PopScore - How It Works

Image
After two weeks of PopScore we're thrilled with how much interest it has generated. We have awarded hundreds of thousand of Play Credits and have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. There have also been a fair number of questions. Three recurring questions that we will try and answer below are: - How is the PopScore calculated? - What’s a good PopScore? - How can I improve my PopScore? So here's the lowdown: How is the PopSc ore calculated? As some of you probably know, each time we play your song to one of Jango's 7 Million listeners we ask them to rate your song. We do this through the use of a pop up window (the Make’m or Break ‘em overlay). When listening to your song the listener can give a thumbs up, thumbs down, become your fan, leave a comment and more. We enter all these listener reactions into a formula to determine which songs, and therefore which bands, are most popular with our listeners. In simple terms the PopScore is a ratio computed by total ...

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool

Image
Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool Metal, Punk, Hardcore Florida, United States Overall Impression: "What I Say is Cool" is an exciting release from the vault of Florida based punk rockers, Johnny Void and The Others. With the lineup of Johnny Void (guitar/vox), Michael Blackford (bass), and Jason Burrows (drums), the band recorded this track in January 1996 at L N G Studios in Merrit Island, FL. This track wastes no time in getting down to business, immediately hitting the listener with the full force of distorted guitar, frenetic drumming and a screaming, guttural vocal delivery through the verse, before landing on the more melodic titular hook of "What I say is cool." A quick modulation serves as a bridge, before returning to the main riff and finishing out this brief but wild ride. Punk rock aficionados should be on the lookout for not one, but two musical anthologies from Johnny Void and The Others, released on Rakka Rakka R...
