SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ Peter Macho - Very Christmas



radioairplay.com independent new music



Peter Macho - Very Christmas
Rock, Country Rock, Pop
VΓ€xjΓΆ, Sweden




Overall Impression: I think we all have a special place in our hearts when it comes to the Christmas song, you'd be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn't get that special festive tingle when one comes on, and whether you're even a fan of that very particular type of songwriting or not, it always seems to be able to magically get you in the mood for the season, and having listened to Peter Macho's wonderfully upbeat rocker "Very Christmas", I can say with authority that Peter has managed to capture the magic and sparkle of the time brilliantly. With its animated performances and undeniable catchiness, "Very Christmas" is one of those particular pieces of Christmas-inspired songwriting that has both the melody and sense of spirit needed to reach many a listener's hearts.


Strongest Point(s): The lyrics certainly manage to capture many of the distinct qualities associated with the festive period, and as a result, manage to instantly conjure up that special Christmas feeling effortlessly, combine this with the animated vocal performances and uptempo rhythm, and those energy levels are well and truly raised in no time. I certainly appreciate the attention to detail that's been applied to the arrangement, both filled with variety and blissfully free-flowing in nature, there are some fantastic elements here that heighten the effectiveness of the writing tenfold. For instance, take the way certain parts of the instrumentation are used to create some form of textural and timbral distinction between the song's various sections, some great examples of this would be how the overdriven guitar is used to contrast with the softer acoustic elements and the way the instrumentation is stripped back just before the chorus to allow for a greater sense of flamboyance to be achieved when it eventually kicks in. The writing, performances, and continually adapting nature of the arrangement are always serving up some new nuggets of interest for the listener, resulting in a hearty rock tune filled with personality.


Target Audience Appeal: This is definitely one for the Christmas rock fans and I'm sure it will appease many a Christmas song lover.


Artist target suggestions: Wizzard, Elton Jon, Paul McCartney, Slade, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, The Beach Boys, Boston, Pretenders, Bob Seger, The Kinks, George Harrison, Paul Simon, Traveling Wilburys,

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ David Chutby - A Furry Christmas (Sneaking Christmas Treats)



radioairplay.com independent new music



David Chutby - A Furry Christmas (Sneaking Christmas Treats)
Rock, Pop Rock, Country Rock
Utrecht, Netherlands




Overall Impression: Steeped in charm and utterly amiable, David Chutby's wonderfully upbeat "A Furry Christmas" manages to perfectly embody that special sense of magic and love that the festive period is so synonymous with. Arranged by Marin Kutnar, produced by Adam Fiasco (Who is also on Keyboard and drum duties), and sung by David himself, who also lends his deft guitar skills to the arrangement, "A Furry Christmas" is a thoroughly wholesome blend of affectionate lyrical themes, warm and welcoming performances, excitingly bouncy melodies, and energizing rhythms. "A Furry Christmas" quite simply serves as the perfect embodiment of what the festive season is all about with its lighthearted tone and big heart, and whether it be the fluid melodic phrasing from the string quartet, the texturally rich vocal layers, animated piano progressions, or rocking guitar elements, this is the type of Christmas tune that's just so easy to like and I'm sure many a listener will undoubtedly feel the same way.


Strongest Point(s): Any engaging Christmas tune needs a big heart at its core and the lyrical theme that David has chosen as his main inspiration will most definitely warm the hearts of many a dog lover. The fact that the lyrics are based on David's own friendship with his dog, a flat-coated retriever, helps give the song its deeply personable and relatable qualities, this in turn allows the song to really encapsulate those very distinctly special characteristics that help to make the Christmas period what it is. David's vocal presence definitely aids the lyrics' effectiveness and his warm timbral vocal qualities ensure the lyrics are injected with the necessary spirit and energy needed to further strengthen their appeal and sense of fun. It also helps that the arrangement is positively brimming with variety and inspired creativity, melodies bounce off one another with a fun sense of animation whilst the brilliantly diverse instrumentation is used to create a strong sense of forward momentum, this is achieved through the way in which the different sections of the instrumentation feed of each others dynamism and distinct tonal qualities, an element certainly further aided by the outstanding performances that drive them.


Target Audience Appeal: "A Furry Christmas" is a solid Christmas-infused pop rocker and can most definitely see it appealing to many a Christmas song lover.


Artist target suggestions: Michael Buble, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Rea, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Ava Max, Jamie Cullum, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, Shakin' Stevens, John Mellencamp

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ josephhosey - The Devil I Know



radioairplay.com independent new music



josephhosey - The Devil I Know
Country, Adult Contemporary, Country Rock
Ohio, United States




Overall Impression: "The Devil I Know" is a folksy, down-to-earth ballad from Ohio based singer/songwriter josephhosey. Joe's weathered baritone is supported here by a minimal ensemble of strummed guitars, bass and shaker, while a gorgeous string arrangement provides vibrant color and expression, conveying both sweetness and sadness on this authentic love song that exposes both the light and the darkness that is inherent in most romantic relationships. The chord changes reflect that dichotomy, moving effortlessly from major to minor and allowing for a compelling melodic structure that should connect with a wide range of listeners. Folk and Americana enthusiasts in particular need to check out josephhosey's "The Devil I Know", available now as a single on all major streaming platforms.


Strongest Point(s): Excellent production, solid mix. Fantastic vibe on this song. it does an outstanding job of echoing the lyrical themes with the music, which is ultimately the goal of any songwriter, but very seldom achieved. Wonderful harmonic progression, very nice use of borrowed chords on the turnarounds. The strings really made this tune come alive for me, great job arranging and I love how they sit in the mix. I liked the sparse percussion element of what sounds like an egg shaker, drums of any sort would've most likely weighed this song down and been difficult to mix, particularly in the low mids. Terrific lyrical content, outstanding prose used to illustrate the dual nature of love. Should resonate strongly with listeners above a certain age. Nice ending as well. Overall, it's a great bit of song craft and a commendable production for a DiY job. Tremendous work on this one!


Target Audience Appeal: Singer/Songwriter, Alternative Country, Americana, Alternative SInger/Songwriter, Alternative Folk, Adult Alternative


Artist target suggestions: Jason Isbell, Sturgil Simpson, John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, The National, Rodney Crowell, Joe Henry, Freedy Johnston

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ David Chutby - Recognition



radioairplay.com independent new music



David Chutby - Recognition
Rock, Pop Rock, Country Rock
Utrecht, Netherlands




Overall Impression: Both terrifically catchy and crammed full of melody, David Chutby's brilliantly crafted alternative pop-rocker "Recognition" is a well-performed and very well-produced piece of songwriting that places a firm emphasis on its strong lyrical theme and exciting arrangement. Led by David's strong vocal performance, "Recognition" is an invigorating track that fuses driving rhythms with compelling textures and invigorating melodic elements, all the while effectively conveying a strong message through its inspired lyrics that explores the importance of perseverance and self-belief, and like all artists that aspire to take their creativity further by means of self-determination and positive-thought, David Chutby is a shining example of what following your ambition and having a clear goal can achieve and that it's never too late to pursue your passion.


Strongest Point(s): This is certainly an exciting and well-formulated arrangement that is not only filled with great detail and refinement regarding its effective use of layering, but the track's varied instrumentation and the way in which their timbral variety helps provide some excellent contrast and definition between the song's various sections ensure the arrangement feels continually fresh throughout. Textural changes have always been a great way to provide a piece of writing with a feeling of contour and the way in which David fully utilizes the full breadth of the mix as well as the song's rich tonal qualities help to provide some brilliant moments throughout that not only helps to capture the imagination of the listener but keep them well and firmly hooked on each and every melody line and rhythmic hook. Whether it'd be the way subtle reverse guitar and moments of feedback are used to expand the sonic palette of the track or the intriguing way in which the harmony takes some interesting twists and turns, allowing for some particularly interesting vocal ground to be covered, "Recognition" is chock full of inspired ideas that will keep listeners busy.


Target Audience Appeal: I can certainly see "Recognition" appealing to lovers of alternative pop-rock styles.


Artist target suggestions: Daughtry, Kings of Leon, R.E.M., Stereophonics, Foo Fighters, Bryan Adams, U2, Incubus, Chris Cornell, Gin Blossoms, Fuel, The Killers

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ Raleigh J Squires - Darwin



radioairplay.com independent new music



Raleigh J Squires - Darwin
Country, Country Rock, Christian/Gospel
Tennessee, United States




Overall Impression: Tennessee based singer/songwriter Raleigh J Squires serves up an insightful slice of neo-traditional country with his release of "Darwin." A brutally honest and acutely aware social commentary, this mid tempo track makes the keen observation that "We're all just monkeys with money and guns", set to a mostly acoustic folk/blues based arrangement that serves as an ideal backdrop for Squires' easygoing, natural vocal delivery. Its rootsy sound and down-to-earth character make Raleigh J Squires' "Darwin" an easy recommendation for mainstream country music fans, while the thought provoking, mindful nature of its lyrics will appeal to alt-country and folk audiences as well.


Strongest Point(s): Excellent production and overall mix, especially for a DIY project. Great "porch music" vibe here. Outstanding lyrical content, amazing job of summarizing global plights in a concise and entertaining manner. Vocals sound terrific, nice subtle harmony layer. Great tagline/hook, with the "monkeys" line. The sparse drums establish a supportive "swampy" groove. Guitars sound crisp and clean, and that's a fantastic bass tone reinforced by the tick-tack guitar. Overall, it's an incredibly observational, compelling song and a finished track that's got a wonderfully rustic charm about it. Tremendous job, really nice work on this one!


Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Country, Neo-Traditional Country, Americana, Folk-Rock, Alt Country


Artist target suggestions: Dwight Yoakam, Sturgill Simpson, Steve Earle, Clint Black, Robert Earl Keen, Shooter Jennings, Rodney Crowell, Billy Joe Shaver, Chris Stapleton, Lukas Nelson, Conway Twitty, Robbie Fulks, Justin Townes Earle

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ House In Back - Asphalt Summer



radioairplay.com independent new music



House In Back - Asphalt Summer
Alternative/Alt.Rock, Country Rock, Alt. Country
California, United States




Overall Impression: With the wind in their hair, House In Back casts a chilled out mood with their new tune Asphalt Summer. Blending a plethora of styles, Asphalt Summer boasts a moderate groove with elements of Country, Pop, Gulf, and Surf Rock. While this may seem like too much to handle, House In Back expertly mixes these influences for a unique sound without any rough edges. Sung with a colloquial and easy-going tone, the verses offer generalizations for calm living. This prepares the listener for the catchiness and laid back vibe of the chorus. There is hardly a dull moment in the song, and the band manages to bring intrigue in just the right moments to keep listeners thoroughly engaged. Overall, Asphalt Summer by House In Back is dreamy new Country Rock tune perfect for warm, beachfront weather.


Strongest Point(s): The guitar work in Asphalt Summer is very nice. The double stops, country twang, and slides all add invaluable style and color. While the guitar work is what stuck out to this reviewer, listeners will likely be most drawn to the chorus and catchy melody. The chorus is likely one that will stay in your head all afternoon, and invites you to sing along every time it stops by.


Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Country, Pop Rock, and Gulf Rock will dig Asphalt Summer by House In Back.

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ House In Back - My One Lousy Friend



radioairplay.com independent new music



House In Back - My One Lousy Friend
Alternative/Alt. Rock, Country Rock, Alt. Country
California, United States




Overall Impression: House In Back have released their new Country tune My One Lousy Friend. Opening with a gorgeous pedal steel, My One Lousy Friend boasts a quick Country groove and sweet sound. The guitars and percussion all work to create a solid foundation for the vocals, and have a breezy attitude that will have fans of Country and Gulf Rock pining for more. In contrast to the general sweetness of the music, the lyrics deliver a sour punch to the piece of work who calls themself your "friend". When times get tough and you need a shoulder of support, this person steps out of the way and slips out the door. They are sung with a gentle and patient tone that adds snark and wit to the overall tune. As the song progresses, listeners are treated to a fine and melodic guitar solo that gently carries them to the final chorus. With the release of My One Lousy Friend, House In Back shows a strong command of Country style and lyricism that lends itself to a very enjoyable listening experience.


Strongest Point(s): The wit hidden behind the tune is very fun. While the overall sound is positive, gentle, and easy going, the lyrics surprise with their intent. Listeners should stay diligent and not get lost in the music, as they could risk letting the lyrics slip in one ear and out the other. Thus turning them into a particularly lousy friend.


Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Country are sure to dig My One Lousy Friend by House In Back.

Strongest Point(s): The imaginative lyrics really carry the tune forward. Special note should be given to the cool instrumental bridge that completely pulls listeners into a new sound world. It comes as a bit of a surprise, but is very effective in its execution.

SONG REVIEW πŸŽ΅πŸ“ House In Back - Can't Get There From Here



radioairplay.com independent new music



House In Back - Can't Get There From Here
Country, Country Rock, Alt Country
California, United States




Overall Impression: House In Back offers up an authentic-sounding love letter to the classic days of country/Americana rock with their undeniably charming "Can't Get There From Here", not only have they done a sterling job of capturing that undeniably classic mid-western sound brilliantly, but they do so with a clear passion for the genre, making for a particularly laid back listening experience.


Strongest Point(s): The way in which the guitar is effectively used to fill in the gaps in-between the lyrics is an excellent way to keep the arrangement feeling dynamic, this interspersing of these short yet highly melodic guitar interludes works extremely well and creates an excellent question and answer theme between both the guitar and lead vocalist. The lyrics are well-written and effectively conveyed and the overall performances are strong, culminating in a track that is well-written and stylistically fitting.


Target Audience Appeal: Lovers of Americana will certainly appreciate what "Can't Get There From Here" has to offer.

Beaver Road - Love Lovin' You

Overall Impression: Spritely marimba tones give way to sweetly plucked strings and smooth vocal harmonies in Beaver Road's "Love Lovin' You" - bringing listeners into a sunny Americana soundscape with lyrics that practically demand a sing along!


Strongest Point(s): From the lyrical theme to the instrumental feel and back around to the high-spirited, love-drunk chorus melody, Beaver Road's "Love Lovin' You" is bursting with invitational warmth and stylistic levity!
