Allie Jason – Best Thing That I Ever Did

Written by Samantha Flint

This is another one of those amazing, mellow pop songs, that just soothes and warms you. The melodies and music match perfectly.

We are welcomed with Allie’s soothing voice, and she honestly pulled the cat out the bag with this one! The backing vocals in the “Best thing that I ever did”, also bring a perfect touch, as they really compliment the lead vocals.

The lyrics to this song appear to be telling us about the relief and benefit of leaving a toxic or dangerous relation. The good thing about this lyrical style is that many of us can relate to, therefore improving it even more.

The slight beat is great to vibe to and has the effect of elevating your mood. Allie ensures there is nothing too loud and overpowering, to really let her vocals shine. 

Allie Jason is so underrated and definitely needs to be heard. She has an absolutely beautiful voice and once you hear it, I promise you, that you will share my opinions!

Enoka – Do It All 4 Me

Written by Samantha Flint

If you are one of those who loves a good R&B track, that is bold and vibrant, then this song is definitely the one for you! Although “Do it all 4 me” is an R&B track, you can undoubtedly see elements of pop and even soul.

First and foremost, Enoka’s vocalism is outstanding as she is so strong and powerful. Her voice really makes the song.

The beats and the bass line in this song are so captivating and constructs a feeling of positivity. It keeps a steady sound, which you can tell has been carefully structured to keep the song flowing.

This song is like an earworm that you just cannot get out of your head. However, it is not one that you hate, instead it persuades you to listen to this song on repeat.

Enoka is an artist that I would love to hear more of, as her voice and the vibe of her music is just too good to ignore!

Sam Marke – Burden To Bear

Written by Samantha Flint

WOW!

All I can say is what amazing vocals Sam presents in this song! I personally love that tender, emotional side to music that artists like Sam Smith and Lewis Capaldi share. Marke clearly has the potential, and his singing should 100% be heard.

Sam sings about his personal experiences of dealing with his autism and the feeling of being isolated and so nervous that it overpowers him. Not only is this song an amazing song, it’s also one that can be related to by many, which just makes it that so much better.

The piano in this song is the perfect instrument to blend with his vocals and help add to that mournful tone. Marke ends the song quietly after a climax, leaving us feeling all the effects of the song.   

Sam Marke’s song is not one of those that you can just skip, it has to be heard! It’s perfect for that vibe of a late night drive with your pals, belting out the lyrics, getting in the feels.

Rick Smoove – U Miss Me

Written by Samantha Flint

What an absolutely extraordinary piece “U Miss Me” is! This song is the perfect combination rap and R&B, which just makes you want to bop your head and tap your foot to.

The vocals on both parts are incredible and creates an amazing balance of Rick’s rap and choric singing. The rap smoothly makes its way through the song, and the power in his voice really shines through in this song. The backing vocals also give an effective touch to the song, as the two artists sing together as one, rather than it sounding like two separate songs. Not only is the rap and backing vocals amazing, but the chorus also brings that break from rap to a nice R&B sound. The beat keeps up all through the song, helping the flow of the track.

Honestly, if you are a fan of pop, rap or R&B, then this is the ideal one for you! This song has elements of each genre, keeping the listener enticed at all times. I cannot describe how great this song is, you must check it out for yourselves!

Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L – Aquarius

Written by Samantha Flint

This track caught my attention as soon as I first heard it and is definitely an artist I’d love to hear more of!

Aquarius brings about a feeling of relaxation, and honestly, is the kind of song which is perfect to listen to whilst in the car. Hip-hop has always been a favourite of mine and the beat to this song is one that just makes you want to continue to the end of the song. The mix of a thriving bassline and melodies result in an absolutely amazing sound.   

The lyrics of Aquarius share a darker string of emotions, where he is talking about a previous lover and sexual interest. However, this song is not a sad song that drags your mood down, it almost brings you up as he reminisces his previous sexual encounter.     

Although the artist has a baritone voice which is very deep, the words are clear and distinguishable.

I honestly believe this is an awesome track, and Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L should unquestionably be heard more, as he even has the ability to become one of the next big hip-hop artists.

Kelsie Kimberlin – What We Had Review

Written by Samantha Flint

My first time listening to Kimberlin’s “What We Had”, I found myself feeling pleasantly surprised with the track. Although the song has a mellow vibe to it, it certainly keeps you absorbed and engrossed with the sound.

From the beginning of the track, we are warmly welcomed with Kelsie’s vocals. Her voice is absolutely perfect for this track, as it gives off a very soft but powerful feel. Unlike many other recent artists, there is not heavy autotune on her voice, therefore what we are witnessing is just pure and real. Kelsie appears to have very meaningful lyrics to the song that clearly empower her, after touching on the subject of overcoming betrayal.

The actual musical side of this song is also amazing! The song builds up to a climax throughout the first part of the song, leaving us to really feel the emotion. The keys are used throughout to add to that mellow vibe, whilst being joined with a steady beat towards the end as she overcomes the betrayal that was previously spoken about.

Kelsie’s talent must be heard and even I cannot give enough credit to this song. So you must go have a listen to this, and you will definitely not be disappointed!
