Cole Hermer & The Ravens - EP review

Year : 2013
Genre : Hard Rock, Glam Rock
Origin : Canada
Official site : > -here - <

Cole Hermer & The Ravens bring both high octane and mid-tempo radio friendly hard rock heft all in the spirit of genre specifically timeless Aerosmith and "Lies!"-era Guns 'N Roses.
 Radio friendly at heart, yet uncompromisingly experimentive, while at that - not a contradiction, and those contradictions collapse with Meshuggah on the planet surface, anyway.

I especially like the way this EP sounds : it has a garage-setting charm to it, which makes it especially organic and likable. The guys themselves entertaining this type of music might indeed be teenagers, but they make YOU one in the process, too. If you can not be a teenager any time of the day, then I don't know what to tell you, daddy! Daddy. Why are you wearing that - AGAIN?? Read on to know more about this.

BluRum13 - Inverted review

Year : 2013
Genre : Hip Hop with an experimentive Space Opera fascination
Origin : Canada
Official site : > - here - <

Blurum13 might posture in upside down fashion on the cover image of his latest to date full length feature presentation, yet this Canadian rhymerider has considerable chance to perpetuate fresh and relevant patterns into the mere surface of hip hop, Martian face style. Finally! In other words, do not judge the product by the cheesefest cover art, because the music on the Inverted release is about to feed you to an infinite number of singularities just to warm your ears up.

Big words should be reckoned as such, and should not be offered around lightly, yet, in the exact same stone cold sober school of thought, - qwertzuiopőúóüöűáélkjhgfdsayxcvbn - they should be given when the demand for them is warranted and relentlessly claimed. Such is the case right now. The Inverted LP, simply put, is not a disc you can afford to miss out on and call yourself a contemporary rap enthusiast after. The main dynamics the spin takes you with itself by, are the intricately sculpted and super-lengthy - per track, obviously - coalitions between the narration and the sonic surroundings. BluRum13 is quick to zone in on the trademark flow of the effort after a declaration is about to reveal its structural/harmonic nature.

We are talking about a consequently mid-tempo demeanor that always maintains the right to cultivate a desire towards the more upbeat characteristics, and the evident/brilliant hip hop magic happens with top of the foodchain efficiency, courtesy of Blurum13's hilarious ability of simply NOT being able to interrupt-let alone to stop the top tier spoken textcarpet once he finds himself on a roll WITH it, and with YOU, on it. He just took you there, and you two - four, if you include the carpet and the maid - are still moving. This is not propaganda talk, nor propaganda review, ladies and gents, this is extra crispy ultrahip - tukk! - hip hop done in 2013, and you want to hear it. Read on to know more about it.

Korean Voodoo - think what I would do

Lyrics :

I talk too much
and I do give up
because
you secretly don't give a fuck
bringing the passion
for your satisfaction

you don't seem to understand
he is irresistible

so masterfully disguised
for a moment I see you in your eyes
then you're over and out

well timed
so desperately disguised
for a moment I see you in your eyes
then you're over and out

I talk too much
and I do give up
because
you secretly don't give a fuck
bringing the passion
for your satisfaction

your satisfaction
is a sad infection
your satisfaction
is a sad defection

you don't seem to understand
he is irresistible

this disease you spoil
ain't worth crying over
a man chooses
a slave obeys

this here mask inside
ain't worth switching over
on your mask I rip open a face

you don't seem to understand
he is irresistible

so masterfully disguised
for a moment I see you in your eyes
then you're over and out

well timed
so sloppily overdisguised
for a moment I see you in your eyes
then you're over and out

think what I would do

Blacky Kev & QweEzY & Mason Way - Invasion review

Year : 2013
Genre : Hip Hop
Label : Independent
Origin : United States
Official site : > - here - <

Invasion is fueled by a one time (?) supergroup collaboration between the three hip hop performers noted on the cover of the release. The disc sports a length most suitable to lay out a decent EP flow on, and such is the case, indeed : Invasion outlines heavily - and tastily - arpeggiated harmonic structures that reveal the musical moods of the coin op beat 'em up games of the '80s - a brilliant vibe, doubtless - delivering an almost polite-, friendly type of rapping by the contributors. The disc is pretty much free of subterfuge and intimidation, while the main base of operation the flow -ha, ha. - inspects, is sex, and the 'hoes to have it with. When sexism is portrayed through the lens of cartoon comic vibes, your only legitimate fear can not be anything else than that you might end up getting left out of it - from the cartoon sexism, not out of fear. Fear not, or do nothing else, then read on to know more about this disc.

Keenan bros - Blood. Sweat. Tears. EP review

Year : 2013
Genre : Lounge Hip Hop with Soul and Pop affections
Label : Independent
Official site : > - here - <
Rating : 9.2 / 10

The Keenan bros are into the niche of music that was ultra-prominent in the early and mid '90s, popularized mainly by such boygroups as Take That! or Boyz 2 Men. There IS an optimum extra-, a beneficial deviation added to the top, and quite literally so. The Keenan bros are full fledged lounge rappers - no swearing or subterfuge-tendencies - and they spice up these otherwise stone-traditional pop/soul tracks with fluent rapping that renders a continuous, exigently developed layer to catch your attention with.

Mason Way - The Full Thing mixtape review

Year : 2013
Genre : Hip Hop, mixtape
Label : Independent
Origin : United States
Official site : > - here - <

The Full Thing aims to be an immaculate compilation of the most ripe moments of none less than 7 mixtapes Mason Way came out with in this very year alone. The FUNNY thing about the Full Thing is that Mason Way has developed a full fledged hip hop identity without even realizing it : apart from certain sonic extremes revealed on the disc - some rare cases where a lower volume level of drums would definitely benefit the flow more - the mixtape delivers a ripe, and playful variant of hip hop on the surface level, while the majority of the narration revolves around the most cosmological, the most beneficial man can desire : lamentations about instant pussy vicinity! FINALLY! You will have quite a few declarations fixated on this key subject in an optimal manner - no tastelessness, just the truth. This truth is the following : women are the BEST, but it takes a man to recognize it. Read on to know more about The Full Thing mixtape.

Natalie Jones - Now You Know review

Year : 2013
Genre : Soft Rock, Pop Crossover
Origin : United States
Official site : > - here - <

Natalie Jones' debut spin "Now You Know" is highlighted by a lush, adeptly channeled, emotional voice-presence skillfully orchestrated through 13 radio friendly pop/soft rock crossover declarations. The flow is melodically dynamic and pretty much masterfully - pun willfully absorbed - revealed when scrutinized from then angles of all the genre specific considerations of definition and obligatory instant pop power. The sound is punchy, yet never arrogant or intimidating, while the songcraft willfully submits to all the major - AND minor, too - culturally ingrained pop-affections without losing a face and the ethos of creative dignity in the process.

The disk weighs in at 59 minutes of melodic pop/soft rock stimuli, and never once falls into the false luxury of losing focus on the main actual attraction, which is to showcase Jones' considerable singing talent, exhibited on top of all the various sonic/harmonic domains of the most popular western scales and musical keys. Fear not! Or, fear only if you are a pop diva who frequents this site - this either is very bad or very good taste, madame - her natural timber elevates her above 99 of 100 recent pop divas, and the remaining one (logically) is her.

Granted, the chord progressions are polite and not at all experimentive in their intents and render no challenge to the boundaries of radio friendly music, nevertheless their inherent timeless charms are explored (AND exploited) thoroughly, toppled by the favorite vocal ornamentics of the profiling artist. The mere consideration of the unchained female singing voice is not the ONLY consideration though, not this time - Natalie Jones sounds to have a natural talent at spotting melodies that are truly worth giving attention to on top of the given bonfire tonalities.
