Torsha Lynn has a very nice voice. For “Supa Baddd”, her debut single, she gives us a R&B/Hip Hop feel. Torsha has a great R&B voice, but the beat for the single has the Hip Hop feel. The higher and lower voice that is sprinkled throughout the song I did not appreciate, but others might like. I think Torsha’s voice alone could carry the song and didn’t need the extra theatrics. Love to hear more from her to see what direction she will lean toward as a genre. Check out “Supa Baddd” through SoundCloud below – Richard:
Lady Low’s Latest “When I Do Wrong”
I don’t know why but this song just hit me just right. Like Lady Low’s previous single this single, “When I Do Wrong” isn’t one that will get you up moving. It is a slower song, but that is their intent. The lyrics and instruments are simple, but evocative. Give “When I Do Wrong” a listen through SoundCloud – Richard
“You Got it Bad” Cover by Janine and The Mixtape
Layne’s Latest Single “I’d Go To Space With You”
Debut Single “Whole Again” from Alec Chambers
Alec Chambers has a great sounding single on his hands. The rhythms are there, the hooks are there, and he has a nice clear voice. The only thing that might hold some back is his Tenor voice. I like his voice, but it will be compared to Justin Bieber’s voice and other boy band type voices. This isn’t to say his voice is bad, because it isn’t, he just needs to be prepared for that happening. Take a listen to Alec’s “Whole Again” through SoundCloud and see what you think – Richard

The Glass Child gives us a moving “Who Am I”
Charlotte Eriksson (The Glass Child) gives a powerful performance with her release of “Who Am I”, from her album, I Must Be Gone and Live, or Stay and Die. At times her voice gets lost in the chorus, but that kind of fits the song, because we all get lost at times in our lives and wonder “Who Am I” or what is my purpose in life. You can tell that she puts her emotional experiences in her music, through her voice. Eager to see what else she might give us in the future. Check out “Who Am I” through SoundCloud below – Richard:
Julius Releases His Second Single “Ohh Baby”
Julius releases his second single “OhhBaby”, his first being “Falling on Hard Times”. Listening to both singles you can feel the classical influence he has with his experience as a composer. In “OhhBaby” you can hear a “march’ tempo with the drums that you would hear in a classical composition. Both songs are different in style, so it seems he is experimenting with his sound and his voice. Each song sounds nice and for only his first two singles Julius will be a performer to watch. Check out his two singles from SoundCloud below – Richard:
Ghost Loft’s latest single “Be Easy”
Ghost Loft’s latest reflects the single’s title “Be Easy”. The rhythm and vocals are strong and sharp, but they flow smoothly or “Easy” on the listeners ears. Very nice sound and most will enjoy the single. It’s not a get up and dance song, just a nice flowing song. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard
Life Leone is back with “I Can’t Say No”
Life Leone is begin their tour to promote the EP Comes Crashing In, with the release of the single “I Can’t Say No” . The group definitely has that rocking feel and I see were they get the term fuzzy rock. With the guitar so loud it is the star of the music. However, the lyrics are decent and the lead singers voice sounds good. They don’t have to hide him, just let it all flow naturally and they would be even a more powerful rock group. Check out their single “I Can’t Say No” through SoundCloud it might be for you – Richard:

Layne Gives us “Warrior”
Layne Putnam breaks out with here debut single “Warrior”. This single has a great feel to it. It isn’t slow or fast, but kind of in between. The verse is nice an clear and concentrates on Layne’s vocals and then when the chorus comes in the heavy bass beat comes in to get your had to rocking. Her voice within the chorus is mixed in with the instruments, but it isn’t completely lost, however to me the chorus feels like it was purposely made to spotlight the instruments more than her voice. Check it out through SoundCloud I think you will like it- Richard
