I really like 'Preaching to the Choir.' It is mainstream pop in flavor and color, but different and refreshing.

I like this song a lot. Nick Lamb knows how to bring the heat.

'First World Problems' is mediocre at best, coming across like an amateur garage band trying to sound cool. I’m sure Sam Levin has oodles of talent. He just needs to find the musical vehicle to express it.

'Don’t Speak' is gorgeous. The escalation of the harmonic progression synthesized with Arvesten’s rich, diaphanous voice coruscates with brilliant energy. Helga Arvesten is an artist to keep your eye on. There’s an indefinable flair to her music that’s captivating.

'Last of the West Side Cowboys' is simply marvelous. The melody rumbles and rolls along with egregious dynamism, while the rhythm vibrates with a pulsing irresistible pattern. Goddess’ grating voice magnifies the music's electrical sparkle. All these elements combined make it a winner.

'John Wayne' is cool, fun, and stylish. The funky hip-hop melody is innovative enough to attract and maintain attention, while the lyrics imbue the tune with sardonic wit. After listening to 'John Wayne,' the forthcoming album should be worth the wait.

'Forever Love' demonstrates douceur de vivre, the “sweetness of life.” It’s a great, lively love song. The melody is infectious, the rhythm pulses with undeviating brawn, and Kaz Bielinski’s voice injects just the right amount of shivering passion.

'High on Love (Cant’ Get Too)' is a buff and nastily tight song. The funky melody writhes with chill, fresh dynamics, as the rhythmic pulsations flex with muscularity. With this tune, Karen Atkins delivers music rife with enormous frisson.

'Anything Can Happen' is a beautiful love song. The indulgent melody exudes an easy elegant sonority, while the gentle rhythm assumes a reflective ambiance. And Brian Hutson’s silky voice bestows a charming flavor that’s compelling.

There’s a tasty stylish energy to 'Fire & Brew,' a combination of modern production, mature esthetics and the residual dynamism of polished R&B. The melody is suavely charming and Kai Exos’ voice glows with silky sultry quixotic colors. 'Fire & Brew' definitely deserves your attention.
