Music Reviews 51 cents for 4 reviews over 1 hour on SlicethePie::

A crescendo introduction from silence into riffs of guitars, drums, keyboards, etc. and a message of vocals calling for "holding on to those dreams" resounds solidly as an alternative, type of new wave music suitable for radio.

Echoes of a drum and voices as of in a wilderness culminate the piece in a thoughtful (as if in capella) (or, in a drum circle) original message of what this author understood as "finding one self," as if!

Overall: the riffs, tempo, vocals, lyrics and instrumentals created a melodic piece of new wave, alternative music that this author would not mind hearing for a second time, or, as a song on a radio perhaps performed live over mic, broadcast and with interviews of the band members.

--------

"Twang" riffs of guitars, drum beats, keyboards lead into a country genre love song, which begs the listener to feel nostalgic about a loved one to whom the artist apparently indicates in the song as "you," or, "I'm on my way back to you."

A reference to a "middle seat" during the song narrates the artists travels from someplace distant on a plane to someplace where home, love and familiarity abound for the artist.

However, the lyrics seem to relate the fact that the artist wrote the song with a kernel of real life relations in the artist's life: except the artist made listeners an object of the lyrics with "you."

Overall, the melody is ordinary in that the guitars were strummed too loudly over a raspy, male vocal: which may have sounded better if a coquette night club singer were singing the song.

This song might be a good song to play in a piano bar at a major chain hotel or else as a street or fair act, but of the country music that this author has listened to on the radio: this song is not suitable for air time as it is.

-----

A blues/R&B selection which begins with bass guitar riffs, drums and a vocal reminiscent of a Neville brother pitch, this song feeds through speakers like a baby rocked to sleep inducing nostalgic longing for a lost loved one to whom the lyrics are directed.

The piece continues into a melodic piece with tempo in instrumentals and vocals about the subject of the lyrics (a lost loved one) to a three string guitar note uptick after a lyric explains "everything begins with a spark" meaning life renews.

Overall, this author liked the piece very much for its genre in ilk of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Neville Brothers and other blues greats.  The bass guitar resounded with an undertone throughout the piece and carried the vocals to a crescendo finish on three guitar notes.

------

Echoing into the introduction of the vocals, the instrumentals of what sounds like guitars, keyboards and percussions engage in riffs accompanying the female vocalist singing lyrics about a loved one.

"I can feel your breath inside me even when you are not near" is a testament of the loss that the lyrics narrate throughout the riffs to what progresses as solid sound without an echo ending in instrumentals fading while the vocalist sings the lyric of "fading."

Overall, the piece is a contemporary music genre and does not incorporate any new theme of the lyrics from other artists.  The piece is not a distinguishable piece other than if played in a small club with an entrance fee.

Community radio stations may be a market for the song along with an interview of band members, but the melody of the song is too bland and heard previously by myself, the author, through other artists.

As a critic of the song, this author does not see a major label or the recording industry selling millions of single tracks: but, there is a market for it in networking and gigs.  

------

Piano, drums, percussion leading into vocals, this is a slow song suitable for a piano bar in a major hotel chain.

Once again: a song is about a love lost evoking forlorn, nostalgic feelings of people, places, families and education about the subject of the lyrics being a "natural woman" worthy of respect, but "lost."

The religious connotations of the melody resound at the mention of "God" about five minutes into the piece and the song is probably a suitable piece for the contemporary christian music market.
