--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vile Hour - Like SnakesWho are Vile Hour?Almost everyone knows who Vile Hour is by now however if you don't here's a short introduction they're a punk cabaret band that consist of members Nichole Fischer and Castor Drake musically you should know them for having three amazing singles a number 1 album and being nominated for two Chaos Awards (Best Newcomer and Best Indie/Alternative) and if you don't know them for that Nichole also appeared on the third season of Celebrity Big Brother which was probably the biggest season to happen yet she had placed 3rd on it after a pretty god run it was clear she was one of the more popular contestants The reviewAnyway on to the song now so this song was written by Nichole Fischer she wrote this song back on Celebrity Big Brother after Erica got voted off and decided to release this as their fourth single the song is so full of emotion and has a very beautiful instrumental the lyrics are absolutely brilliant probably some of the best I've heard in awhile but that's to no surprise at all as pretty much all of the lyrics that come from this band are amazing the instruments all go together perfectly with each other and with Nichole's voice which is amazing she does a beautiful job on this song the song is so different from modern day music which mostly consist of pop or dance and that's great and all but it's refreshing to hear something else for a change and that is what probably makes me love it so much more it's original and beautiful and I really hope that Vile Hour keeps this originality going because I love it Final thoughtsThis is an amazingly beautiful song that is very original and different from todays music if you're open minded to different genres of music then I'd say give this song a listen because it's really great and the band are really talented and seem like very cool people Rating- Brandon Grey
Michelle Green - ExplodeWho is Michelle Green?You should know who Michelle Green is by now since she's been a pretty big name in music for about 3 years now however if you don't know Michelle Green released her debut album "The Voice Of Me" at the age of 15 and that was about 3 years ago it went to #1 on the charts about a year later Michelle released her second album "Exiled" which also did well on the charts coming in at #2 Michelle later released a platinum edition of "Exiled" as well and if that isn't enough she competed on the biggest reality show there is Celebrity Big Brother coming in third place and if that still isn't enough for you she is currently engaged to Riley Hamilton who is part of the biggest boy band there is right now Weekend The reviewOn to the review this song may come off as a bit of a surprise to some as we knew Michelle as one of the most innocent people in the industry she's also part of one of the most innocent couples as well however this song is far from innocent it's very sexual more than I would have ever expected from Michelle I actually had to take a cold shower after listening to this track haha okay but seriously this song is very different from what we have heard from Michelle the song is basically about sex with her equally as innocent partner Riley Hamilton I honestly wouldn't have believed that since I could never in a million years imagine these two having sex but the lyrics go "Gonna show you a thing or two, my sexy little Valentine" then there's "If you get me fired up, we can go all night" so yeah I was really caught off guard by this song when I heard it however I do like it a lot it's a really catchy song the beat is awesome and Michelle's voice sounds amazing as always and the song is very sexy however I do have to admit it might just take some time to get use to the new grown up Michelle but it is a really good song Final thoughsThe song is really good I love how catchy it is Michelle's voice is flawless is usual however I doubt I could ever think of Miley or is it Richelle? The same way again but I'd say give it a listen because it is a really cool song Rating- Brandon Grey
Sammy Griffin - NumbWho is Sammy GriffinSammy Griffin began getting more popular in the music industry around 2011 he began playing larger gigs and scored a record deal with Studio60 Records which is known as one of the biggest labels in the business a little while later he released "Your Real Disguise which shot up to #2 on the Top 20 Digital Charts he then topped the Top 20 Airplay Charts when he featured on a single with singer/rapper Chloe the track was titled "24 Hours" after awhile he seemed to disappear from the music industry and public eye nobody seemed to know where he had went until recently he stated that he had had a family tragedy his older sister had recently died during childbirth so he took a break from everything and spent some time with his family he is now recently returning to the industry with his new single Numb The reviewAnyway onto the review now Numb is a slower song it has a beautiful sound to it that I love the lyrics as always are genius Sammy starts it out in this soft voice that goes with the instruments being played really well it stays rather slow for awhile through the verse which sounds nice but it's not until the chorus where everything seems to pick up and Sammy's voice just sounds really amazing the lyrics are also amazing as it speaks of him breaking somebody's heart and feeling like crap about it and he seems to be asking for another chance to make things right again but the way he said it was just amazing the lyrics and the sound seem to go perfectly together and even if you haven't been through something like this you could probably still feel the pain in what he's saying like you can put yourself in his position and sort of relate to it in a way if that makes sense I'm not sure I hope it does but yeah Sammy's lyrics are never short of amazing and this song is no exception and his voice it just amazing throughout the whole song he really blew me away here so great job on that Sammy Final thoughsThe lyrics are amazing, his voice is amazing, the sound of the song is amazing this song is pretty much amazing I love it and I can't wait to see what Sammy does next definitely check this song out out Rating- Brandon Grey
Kourtney - Heart On The LineWho is Kourtney Steele?Kourtney Steele is a Canadian born singer-songwriter and one of the newest artists in the music industry today she is also a reviewer she is mainly known for releasing her debut single earlier this year titled "Shut Me Out" which was a total hit unsurprisingly since it's probably one of the catchiest songs ever she's also known for dating Jason Ochoa who is in pop boy band The Zone she's also featured on Kato's new single Little Hints Kourtney is also one of my predicted acts to take over the industry keep that in mind The reviewOkay well now that you know who she is let's move onto the review so this song is about Kourtney's good friends relationship the song has this sort of dramatic opening that really pulls you into it just by hearing this part I knew this song was going to be yet another extremely catchy hit from this really talented and beautiful artist and I was definitely not wrong like seriously this song is catchier than a cold haha Kourtney's voice sounds fantastic on this track as well which isn't a surprise cause let's face it this girl is a really really good singer and this song is just really nice I mean it's catchy and fun the lyrics are really good her singing is spot on in this track and I just love how this song just goes together with the lyrics I also love that this isn't an over produced track in my opinion anyway and great job to her and Sunny Monroe and Bridgit M on these lyrics I love them I didn't think it was possible but I actually like this song more than Shut Me Out keep in mind that I adore that song I honestly cannot wait to see what Kourtney does next whatever it is I am fully going to support it and I'm more than sure that me along with everyone else is going to love it anyway great job on this track Kourtney Final thoughtsProbably the funnest and catchiest song I've heard since Shut Me Out definitely check it out because it's really great and this girl is a really amazing artist and I really really want to see her succeed in the industry Rating- Brandon Grey
Gemma Kane - We Had The PowerWho is Gemma Kane?Gemma Kane is known for appearing on the television show Star Factory with former group Lashes Gemma was known as the lead singer of the group they had made it pretty far on the show with their risqué performances they probably would have made it farther on the show if they hadn't missed a week however after the show finished the girls ended up releasing Brittany Knox's "Leather Love" which despite being a cover did pretty well on the charts after not hearing any word at all from the four girls we finally heard that they'd be splitting which was sad news for some after awhile it was said that Gemma Kane would be starting up her solo career Gemma is also known for being the wife of one if the biggest Rock singers right now James Urie The reviewSo I'll be honest this song is not exactly what I had expected for Gemma to release I mean after watching her on Star Factory or seeing her release Leather Love with Lashes I expected something really different from this song I'm glad that she didn't release what I expected though because this song is so much better than what I expected it to be I expected a more poppy dance song that was about sex but what Gemma released was a song that actually fit a pop rock sound in a way and the lyrics were also better than what I expected so thank God for that anyway the song speaks about a break up it could be about a relationship breaking up, or losing a friend but to me it sounds more like it's about the Lashes breakup anyway the lyrics are really good and I do like them however the chorus is a bit repetitive to me which I guess isn't all that bad and the sound of the song is definitely incredible I actually really love it Gemma's voice sounds really great on this track which doesn't really come as much of a surprise as she was known as the lead of Lashes but still she did exceed my expectations with her voice which is always good Final thoughtsThe song is pretty good it's always hard to start a solo career after being in a group cause people will always know you as the girl or guy who was in that group instead of thinking of you as a solo artist however I do think that this song is good enough to take Gemma from being that girl in a group to being a solo artist it's really good and Gemma sounds fantastic on it so good job Gemma Rating Payton - Player No More (feat. Liyah)Who is Payton?Payton is a 17 year old singer/songwriter who is mostly known for uploading a rather controversial song "Bend Over Miss" which speaks of Payton's feelings for a teacher Payton has stated that the song wasn't mean't to be taken seriously however that didn't stop people from doing just that some people went extremely upset after hearing a 17 year old boy sing about his teacher in a sexual manner the track was written alongside singer/songwriter and former Riot! In the Boulevard guitarist Adam Benjamin which came as a shock to most after releasing the controversial track Payton managed to gain a following of both "haters" and fans which to be honest didn't really come as much of a shock a decent looking teenage boy singing about sex? That's pretty much the perfect artist these days no offense I will give him props for being an independent artist though and gaining his following on his own without a bunch of promotion and all that crap so good job on that Payton The reviewAnd since you all know who he is now let's get on to this review so the track starts out with this the trumpets that we've been hearing on almost every song lately but I will say they're always a goo catchy way to draw in the listener after that we hear Liyah come in for the first time in the track which is a nice way to open it we then hear Payton come in after Liyah finishes her little rap in the opening we hear Payton come in with his slightly raspy vocals which fit the song rather well with the catchy urban styled beat the lyrics talk about Payton being a player then meeting this girl that he actually wants to have a relationship and I'm guessing sex with but the lyrics aren't a main focus on a track like this when you hear this kind of track it's more about the beat and the vocals which are definitely done right the song might be a bit generic in some ways but that isn't necessarily a bad thing the track is fun from beginning to end and there's no denying that Payton is a talented kid and Liyah is definitely a very talented young woman as well and the two certainly have a chemistry there's no denying that Final thoughtsThe song might be a little generic in ways but it's definitely a fun song that I could see all over the radio and in clubs everywhere who knows this may be the song to put Payton up there with the likes of Kato and Austin Nimmo overall it's a good catchy song from two very talented young artists and you should definitely check it out Rating- Brandon Grey------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
