In this edition of Song Review, I decided to chose some more recent releases and then some older releases that release a relaxed and chill sound. Everyone on this review is making their debut on the Vinyl Boys website. This release has an excellent mix of alternative, rap, and just feel good jams. The two newest songs on this release are those from Dan + Shay and Niall Horan which were released this past Friday and are getting rated on their first impression to me.

[Read more…]Live Collection – Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band EP Review
Everyone knows that The Boss is absolutely amazing live. I mean I’ve never been to one of his shows but I’ve listened and watched a couple before and found out that they were pretty long. It’s kind of hard to pack parts of his performance in an Ep – but I love this collection. Some of my favorites by Bruce and even better – live!

Goodbyes – Post Malone w/ Young Thug
Post Malone did it again with another love pop song. Goodbyes has the signature Post Malone sound with the catchy hook followed by the quick sad voice lyrical sound. If that doesn’t make sense just give the song a listen and you will hear it. The underlying meaning of the song centers around wanting someone to get out of your head, but you just can’t get them out because you care for them so much. I really like this song and can’t wait for his third studio album which will most likely include this song.
Make It Happen – John Splithoff EP Review
I haven’t know John Splithoff’s music for super long. He’s honestly not super popular, and I first heard his music in a set of headphones at Costco. I really liked him so I looked him up at home and did some heavy listening of his EP. I think he may have a couple of singles but he doesn’t have that much music. With that, I really got a feel of his sound and songwriting style, and I’m a big fan of his stuff. He’s got like a really cool pop/soul sound that’s different than mainstream music. This isn’t a ranking based on favorites and is in the order of the EP.
[Read more…]Oh My Messy Mind – James Bay EP Review
In the await of his third studio album James Bay released Oh My Messy Mind on May 10, 2019. James Bay, as a young artist has already been nominated for three different Grammys but unfortunately has not won one to this date. Bay’s first album Chaos and The Calm saw him battle the ups and downs of love with a rock pop style. Chaos and The Calm put Bay on the map for his signature style of music and his sad but relatable lyrics. His follow up album Electric Light gained a lot of negative reviews with the use of electronic technics to alter his vocals and add a more techno sound to his music. The new sound went heavily against what he focused on in Chaos and The Calm which gained him his fame. Personally, I enjoyed Electric Light as well as Chaos and The Calm and maybe even liked Electric Light a little more, but the hardcore fans of James Bay had a different idea. For this EP I decided not to rank them due to the shortness of the release, but instead I will just do what I normally do by analyzing each song.
