Hayley Neale (6 KP) rated All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell by PVRIS in Music
Jan 25, 2018 (Updated Jan 25, 2018)
Every song is catchy as hell and I always find myself letting go, feeling the music and falling in love all over again with every listen. The female lead vocalist, Lynn Gunn has an extremely powerful voice that has a deliciously attractive raspiness to it. Her voice gives me chills, especially when she belts it out in 'Same Soul' so perfectly and her mellifluous high notes that are present in almost every song. The only issue is she mumbles a lot of her lyrics so best to look up the lyrics as you listen, makes the songs a lot more incredible when you know what she is singing:')
Overall this is one of the best electropop-punk albums I have ever listened to. With its eccentric lyrics, mind-blowing vocals and headbanging worthy beats, I'll never go a long distance journey without it in my music library again.

Jun 17, 2019
“It’s only been a while since we’ve been apart. I’m feeling everything I’ve lost. Over, over again I am wondering if things would change. If only I had just told you that night. It feels like nothing can be more right. I don’t need all the planets and stars to align. All I need is to be with you here.” – lyrics
‘These Words’ tells an interesting tale of a lovesick young guy who is unhappy because he regrets losing the love of his life.
Apparently, she’s gone, and all he has left are words which he should have spoken to her when they were together.
Later, he admits that things could have been different between them if he would have acted differently during their relationship.
‘These Words’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and charming instrumentation seasoned with a sentimental pop aroma.
From an early age, Sunny Birla, born Anurag Birla, realized music was not merely a hobby, but a calling. Since then, he has since cultivated a voice that emanates directly from his soul.
Armed with this gift and a smorgasbord of inspiration, he works with creative partner Derrick Wan to create honest songs.
Also, he draws inspiration from a lifetime of experiences with love, loss, and battles with demons. His music resonates with anyone who’s fought their own battles and come out the other side.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Progression by Ray J in Music
Jun 21, 2019
“Baby, cancel all your plans tonight. I got the chauffeur waiting right outside. Don’t worry babe you’ll be here soon. So go on take a shot get in the mood. I grab on your waist. You’re making it shake. I swear that you never get tired. Your body is hot, we’re keeping it lit, we’re setting the roof on fire. She moves her hips like Shakira, she got that swag like Rihanna, she holding it down like Beyoncé. She tryna be my baby mama so back it up for me one time. Make it clap for me two times. Roll it back baby three times. Don’t stop baby rewind.” – lyrics
‘Rewind’ features label mates, and UK pioneering artist Ironik, British producer act Designer Doubt, and Ray J’s artist and best friend Truth. The likable tune follows Ray J’s “Right On Time” single featuring Flo Rida, Brandy, and Designer Doubt.
It will be featured on Ray J’s upcoming album, entitled, “Raydemption”. The project already features the likes of Chris Brown, The Game, and Snoop Dogg with more records in the works.
Also, it’s coming in visual album format, not dissimilar to Beyoncé’s “Lemonade”. Basically, a 45-minute mini-movie that’s already exciting Grammy’s buzz.
However, preceding its release is Jay J’s London exclusive EP, entitled, “Progression”, which includes his “Rewind” single.
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Back on Me - Single by Marshall Loren in Music
Jul 10, 2019
“I said I know that we’re going different ways right now. Can’t help but think that you’re on your way back now. I know I’m the fool that let you go on the loose. Never thought I’d be the one that’s waiting for you.” – lyrics
‘Back on Me’ tells a bittersweet tale of a young guy who wants his ex-girlfriend back. Oftentimes, he reminisces about her and blames himself for their emotional breakup.
Later, he admits if he could change anything, he would have never let her go.
‘Back on Me’ contains a relatable storyline and harmonious vocals. Also, the likable tune possesses murky instrumentation flavored with hip-hop, trap, and urban-pop elements.
“‘Back on Me’ is about ending a relationship with someone that you wish you hadn’t. You see them moving on a lot faster than you anticipated which makes you feel a loss. It’s about wanting that person back in your life. Also, it’s time to bring back the influences of the early 2000s emo scene. This song starts with an old-school steel guitar to bring back those elements that my generation grew up on. The melodies are reminiscent of younger years while having a modern flair. I want to bring back nostalgia for my generation and to show the new kids a style they might not have heard before.” – marshall loren
