Music Review: Fire Tiger-Energy

Fire Tiger
Single: Energy
The '80s were a pivotal period in music. The experimental sounds and looks that electrified a generation. Fire Tiger brings that electrifying sound back to the airwaves.
Energy brings the sound of the '80s to modern day times. Their sound reminds me of the rock styles of Jem and the Holograms. Now I know what you're thinking, Jem and the Holograms was not a real band but their music was unforgettable. All of us who grew up watching the '80s cartoon still remember the songs like they were still being played today.
With Energy I feel like putting on my neon leg warmers, pull my hair into a side ponytail with a huge scrunchie, and put on a series of random bracelets while dancing around my apartment without a care in the world. Energy's beat is very similar to that of She's Got the Power from Jem and the Holograms. It's a fun track that not only takes us back to what makes music great but it takes us beyond the basics. This song holds a message for our world as it is today but with the reminder of why yesterday was so great.
"When I said I don't need love, I was joking because
I see what life's become without it, and I've had enough"
Two of the most powerful lines in the song. A life without love is chaos. Chaos is instability and we all want stability in our lives in some way shape or form. I have listened to other songs by Fire Tiger after hearing this song and stand firm in saying that this group has talent. My only worry about their sound is if the world will be accepting to it since it's giving us a peek as to why we fell in love with music in the first place. Will we be accepting of the unique '80s sound making a comeback? In my opinion we should be. I hope you all check out the single at Fire Tiger Energy on YouTube, like their page at the Fire Tiger Facebook page, and checking out the Fire Tiger Official Website. I will be doing another review on this group to further discuss their unique sound and incredible talent.

Music Review: Jerad Finck Criminal EP

Image
Artist: Jerad Finck Criminal EP The first review for Jerad was the "Criminal" single. This review for the "Criminal" EP. Before I get into the review I want to define what an EP is for those that don't know. An EP stands for extended play. It contains additional tracks than the single but the track list is too short to be considered a full album. It's like a sneak peek into the artist's potential full album, a teaser if you will. Now onto the review. I was ecstatic after listening to Criminal  that when my boyfriend, Jeff returned from work I made him sit down and watch the video with me (my 20th time watching it that night, his first). I started playing the EP this morning and he immediately joined me in the living room asking me, "Is this the guy you're reviewing?" I said "Yes" and with that Jerad gains another fan. Jeff loves the music. This is what I love about music like this. It brings people together and infectious. T

Music Review Single: Leslie Becker "Slow Burn"

Image
Artist: Leslie Becker Single: Slow Burn In the beginning of this video we see Leslie walking down the street at night looking classy and ready for some fun. This song and the video reminds me a lot of the opening credits to a James Bond film. The song as well sounds like the next title track to the next James Bond film. It's hot, sultry and Leslie's voice is hypnotizing. What I like about the song is how the woman is in control. You see the men looking at her and she decides whether they get her attention or not. It's interesting because within the song and video there is a tease of mystery. She's not putting herself completely out there. This is apparent even through her vocals. It's like a "come and get me" but she decides when it goes further. I love how she sings, "I'm worth the wait" because it's an empowering statement. She knows her worth. The "slow burn" is the excitement building up to that incredible firework fee

Music Review: Whitty Whitesell

Artist: Whitty Whitesell Album: Gift of the Middle I first encountered Whitty on Twitter. I truly enjoy meeting/connecting with artists no matter their craft. He messaged me encouraging me to check out his album. *Note: It is always a great first impression when you personally reach out to people to check out/review your work. Moving on, I went right to his sight whitty.bz to check out his songs. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. In a world where it seems that the music has gotten lost in the image, his music is refreshing. It's that raw talent that has everything to do with the music and artistic expression. With the first tracks, St. Lucy Flyin' High , Firm Embrace, and Dying Myself, I can hear the stylings of the Beatles in songs such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds . There's just something about Lucy. This album takes you on a musical journey starting with what I call the "birth" mood of the first three tracks. You feel carefree, calm, and unst
