Music Video: George Ezra's "Paradise"

By
Written by Logan Carter
March 23, 2018, the artist George Ezra released the album Staying at Tamara's, but not long before, on January 24 he released a music video for the upcoming album for the song “Paradise”. The video starts off like a dark, meaningful, slow song as George comes in, guitar in hand he walks to a triangle light. All is shot in black and white, making the feeling of a somber song stronger. Then like a full 180, George opens his mouth with a bright and fast paced love song telling us of the booming heart full of love. As the song progresses, you see shots of George singing with backup singers played by himself. Then he's tells the girl “I know you've heard this from other boys, but this time it's real and it's something that I feel”. He's telling you that his love is the real deal for him. The song goes on with some amazing shots with only bursts of bright rich colors such as red or blues showing how love might make, an otherwise dull world, bright and vibrant. The song is fast and fun to nod along to and the music video looks like the whole crew just wanted to have fun with every shot of George. He's smiling and it looks like he's having a blast with this song. The song doesn't try to hide its meaning its about love and the feelings that go with that. It's there to have fun and to be a great time while George Ezra explains how much he loves this girl he's singing to. This song works really well for me, George's voice is a beautiful barri (baritone), he has a resinence to his voice that really makes the song. This music video, like most of George Ezra's videos, is as artistically styled as possible, with the black and white and the pops of color, the music video is fast and matches the song well. I think it's a visualization of George Ezra's mind seeing the dull world with the bursts of color from love. I really enjoyed this music video and I think the song and video melded really well.
Rating 9/10

Tyler Carter "Pressure" Single Review

By
Written by Jade Marshall  A new single “Pressure” by Tyler Carter was released on June 28th. My overall opinion of this song is that it's a really good release. The song is great and it is such a beautiful song in a strange yet wonderful way, it’s one of a kind. The beginning of the song stood out, because you hardly hear the beat in the background but you hear his voice quite strongly, it’s really beautiful. The chorus itself is prominent, as it is saying that he needs someone who will take him as him and not put all this extra pressure on him for not being who they want. “I remember when you told me/I should go back to the old me/Before the Taylor's and the tattoos/Before the Perignon and OG.” This part stands out because it opens ups the song up and tells you right off the back what he wants. “I'm frankensteinin' they wanna put me back in the lab/If I'm gonna be grinding, if I'm gonna be making this skrill/I'm gonna do it my way, bitch get out of ...

Artist Feature: EXNATIONS

By
Written by Alexis Hodo Indie/pop trio EXNATIONS released their third single, ‘Blank White’ as a final introduction to their first EP Tiny Sound in the Dark . Based out of New York, EXNATIONS have been together for a year and will welcome their first EP into the world on August 24. I wasn’t sure what to expect with their latest single ‘Blank White’ considering I have never heard of the band before. Judging from their neon artwork, slightly reminding me of The 1975, I figured they would have an indie sound to them. The single does well for the vibe of EXNATIONS following their other singles ‘Can’t Get Hurt’ and ‘Never About the Money’ which hold the same sound as ‘Blank White.’ They are different enough in that they showcase the band holds variety in their sound, but similar enough to tell the songs stem from the same project. What I like about ‘Blank White’ is the fun boppy intro the song provides listeners with. After I hear “At the Blank White of the moon” I truly ju...

Atlas Genius concert review

By
Hello! I have been gone for a while because I'm a lot busier now that I'm in school, but I have a lot of concerts coming up so I will be posting more frequently. I went back to Bottom Lounge in Chicago on October 5th to see Atlas Genius. I do like their music a lot, but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. I honestly wanted to go mostly because I fell in love with Bottom Lounge when I was last there to see Andrew McMahon. I always end up liking the opening acts they bring in and I love the intimate atmosphere. I hope to continue going there to discover new music. Half The Animal The first band that opened was Half The Animal. I had never even heard of them before and had no clue what they sounded like. As soon as they started I really got into them. They have an indie-pop sound, which is something I've started appreciating more recently. The lead singer, Chase Johnson, had an incredible amount of energy. He was dancing and getting into the music and the energy fr...
