MarLeih - "With U": StreamLINE Music Review

The silky, smooth vocals of 19-year-old sensation MarLeih will leave you stupefied as you take in her impeccable vocal delivery and gracefully commanding presence as a performer. The Las Vegas based recording artist brings an R&B and pop flavor to the table that is uniquely soulful with a retro undertone, yet still shines brightly with a contemporary flair. MarLeih puts her extraordinary singing chops on full display with her latest and first release of 2022 titled "With U" where she exhibits the aforementioned soulful energy tenfold. "With U" is an exceptional follow up to her previously released track "2 Many" which is an equally spectacular song and composition. "With U" is a song that lyrically touches on longing for someone, desiring to be in their presence and near them, however, MarLeih masterfully conveys a downcast situation and portrays it in an up-tempo, lighthearted fashion which is the beautiful irony of this song.

TRVI - "Truth": StreamLINE Music Review

When you press play on any track from Atlanta rapper Trvi, prepare yourself for a boommode listening experience. The dynamic lyricist and recording artist has turned heads in the hip-hop/rap game with a ear-catching collection of certified bangers in her catalog which features big tyme tracks like Nah Never and her first release of this year Huh .

She brings that extraordinary style unabashedly on her latest project, a blazing single titled "Truth" which also features talented recording artist Jaxx. "Truth" was released on Infinitude Records and produced by Maztiff Beats. The production boasts a speaker rattling bass drum and hummin' 808 that provide the hard edge to the track while the haunting phrases and melodies inject a vibe that's something out of a movi

Malibu Wild Shines Bright on Beaming Trop Pop Single, "3am"

The purveyors of the avant-garde "Trop Pop" sound, Malibu Wild, are surging back on the scene with their second release of 2022, another spectacular single titled "3am", a stirring follow up to their equally dazzling effort "All In". The Cincinnati based band consisting of Joey Trentman and Corey Witsken have formulated their distinct sound over time which masterfully incorporates a combination of Tropical House and Indie Pop. I love how the group has embraced pushing the musical envelope and more so, fascinating how they have been able to manifest it so exceedingly well in their recordings. The latest release "3am" stays true to that formula as it encompasses the core of Malibu Wild's artistic direction, particularly, the intrinsic buoyancy and brightness that accompanies the instrumentation and vocal performance. So, what is the "3am" track about? The title infers that it may be about a wild night out that ends around 3 in the
