Surviving As An Indie Artist: Music Review (Solaya Love)

Review by Raye Cray

I was sent a body of work titled "Illustrious" by independent singer, songwriter, and musician Solaya Love. Initially, I was only going to review her single "Let It Go". "Let It Go" is not a tune that I would add to my personal playlist. I like parts of the chorus and the rounds at the end of the song. I wanted to be fair, so I listened to some of her other songs. I am happy that I did. There are so many other tunes that could be a better fit for the lead single. I would list those tunes but the body of work- with the exception of "Let It Go"- is marked as private. I believe that Solaya Love has the potential to go far. Her energy is young and fun. Her sound is unique. My last suggestion would be to get better instrumentals for some of the tracks. Check her out and share your thoughts.

Surviving As An Indie Artist: Music Review ( Sundogs)

I was sent a track titled "Alive Tonight". This track was created by the duo "Sundogs". They are a Seattle based band that was formed by Stan Snow and Jed Moffitt. "Alive Tonight" is a well crafted tune. The intro and music for this tune is mesmerizing. I especially love the guitar and tambourine solo. I am not a big fan of the lyrics for the verses. I can not relate to them. However, I did enjoy the chorus. The chorus is simple, catchy and most people can relate to feeling alive at some point in their lives. I like the vocal harmonies. They give this tune a soulful feel. Check out "Alive Tonight" by the "Sundogs" Written by Raye Cray
