Some Kind of Planet released their second single called "Arms, So Skinny" recently, but before we go into the song-details : Who are Some Kind of Planet? Well, SKOF (That's how I call them in short-form) is a band from 5 good looking, and I'm not kidding here, REALLY good looking, boys who like to do punk music. They are a Punk Band, or to be exact, a Dance/Post-Punk Band. But, there is this issue here with Punk-Bands. They never seem to get the credit they actually deserve. These boys ain't mainstream, so I don't see this going very high in the charts, the Kids now are more into Sex, Parties and other bullshit. Well, it's not a bad thing to make party songs or sex songs, but It's the sad truth that, if you don't make mainstream music with a sick beat and some sexual content, you don't even get the chance to make yourself stand out. But let's get back to the actual topic ; Some Kind of Planet , is a good looking Punk-Band signed to Saturn Records, with some really unique and 'different' songs. Oh, and they are really good looking (I see you Levi).

So, lets start with the actual song review :
"Arms, So Skinny", is the second official single by Some Kind of Planet, it's written by Noel and produced by Bryan Koyabashi. It has a really complex and unusual Sound, which makes it really fresh and new. It's something , you probably never heard before. It starts with a dissonant guitar riff, which stays almost through the whole song. The more interesting part here, is the bass part, which takes the lead over the guitar riff. The Japanese verse, "Kirisuto watashi wa anata o aishite!" (which means "Christ, I love you!"), really got me off-guard, which was the reason why I needed to listen to this song more then once, to understand that it's Japanese. The lyrics is pretty easy, or simple, call it how you want. But, the producing and just the way how the lyrics got sung, makes it up. You don't need a long-ass lyrics, if you know how to sell a short or simple lyrics.

As I already said, I don't see this high in the Charts, because it's just not mainstream enough to go #1 or to be in the Top 5. I could be wrong, and Humanity suprises me but I doubt it. But I really like this song, the way it was made is just perfect. And, the fact that they are good looking (I know that I repeat myself..) is just a big plus. I see them go big but they are more the band which sells tickets then the band which sells singles.

Austin Nimmo - Real - Single
Review

So, a lot of people asked me to do a Review of Austin Nimmo's new and fresh single "Real". Probably, everyone knows who Austin Nimmo is. I mean, how can't you after that 'accident' with GMA. He just left. Well, jokes aside, this young men did already so much. He has done a Tour , Hit Singles, including few #1's , and an Hot Debut Album! But let's not forget the Fan Choice Award for best male artist! But let's go back to his beginnings, before we start with the actual Song Review. He started back in 2013 with a few Covers on YouTube where he gained a little bit of fame, but it's enough to count him as YouTube Famous. After that, he released his debut single 'Adore You' which was released independently by Austin. He's currently signed by FREEDOM , where he's going to put his second Album out!

Real is an kind of new but yet, not so new sound by Austin. It sure shows his growth as Musician but it's nothing we didn't heard before. It's a song , which has a deep meaning behind it. It's about losing somebody, and if you know Austin, you know who that somebody is. That somebody is SYNCO's Layla Sanchez , who's known as the 'leader' of SYNCO but she's not. It's a raw, emotional and powerful Lyrics, which shows the world how good Austin actually is. His songwriting is just brilliant. It has , kind of, an 90's Sound which gives me some Oldschool hype , because more and more people use the sound from the past. The drums , with the guitar including his strong Voice are on point. I , myself, I'm in love with the first verse, I just love "'I know that there will be a time when the stars in the sky fade out and disappear,
And I will look to my side and you will longer be here'", it's just stuck in my head and won't leave. I don't know how he did this , but this young men is a songwriting genius!

The song ends with the Chorus, which was also incredibly written. He litereally asks you in this Chorus. He makes you think about it, which not everybody can do. As I said, he's a genius. Overall, it's a very emotional and deep song, which isn't new , as I said, everyone does this kind of songs lately. BUT. Here comes the but. It's so good written, that it makes it stand out.
And , a song which stands out, is a good song.

Henry Johanson - Tonight, Forever - Single
Review

Ezra rates 'Tonight, Forever' with 4/5 Points!
Buy Henry Johansons's debut single HERE.

Michael Brown, known as Youtuber. Michael Brown, 17 year old, known for his Youtube Covers of popular songs including from Artists like Isabel, SYNCO etc. But his most known Cover is from the newcomer Valentina Hart who's known for her smash #1 hit "Pantomime". He gave little hints for an upcoming debut single, and that's it. "Lets Not Talk About It" gained in just 2 days, 3 Million views and has currently 3.5 Million views, with about 610.000 likes. It's his most watched Video on his Channel, which his called 'YaBoyMB'. The Song was produced and written all alone by Michael Brown, and has a length of 5 Minutes and 13 seconds.

The song is about an failed relationship, the lyrics explains the pain and regret after the Relationship. Kind of schocking, that he's singing about getting high and drunk, "I'll get drunk and try to write a couple songs/Or maybe I'll just get high let's not talk about it". I mean, he's just 17, boy please. You can't even drink. Atleast not legally, but I guess kids these days don't really care. But, I also need to say he's pretty mature for his age, I wouldn't think that he's 17. But who cares? Let's just continue with the Review.

The song opens up with only a drum being heard for some seconds, before the rest of the instruments start playing. The sound is kind of relaxing, before Michaels voice starts to sing, which is really deep and there is so much emotion in it. The beat in the background doesn't really change much, there are some few changes in the Verses but nothing big. It's pretty simple. His Voice is pretty deep in the Verses but goes a little bit higher in the Chorus but back to the deep and calm notes in the verse. The song ends with an minute break, with just instruments.

I do like this song, but as I said, he's too young to talk about drugs and alcohol etc. I'm not a big fan of 'kids' acting mature, because you aren't. I don't mind emotional songs, about relationships if you're 17 but I think drugs and getting drunk is just another level. But again, that's probably just me. So, I like this song. There is not much to say. I actually wanted to be harsh this time , because The Queen Alexis said that whatever I review, I always say it's good. But whatever.

Reese Hollinsworth - STOCKHOLM - Single
Review

3 Months ago, I reviewed Reese's debut Album "Love?". I really loved it, it was better than expected. But, now. When I listen to this song, I know that his next Album is gonna be huge! The Electro-Pop song "Stockholm" made an actual impact when it got released, nobody expected such a grown-up and 'dark' song from Reese. I mean, he was kinda famous for his sex songs. And, now this came out it makes me so excited for the actual Album! The production of the song is on point, I love this dark-ish yet kinda bright sound. The heavy synthesizers, orchestral sounds and electronic beats are suiting Reese's voice so much, it makes him 'shine' on the record. Lyrically, the song explores much darker subjects than Hollinsworth’s previous work, suggesting domestic violence, Stockholm syndrome (You maybe don't know what Stockholm Syndrome actual means - It's a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors) and self-harm. While I was listening to this song, I literally got goosebumps, my heart started to beat really fast. It just gave me 'weird' feelings, in a positive way. It's just a beautiful sad ballad, and it's catchy as hell. "Stay still, stay still now/Might hurt for a lil' while/Aren't you in this for the long run?" is gonna be stuck in your head for a while.

Ezra Reviews "Stockholm" with 5/5 points!

Joziah Shreve - Cocaine - Single
Review


Joziah Shreve. I think everybody should remember his name, because I think he's gonna be bigger than many of us expect. He recently released his debut record, and it's kinda...weird? He calls it Cloud Rap and to be honest, I never heard of it but it's not really bad. The first time, when I was listening to this song, I was like : What the actual fuck. I thought I was getting pranked or something. But, later on, it was kinda on repeat for a while. I don't know why, but I really like this song! It's probably the production, because I love it. It's catchy as hell, like the beat is in my head since hours. And, the voice in the background which makes this "aye aye" sound, is really great. The whole song has a kinda spirituell aura, but the lyrics is so 'different'. I don't really get the lyrics, I can't really what it is about. I know the song is called 'Cocaine' so I guess it's about drugs. But, yeah. It's a great first song, I mainly like the production though. His rapping is not bad, but I wouldn't call it amazing. But, yeah. I think we can expect much more from him, and I believe that he's gonna come with something even better soon!
