Music Single Review: "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" By My Silent Bravery 3 Boomboxes "...  My Silent Bravery’s cover is a lively version of that experience with spirited vocals and an upbeat instrumental — as seems fitting for the lyrical content." Cover of Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill in Ibiza” Released:  April 8, 2022 Length:  2:49 Genre:  Pop, Electronic Written by:  Mike Posner Produced by:  (original) Mike Posner & Martin Terefe.  (Cover) My Silent Bravery      To produce a cover of a track, to respect the artist one covers while showcasing one’s talents, all without ruining the attributes which inspired the cover to begin, and then to put it out there to a world who already heard and enjoyed the original, is seldom easy. It’s nerve-racking. My Silent Bravery takes up this task in their cover of Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill In Ibiza.” They succeed with hearty vocals and immense energy to out-do and out-entertain the bland original and trite SEED remix of “I

Music Single Review:"Blue Collar" By Kevin McCoy Band 4 Boomboxes "“Blue Collar” by Kevin McCoy Band is an American track emphasizing the American working class."

Music Single Review: "Forever My Love" By Ed Sheeran Ft. J Balvin 4 Boomboxes " In many respects,  "Forever My Love"  is the counterbalance to Ed Sheeran and J Balvin's track " Segue ."" Single from album Sigue/Forever My Love   Released: March 25, 2022   Length: 3:46   Genre: Latin Urbano, Pop, Acoustic Written by: J Balvin, Ed Sheeran  Produced by:   J Balvin, Ed Sheeran      In many respects, "Forever My Love" is the counterbalance to Ed Sheeran and J. Balvin 's track " Segue ." For one, it's a soft, intimate love song. Sheeran's opening line in Spanish is, "The light in your gaze, your beautiful walk, there's no-one like you." Second, its instrumental are heartfelt acoustic guitars with as many harmonies as Sheeran's and Balvin's vocals harmonies. Third, the intermingling of Spanish and English is smoother here; there are none of the engineering tricks that are prevalent in Segue
