Crazy
The idea of this song was from a middle school crush. This was very first production from being a year out of High School.
Tropical Paradise
This song is about going to your happy place and escaping everyday life. This had one of my favorite lyrics I created and I just had to put it to music.

Overall Impression
Sapphire6's (Account on RadioAirplay.com) electrifying track "Crazy" is a powerhouse fusion of genres that packs an undeniable punch, blending anthemic pop, infectious electronica, and thunderous rock into one dynamic sonic experience. From the get-go, the track seizes the listener’s attention, pulling them into a whirlwind of grit-infused guitars and arpeggiated synth ideas, creating a sound that builds in intensity with every bar. The seamless interweaving of pop hooks and body-swaying electronica provides a sugary coating over the gritty rock core, delivering a track that feels both fresh and exhilarating. As the song surges forward, the pulsating beats create an infectious groove that moves your body, while the chest-rattling overdrive of the guitars grounds the track in an earth-shaking rock energy. It’s a rip-roaring anthem that doesn’t just stay in your head, but ignites the very atmosphere it inhabits, urging listeners to throw their fists in the air and shout along.
Strongest Point(s)
At the heart of this sonic whirlwind is Sapphire6’s commanding, charismatic vocal performance. With an unmistakable blend of attitude and energy, the artist's voice surges through the track like an electric current. The power behind each note is palpable, effortlessly navigating through soaring choruses and gritty verses that feel both emotionally charged and fiercely confident. This vocal energy is complemented by the track’s dynamic arrangement—sharp, melody-infused synth elements soar through the mix, creating a feeling of euphoric intensity, while texture-creating pads build layers of atmosphere. The swirling electronics are juxtaposed with a rock-solid foundation of pounding drums and gnashing distorted guitars, producing a soundscape that is as expansive as it is intimate. This tension between styles—the melodic sweetness of pop, the movement of electronica, and the raw power of rock—perfectly reflects the themes of the track itself, making "Crazy" a thrilling rollercoaster from start to finish.
Target Audience Appeal
"Crazy" is an electrifying alternative-inspired pop-rock track and lovers of the genre will find it to be a worthwhile listening experience.

Overall Impression
Sapphire6 (Account on RadioAirplay.com) applies sunny pop sensibilities to reggae rhythms, on her release of "Tropical Paradise". This track features a vibrant and vivacious sound, provided by shimmering organs, skanking guitars and walking bass playing overtop a one-drop groove. Joyful vocals express themes of relaxation and recreation, reinforced by sparkling harmonies and punctuated by bright brass hits as they transport the listener away to a refreshing respite. Both reggae fans and trop-pop enthusiasts alike will enjoy the exuberant sound and summertime vibe of Sapphire6's "Tropical Paradise".
Strongest Point(s)
Outstanding production and a great sounding mix. Excellent tonal balance and use of stereo space. Love the quirky intro, draws the listener's interest with the filtered guitar diminished chords. Gorgeous instrumentation, the different elements blend extremely well. Drums sound great, terrific one-drop beat. Tremendous vocal performance; a unique and captivating style and delivery, and the harmony stacks sound amazing. Lyrics are vivid and descriptive, and they do a wonderful job of conveying the feeling of relaxation and vacation. Nice long fade at the end. This is a really fun tune from top to bottom, and could have commercial and sync applications as well due to its subject matter and very specific themes. Stellar work, all around!
