"Dispirited"
21 JUL TRACK REVIEW: HENDRIX – DISPIRITED
No, it’s not that Hendrix, but you probably worked that out for yourselves. That said, the very fact that Ian Hendrix has the confidence to use his surname, a surname that is inextricably linked with one of the most famous musicians of all time, should tell you something about the confidence with which he approaches music making.
Hendrix- Dispirited
“Dispirited” is rich with futuristic sounds and a stunning multi-layered soundscape. In this track, Hendrix has collaborated with the talented vocalist Katie Shorey. Her sensitive and expressive vocal performance adds to the poignancy of this track.
HENDRIX "DISPIRITED" EPISODE 3 SINGLE & VIDEO REVIEW - ELECTRONIC POP!
Hendrix is that rare modern artist with wide-screen ideas and news of a new clip from him is always a cause for celebration. His songs are the kind of intelligent, well-executed pop the world needs and use both electronic and traditional sounds to make their magic happen.
Rescuing musical virtue in distress.
Dispirited – Ian Hendrix (reviewed by Dave Franklin)
Musically it takes the modern pop-dance format and boils it down to the bare essentials, a great beat, an instantly accessible hook, sleek and stylish vocals and then dresses it back up again with intriguing electronic motifs, pulsing bass lines and a great dynamic wave that ebbs and flows through out the song.
HENDRIX – DISPIRITED (EPISODE 3)
The actual narrative is enigmatic, with strange alien creatures in homeostasis/incubation containers on a strange spaceship. We get the sense that this is foreshadowing to something which will be revealed later. Really though when it comes to this song/episode, it’s not so much about the intricate details of the story but about the overall ambiance. The mood and the emotion are what the viewer connects with in these pieces.

"Release"
IAN HENDRIX "RELEASE" SINGLE REVIEW - MODERN ELECTRONIC POP!
Single and video review by Mike O’Cull, independent music journalist. www.mikeocull.com
Ian Hendrix is a guitarist, songwriter, and producer based in California who has developed a highly-individualized creative style. A former member of the United States Marine Corps, Hendrix makes music that is futuristic and anachronistic all at once. He uses electronic and organic sounds as well as anything else that stimulates his soul to arrive at a style that is both fresh and familiar. His latest single, “Release,” drops March 12th, 2019. The track is a delicious bit of modern atmospheric pop built on pulsating synths and a hip-shaking bassline and is an excellent introduction to his world for the uninitiated....
Hendrix - Release
The second installment of a unique video series from an engaging, charismatic artist.
Hendrix is back on the scene with a brand new track titled “Release.” This song is actually the second episode of the “Hendrix” video series, which also includes the first one, “Dreams Fade.”
HENDRIX – RELEASE (EPISODE 2)
Release is the name of the second single by musical artist and former marine, Ian Hendrix. The song features Katie Shorey (a notable singer formerly signed to Interscope Records) on vocals. Produced by Robert Heibach and Ian Hendrix at Del Oro Music Studios, the song presents as a kind of fantasy electronique musical adventure. Beautifully and passionately sung yet deeply enigmatic lyrics which occasionally express despair (and take a turn for the dark) are backed by a vibrant and action packed synthpop beat. The bleak atmosphere is transcended by the emotionally moving vocals and surreal tone. This dynamic gives the track a duality, but it goes beyond that....

Hendrix - Dreams Fade
"His music is unique and filled with anachronisms. Sometimes in the present and other times in an era far away –- possibly long ago or in a time yet to come. But, who is this music maker who takes the songs in his head and generates heartfelt lyrics and pounding beats that palpitate the souls of those who give an ear? " - read more from SRL and vote
