Kayla Oh is an up and coming indie singer-songwriter studying contemporary voice at NYU. At just 19 years old, she has developed a stark, diaristic writing style that captures the experience of being a teenage girl: navigating first loves, overcoming heartbreak, grappling with insecurity and comparison, and simultaneously never wanting the teenage dream to end. These themes are the heart of Kayla's songwriting and storytelling, helping her create music that is both achingly relatable and memorable. Her style is inspired by songwriting legends like Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers, and Stevie Nicks. Kayla admires and strives for the sort of writing that these women embraced, the kind that is unapologetically honest about womanhood while also being free from the pressure to remain "polite" or "ladylike". Though Kayla is a teenage girl and aims to write on behalf of them, a variety of listeners will connect with her lyrics and get hooked on her catchy melodies in a way that will make bad high school boyfriends seem universal.   Kayla is super excited to share her debut single, "See Through", set to release on October 6th. Here's what she had to say about it: "I wrote 'See Through' about a relationship that ended right before we both went to college. It delves into that confusing feeling you experience when trying to move on from a person, where one moment it feels like you've fully healed and the next it feels like you've taken 10 steps backwards. At the time that I wrote the song, I was kept incredibly busy by the adjustment period that is starting college, and felt as if I'd healed from the breakup. The truth was, I had never really processed my heartbreak- and the healing I thought I'd felt was just the relief of being distracted. Writing 'See Through' was the first time I admitted to myself that I wasn't as put together as I hoped to be. The result was a cathartic confession, and some of my most stark and relatable writing. Though I've come a long way in my healing since I wrote this song, I'm still really proud of what I was able to articulate then and hope the vulnerability I tapped into consoles listeners like it did for me".

Jordin Sparks has signed with Epidemic Sound. The deal kicks off with a collection of Christmas songs that we are playing here today.

Taking inspiration from Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and the pop princesses who soundtracked her childhood and teen years, Arden Alexa's unique sound has been developed by infusing her own quirky and youthful indie style into the upbeat anthems she knows and loves. Born and raised in San Francisco, Arden spent the after-school hours of her high school years cutting her teeth in the Bay Area music scene. Her debut single, 2021's "The Coast" was the world's first glimpse of her artistic ability. This was followed by 2022's "Day Dreams", Arden's first full-length project: A six-song EP that truly welcomes you into her universe of raw vocals and deeply personal lyricism. Since embarking on her journey as a full-time artist in June of 2022, Arden has been focused on polishing her craft and finding her sound, while also amassing over 20 thousand social media followers in the process.  With the releases of her latest songs, "Hello" and "Stupid Boy", Arden has proved her versatility and maturity as an indie artist.   Arden is super excited to share her new single + music video for "Petty Bitch", set to release on October 20th!Here's what she had to say about it: "After a dramatic friend breakup left me feeling both sad and angry, I needed an outlet to help me get over the grief of losing my childhood best friend. My solution came in the form of this song. What began as just a joke (being mean to anyone is wildly out of character for me) quickly turned into a sort of therapy for me, a way to channel my anger into something so outrageously fun that I was able to work through my feelings about the situation. So, when listeners find that being the bigger person or wallowing in their grief isn't working, I hope they can turn on this song, scream the lyrics (either privately in their room or directly at the person), and move on!”.

 At just 17 years old, New York City native Izzy Pingrey is using music as a diary to document her coming-of-age journey in real time. She first picked up songwriting at 13 during the loneliness of pandemic lockdowns, using it as an emotional outlet. Now a high school senior preparing to release her debut EP junior, Izzy's confessional lyrics and energetic sound provide a vulnerable lens into the revelations and relationships of adolescence.   The four tracks on junior were all written and produced with her father during Izzy's junior year of high school. The songs encapsulate the emotional whiplash of firsts that come with the teenage years. “sick of it” is about learning to stand up for herself, "narcissus" reflects on leaving behind old relationships, while "flatline" explores falling in love for the first time. “perfume” and its accompanying music video celebrate the close bonds of friendship and going out with her girls. As EARMILK raved about "flatline", "With its irresistible hooks and Izzy's signature fervor, the track invites listeners into a world where vulnerability is celebrated and authenticity reigns supreme."   Though sonically diverse, each song on junior finds a home in the evocative whirlwind the EP explores. The collection pays homage to the quintessential experiences of young adulthood. junior provides a poetic musical diary of Izzy's life so far, offering a cathartic release of emotion that will resonate with listeners navigating the common stumbles of adolescence.   Izzy is beyond excited to share her debut EP  junior  and the music video for "perfume"that are out now! Here's what she had to say about the project: "Each song on this project represents specific events or emotions that I felt for the first time during my junior year of high school. Being 16 and 17 is (and was) an extremely pivotal time for me- I learned how to stand up for myself (sick of it, narcissus) I fell in love (flatline) and went to my first party and became even closer with some wonderful people (perfume), all for the first time. It was also in this time that I truly began to write and record music that I wanted to put out, that I wanted to give people a chance to hear and to connect with. The songs on 

Liv Hanna kicked off the summer with the fiery track, "Back To Hell." The songstress now returns to close out the fall with her new single, "Lonely." Similarly to "Back To Hell," Liv Hanna puts her unique, distinctive twist on the Pop genre. "lonely" may best be viewed as an Alt-Pop/Dark Pop record, but the song is more eclectic as it features synths, the ebb and flow of up-tempo and downtempo sounds, and has elements drawn from Electropop, Pop Rock, etc. The subject matter of "lonely" may be gleaned from the title, but the song is deeper than the title suggests. The song is about the more imperfect and seemingly perfect life. "'Lonely' takes you behind the scenes of someone's life that people think is perfect." Liv Hanna continues, "It highlights the club scene and life of a socialite who's always out on the town, but feels immense loneliness." "lonely" illustrates how many put up a facade, or use a party or an ostentatious lifestyle to hide their pain, fear, angst, etc. The song cleverly uses contrasting sounds to perfectly depict the story that Liv Hanna penned through the mix of flashy, wavy sounds and soft, somber tones. Renowned producer Jake Sonderman was enlisted by Liv Hanna to craft the infectious record. "lonely" really demonstrates the versatility that Liv Hanna possesses, and showcases her creative, introspective/extrospective songwriting and powerful, mellifluous vocals. "lonely" may be a standalone single, but it is a prelude to what's to come. Liv Hanna already has multiple releases scheduled to set off the new year. At only 20 years old, the rising sensation is just getting started. Press play and put "lonely" on repeat.

Vessna is super excited to share the first single off this forthcoming record, "BUTTER", (+ the accompanying visualizer) set to release This Friday, September 29th! With mesmerizing vocal harmonies, shimmering 90's to early 2000's synths, and an 80's club backbeat, 'BUTTER' drops you right into the feeling of swooning when you see your crush under the disco ball at the roller rink. Overtaken with feeling, you can't help but brave your skates and make your way over to them, hoping you become 'smooth like butter.' "This song is inspired by a desire to feel playful, fun, sexy, and confident while navigating being a caregiver during the pandemic. I wrote 'BUTTER' inspired by Adult Skate Night (unofficially known as Black Skate Night at rinks throughout the U.S.) as a dreamscape of the freedom found on the rink" Vessna says. Together with her collaborator Lee Clarke, Scheff builds an electrifying current glistening with the anticipation and rush of pushing off the rink wall, and gliding into your confidence.

Los Angeles, CA- With their dreamy, dark, sensual sound, Arula & Quiet Son form a duo whose music combines the qualities of urban electronica, dance, and experimental folk with an infusion of melodic pop sensibilities. Initially starting as a remote song collaboration between the two California artists & producers, the project blossomed into a fully realized LP that winds through self-discovery, reclamation, climate consciousness, and romantic vulnerability. In just over a year, Arula & Quiet Son have played shows throughout California, touring with acts like Random Rab & Desert Dwellers. The first single and title track from their debut album, "Found", premieres April 18 with a stunning video (directed by Jade Sanchez of Earth Based Media) that explores the power and direct connection between the feminine and nature.   Both artists are super excited to share their track + music video for "Found" Here's what they had to say about it: "'Found' is a reclamation of the power that can only be harnessed from within. It is an ode to anyone who has ever felt lost, confused, or like they don't fit in. It is a reminder that we can always be found within ourselves, and within the receptive energy of nature and earth" -Arula Quiet Son elaborates: “The production of this song is really special to me. It was such a unique challenge because when I heard the initial demo I realized the message of the song is so clear that I had to make sure the production supported Arula's vision precisely. It was an exploration in creating and subsequently releasing tension: to build the sound around Arula's vocals as the song's message evolves from self-doubt into complete reclamation, empowerment, and ecstasy. It was fun to let that huge bass synth take over in the last chorus; I think it really opens the song up and symbolizes the feeling of relief and blessing we can feel when we give ourselves permission to take control of our lives and destinies.” Arula continues: “Our hope is that this song reminds you that you are powerful and enough, just because you exist. May you always feel found within yourself.”   Arula Instagram                                                                Quiet Son Instagram Arula Spotify                                                                     Quiet Son Spotify

Sis is a Los Angeles, CA-based artist (originally from the DMV) who began singing and dancing at the age of 7 in her grandfather's church in Alexandria, VA. Growing up in a musical family, and having been taught to play the classical piano at the age of 8 by her cousin, Dt Lamont, songwriting and performing came naturally to her. Being somewhat shy, Sis always found confidence and refuge in the comfort of poetry and songwriting and developed an inseparable relationship with music. She became interested in the recording arts after completing her first job at 9, doing voiceover work for BET commercials. She first sang on studio recordings in a high school acapella group, Flint Hill Major Minors, and continued her early career as a recording artist with commissioned projects such as theme music for local radio shows and comedians, and songs for local special events. While studying art in college, she started two gospel groups with childhood friends, REIGN & His City, and began performing across the DMV area. In 2015, Sis won 1st place at Amateur Night at the legendary Apollo Theater in NYC and instantly knew she was born to perform. After moving to Los Angeles, Sis continued performing as a world-touring background vocalist, working with prominent artists such as Kelela. Her songwriting centers around love, self-affirmation, and a return to the natural world in a modern life filled with virtual realities.

A poet at heart, Anna Elyse is a singer/songwriter/producer who draws inspiration from prolific songwriters like Neil Young and looks to modernize her sound with influences from producers like No ID, Mike Dean, and Illangelo. "I always found solace in music, especially when I connected to the stories. And I hope to provide that for someone else." After graduating from UCLA, with a concentration in Creative Writing, Poetry, she went on to Audio Engineering School and found that one of her very favorite places to be were in the studio. She was used to spending many hours in the dance studio growing up, and stepping into the recording studio was like slipping into an immersive world she knew she fit. She worked behind the scenes in recording studios and serendipitously ended up on a few prominent hip-hop albums. But, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that she decided to let go of her reservations and release her own music. Her self-produced and mixed debut single, "Trading Glances" landed her on several upcoming folk-pop playlists.

Izzy Pingrey is a 16-year-old singer-songwriter from New York City. She writes and produces her music with her dad in his studio with their dog. Izzy listens to a lot of music- an amount that has been referred to by many as "perplexing," consuming an eclectic mix of genres. She once listened to a Taylor Swift song and a Limp Bizkit song immediately back to back. Izzy enjoys messing around with these musical interests to create her own hybrids of them to tell the stories of her personal experiences. She has been writing music since she was 13 years old and started producing it when she was 15.   Izzy is super excited to share her debut single "sick of it" set to release this Friday, April 28th. Here's what she had to say about the songwriting process: "'sick of it' is about many-a-situationship that has absolutely exploded in my face. Getting too emotionally invested in something that isn't actually real has happened to literally every single one of my friends. I really wanted to take those teenage feelings and write the song that I've needed to hear more than once".

Her newest track, "Stupid Boy", and the accompanying music video made in collaboration with her best friends is an ode to high school boys and the solo prom nights that (may or may not) follow.   Arden is excited to share her new single + music video for "Stupid Boy", set to release on March 31st.Here's what she had to say about the songwriting process: "Let's be honest, high school boys can be clueless about romance. After experiencing this firsthand with a particularly dramatic unrequited love, I wrote this song as an ode to high school boys. While channeling fun synth-pop from the 80s mixed with the indie music of today, the lyrics of this song say all of the things that I never had the chance to say to the boys I've loved". https://www.ardenalexa.com/

Black love is important to me, and I want everything I do to reflect that."

Andorra's 2019 album Family Tree took itself very seriously. After successfully self-producing, mixing, and mastering their third full-length LP, the long-standing Philadelphia band found themselves exhausted and instantly misplacing energy on new projects. Members of Andorra went on to tour with Bright Eyes and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, joined local groups Box of Books and The Retinas, and jump-started classic rock cover bands. This gave Andorra a much-needed pause. As the rage from the pandemic slowed, Andorra picked back up where they left off and found that “thing” that contributed to 10+ years of relentlessly ripping through dive bars… having fun. The guys teamed up with musician Tommy Leahy of Wildflower Studios in Glenside, PA to produce their forthcoming swampy, Memphis-influenced rock record, Boogie Night Blues. “We rediscovered our love for this band. We didn't nitpick or think too hard about arrangements. Anything that felt right, we just went for it. For the first time, we captured the energy of the live set onto an album. This one is raw, punchy, and will make you want to dance,” says lead singer Kevin McCall. From the Grease-flavored shuffle of pre-release single “Guts” to revved-up energy on “Hidden Desires”, Boogie Night Blues proves Andorra's chemistry as a live act and their commitment to rock and roll, making it their best record yet. Andorra also recently released a documentary commemorating their first 10 years as a band directed by Mike Scioli, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJAW04_EqFs&ab_channel=andorramusic Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/10wix0WMI7uyOxA8gOKIzS?si=dOm2G5YFQoGMT8NSOxj7Vw Soundcloud Pre-Release Album Stream: https://soundcloud.com/andorramusic/sets/boogie-night-blues/s-E6fpMQAOET0?si=9a6a4c8cd03d415cbd2c1d6efe0d9ff6&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Bandcamp: https://andorramusic.bandcamp.com/album/boogie-night-blues-2

Great Time doesn't want to fit in a box. Living up to their name, the band wants to have a great time making the music they like. Tired of being advised to "pick a lane" by some of their industry peers, Great Time sets out to create music that celebrates their wide-ranging sound, incorporating genres like synth-pop, electronic, jazz, punk, rock, and R&B. Their most recent releases are a series of EPs titled “Sounds Like ____.” The band had the idea to turn the EP titles into a Mad Libs type of game "so that someone could put their adjective or descriptor for the EP in the blank space," explains singer/multi-instrumentalist Jill Ryan. The projects explore some different sounds and styles influencing Great Time. “Some people thought [our 2018 debut LP] Great Album was all over the place, so with the ‘Sounds Like' series, we decided to lean even further into our multi-genre tendencies and place the option of categorizing or putting us in a box on the listener.” True to their vision, each EP carries a different sound. On Vol. 1, Great Time creates a blissed-out atmosphere with R&B and neo-soul melodies. For Vol. 2, the band zones in on its electronic and pop influences, creating a livelier atmosphere that feels ripe for dancing. Whereas Vol. 3 shows a guitar-heavy, more traditionally rock-sounding side to the three-piece group, ranging from punk to acoustic folk.

The Tisburys: Formed in 2015 by singer-songwriter Tyler Asay and lead guitarist John Domenico, the indie rock/power pop band has continued to evolve in the passing years.

Phantasm is a Philly-based heavy, alternative-rock band producing intricate, melodic songs in avant-garde stylings reminiscent of Muse, Royal Blood, Tool, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their latest single, Spirit Box (Tuned To You), is set to release Friday, June 10, 2022, on all major streaming platforms. The song was inspired by real-life experiences using a spirit box to connect with the metaphysical in this dimension and the world beyond. The device receives messages of spiritual entities woven through a musical pattern, emitting rhythmic bursts with distinct chopping and fragmented AM radio signals. Although experimenting with the gadget may have been the original inspiration for the song, Spirit Box (Tuned To You), is a metaphor and commentary on the digital age we live in today. Originally hailing from Western New York, Phantasm first hit the music scene in 2003 and later relocated to Philadelphia, PA. With onstage exploits, such as sampling their music live and using power tools as instruments, the band's explosive performance has taken innovation to a new level. They balance a sophisticated, avant-garde metal edge with a powerful, straightforward rock foundation. After releasing their last album, Phantasm has spent the last two years writing an album demonstrating their refined approach to a progressive 90's rock sound.

At only 18 years old, Bella Rios already has a musical past life. After years of exclusively performing covers, she spent her high school years releasing rock-leaning originals, inspired by the classic records she was raised on. “My parents would wake me up by playing Led Zeppelin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac,” Rios says. “It brought my family together.” At the same time, she traveled and performed with professional children's choirs; all while receiving classical training in both voice and piano. However, her diverse musical background led to a bit of an artistic identity crisis, which inspired her to attempt songwriting in every imaginable genre, determined to find her sound. Bella's upcoming singles are the successful products of that process: moody, powerhouse pop songs with an edge. bellarios.com

Archpalatine - One of the freshest new artistic voices standing out amongst the backdrop of the City of Brotherly Love's many multi-faceted and musically talented artists. Archpalatine the singer, songwriter, pianist, performer, and charismatic band front-man Derek Anthony Wilson is poised to not only create a lane for himself and his bandmates (Anthony Pompey - vocals, Aaron Wolf - percussion, Ben High – bass, and John Palmer - Synths/Direction) but also blaze a trail for creative risk-takers, soulful storytellers, and theatrical musicians who challenge the old guard of musical gatekeepers. Wilson is a classically trained concert vocalist, National Marian Anderson Historical Society scholar artist, and internationally touring musician whose accolades both on and off-stage are only rivaled by his desire to use his musical platform and gifts to initiate and support social change, engaging spirit, and talent, and course ambitions within the musical landscape. With a penchant for beautifully and seamlessly blending genres, Archpalatine sires a sound that is just as difficult to pigeonhole into one category as it is to forget. Archpalatine breaks down the genre to create a new sound that may eloquently and appropriately be called “Histrionic Cosmic Soul”. The feel-good music gifted to the audience at an Archpalatine show offers a long-time abandoned experience that can be enjoyed by every group of people from all walks of life, every taste in entertainment, all preferences and interests, and moves the soul, be it in the form of smiles on faces to dancing out of your seat. Archpalatine infuses his musical presentations with theatrics traditionally reserved for stage shows and are reminiscent of large-scale Broadway features — be they performed on a grand scale, in intimate rooms, or at the trendiest outlets. Performances by this musical powerhouse develop a rapport with the audience, encourage audience participation through call & response, and incorporate danceable rhythms.

Songs from the album have been played over radio stations across the east coast, including Philadelphia's iHeartRadio (Alt 104.5) and NPR (WXPN 88.5), who consequently included Menaker in the “2020 Best of Philly: Pandemic Edition.” Now based in Philadelphia, Menaker has performed in 50+ cities around the country.
