Most of you probably watched ABC’s show “Boyband” in which Rita Ora, Nick Carter and Timbaland all worked to create the next sensational boyband. The four men I’m about to introduce to you all met on the show and had instant chemistry. While they weren’t the final group, Jaden Gray, Camry Jackson, Mikey Jimenez and Marcus Pendleton created their own group known as 4th Ave. Their vibes are kind of like Boyz II Men meets Brockhampton, and their lyrics relate to fans of all ages.

New Music Alert: Lo’s “Naked”
We first fell in love with Lo about a couple of months ago with “Drumline,” but I cannot express how much I love her latest, “Naked.” Vulnerability and relationships have never been my thing, but this song convinces me otherwise. It’s an invitation to be open and be real with whatever relationship you’re experiencing because in the end something great might come out of it.
Before you ask, yes she produced this herself, too. She does it all so add this to your playlist now!
My Brothers And I Talk Temporary Love
My Brothers and I popped up on a Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify a while back and since then, I’ve been drawn to their smooth, coffeehouse pop sound.

Float Fest 2018: The Heat, The Bands, The Deer Head
When I set out for San Marcos on Saturday, I expected to have an amazing time, hang out with friends, drink, enjoy the music, and have a really memorable experience in a beautiful area. That’s far from what I got at Float Fest.
KINGDM’s Dreamy Voice Will Have You Hooked
About two summers ago, I had this song, “Baby” on all my playlists. It’s really come full circle with the artist I’m about to rave to you about.

Seriously, if you aren’t already listening to him you need to start right now.
New Music Alert: Lewis Capaldi’s Tough
If Lewis Capaldi isn’t a household name on your playlists, he should be. Niall Horan is a fan, Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds of Summer is a fan, and even the soulful Sam Smith loves the guy. Once you hear his music, it’s no surprise he’s infections. His single, “Tough” dropped recently and he told me about it plus his other plans for the rest of the year.

Dreamy And Haunting Soundscapes From Sam Valdez
One of the things I love most about music is its ability to transport you somewhere through sound. Listening to Sam Valdez’s debut EP, Mirage, feels like driving through the desert at night with your windows down. It lives somewhere in between reality and dreams. Inspired by 90’s shoegaze and Americana legends, she mixes raw emotion with ethereal guitar riffs that blend together in a hazey perfection.

I’m a sucker for feel-good pop music and with CAPPA, I got exactly that.

Just listen to her music and meet your latest obsession.
