Only eighteen and already making a huge statement, Izzy Escobar stuns with a gorgeous new video for her song “Broken Wings”. A Massachusetts native, Escobar is making waves with her powerful voice and uplifting outlook on transforming pain into something healing and beautiful, and reminding us that “the hardships that we, as humans, endure allow us to fly with ‘Broken Wings’.”
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. With their new EP set to release later this year, the group is starting to play several shows and I got to speak to vocalist David Wurgler about what’s next for the group now.
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. While he’s yet to release an EP or LP, chances are you’ve definitely heard KINGDM’s smooth voice. He’s steadily dropping new hits so we want to get all the details before his next single! 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.

We’re a little obsessed with New Schematics, they’ve just been churning out bop after bop this year. Their new single “Automatic” is summer-ready. The song instantly hooks you and is definitely going to put you in a good mood.
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.
New Music Alert: CAPPA
I’m a sucker for feel-good pop music and with CAPPA, I got exactly that. This confident, powerful artist dropped her latest single, “Tension” a couple of weeks ago and it’s the perfect addition to my summer playlist. Seriously, she needs no introduction. Just listen to her music and meet your latest obsession.
ZZ Ward Is Paving Her Own Path
There’s not a lot of artists that have a sound as striking as ZZ Ward. I was first introduced to her through her 2012 album Til The Casket Drops. I couldn’t stop listening to it.
