Dark-pop is by far my favorite genre of music. It has all the elements of pop that I love, hook-driven and synthy but there’s that wonderful underlying melancholy that draws me in. CXLOE is one of the newest names in the genre and she brings that edginess that I crave and of all the artists she could have said inspired her, she surprises me by saying, “Taylor Swift.”

Youngblood has the energy that kind of sparks a room. From the moment we met, I knew she was going to be an artist I’d add to my playlist. Her music is pretty moody with an electric pulse…think Lana del Rey mixed with Nancy Sinatra. Seriously, whatever she’s doing just works. I got to see her in LA as she prepped for her EP dropping in just a few weeks.

Rotana is courageous as she is talented. Her music takes us into her own personal journey of exploration of religion, sexuality, national identity and more. I loved getting to know this songstress and I cannot wait for you to get to know her, too. We talked about life and music and she’s definitely going to be on your playlists this year.
