It’s easy to distract yourself from heartbreak when you’re out and about. You can spend time with friends, kiss that new boy, go to that bar you’ve always wanted to try but he thought was too girly, but it’s not as easy when you get home and have to sleep alone. Kat Saul sums this up perfectly with her new single “Unit 408.”
Heather Morgan’s Borrowed Heart
Heather Morgan had a pretty traditional start, she grew up playing open mic nights and had a band in college, but her impressive songwriting catalog really gives her an edge. She’s worked for all the big shots in country music but now she’s breaking out on her own. She has a ton of passion and ambition and she made it clear that country needs to make more room for female artists. She spoke to us about her new album and why she’ll always call Texas home.
Parish f/t Makes Pop Music For Rock Stars
Lincoln Parish, formerly of Cage the Elephant recently began a solo project he dubbed Parish f/t. He says it was an accident, and it was just a musical lab that worked. The project works on unintended results for a greater effect by bringing a group of vocalists where the sum is greater than the parts. Parish still remains close to his roots, but this project is just an evolution of his career as he’s constantly seeking to expand his horizons. It’s pop music for rock stars and celebrates collaborations.
Rodes Rollins: The Cowgirl Poet
I love a Spaghetti Western vibe, and Rodes Rollins has that in spades, but what I love more is a story. Rodes has a beautiful way of turning her songs into little stories that come off as dreamy little morsels. We talked to her about cowgirl poetry, her song “Mystery Man” and her best advice for young women.
CXLOE Is Our New Dark Pop Queen
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.”
Yoshi Flower Isn’t Paranoid
Hailing from Detroit, Yoshi Flower has the most unique chill vibe but with his own electronic and hip hop flair. His cool demeanor and catchy lyrics are what makes him a perfect accompaniment as he joins SG Lewis on his fall tour. Prior to taking off the road, we got to speak to the artist about his start and what to expect on tour.
New Music Alert: ZOLA
ZOLA’s voice is smooth and soulful. She sings with every emotion on her sleeve and if her EP is anything like her two most recent singles, it’s sure to be incredible. At just 22-years old, she’s multi-talented and very much an old soul. We got to talk about “Everything I Know” and we cannot wait until it’s released!
NoMBe’s Soulful Voice Will Have You Hooked
NoMBe has been on his way up. He’s caught the attention of everyone from Pharrell to Kylie Jenner and his music is so gorgeous it’s easy to see why. We talked to him about upcoming projects and what’s been inspiring him lately.
Corinne Bates: Too Sad To Fall Asleep
Corinne Bates is a dream. The Timothee Chalamet lookalike has a voice that will surprise you and lyrics that sound like they were taken directly from her diary, partly because they were. With her debut EP release, she’s putting it all out there and she’s never been more vulnerable but that’s also where she finds her strength. We talked to our favorite new sad queen about her stunning debut.
Jessie Munro Talks Breakups And New Music
Jessie Munro’s latest EP may be one of my favorites this year. It perfectly combines classic sounds with a modern twist, but more impressively, she made the EP with the help of her ex, the same ex the EP is about. If that seems crazy, it is, but nothing has made more sense to me. Sometimes the people that hurt us the most do so because they understand us the most.
