You don’t really think of Reddit as a place where pop stars are found, but that’s exactly where singer and songwriter Sasha Sloan was discovered. “My parents were painting the outside of our house and when they got to my window they wrote ‘dork’ in massive letters pointing to it, so I posted it online and it made it to the first page of Reddit. So then I posted my SoundCloud link in the comments and a couple weeks later I was signed as a writer,” explained Sloan.
Ivy Rei is the Norwegian pop star you need to know about now. Her song “Say It to My Face” the song starts out soft and acoustic and builds to a powerful chorus that highlights her effortless voice. We talked to her about what has been inspiring her lately and her amazing new music.
It seems rare these days to see a band that doesn’t have some sort of synthesizer on stage with them. The evolution of electronic music has bled seamlessly into pop, rock, rap, and indie music making it possible to replicate a variety of preconstructed beats and sounds. But California rock group, The Jacks, have made a conscious decision to stick with a more straightforward approach; “Our goal is to never have a computer on stage,” said bassist, Scott Stone, quickly adding, “Not that there’s anything wrong with bands who do that, we just really want to just keep it to four guys and four instruments.”
I was instantly hooked on Zyles after listening to his song “Sundresses” the song is shimmering pop at its finest and is perfect for those late summer hangs. We chatted with Zyles about his latest inspirations.
Renee Olstead grew up in Texas. The sultry songstress grew up around the classics and it shows in not only her amazing style (just check Instagram) but in her music and her mellifluous voice. She eventually made the jump to LA where her acting and singing career took off.
Ella Knox is fearless. She released her empowering song “Revolution” about being bullied and pulling yourself back up after being knocked down. We talked to her about what has been inspiring her lately and the meaning behind her music.
In the world of music, ten years can be a lifetime. Methods, themes, ideas, and trends may come and go, but time can also help fine tune artists’ vision and mission. The Revivalists journey is a prime example of staying the course and reaping the benefits of consistent hard work.
LOVA has been getting a ton of attention with her dreamy music. She talks about feminism and body positivity in a way that’s honest and relatable. She’s playing alongside Zara Larsson, ALMA, and Icona Pop at the Queens of Pop festival in Sweden and is bound to be a hit. We talked to the up-and-coming artist about overcoming her insecurities and the inspiration behind her songs.
I’ll be honest, I listen to a lot of songs. I feel like it can be easy to be jaded by music and say everything sounds the same, but I’m being completely honest when I say I cannot stop listening to Felicity’s song “Pilot with a Fear of Heights.” The title caught my attention and the chorus quickly became stuck in my head. I listened to it on loop all day.
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.
