You’ve probably heard Naomi’s work as she’s behind Odesza’s, “Higher Ground.” Her voice is so intoxicating and you can hear it for yourself behind her single that dropped last friday. “Howlin’” is that perfect song for when you are just addicted to that person you’re seeing and you can’t wait to see them again. I got to talk to Naomi behind her latest single and her plans for the year.
You Won’t Be Able To Quit Sophia Scott
Sophia Scott has the perfect mix of Southern sass and twang and this shows in her newest single, “Quit.” She’s been linked to various genres, but I think after you take a listen to her music, you’ll realize she doesn’t fit a specific mold. I was able to talk to her about the premiere of “Quit” and what else she has planned for the year.
Lauren Ruth Ward’s Hypnotizing Music Will Have You Hooked
The first time I saw Lauren Ruth Ward perform I couldn’t take my eyes off her, she commands the attention of the entire audience. She has this insane energy and the way she sings and moves on stage it’s like the music is just flowing through her and it washes over the audience captivating them. Her soulful vocals, unapologetic lyrics, and the way she performs like she’s exorcising demons from her own mind make her the rockstar we’ve desperately needed.
Gothic Tropic’s Lush 70’s Sound Is Mesmerizing
Gothic Tropic is the creation of Cecilia Della Peruti. The multi-instrumentalist that has created a lush 70’s inspired soundscapes that focus on her effortless guitar skills and dreamy voice. Her debut album Fast of Feast is the perfect example of how she blends pop and psychedelic. We caught up with her right after an electrifying set during SXSW.
Yoke Lore Is The Dreamy Music You Need
Yoke Lore is the brainchild of Adrian Galvin. The vibe is dreamy soundscapes, with driving drums and a touch of a banjo. We caught up with Adrian after a slew of shows during SXSW.
The CLOVES Album Will Be Worth The Wait
CLOVES has one of the most haunting voices I have ever heard in my life. In 2015 she released the dramatic song “Don’t Forget About Me,” and since then I’ve had a serious addiction. The way her songs build, the emotion behind her voice, they stick with you.
Findlay Is The Femme Rockstar You Need In Your Life
I’ve looped “Electric Bones” on my phone for what seems like my entire life at this point. Also, if you know me and you know this video you’ll recognize that Findlay is literally THE girl for white power suit inspiration. Natalie Findlay has toured with Iggy Pop, Karen Elson, and Brandon Flowers. She was also personally asked by Mick Jagger to play the Serpentine party in London. I just have such a soft spot for badass rockstar women. Her sound is a little rock, a little pop, a little garage and a little blues, but she’s ballsy af and cooler than I’ll ever be.
HDBeenDope Is Making A Name For Himself
Over 4,000 miles away from his home in New York, Darius Henry- AKA HDBeenDope- is about to take the stage after preparing for a 15 minute set. He sits in a hookah lounge and awaits his performance time. The slot keeps getting pushed back and he waits with anticipation. Suddenly, the promoter for the show calls HD’s DJ to say “You’ve got to do an hour!” Too many people have come just to see him perform in Paris, France. He thinks, “How the f**k am I supposed to do an hour?” when he didn’t prepare for that.

Gabi Sklar’s Shimmering Decadent Sound
Gabi Skylar started taking music seriously when she was just 14-years-old. She was taking vocal lessons and co-writing and she signed with a management team. A lot of people aren’t sure of what they want to do at that age but she was set on her decision. Now, she’s 18 and she’s never second-guessed her decision.
