Check out the track going nowhere by Berlue, an indie/alternative artist based out of Nashville, TN. You’ll like if you love indie rock from the late 90’s. The track deals with depression and comes off a six song EP that will be released late this summer called A Flooding Within You.

Tell me about how your song came about.

“‘going nowhere’ is about failure and feeling like I haven’t been able to live up to the dreams I had when I was a kid. I was taking a lunch break while recording my other songs and while strumming on the guitar I was struck with the chorus melody and lyrics. The rest of it came together really quickly but I tweaked it for months before the energy felt just right.”

Artists that have a big influence on me include Snow Patrol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, early Coldplay, and newer artists like beabadoobee & Soccer Mommy.

It seems like you quickly found yourself on Spotify Editorial Playlists like Fresh Finds

I have no idea how my music was selected for Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Rock but it has been a huge honor to have been selected for those amazing playlists. Spotify even made me the cover of Fresh Finds Rock for a while and it’s been amazing to be on playlists that I have been listening to for years.

What’s your favorite platform to connect with fans?

I find that it’s easier to have more personal and meaningful engagement with people on instagram but TikTok is definitely easier to get my music in front of more people.

Kris Angelis drops the piano ballad Win The Game. You’ll love if you want a haunting piano ballad which is played by Dave Eggar (Coldplay, Beyoncé, Pearl Jam, Ray Lamontagne).

“I write and sing songs about heartache and hope with the storytelling and instrumentation of Folk, with some electric elements and pop influence” says Kris.

Her 2020 EP, “THAT SIREN, HOPE,” debuted at #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts, topped Billboard’s Top Current Albums Chart and was on the first-round ballot for the 2021 GRAMMY Awards. She also played a variety of acting roles on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006), Sister Mary’s Angel (2011) and Visible Scars (2012).

Look out for indie folk songstress Sidney Bird and her new self discovery anthem On Brand. Think Maggie Rogers, Florence Welsh and Kacey Musgraves.

Born and raised in Arizona, Bird holds her own in the western pop scene. A true crossover act, she feels a strong creative impulse when home in Arizona, writing all of her songs there before fleshing them out with producers in Brooklyn. “I grew up listening to Barenaked Ladies, Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell,” says Bird. “Then became obsessed with Katy Perry, Britney Spears––all the popstars.”

Bird’s background in comedy and musical theater has led to storytelling: “Sometimes I feel like I’m playing characters through my music, using them as a vehicle to express honest and genuine feelings.”Her 2020 debut album “Bad Timing,” has garnered over 1.7 million combined streams to date. In 2021, Bird followed up with her EP “Big Heart”.

Now that TikTok is the go to platform, Facebook is playing catch up. Instead of seeing the dreaded political posts, maybe you’ll see a beautiful gal in your newsfeed giving you financial tips or life hacks.

Apparently, Facebook will become more visual like TikTok, and more video heavy.

“What we’re really finding is that people want to connect over content,” said Tom Alison who is the head of the FB app. “And so a lot of where we’re going with Facebook is trying to bring you the best content that’s going to really cater to your interests, but then making it super easy to share that and discuss and connect with other people in your network over that.”

FB also wants a cleaner user experience. When I ask if the Facebook app has gotten bloated over the years with all its tabs and notifications, he gives a nervous laugh. “I’ll say that the Facebook app has a lot going on.”

Look out for &Tilly and the track Unopen. It’s a blend of indie folk and electronic. The duo who calls themselves introverted describes their sound as Poetic Indie; Sung Poetry New Folk; Melodic Ambient Pop; Bright Darkness; Alternative.

“Somewhere between Lucy Rose, dodie, and Lumineers, Unopen is too lovable to stay closed in just our hearts” says the duo.

They’ve written over 90 original songs within 2 years while their latest track landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday.
