Look out for WRENN and the new track Your Friends Like Me Better. A solid track that follows her viral TikTok song Hailey. Although it’s hard to follow up TikTok success, the Los Angeles alt pop rocker could strike again.

WRENN shares, “Did anyone else get super obsessed with one person over quarantine and pictured a whole future with them but then they ended things right as the world is going back to normal? Or is that just me?

She grew a rapid following on TikTok after writing a song about her ex. In fact, she had audio of her ex admitting he was cheating on her. She found herself on the US Spotify Viral Charts after Blake Shelton tweeted her song.

Watch out for the London-based quintet Unknown Chapters and the new single release Ink. I like it a lot. Think Vampire Weekend meets Jack Jackson.

The alternative pop-rock act self-released their debut EP “The Age of Dying Radio” in winter 2021, and will roll out a new single every month this year.

“Ink is about seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses. Skies look pink. Problems seem a little smaller. Life seems a little lighter. And nothing can sink your mood” shares the band. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders playlist.

Look out for Liv Ritchie and the track Wake Up. Fans of Zara Larsson and Selena Gomez will love, especially if you like those angelic voices.

“I wrote this song after waking up from a visceral dream where my ex was back in my life. I wrote down the dream in my notes. The last line “It wasn’t a nightmare until I woke up” turned into WAKE UP” shares Liv. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Check out the mid tempo song Lost Myself by Ashton Rey. This is the second track that comes off her upcoming EP. Fans of Kacey Musgraves and Tori Kelly will love. The 24 year singer and songwriter blends bohemian + country + pop.

Ashton tells Kings, “I want people to feel joy and light when they remember me, I want my music to speak to their soul and help them find healing in knowing that we’ve been there and we can come out stronger”.

The Florida based artist will drop more tracks in the coming months.

Essy released a video for the track Cry For Me. A good “guilty pleasure” song/video that has Essy dancing around with a snake. If you love 80’s, you’ll like this uptempo pop track. The song is about the craziness of online dating during the pandemic. Before moving to Nashville, Rachel Braig aka Essy, studied at Berklee College of Music and collaborated with songwriters before writing with electronic duo Ship Wrek.
