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.

Look out for Imen Siar and the song Glitter and Gold. It’s a catchy track accompanied by a classic pop vocal. The 23-year released her debut single ‘Lonely People’ which earned critical acclaim in the UK while she worked as a waitress in London.

Inspired by Lewis Capaldi, Alessia Cara, Faouzia and Jessie J – Imen says, “‘Glitter and Gold’ was my first attempt at songwriting, and I wanted it to reflect my journey, how my view on life itself has changed, and how it’s made me the confident person I am today.

She co-wrote ‘Glitter and Gold’ with Jackson Hoffman and the Grammy-nominated icons + giants co-founder Billy Mann (P!nk, John Legend).

Nadia Kamrath drops the new track Feel This Once. You’ll love if you’re fan of indie, the 90’s, and and lo-fi pop. The 16 years old from Connecticut falls between artists like Clairo and Taylor Swift.

“Feel This Once” tells the story of my best friend and I bridge-jumping into the Atlantic Ocean while simultaneously diving headfirst into a relationship. There was a mutual understanding that something between us had shifted, that we were more than just friends, and this song is about that feeling.” says Nadia.

She’s garnered support form blogs like We All Want Someone To Shout For, When The Horn Blows, Tongue Tied Magazine, Boot Music, Qore Music Co and Going Solo.

Watch out for Cece Vee Self and the alt pop/synth track Doubt. The new track which is about battling overthinking and self doubt. The track is a follow up to the confessional EP Past Midnight.

I often experience self-doubt and I overthink a lot, both in my artistic career and in my personal life. This can look like overthinking decisions, worrying about the future, dealing with imposter syndrome, or lying awake at night, replaying conversations in my head,” Cece reveals.

Previous tracks topped the charts of JOOX’s New Pop Hits playlist (2020), and could be heard on US series like Good Trouble. Upon the release of her EP in January 2022, she was also featured on the cover of the Spotify editorial playlist, SAlt.
