Look out for Silence by Devin Kennedy. Fans of Khalid will enjoy and others who love R&B, hip hop, and and pop-soul.
The Los Angeles based songwriter and producer released the previous single “Hurt U” which landed on Spotify‘s soda, Chill Pop and Fresh Finds, Apple Music’s Relationship Goals and New In Pop and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Pop and Brand New Music.
“What I really enjoy about ‘Silence’ is that we were able to combine my usual sunny, west-coast vibe, with faster vocal melodies and some hard-hitting drums” shares Devin.
Devin co-wrote Ben Platt’s single “Everything I Did to Get to You” with One Republic’s Ryan Tedder and produced Jake Miller’s “Jumpin”, and EBEN’s “Ghost Town”.
I’m liking Don’t Sleep With My Ex by Cy, the solo project by Swedish songwriter Amanda Cygnaeus. It would fit nicely on Apple’s The Breakup Playlist. Traveling between LA, London and Stockholm, she has worked with artist like LÉON, Iggy Azalea, Paloma Faith, and Icona Pop.
Her new release is about a breakup and it was written by Cy, along with Richard Zastenker and
Johannes Klahr who received a 2020 Grammy nomination for Lady Gaga’s ‘Chromatica’.
“I was a ticking bomb when I came to the studio that day and all of my anger and confusion just exploded into this song. It’s not about me hating on someone’s relationship, but rather
about feeling betrayed by a close friend” shares Cy. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
Look out for Love Somebody by ANTi. You’ll like if you love Charlie Puth and The Weeknd or in the mood for smooth melodies. It would fit nicely on Spotify’s Soft Pop Hits or Apple’s Unwind.
“This song is a big piece of me to put out into the universe, one that unexpectedly pulled me back into the joy and freedom and reward of creating and made me feel like myself again” shares ANTi.
Prior to releasing originals, the Nashville-based pop artist/producer played “Purple Rain” and Jonny Lang covers. ANTi has racked up hundreds of thousands of streams as a producer and co-writer. He also is the better half of electro-pop duo The Love Elektrik, co-founded with Victor Brodén.
I’m really liking Unlove You by the songwriter John Adams. Reminiscent of Justin Bieber’s Lonely, you’ll like if you’re sucker for piano ballads. Think James Morrison, Damien Rice and Passenger. The track would fit nicely on Spotify’s Broken Heart Playlist.
The South Wales singer garnered 600,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and has become a BBC favorite. His debut album landed on a top spot on the iTunes Chart leading to festival gigs including The Isle of Wight Festival, Great Escape and Victorious Festival.

Check out ‘Queen’ by the Dublin bedroom-pop artist Jacqueline Kennedy. You’ll like if you’re in the mood for dark bedroom indie pop.
Kennedy tells Kings: “With Queen myself and Darce wanted to examine the new ideas of royalty. A Queen in 2021 is an aura that someone possesses and is no longer simply identified by class or bloodline. It’s the essence of your own self.”
She won the 2020 TilT Development deal with Sound Training Productions and 98fm’s Totally Irish. The Dublin producer and artist is ready to add her name to growing ranks of Female Irish pop acts forging their own way like Fia Moon, Blakkheart, Biig Piig and Gemma Dunleavy.
