Frankie Orella drops a really cool track Hold Me Together, my favorite February release thus far. You’ll love if you’re listening to Spotify’s Sad Playlist.

The singer songwriter grew up listing to her fathers Beatle’s collection. She released her first single “Never Be Lonely,” followed by “Come Home,”. In 2020 she wrote a concept EP on the 5 Stages of Grief, garnering blog support from Lefuturewave and Popmuzik.

Orella says “When we wrote this song, I wanted a way to communicate all the things I’m scared to say out loud to people I love,” said Orella. “It can be easy to assume people close to you will eventually leave, so this song is like a plea to stay when the relationship is strained.”

Cate Tomlinson impresses with the brand new track Notes App Apology. A song about gaslighting, you’ll love if you’re in the mood for something haunting.

The track was co-produced with Justin Stanley (Nikka Costa, Prince, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow). Tomlinson says “Most of my other songs have big choruses that are kind of in your face, and Notes is a lot more laid back and I feel isn’t trying to prove itself as much.”

The 20-year-old songwriter hails from San Francisco and is now based out of Boston at Northeastern University.

Look out for Julianna Joy and the track Prescriptions. You’ll love if you like spacey, ambient, or Spotify Dream Pop. It’s the third single from my upcoming EP Garden of Eden, produced with Teddy Geiger (Shawn Mendes, Maroon 5, Lizzo). Zane Lowe premiered the track on his show on Apple Music 1.

Joy says “Prescriptions’ comes from a place that I know everybody who has ever been medicated has been,”. She also says, “I started taking anti-depressants my senior year of high school due to crippling depression and anxiety that kept me home sometimes from school. This song is about the struggle with acceptance of being on meds, and how the first few months of adjusting and figuring out what is best for your body affects your relationships. It’s hard knowing what is right for your body, especially when there are so many different options to medication and treatment. I am just lucky enough to have found a med that worked for me and that I had access in the first place.”

Look out for 19 year old Matty Reynolds and the indie pop track bed head fever.

“I wrote this song about feeling exhausted from going out but also having the fear of missing out on things” says Reynolds.

Taking cues from Jeremy Zucker and Jon Bellion everything changed for the kid when he created a TikTok account at 17. He started gaining attention with the debut single “Last September” and hotel party,” which garnered over 1 million streams in 1 week.
