Look out for the track You Don’t Want Me Anymore by Rachel White. The track can easily hang out with anything Olivia Rodrigo or Julia Michaels.

The Scottish singer songwriter studied at MGA Academy of Performing Arts in Edinburgh before releasing the debut single ‘Royalty’ in 2020.

“I’ve had my heart broken before many times but never really had to be the one to do the heart breaking so this song came about when I didn’t know how to let someone down. This song is also indicative of the fresh ‘Rachel White’ sound I’m developing this year which is raw and personal and explores my feelings as an artist”

She will drop EP this year followed by live gigs including a stop at the Breakout Festival in Kirkcaldy in May.

Kings favorite Ben Provencial just dropped Love For You Today, the first song of the year. I can hear this on Spotify’s Broken Heart Playlist.

The Atlanta bedroom songwriter say this, “Love You For Today’ was written about cherishing a romantic moment even when the relationship was never built to last. ”

Ben first made waves with the song “Not Alright” in 2020. It did well for him, garnering nearly a half million Spotify streams, landing on Spotify’s Fresh Finds. He has a upcoming live performance at Hotel Cafe in LA on 1/18.

Look out for Zach Hood and the mid tempo track I Miss My Friends. Although we are only 3 weeks in, the song has become my favorite this year.

The 20-year-old Alabama artist has quietly garnered 70+ million streams across his first six singles, landed on Spotify’s Pop Rising, Radar US & and held a spot on the Global Viral 50 chart.

Zach says, “I definitely feel like this is one of my most relatable songs yet – if not my most relatable – because kids my age are all going off to college and different places typically away from what they know. It’s one that really hits home for me,” Hood explained. “I not only had to go straight from high school into the real world, but I had to do it in Los Angeles – one of the strangest & loneliest cities in the world because virtually everyone is trying to ‘make it.’ I miss my friends, I miss home. It’s that simple.”

talker releases the track Don’t Want You To Love Me. You’ll love if you like 90’s rock, and get use to it, because that’s where music is drifting again. This year you’ll hear less beats and more live instruments.

Los Angeles-based Celeste Tauchar who goes under the moniker talker dubs herself “indie rock with glitter all over it”.

talker has released two EP’s, “Horror Films” and “Wax”, which received attention from Alternative Press, The A.V. Club, NPR Music, Grimy Goods, Buzzbands LA, and We Found New Music. She’s performed Red Rocks, The Bowery Ballroom, and Lollapalooza.

“This is about those confusing emotions when you get involved with someone from your past. The excitement & the trying-to-talk-yourself-out-of-it” says talker.

Watch out for Townsend and the new track Didn’t Happen. The track could be become a classic in the sad boy space because it has all the perfect somber ingredients. With one quick listen you’ll comedown and crash with no chance of rebounding. It does what music was intended for, it takes you to a place whether you intended to go there or not and just leaves you there for sometime.

The singer-songwriter and producer is based out of Nashville. With his father being a sound engineer and his mother a comedian, he also followed a creative path. He’s been featured in music blogs such as Glasse Factory, Rockdafuqout, Nagamag and playlisted on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Pop and Pop Rising. Townsend writes and produces music for himself and other artists around Nashville.

Townsend reveals about the song: “It’s about the feeling you get when something good has to come to an end. When the concert you waited forever to go to turns the lights on. When the vacation you’ve been planning for the last year is over. Or when the relationship that brought you so much happiness breaks up. After the high everything else feels low and *almost* makes you wish it never happened in”
