Kings favorite Clide dropped the final track of the year “Kitchen Floor“. You’ll love if you like sad boy pop and heartbreak.

With over 300 million Spotify monthly listeners, the Berlin based indie pop artist garnered nearly 35 million streams from his debut EP “In My Mind” .

Look out for Sophia Bavishi and the moody mid-tempo new track Rain. It would fit perfectly on Spotify’s Sad Songs or Apples’s Heartbreak Pop and Chill Pop Playlist.

“It’s a netflix and chill on rainy day kind of song, when you’re stuck at the end of a relationship” notes Sophia.

When the 20 year old is not grinding away on her degree in popular music at Arizona State University, you might find her making jamming music, wearing her Birkenstocks, and going on long road trips. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders playlist.

Freedom Fry released Ego Trip. A great 60’s throwback track from the Los Angeles indie folk pop husband and wife duo that had tons of success with TV placements.

More than 60 TV shows and commercials have used their songs, including Shameless, The Flash, The Morning Show, Grey’s Anatomy and 90210.

This year, they’re releasing a 3-track EP every month. Their songs have been remixed by the likes of Sofi Tukker and Penguin Prison and have been supported by the tastemakers at Alt Nation, KEXP, ALT 98.7, KROQ, WXPN, SIRIUS XM, the BBC.

LA based 20 year old singer-songwriter Gabe James dropped the fun uptempo track Gracie. Fans of Damien Rice and The 1975 will like. The track comes off the 4 track EP City Of Lost Angels.

Gabe notes, “Moving out to California made me want the production in my songs to feel big. Though I still felt somewhat attached to that singer-songwriter style of music I was so accustomed to growing up. I think this EP captures a little bit of both sides of what I used to listen to growing up and what I listen to now.”

Influenced by John Mayer and Ed Sheeran, the 20 year old was born and raised in Colorado. Previous tracks have landed on Spotify’s The New Alt, New Noise, and New Pop Picks.

Leila Dandan drops Elephant. It’s quirky, fun, and actually a well crafted indie pop tune. Think alt/folk meets R&B. A Huntington Beach native and now based in Dallas, Leila draws her influences from Phoebe Bridgers, Lizzy McAlpine, and Hayley Williams. She discovered writing and producing when she was 12 years old, and after four years she released the debut EP, “Red Flags”. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders.
