Look out for Calica and the track Letting Go. Fans of upbeat indie pop will enjoy. It would fit well on Spotify’s Indie Dancefloor playlist.

She built a decent sized TikTok following with over 250k followers. Her single Little Girl, went viral on TikTok that featured her father’s reaction to the song. Hailing from Miami, Florida, she graduated from the University of Miami Frost School of Music and began writing and producing alongside Grammy-nominated producer duo SMLE.

“Letting Go” is a really fun, upbeat disco track, but the lyrics are actually about what it’s been like being single for the last 4 years. It’s been a really independent time of my life, and I’ve sort of kept most of my romantic partners at a distance. I wrote the song as I was reflecting on the reasons why I’ve avoided getting into another relationship, and how an old flame back in Miami could be holding me back from being vulnerable with anyone else” shares Calica.

Look out for Linnea Siggelkow aka Ellis and the new track Hell. It took me a few times to get hooked and add it to KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist. I like it because it’s introspective and draws you in. You could feel the same effect if you pay attention. The song would fit nicely on Spotify’s Late Night Vibes Playlist.

The track comes off the ‘nothing is sacred anymore‘ out tomorrow 6/25. The Hamilton based dream pop artist previously released “hospital” and “what if love isn’t enough.”

“What happens to us when we die?” Siggelkow asks. “Obviously I don’t know for sure but I think the concept of hell in a traditional sense is very strange. Thinking about it as a place that exists in the afterlife feels like it discounts all the real and shitty things that people endure in this lifetime. Hell exists on earth, we see it all the time. I like to think that death isn’t the gateway to hell, it’s some kind of freedom from it.”

The sister duo KTJ & CARLY releases Hidden. It’s a bit different and it’s not easy achieving uniqueness today. Blending pop, electronic, and r&b, the pop cites ROZES, JoJo, and PVRIS as influences.

Currently enrolled in the Berklee College of Music’s online program, The Los Angeles based duo released their dynamic debut “Identity EP” in 2020. Features include Rolling Stone, Atwood Magazine, Euphoria, and Flaunt. They scored their first feature film, “God Save The Queen,”.

“We wanted to write a song about hiding our inner-demons and being the one in the relationship that is non-commital or has fears of being vulnerable,” says Katie Haynes. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Watch out for singer songwriter Kendra Checketts and the track Blasé. You’ll love if you like quirky upbeat indie pop. The new track comes off her forthcoming debut EP. It could fit nicely on Spotify’s Indie Pop Playlist.

The 22 year-old San Diego worked herself on the 16th season of The Voice where she worked with Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. Kendra made it to 14th overall on the show’s 16th season. Vocally she’s been compared to Adele, Aretha Franklin and Amy Winehouse. She performed at House Of Blues San Diego, Qualcomm Stadium, Marriott and Westroot.

Checketts released her hit single “I’m Not Sober” with producer Clueless Kit that clocked over 1.9 million streams on Spotify.

Look out for Jamie Lee Harrison and the pop ballad Say It Out Loud. Hailing from Newcastle, the pop track was produced by Lewis Gardiner who is known for his work with Ellie Goulding, Nick Jonas and Chvrches.

“The song speaks to that bond you have with someone special when you know what you’re both feeling, but you don’t want to ruin it by saying anything” shares Jamie.

I would put Jamie in the same category as the German breakout artist Zoe Wees. Big in your face vocals paired with big anthems.

He first made waves on Britons Got Talent in 2017 and turned heads with ‘Everybody Hurts’ by REM. In 2017 he released his debut album ‘Reflection’, followed with a 2018 album ‘Powerful’. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders.
