Check out the mid tempo song Lost Myself by Ashton Rey. This is the second track that comes off her upcoming EP. Fans of Kacey Musgraves and Tori Kelly will love. The 24 year singer and songwriter blends bohemian + country + pop.

Ashton tells Kings, “I want people to feel joy and light when they remember me, I want my music to speak to their soul and help them find healing in knowing that we’ve been there and we can come out stronger”.

The Florida based artist will drop more tracks in the coming months.

Essy released a video for the track Cry For Me. A good “guilty pleasure” song/video that has Essy dancing around with a snake. If you love 80’s, you’ll like this uptempo pop track. The song is about the craziness of online dating during the pandemic. Before moving to Nashville, Rachel Braig aka Essy, studied at Berklee College of Music and collaborated with songwriters before writing with electronic duo Ship Wrek.

Check out Favorite Boy by the 20 year old Cate Tomlinson. It’s reminiscence of Taylor Swift’s newer material. You’ll love if you like bedroom / indie pop. Originally from San Francisco, she’s now based out of Boston spending time at Northeastern University. Last year she dropped a track Before I lose You which we compared to Ellie Goulding.

I really like Bitch Can’t Spell February by Nolä. Fresh on the scene, the indie pop songwriter hails from North Carolina and is wrapping up her time at Berklee College of Music. She’s influenced by Bon Iver, The Japanese House, Imogen Heap, Remi Wolf, Banks, and Rina Sawayama.

Nola shares “The story behind the title is the girl that was dating one of my close friends would say really weird things to sound quirky such as “I don’t think the months should have names” or “I probably couldn’t even say the whole alphabet if I tried” – so a friend of mine said “I bet a bitch can’t spell february!” and instantly I was like that is a song that needs to be written NOW.” Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders playlist.
