It’s hard to get 5 artists on the same page let alone 9 individual artists, but a Florida act seeyousoon has figured it out. These 9 artists have come together under the banner of seeyousoon and have been releasing tracks that fuse old school hip hop, soul, and rap. The nine-piece collective made their debut with a fun video for the track “Steamy” and they dropped a new track today ICFWT. The act has quickly garnered coverage from tastemakers like The Fader, EarMilk, and Variance Mag. Give it a stream, especially if you’re fan of hip-hop and R&B.
The Los Angeles based Stela Cole singer-songwriter drops Love You Like Mine. It’s a solid mid-tempo track that you heard before but at still offers a new twist. She has a bunch of videos on her YouTube Channel that I’ve been watching. The pop singer grew up in Atlanta and even signed with RCA for some time. She wrapped up up 2019 with 4 million Spotify streams and a million listeners. Now she is self- releasing music via AWAL. Give her latest track a stream on Indie Invaders Playlist.
Golda has officially become a Kings favorite. Her latest acoustic ballad Dear Los Angeles that talks about the darker side of LA sealed the deal for me. The LA based singer-songwriter released three powerful singles to date. Influenced by the likes of Lorde, YEBBA and Phoebe Bridgers, the latest track comes off her forthcoming self-titled EP. She has a really unique backstory as she grew up in both Chicago and San Diego to Ukrainian parents and honed on her songwriting skills while taking a trip to India.
Indie act KYTES releases a uptempo 80ish inspired track Runaway. It has a memorable anthem and it sounds like a sleeper hit, reminiscent of lovelytheband’s broken or Neon Trees ‘Animal’. The band has performed more than 250 shows to date including SXSW and music festivals – The Great Escape, Frequency, and Melt! The indie 4 piece has had an illustrious past – landing on top of the Hype Machine charts, a sold out European tour, and racking up millions of streams. Give the track a stream.
Zachary Knowles released a new track ‘Cherry Wine‘ that I really like. Having released a few singles, I think he is finding his own sound, and it’s his best song yet.
Knowles says: “The meaning behind “Cherry Wine” is super personal. I wrote about what life looked like before I was dating the girl I love. Before we started dating I was crazy about her (at the age of 14 haha that’s crazy to say) but didn’t know if she felt the same. I wanted to capture what that time of my life felt like.”
The Houston, TX has been releasing his music through Fader. The 20 year old bedroom artist began releasing songs on SoundCloud before releasing his first EP as a freshman in college at Texas A&M. Check out the track on our Indie Invaders Playlist.
