Runnin is a solid up-beat pop track by Launa. Right now, we are heading towards the slower tempos Selena Gomez “Lose You To Love Me” types and that’s why I like this track – it’s upbeat with a memorable melody. I won’t hide the fact that it really sounds like Sigrid. The 21 year old South Wales native, now based in Brighton draws influences from LÉON and Dua Lipa. She clocked over 95,000 streams on Spotify in 2019, garnered BBC Introducing support, and performed during The Great Escape Festival in May 2019.
Solarrio, aka David Barenboim delivers a great track Started This Yet. It sounds like it could be sandwiched between Gaga and Dua Lipa who all released sing along 80’s inspired tracks. He released his debut EP, “Solarrio”, in early 2017. The latest track was co-written with Pedro Vito (Jack Savoretti) and Craig Walker (Archive, Them There, WUSA). Give it a stream in our indie invaders playlist.
Heavily promoted Doja Cat has skyrocketed on the Spotify U.S. streaming chart with the track “Say So“.

Irish pop singer Fi’ releases the new track All I Have. The Dublin electro pop artist garnered interest with our last feature and I believe this new track is a step in the right direction.
