Los Angeles singer Belaro shares the video for the track Forever. Give it a couple listens and you’ll be hooked, especially if you like uptempo tracks made for the club. Her debut single came out in 2019 called FGirl that garnered some attention. The latest release is a departure from her debut single as it borrows from the 70’s – the disco era. Whereas artists jumped on 80’s trend, it’s nice to hear someone borrow from the decade before because the 70’s produced a lot of cool sounds. The track had a strong start landing on Spotify’s “just hits”, “Fresh Finds” and “Fresh Finds: Pop”. Give it a listen.

Check out RO and the track mykonos. She’s a self described bedroom producer with support coming from BBC Introducing and Fubar Radio. She’s inspired by experimental artists like Grimes, Christine and the Queens and Imogen Heap. In 2019 Ro performed at Laylow in Notting Hill for Trash Like You Records’ collaboration with The Circle (a charity founded by Annie Lennox). Check it out on KOAR’s Indie Invaders playlist.

Toronto native Jesse Gold releases “One in A Million” featuring Stefani Kimber. You’ll love it you’re fan of whisperpop a trend that Selena Gomez started with Good For You and Bad Liar. Then came Julia Michaels. She started writing songs with under-the-breath low key vocals for Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. Then came Eilish. So yes, whisper pop is alive and well and you can add this track to the mix. Jesse Gold landed Spotify’s Fresh Finds and Just Vibing playlist.

Check out Self Control by Phem. She’s been featured on and co-wrote with G-Eazy, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Tracy, and Iann Dior. She’s toured with artists such as Lil Xan and Grandson. Speaking of touring, do you remember when artists toured? It’s been so long and some say the summer of 2021 could be off the books. Check out Phem and her track that.

Watch out for Nashville based trio The Brummies. I listened to the track After Midnight and I was pretty hooked. Why? Maybe it made me feel good – the vibe, the mood, the groove, everything. According to the band, these songs were written before shit hit the fan in March 2020.

John Davidson notes, “I’m happy that these songs are feel good because we really need some positivity in times like these. If our songs can make somebody smile and dance then I think that’s a win.”

They also collaborated with Kacey Musgraves on a song called Drive Away and also co-wrote The Band Perry’s 2013 hit “Done”.

The band landed on several Spotify playlists including Fresh Finds: Rock and Wild & Free. Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
