I stumbled on the track Nowhere To Hide by Los Angeles based Ethan Davis aka Mr. Popular. The track comes off his debut album “Flair For The Dramatic”. It has a Broken feel by Lovelytheband.
“Nowhere To Hide was initially about my anxiety and feeling trapped in it; also me trying to numb that pain of past relationships gone bad,” Ethan Davis said of the song. “By the time the song was finished, I realized it was more about the redemptive side of being stuck. ‘Stuck inside your love with nowhere to hide and I don’t really mind’ means that it’s not always bad to be stuck somewhere. It’s more about your perspective of the circumstances and allowing God or your lover to shape your view of the situation instead of your anxiety”
Nashville electro pop artist Stef released two new songs Jane Doe and Allison Wonderland. Many artists are walking down the lonely road and writing melancholic songs but Stef is vibrant and writing and releasing up-tempo energetic songs. To be honest, listening to the 20 year old singer-songwriter is a nice break from hearing the hundreds of artists writing songs about social distancing and live-streaming with face masks. Stream the track on Indie Invaders Playlist and you can stream Jane Doe on Spotify’s Fresh Finds.
I really like the track Pandoras Box by London based artist Grace Sees. It’s different, refreshing, and I think honest. She describes her music as Baroque Pop because she loves classical harmonies, organs and drummers of classical music. She has been played on BBC Introducing Essex and playlisted on Spotify Fresh Finds. Give it a stream.
I couldn’t forget to mention the latest release Hard To Say from the promising new artist GRAACE. I really like her silky vocal tone, the vibe, and pretty much everything else. You can watch the video here. The Australian songwriter spent 2019 bouncing around and touring Europe supporting Tom Walker. She also played shows in London, Los Angeles and New York. Give the song a stream on Indie Invaders Playlist.
LA’s Elizy xo releases the single omw and it’s worth a listen. The track was co-written and produced by Joe Pepe alongside Brooke Daye. The track has hints of R&B and touches upon Lana Del Rey, Miley, and Bea Miller. You can get to know her a little more in an interview with Voyage LA. Give the track a stream on Indie Invaders Playlist.
