Up and coming singer-songwriter Mavenne has released an EP “Nice To Meet You“. It’s a collection of strong songs akin to BØRNS, Skylar Grey, Birdy, and Lana Del Rey. My favorites are Bored Games and Faraway Far. Although she was a winner in the California Music Video Awards, Mavenne has been flying under the radar but I think this new EP will find a way on plenty of playlists, like our playlist. Give it a stream on Indie Invaders.

Brand new artist Floss releases her debut single Kings & Queens. It’s a really solid track, very cinematic, and soundtrack ready. BBC introducing jumped on board and played the track. The UK alt singer-songwriter is influenced by the likes of Lana Del Rey and Florence and the Machine. Check out the track on the Indie Invaders Playlist.

I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of indie folk, but I got quickly hooked on the track Some Of Your Songs by David Ost. He’s a singer-songwriter that bounced back and forth between Germany and Scotland, now residing in Hamburg. His goal was to create an original soundtrack for an off-pop riot you won’t be able to get out of your head any time soon. I must say mission accomplished, and pretty darn good for a second single.

Up and coming indie artist Wrenn releases the track Internet Gaming. The 20 year old imagined herself being stuck inside when she wrote the song. Very prophetic, because who would ever thought we all be stuck at home? The Los Angeles based singer-songwriter sounds a bit like some acts from the nineties – Shirley Manson, Courtney Love. Not surprising, she cites Nirvana, Mazzy Star, and Dido as influences. Give it a stream on our Indie Invaders Playlist.

Lee Cole is beginning to make noise with the track I Don’t Wanna Wait in South Africa. The song has cracked the iTunes chart and was added to several stations. Cole first gained attention in his home country with the cover ‘Akanamali’ – which has clocked over 300,000 views YouTube views. Splitting his time between Johannesburg and NY, he directed the music video at the Long Branch Train Station in New Jersey. Cole could be categorized as a post-teen pop artist ala Capaldi, Dean Lewis and James Arthur.
