AMOYLC (Approachable Members of Your Local Community) releases a great uptempo electro pop track One I Need that features Heaps Good Friends. The 7-piece tells Kings, “Our new track, One I Need, is about all those people that you feel you want in your life, but maybe you don’t actually really need them.” The indie-pop/soul act first gained some buzz with the release of Millennium Queen which has a Red Hot Chili Peppers vibe and landed on the Spotify Australia’s Viral 50. You can check them out on 4/25 at The Gasometer Hotel in Collingwood, VIC, Australia

I really like Heartbreaker by Zinn. It’s dark, haunting, syncable and has a infectious chant. Citing Bebe Rexha, Halsey, and Jessie Reyez her latest single follows her debut track Rise Above. Zinn tells Kings, “Heartbreaker is about women not wanting to be the bad guy, but finding strength within herself to leave a very toxic relationship she thought she’d be in forever.” The Utah native will roll out more singles in the coming months and will release an EP. Check out her interview with Vents Mag.

San Francisco based singer-songwriter Lyrah releases the haunting electro-pop track Are You All Alone which comes of her debut EP Chemicals. Think Florence and the Machine, Lorde, and Halsey. Lyrah tells Kings, “Are You All Alone?” is about getting that late night text from the only person you’ve been waiting to hear from.” Give the track a listen, but also stream Down Low which was added to Spotify’s playlist Fresh Finds. Do want to know more? Find her on Instagram.

Jessica Laws releases the new single Break Me Down. It’s a strong track that follows her debut single Liar. Influenced by Pink, Demi Lovato, and Sia – Jessica tells Kings, “People will always break you down and don’t truly want to see you succeed, but the moment you realize your self worth, you won’t take that anymore. Spending 3 to 4 nights of the week performing covers, she wants to be known for her originals. Jessica tells us, “I want my songs on the radio and having a number 1 hit even it takes a while”. Give it a listen.

Liverpool-based singer/songwriter and guitar virtuoso Ben Hughes also known as Tall Children released the funky track ‘Be With Me‘ as well as the video showcasing a string of live performances. Having shared the stage with Paul McCartney, his debut single Song For You landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday and garnered support BBC Introducing. Ben tells Kings, “Be With Me is a song that totally encapsulates what I’m about. It’s about Pop done in an interesting way – bringing organic instruments and the electronic together and wrapping it in a big ball of fun. I feel like ‘Be With Me’ has achieved things as a single that perhaps a straighter run-of-the-mill tune would not. I’m essentially laying the groundwork to show that yes, Pop is fun, but it can also have sharper edges and few curve balls and go places you wouldn’t normally go, if you know how to get there!” Give it a stream!
