Check out Shoshana Ami and her latest track, “Feels So Good to Love You.” This song blends pop, R&B, and a touch of ’80s flair, making it a perfect fit for Spotify’s pop playlists. Ami first captured attention with her debut album, Pretty Liar, and she’s back with a sound that’s both fresh and nostalgic.
Shoshana grew up in Brooklyn, steeped in a diverse musical landscape. She was influenced by classical composers and jazz legends like Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and John Coltrane. At 14, she picked up her first electric guitar, teaching herself Led Zeppelin riffs and beginning to write her own music.
After years in the acting world, Shoshana found her way back to her true passion: music. She began attending songwriter workshops led by her mentor and producer, Tony Conniff. Despite the nerves that left her hands shaking as she played her songs, she kept pushing forward, pouring her heart into her music and refining her craft. Now, she’s ready to share it with the world.
Keep an eye out for Legwurk and her summer single, “macho.” This track is the perfect blend of fun, chill, and quirky, seamlessly merging indie pop with experimental vibes. Tackling the theme of toxic masculinity, Legwurk encourages men to loosen up a bit while candidly admitting her own imperfections.
If you’re looking to categorize her sound, you’ll likely find her tracks on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Indie, Fresh Finds Pop, Bedroom Pop, Lorem, Transcend, and Outliers playlists. Having opened for JAWNY and Still Woozy, Legwurk is currently on tour with Still Woozy, further solidifying her place in the indie scene.
Keep an eye out for Kathy Katouzi and her latest track, “FLATL!NE.” While the song draws inspiration from the recent passing of her grandfather, it’s far from melancholic. Instead, it offers a refreshing mix of indie pop that feels perfectly at home on Spotify’s Late Night Vibes or Pop Sauce playlists.
Kathy’s sound is a distinctive blend of edgy indie pop, drawing influence from artists like Jeremy Zucker, Brakence, and Charli XCX.
Born and partly raised in Iran, Kathy never imagined music could be a viable path for her. Growing up in a culture where women were expected to be modest and creativity was often suppressed, she reflects, “In my country, creativity was taken from women, not provided.” It was only after moving to Toronto that she discovered music as her sanctuary, allowing her to finally express herself and find her voice.
