Emerging artist Sam Tompkins, unveiled his latest song titled “See Me” on Friday, further building anticipation for his upcoming debut album. In the past few days, Tompkins had been teasing the emotional track, describing it as his “most personal song I’ve ever written” and expressing his nervousness about sharing such vulnerability. Tompkins has garnered over 2 million Spotify monthly listeners and has landed on playlists including Sad Songs and Spotify’s Chill.

According to the singer, the new song, feels like something he needed to write his entire life. He is grateful to have finally wrote it and hopes that others will connect with its message.

Tompkins reveals that the inspiration for “See Me” originates from a dark period in his life last year. During a conversation with his life coach, he confronted his escalating insecurities and constant fear of judgment from others. Through this discussion, they identified a moment from his childhood in school that had impacted him and persisted throughout his life. The weight of a particular comment had become internalized, leading him to believe it.

As Tompkins gears up for the highly anticipated release of his full-length album later this year, listeners eagerly await further music releases.

Mindy’s latest single, “Somewhere.,” is a perfect song that beautifully complements a dreamy landscape, reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s enchanting track, “Willow.”

Mindy, the former female singer and keyboardist of the Universal Motown indie group Lydia, as well as the late lead singer of the indie-pop band States (formed after her departure from Lydia in 2010), has an impressive musical background.

In addition to her contributions to Lydia and States, Mindy has collaborated with renowned artists including hip-hop recording artist Blackbear, singer Anthony Green from the rock group Circa Survive, and Telle from The Word Alive.

Over the past few years, Mindy has released three solo singles: “Lifted,” “Lost You in the Summer,” and “Nothing New.” These songs perfectly showcase her talent for crafting catchy, carefree, and fun electro-infused tracks, influenced by her love for pop music from the 90s and 2000s.

Mindy has plans to release an album in the near future. She has already started teasing it with a couple of singles. The first, “Ghost,” is a heartbreakingly relatable track, while the second, “Somewhere,” is dreamy, sweet, and absolutely captivating. These new songs delve even deeper into emotional and down-to-earth territory, with a touch of Nashville sound. They will undoubtedly connect listeners with their incredibly beautiful and moving lyrics, addictive melodies, and simple yet timeless music.

Sarah Coolidge drops the upbeat track Ice Pac that comes off the album ‘Call Me When You Get There’. Coolidge and Maryam Qudus (SPACEMOTH) served as co-producers, while Meric Long (THE DODOS) handled engineering as Beau Sorensen (Death Cab For Cutie) mixed the album. The track could find a home on Spotify’s Indie Mix Playlist.

Coolidge’s upcoming album features “Ice Pack,” a shoegaze-saturated track that highlights her dry sensibilities as she recounts past eye injuries such as burned corneas and getting pepper flakes in her eye. This is consistent with Coolidge’s history of crafting catchy odes to pain and bodily injury, which can be traced back to her 2020 debut single “Nosebleed.” Bay Area artist Madeline Kenney, who released the single on her label Copper Mouth Records, described Coolidge’s songs as “sunny, a little tongue-in-cheek, effortlessly real and satisfying in their simplicity.” Having recently made their Noise Pop festival debut, Coolidge and her band have a busy schedule of upcoming shows leading up to the album release in spring and summer.

If you’re looking for something folk and pop, give Neeley a try. She just dropped a new single ‘27‘.

“In ’27,’ I’m holding onto the innocence of youth, knowing that I may not be making the right decision as I navigate an untraditional relationship with an older man, all the while remaining optimistic and living in the moment until I know for sure whether or not this relationship has true purpose. This song is for anyone searching for a relatable voice to tell their own complicated story.”

Neeley, a folk-pop singer-songwriter from Yorba Linda, California, uses her lyrics to share personal stories. Her music is accompanied by instrumentation that creates an immersive experience, making the listener feel like they are in the same room with her. Over the last decade, Neeley has amassed an extensive catalog of over 300 songs, striving to discover her authentic voice. In 2015, she launched her publishing company, “Real Me Publishing,” which has landed placements with notable companies such as Amazon Prime and Ciroc. Neeley has worked with several artists, including Sadie Rose Van, Ava Kolker, and Laci Mercede, and producers such as Jamie O’Neal, “Joren,” and “Chilly.” Despite graduating early from Esperanza High School in 2019, she has already achieved numerous credits. Neeley is now embarking on a new chapter in her career as an artist, with the release of her first single “27”.

San Diego songwriter and producer Estella Dawn is making a mark with her unique fusion of genres and she won’t let you down with her latest single, “Just Me,” that showcases her sharp bars and reflective realness. The track starts strong with a memorable hook that combines melancholy and a catchy tune, and builds in intensity with switches in flow, pace, volume, and emotion. “Just Me” is a relentless and diary-style presentation of the ache of a broken relationship, with equal parts anecdote and relatability. With each single release, Estella keeps it unpredictable, creating original and unmistakable music. “Just Me” adds the appeal of snappy verse bars, immersive production, and mighty vocals to her soulful and intimate sound. Estella was a semi-finalist on New Zealand’s Got Talent and has over 25,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
