NYC-based Ayla D’Lyla releases the new haunting single “To Be A Girl.”

‘To be a girl’ is a letter to all of the girls who have lost themselves in the midst of a relationship. We often measure happiness by the romance existing, or not existing, in our worlds. Many of us tend to lose ourselves living in this state of fantasy and passion.” – Ayla D’lyla

As for the video, “The music video, shot by my sister, Malina Weissman, shows her raw filming style and sense of humor. Malina loves to create beautiful images without overproducing what she sees. I love the charming backdrop and the way she captured the melancholic feel of the song.”

Growing up with German and Palestinian roots, Ayla took a keen interest in German pop music from a young age and continues to derive inspiration from its intricacies. A classically-trained vocalist, Ayla has always had a deep admiration for legendary female vocalists such as Nancy Sinatra, Dolly Parton, and Cher. “I could watch these women for hours,” she notes, pointing to their captivating beauty and sound as a catalyst for her pursuit of a career in music.

The 22 year indie artist from Northern Ireland Olivia Cox drops the up tempo rocker New Man. The track was recorded in Vancouver with producer Paul Laine. The track pick up spins on stations in Northern Ireland, and the CoolFm radio station and on RTL in Luxembourg.

‘New Man’ is a fun, upbeat and fierce song I wrote about my ex’s new girlfriend being too pretty for him and how she has no idea what she’s getting herself into lol but the song can also be listened to from the perspective of the present and more self aware ‘me’ talking to the past, naive and in love ‘me’ saying “girl go treat yourself better, he is trash” – Olivia Cox

Up and comer 18 year old Isabel LaRosa has released the haunting “i’m yours”. You’ll love if you if you like Melanie Martinez and Twenty One Pilots. Known for her moody electro-pop, LaRosa recently inked a deal with Slumbo Labs/RCA Records after going with viral with the track Haunted.

“I started posting on TikTok to promote my music, and for about a year, 5-10 posts a day, literally nothing went viral. Not even close. Two months ago my brother and I wrote a song called “Haunted.” We wanted to create something that felt like it could be in the show “Euphoria” – Isabel LaRosa

LaRosa’s last single, “HEARTBEAT” was the biggest daily streaming gainer at her record label – even above all of the label’s major heavy-hitters – due to all of the growing attention around “i’m yours.” Since teasing “i’m yours” on TikTok, streams across LaRosa’s catalog have grown by well over 350%. The five second clip of “i’m yours” has been used in over 160K TikTok videos, with 27 million views across all social platforms, and breakout artists / influencers such as Nessa Barrett, Huddy, Emma Norton, and Kayla Nicole have used the sound on their pages.

To date, LaRosa has been featured on Spotify playlists like Pop Sauce, Pop Rising and Fresh Dance Pop. In addition to writing all three singles on her critically acclaimed debut EP, i’m watching you, LaRosa wrote the treatments for and co-directed the video for each track, which ultimately fit together into a short film.

Norwegian up & comer Eline Noelia drops playful new track I’m Good. You may love if you’re looking for something unique and quirky and reminiscence of Britney.

The 23 year old powerhouse hails from Tønsberg, Norway and is inspired by 2010’s pop and vocalists from the 90’s, like Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato and Céline Dion. Eline grew up surrounded by musicians and started to write and record songs when she was 7 years old.

Eline crafted her sound with new collaborators after signing with Warner Music Norway in November 2021, Noelia released her debut single “Ecstasy” January 10th through MGP – the national selection for Eurovision song contest. In March she dropped the 80’s inspired “Shockwave” and then “Don’t Pray For Me” in late July.

Hazlett shares Downhill, probably my favorite track on his EP, Oh Downhill, which is side A of his upcoming 1st full-length album. The indie folk artist is doing everything right, and in my opinion, sits on top of the heap, and could be minutes away from going viral. Right now, he’s resting as an unheard gem.

The 18:00 minute EP punches hard with tracks “Please Don’t Be,” “Even If It’s Only,” “My Skin,” and “Everybody Hates Me,” and of course “Oh Downhill.”

Hazlett says, “I don’t know what is ingrained in human nature that makes us run back to things that are bad for us, people that don’t like us, or compare ourselves to strangers’ lives.” He adds, “When you look back after a moment like this happens, it’s so confusing. But in that moment, it’s all you can care about and all you can focus on. This song is a little homage to this broken little world we are all trying to swim in.”
