MORE Indie Invaders, The Latest / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Zenia Marshall drops the impressive track Prove Me Wrong. You’ll love if you like Ariana grande, Taylor Swift, and Hailee Steinfeld.

The Canadian indie pop artist is also film/tv actress known for her works as one of the leads of the “Date My Dad” TV series alongside “7th Heaven’s” Barry Watson & Hollywood legend Raquel Welch, the movie “Summer of Dreams” supporting lead to and singing alongside 80s pop princess, Debbie Gibson, and as a recurring guest star on CW’s Supernatural.

Zenia is a stage vet having sung and toured worldwide in her mom’s Tina Turner Tribute show since the age of 13 and has since headlined in numerous musical runs, cover bands, theatre act shows, and as an Ariana Grande tribute artist herself.

She co-produces each song to explore a lush dreamy landscape of vocals, guitars, and synths creating an abstract ethereal blend of dark tinged alternative indie pop.

Tara Lynn Rye dropped her fourth single Moonlight. The track mixes all genre together – dark pop, folk, and rock – think Kim Dracula.

Tara says, ““I wanted to write an anthem for the women who have awoken so they know they aren’t alone. It’s easy to feel crazy in a world that will gaslight you. The patriarchy is in everything we have learned and once you wake up to it, something changes in you. It’s validating yet painful to know you are not the problem. There are other women standing in their power, just like you. Wouldn’t you rather be called all the names in the book, living a life that’s your own, rather than dampening or diluting yourself? Find those people like you and find your peace. The world is mad. Don’t worry about the people who are still asleep.”

Tara just wrapped up a performance at the Peppermint Club in LA.

Intelligence Platform from Q Scores, the industry standard for measuring celebrities’ star power suggests Will Smith’s numbers sharply dropped months after the Academy Awards ceremony, when the actor smacked Chris Rock on live television.

Before the outburst, Smith ranked among the top rated actors in Q Scores’ semiannual surveys which polled nearly 1,800 U.S.consumer, placing him alongside Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Smith’s positive Q Score plummeted from 39 to 24, which “a very significant and precipitous decline.” according to Henry Schafer, executive VP of Q Scores.

Sometimes there is no second chance, no second time.

At the 94th Academy Awards, actor Will Smith walked onstage and slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face during Rock’s presentation for Best Documentary Feature. The slap was in response to Rock making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. Smith returned to his seat and shouted profane remarks at Rock, who responded congenially and completed his presentation.

Check out the infectious mid tempo track Everybody Hates Me by indie folk artist Hazlett. The song could fit easily on any Spotify indie playlist.

Hazlett landed features in NME, Clash, The Line of Best Fit, and Atwood. With the rising musician currently working on more brand-new material for his upcoming full-length album debut with Nettwerk, it’s clear Hazlett is weaving his way to something bigger.

Tell me about how your new song came about?
It actually came about because of the pandemic. The isolation really got to me. Because life was so online I found myself reading into any communication I had and making up scenarios in my head. I wrote the line “everybody hates me“ as a jokingly blunt way to explain my feelings and I actually had every intention to change it. But the more I sat with it, I realised just how close to home it hit. It was exactly how I felt.

Have you always been a story teller?
I think so. To some extent it was accidental though. I write a lot to figure things out in my own head and when I take a step back it does look a lot like I had some stories to tell. Subconsciously It’s probably because my favourite songs of all time have been these kind of grandiose timeless stories.

Do you have to be vulnerable and brave to tell your life story?
I think it takes a fair bit of courage yeah. But I wouldn’t consider myself brave or vulnerable. Music is my own outlet to help the tough times. The more I’ve put my songs out the more I’ve received messages of how they’ve resonated with people. I think that has been the safety blanket in putting myself out there more and more. Knowing others are in it with me.

Check out So Mysterious by Noshows. The track fuses all genres together hip hop, pop, funk, jazz, alt-rock realms, and still makes perfect sense. NYC based Noshows started out as a solo act and morphed into full band quickly gaining their footing in venues like Bowery Electric, Arlene’s Grocery, NY’s Pleasantville Music Festival.

“So Mysterious” is about randomly running into someone who feels like the one that got away after just one conversation, mostly because of their mysterious vibes. This idea of the unknown may be what’s alluring you but you’re blinded by your infatuation with this person and end up filling in the blanks because you’ll likely never see them again. That’s sort of the experience I was trying to communicate with this song, somewhat foolishly falling in love with just the idea of somebody.
