Adele is the once in a generation artist. She’s a phenomena that rarely happens and most likely won’t happen again.

She is also an artist with lots of luck. Remember, Adele credits Sarah Palin’s appearance on SNL for her early success. She blew up during the time when Amy Winehouse died. When Winehouse left the earth, Adele filled the void. While Winehouse sang in dirty jazz clubs, Adele bears her soul in a classy cocktail lounge. Close enough.

There isn’t another artist that could disappear for 5 years, go dark on socials, and come back with hundreds of thousands of fans waiting to hear her new single. Oh, and her fans? Doctors, lawyers, VP’s of companies..you know, the people with a lot of money to spend.

Adele is a big money maker for the label and to assure her success, the suits won’t take any chances. They’ve lined up the hit makers to write smashes such as Swedish geniuses Max Martin, Shellback, and Ludwig Göransson. Max Martin has more #1 hits than The Beatles.

The label is rolling out a big dollar campaign. She’s on the cover of Vogue US and UK.  She’ll be plastered on subways, buses, and towers.

Adele’s biggest asset? Her voice. She underwent surgery in to stop a vocal-cord hemorrhage.

Her second biggest asset? Writing soul bearing retro tunes. The UK singer usually drops an album, not in the best of times, but the worse of times. She went through a divorce and her father died of cancer in May. It was a year of anxiety.

Adele is an artist’s artist. She possesses some strange brilliance that others would yearn for.

“I’m not having these people I don’t know take my legacy, my story away from me, and decide what I can leave behind or what I can take with me.” – Adele

Watch out for Sophia Bavishi and the track Running Out of Time.  It’s fitting title because doesn’t it seem like we are running out of time?  It’s the end of the rope for many.  You’ll like if you’re in the mood for a slow haunting ballad.  It would fill perfectly on Apple’s Chill Pop Playlist.

When the 20 year old is not grinding away on her degree in popular music at Arizona State University, you might find her making jamming music, wearing her Birkenstocks, and going on long road trips.  Give it a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders playlist.

Zoe Ferguson impresses with the track christine. The mid-tempo song blurs electro pop and country-folk. Think Kacey Musgraves.

“I want people to hear my music and be able to relate to the words” says Zoe.

Writing about breakups and experiences as a teen, the 19 year old Portland native uploaded some of her tunes to SoundCloud and was chosen to participate in Atlantic Records’ and APG, EMERGE program. Her song Dip found a spot on Spotify’s Pop Right Now Playlist.  Stream the track on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Adele is ready for a comeback. The English pop singer announced that the album’s lead single is called “Easy On Me” and it’ll come out on October 15th.

In the black and white clip, the 33-year-old inserts a cassette into a car stereo while driving down a country lane as pieces of paper fly out of the windows. Whoa!

All three of her albums have been named after the milestone ages she has hit during the creative process.

Dylan Dunlap dropped a new single Same Side that comes off his forthcoming EP forthcoming Stranger In My Head that comes out February 4th via Nettwerk Records. That track could find a spot on Spotify’s Soft Pop Playlist or Pop Chill on Apple Music.

Dylan says this about Same Side. “You’re just looking out for me. It’s literally about telling my team I know they have my best interest in mind, but I’m a stubborn brat,” he laughs. “I know they’re right, yet I don’t want to listen.”

Dylan spent time at Berklee and also busked around his native Burbank, CA which led to opening for OneRepublic in Provo, UT, that followed packed shows in the U.S. and the UK. He released two EP’s that garnered more 40 million+ combined Spotify streams. Stream the song on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
