Memphis based Dylan Dunn drops Lemonade Eyes. You’ll love if you like indie rock. The song could find a place on Spotify’s Feel Good Indie Rock or Apple’s Indie Pop.

I’m influenced from Queen to The Voidz and Stuck in the Sound, Dylan notes, “When I was writing Lemonade Eyes I was going through a pretty rough patch and I wanted to get my mind off what was going on, so instead of writing about what was happening I wrote about the actual emotions I was feeling.

TikTok is still the go to platform for music with no signs of letting up. The apps new breakthrough artist? The 22 year old Emmy Meli.

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter posted a video of herself singing part of the song in the fall of last year and the next day the video had racked up hundreds of thousands of views, with a trend to follow.

“I literally posted it at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday night, and then I went out to a bar with my friends and I really didn’t think anything of it. I didn’t even check my phone the whole rest of the night. The next morning, I woke up and my friends were like, ‘Emily, wake up. Look at your TikTok.’ The explosion had begun,” Meli tells Variety of the video, which now has over 27 million views and half a million videos made to its sound. “And then I was like, well fuck. I have to write the rest of the song now.”

The California native finished the song while working a job at a golf course. Meli says. “I wanted the whole song itself to be like an affirmation for people, because originally I wrote it to inspire myself everyday.”

The song has garnered over 25 million plays on Spotify and landed #1 on Spotify Viral and Top 50 Global charts.

Frankie Orella drops a really cool track Hold Me Together, my favorite February release thus far. You’ll love if you’re listening to Spotify’s Sad Playlist.

The singer songwriter grew up listing to her fathers Beatle’s collection. She released her first single “Never Be Lonely,” followed by “Come Home,”. In 2020 she wrote a concept EP on the 5 Stages of Grief, garnering blog support from Lefuturewave and Popmuzik.

Orella says “When we wrote this song, I wanted a way to communicate all the things I’m scared to say out loud to people I love,” said Orella. “It can be easy to assume people close to you will eventually leave, so this song is like a plea to stay when the relationship is strained.”
