Watch out for 20 year old Ellur and the track Migraine, the third track from her Moments EP. You’ll like if you love the 80’s. Think Madonna, Kate Bush, and Stevie Nicks. The UK based artist released the EP via indie label Dance To The Radio. The track found a home on UK’s Amazing Radio Playlist as well as Spotify’s Hot New Bands, Bloom and Peach.

Watch out for James Cavern aka JMSEY and the new track InstaHam. You’ll like if you want loud. The 2:29 punk shout track stays on 10 and never leaves and would fit perfectly on Spotify’s New Noise. Check out the video here.

Originally hailing from Southeast London, JMSEY grew up in Sacramento and now resides in Los Angeles. He first made waves after appearing on NBC’s “The Voice” (as James Cavern) which drew some local attention.

JMSEY notes, “Music is a tool for me to process feelings and emotions and what I’m going through in life,” he says. “But it’s not the end-all, be-all, or the sole thing that brings me joy and success in life. If you put that level of pressure on anything, you’re destined to be never satisfied.”

Whatever Adele asks, Adele receives.

Spotify has removed the shuffle button as a default option, forcing songs to be played in the order the artist intended, after Adele made the request.

“This was the only request I had in our ever changing industry!” Adele tweeted. “We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason. Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended.”

Now artists have to listen to the tracks in order.

Kings favorite Nate Merchant drops his 4th single this year Staying In California. Since his first release the Los Angeles indie artist has been stuck in the 80’s and doesn’t plan on moving from the neon era. It’s fine with me, the Los Angeles producer and songwriter does a good job.

The new track comes off his upcoming, debut EP produced with iconic bassist of John Taylor of Duran Duran.

It’s also his 4th single that reached #1 on the Hype Machine Chart. The previous tracks like Don’t Feel Like Dancing  landed on Spotifys Fresh Finds and Fresh Finds Pop.  Ones To Watch, Billboard, and Sirius XM are also on board the Nate train.  Stream it on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
