Up and coming singer-songwriter Mavenne has released an EP “Nice To Meet You“.  It’s a collection of strong songs akin to BØRNS, Skylar Grey, Birdy, and Lana Del Rey. My favorites are Bored Games and Faraway Far. Although she was a winner in the California Music Video Awards, Mavenne has been flying under the radar but I think this new EP will find a way on plenty of playlists, like our playlist. Give it a stream on Indie Invaders.

Brand new artist Floss releases her debut single Kings & Queens. It’s a really solid track, very cinematic, and soundtrack ready. BBC introducing jumped on board and played the track. The UK alt singer-songwriter is influenced by the likes of Lana Del Rey and Florence and the Machine. Check out the track on the Indie Invaders Playlist.

I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of indie folk, but I got quickly hooked on the track Some Of Your Songs by David Ost. He’s a singer-songwriter that bounced back and forth between Germany and Scotland, now residing in Hamburg. His goal was to create an original soundtrack for an off-pop riot you won’t be able to get out of your head any time soon. I must say mission accomplished, and pretty darn good for a second single.

If it’s not revisiting old drama with Kardashians then Taylor Swift is attacking Bieber manager Scooter Braun for buying her masters. She had a chance to buy her masters, but shot down the offer. Her former label Big Machine has released a collection of previously released live recordings. This is typical in business, but Taylor doesn’t like it. Why? I don’t know. She gets paid and will cash the check.
She accused Scooter Braun of “shameless greed in the time of coronavirus”. She also attacked the financial backers 23 Capital including the Soros family and the Carlyle Group.
I’ll be honest, it’s hard to have sympathy for showbiz people who want to gyp the people who gambled on them when they were nobodies. Especially showbiz people worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You want to keep all your rights? Bankroll your own expenses from the get-go, instead of chasing investor money.

Up and coming indie artist Wrenn releases the track Internet Gaming. The 20 year old imagined herself being stuck inside when she wrote the song. Very prophetic, because who would ever thought we all be stuck at home?  The Los Angeles based singer-songwriter sounds a bit like some acts from the nineties – Shirley Manson, Courtney Love. Not surprising, she cites Nirvana, Mazzy Star, and Dido as influences. Give it a stream on our Indie Invaders Playlist.
