Look out for Luke Whalen and the new album ‘Going Through thEmotions‘.

Luke says, “The album is meant to show that no matter how you’re feeling, it’s ok that you’re feeling that way, as it’s a part of life. For me, going through the motions is going through emotions, which is where the album gets its clever title from.”

Luke Whalen previously dropped an impressive 3-song EP, ‘Maybe This is Who I Am.’ which drew comparisons from Post Malone to The Kid LAROI

Meet Luke Whalen, a 17-year-old independent artist from Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He’s on a musical journey crafting pop/indie tunes, doing it all solo—mixing, mastering, songwriting, publishing—he’s a one-man show, except for the instrumentals.

In 2019, Luke ventured into music, influenced by his mom’s singing background and his dad’s writing skills, Luke believes he got the best of both worlds. He recently performed at the Durango Songwriting Expo. With 15 singles and a music video under his belt, he’s racking up nearly 250,000 streams on Spotify.

Check out 24 year old artist from Minnesota FlowFanatic and the track Dumb & Young. I like to call it bedroom indie country with vibe. Fans of Bailey Zimmerman, Morgan Wallen, Brantley Gilbert.

FlowFanatic notes, “This song is for my good friend who passed away in November this past year. It’s emotional but also energetic to capture how he was and how he lit up a room.”

He has performed on television in front of over 25,000 viewers. His last two releases have been played on the radio in London twice. I have collaborated with an engineer who has been nominated for 15 Grammys, and he has mixed two of my latest songs. My last hometown show was sold out.

Check out Thunder Jackson and the track Steady Freddy. It’s a well crafted indie alternative track with a ‘good chorus’, something that’s missing these days. Thunder calls it, “a necessary antidote to the plastic world we’re currently living in. This was the first song I wrote for this project and it’s a great introduction.”

The track’s debut includes a music video directed by Jarod Evans. Shot in a boxing ring, the video brings the song alive, highlighted by its inspiring beginning. “The hardest battle you will ever have to fight is between who you are now and who you want to be.”

Check out Laila’s track “I Hope It Kills You” (alternate version). Despite its bold title, this track surprises with its tongue-in-cheek beauty as a ballad, rather than the expected uptempo rocker.

Laila says, “Your lover leaves you for your best friend. Ouch. You take the high road but still pray that karma does her work. This song is meant to be played when you drive home from that breakup, or when you’re crying on the bathroom floor. Take your pick.”

Laila, an actress and singer-songwriter of Jordanian-Canadian descent, gained attention with her initial releases “Strangers at the Airport” and “I Like Girls” at Toronto’s Pride Festival. Her debut EP, “Heart Doesn’t Work Like That,” is now playing on CBC radio across Canada. Recently, she collaborated with artist BRDGS on the upbeat track “I Only Wanna Dance With You.” Additionally, Laila showcased her acting skills in the season finale of Netflix’s “Glamorous,” starring alongside Kim Catrall from “Sex and the City.”
