Alt-pop trio NONONO releases a radio worthy track ‘Ego’. This unique act made some waves in 2014 with the release of Pumpin Blood that sold more than 2 million singles and landed them on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Kimmel, and a US tour supporting Twenty One Pilots and Foster the People. The Swedish act formed in Stockholm following Stina’s return from Brighton University in the UK where she had spent three years studying for a degree in psychology. She’d been signed by a label as a 17-year-old but had grown weary. “I had done two years of just writing with different producers and there was pressure to always be writing something that could be a hit and there were a lot of strict ways of how songs should sound. It took the fun out of it. It made me really sad and made me think I didn’t want to be a songwriter. But, these guys just encouraged creativity and for the songs not having to be a certain way – as long as you feel it and it feels good.” Give the new track a stream.

Brooklyn based artist producer Kevin Andreas rolls out a new track Best Life. As his previous releases, the track blends pop, rock, hip hop and r&b. Andreas has several tracks lined up that will be released in the coming months. Moreover, Andreas co-wrote and sang the hook on A$AP Rocky’s breakout song Peso.

Riva Taylor delivers a soulful track My Mouth. Many believe Taylor Swift was the youngest ever to sign with a major music label, but it’s Riva Taylor who signed with EMI at 12. Why the mistake? Because Taylor Swift is famous and Riva is just getting started. Of course they sound nothing alike. With her latest track produced by Jonathan Quarmby, (James Arthur), think Kate Bush meets Florence Welch. If Riva does make it, she’ll be prepared for the antics that comes with from being in demand. At 12, she performed at the Farm Aid benefit concert at the Royal Albert Hall, that was attended by Prince Charles who praised her performance. Moreover, she has intellect, graduating from the University of Durham after undertaking a three-year degree in History. Check it out!

Kings favorite Em Rossi releases a new single “No Longer The Same” with the Smule app that has 60 million users world wide. The single was also featured on Bay Area ABC7 news. The 20 year old singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles has been rolling out beautifully sad songs that has garnered millions of YouTube streams. Much of her inspiration comes from losing a parent at an early age. Em notes, “Everyone deals with death in different ways. I’ve watched family, friends, and myself go through it and it’s safe to say I’ve seen it all. It’s definitely a harsh reality check. It’s honestly indescribable. Only those who have gone through the same thing could even begin to understand the shock and sadness”. It’s rare when an artist truly expresses their emotions through music. Demi Lovato did it with ‘Sober’ and Em does it with her latest track No Longer The Same. Like any true artist, Em isn’t looking for fame. “Music became my core and no matter what happens or where it takes me, I am proud to say that I nor my family chose to close the doors and hide from the world” says Em.

Check out the self proclaimed emo boy-band MILKK. The band released two EP’s with tracks landing on Spotify’s Indie Shuffle and Fresh Finds. The latest track Leaving landed on Spotify’s Indie Pop Chillout Playlist. For a brand new band, they have gotten a foothold in the scene rather quickly. The songs are good and its resonating in the indie pop world. Lead vocalist Pat Kiloran notes, “There is an audience for every artist, it’s just finding them and how to find them. We knew almost immediately the age range and demographic of our audience, which is why we took it to Twitter and took it directly to the fans. It’s proven time and time again that if you know your audience you can take it directly to them and don’t have to shell out tons of money”. It’s a challenge for any artist to find their audience, but I think these Nashville natives may have.
