Electro pop artist Flavia released her debut track Hateful over the summer. The dark and haunting track was a good first single. Now, she just dropped the playlist-ready single ‘I Don’t Wanna Be Here‘ which is less dark and more colorful. Musically, Dua Lipa comes to mind. It’s a better track too. Before making her debut appearance at SXSW in 2018 and settling in Los Angeles, she spent most of her time writing songs in Italy and Ireland. Moreover, she opened up for Moby and has been performing at festivals. Lastly, she’s put together a hypnotic live performance. All in all, I like it, give it a stream. info@flavia.la

PANDA$ releases the track Every Single Night. Blending all the genres, the track sounds like a predictable hit. The song follows the previous track Love After War which is also pretty darn good. The duo which was formed in NYC remains pretty elusive. The duo notes, “The hope is that this dream of ours will inspire other people to do the same thing we did. Find out who you truly are and what you really want to do and do it! You got one life, don’t live it on someone else’s terms.” Check it out! dangervillagesarah@gmail.com

Today, Kings favorite Caezar dropped a new uptempo track ‘Something New‘. The latest song follows the previous track Hold On which I believe is a smash. Although influenced by Imagine Dragons and Bastille, the band is carving out their own sound. Having performed with Hozier, James Bay and Jack Garrett, the band says “Wherever we’ve performed this track, it has always received an amazing reaction from the crowd.” The upcoming EP was produced by Justin Broad who has worked with Jessie J and Corinne Bailey Rae. Check out the recent interview.

Kings favorite Step Rockets drops the new tracks which are coupled together You/ Bad Dreams. We first profiled Step Rockets and their debut track Kisser in 2013. The track immediately became an internet hit clocking over millions of streams. Giving the band plenty of interest among music labels, the band continued to stay course as a DIY indie band. Since then, they’ve continued to crank out infectious indie pop tunes. The band tells kings, “We’ve found it the most fulfilling as artists releasing music on our own”. Ironically, the Twin Cities band gets better with time. Give it a stream.

Brand new act My Ultra Violet is quickly rising up the ranks with their latest track Wilde As Me. Fronted by Dexy Valentine from Magic Wand, the new song references Oscar Wilde. The Los Angeles trio is venturing into the world of synths and dream pop but with choruses and verses that are digestible. Although the dream pop act aren’t breaking any new barriers, it doesn’t mean they can’t find a home. The previous released single Islands is pretty good as well. Give it a listen.
