Sophia Somajo has released her latest single Amphatamine that comes off her latest 7 song album Freudian Slip.
The Swedish singer-songwriter is a big deal behind-the-scenes. She’s well known for writing Billboard #1’s for other artists alongside her publisher Max Martin. Having gone under secret names, Sophia has been stepping out of the shadows releasing her own material which has won over music sites including Line of Best Fit, Popjustice and Pigeon and Planes.
Having released two album, the approach to the new record is different. Known for writing, recording, and producing her own music, it’s the first time she brought in outside producers including Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey), Tobias Jimson, and Michel Flygare (Tove Lo). Regardless, she wrote all the melodies, lyrics and recorded her vocals in her safe place – the bedroom, and these new set of songs could propel her to a household name.

“Brought up in a generation where little girls will soon be stars, be rich, without doing anything” moans Fiona Grey in her new release Money. The track which is a slant on pop culture and layered in strings was produced by Mike Schuppan (M83). With a background in musical theatre, the cinematic singer could easily be compared to the likes of Lorde and Debbie Harry.
Having performed at LA’s Troubadour and Resident, and sharing the stage with Charli XCX and Foals, Fiona Grey is ripe for the big stage.

“Cheat Codes are poised to breakout with their perfect deep-house electro pop blend”. This is what I wrote about Cheat Codes in 2015 and breakout they did. Cheat Codes, a Kings favorite and who we featured in the beginnings of their career before they skyrocketed have released a new track No Promises featuring Demi Lovato. Have you heard it? Think tropical house crossing with mainstream pop.
The Los Angeles based electro hip-pop trio comprised of Trevor Dahl, Matthew Russell and Kevin Ford has clocked over 1 billion streams, and will head out on their No Promises World Tour this summer. Their upcoming show at the Hard Rock Pool in Vegas on May 13th will be fun.
