KOAR favorite Sophie Rose releases the track Pink Lipstick.  Sophie has a knack of writing well crafted songs. Her latest is very Meghan Trainor-esque. The new single follows Two Young Lovers which was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist and is currently on Apple Music’s Taylor Swift’s Favorite Songs playlist. The 17 year old singer-songwriter, who has written nearly 500 songs, and is signed to a publishing joint venture between Ester Dean and Dr. Luke’s Prescription Songs.

Chicago based Tyler Sjöström releases the new single ‘I Don’t Know You Don’t Know‘. Having began as an indie folk artist, Tyler found himself in the topline world of EDM. Having a feature on a track that has 13 million Spotify streams, he’s slowly building a European audience.  I haven’t seen someone transition from indie folk to EDM/Pop, but after listening to the latest single, Tyler could do it. Yes, the track is that good. Check him out March 21st at Bourbon on Division in Chicago, IL
