Fresh on the scene indie songstress Erica Bitting arises out of sunny Florida.

College student by day and indie artist at night, this twenty year old writes songs in her dorm amidst philosophy and art books, with pictures of Amy Winehouse & Lana Del Rey glued to the wall.

Erica just released the haunting acoustic track ‘Year of Nonstop Love‘ which is about finding love. Already building an audience around her college community, Bitting is a one to watch.

LIGHTS, SYNTHS, Fou De Toi!  That’s what you can expect from the Stockholm indie act along with some Oh Oh Ohs. Fou De Toi has been on the Kings favorite list for sometime, since I heard the track Dreams which has now topped 2 million Spotify streams.

The three piece are back with a new track Don’t Know What To Do. The track was produced by Måns Lundberg (Deportees, Veronica Maggio) and mixed by Lars Norgren (Tove Lo). The band notes “The song is about feeling affection for the first time in a long time“.

Fou De Toi which means ‘crazy about you’ in French is slowly gaining in popularity in the Nordic music scene. Wait, Sweden band with a French name? Oh, well, whatever, nevermind…

You are very active on social media, regularly creating new content including videos & pictures. Do you plan this or is this a day to day activity?
I am! I love interacting with fans on my social media outlets. I think it’s so important to do. Especially in this day and age where that’s where the bulk of people get their news from. I also really enjoy taking pictures and capturing moments, (like going on the road for the first time, or going to an awards show) to look back on down the road! It’s such a special part of my journey that I love sharing with the world. CONTINUE READING
