‘UPWARDS’ - Ela Minus (21k views)
Columbian artist Jimeno was a drummer for a hardcore rock band at age 12 and moved to the U.S. to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston at age 19. She writes, records, and produces all of her music herself using only analog synthesizers. Jimeno's latest single UPWARDS is about safeguarding yourself, your body, and your soul before you can help others.
‘333’ - Iniko (32k views)
Brooklyn-born Iniko is a rising star in the soul scene, known for their celestial voice, songwriting, and multi-instrumental talents. They love blending influences from trap, rock, movie scores, dancehall, and soul. Their new song 333 is an upbeat disco-pop number on the outside, but is about racism, oppression, and slavery on the inside. Time to dance and reflect.
‘Lover Boy’ - Diamond Cafe (48k views)
Diamond Cafe (Tristan Thompson) from British Columbia began his musical journey at age 12 as a Michael Jackson impersonator. Described by critics as blending synth-pop and R&B, Thompson himself likens his music to "bathing in a cloud of honey on a very foggy night" and his new song Lover Boy does just that. 80's time machine alert!
‘Digging Around’ - chlothegod (64k views)
North Carolinian chlothegod used music as an escape from teenage boredom in a tight-knit military community. She found her creative voice in high school through dance, theater, and performing at open mics, and after moving to LA in 2020, she became a full-time artist. Her pop-punk track Digging Around is about being ok with being imperfect. Let go and let god!
‘Sexy Clown’ - Marie Davidson (152k views)
Marie Davidson is a Canadian musician known for her innovative contributions to electronic and experimental music. She forms half of the minimal wave duo Essaie Pas alongside her irl partner, but as a solo artist, Marie loves exploring her ambivalence toward dance music and club culture. Her latest single Sexy Clown is club banger about the downsides of being a performer. Red noses for all!
‘Mine’ - Audrey Nuna (266k views)
R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna was born in New Jersey and attended the Clive Davis Music Institute of NYU. She started making music in her teens covering other artists, and performed 'America the Beautiful' at the US Open Tennis Tournament when she was 10. Her latest single Mine is thumping R&B number about taking control of a shitty relationship. (Or just break up with him idk!)
‘I Only Smoke When I Drink’ - nimino (316k views)
nimino's musical journey began at age 11 with drums and evolved into producing and DJing by 16. Known for his genre-blurring sound that blends house, hip-hop, and garage music, nimino has over 40 million streams across Spotify and SoundCloud. I Only Smoke When I Drink is a soulful dance track that is sure to be another hit. I also only smoke when I drink! Wow, so relatable.
