Lu Kala is a rising Congolese-Canadian singer who began her career writing for Jennifer Hudson. She won the grand prize at Royal Bank of Canada's Emerging Musician Program, was recently nominated for two Juno Awards, and won the Billboard Canada Women in Music Rising Star Award for 2024.

‘Downtime’ - Sam Silver, Leap 96, ALRT & Yona (12k views)
NYC native Sam Silver began honing his craft producing and writing electronic pop music at the age of 13. Some of his biggest influences are Diplo, Martin Garrix, Dillon Francis and DJ Snake. He's been releasing music independently since 2019, and was just signed to TH3RD BRAIN Records this year. His new single Downtime is a dance collab with French singer Yona. Oh la la!
‘My Only Dream Is To Be Loved’ - Chrissy Chlapecka (31k views)
American singer, TikTok personality, and left-wing activist Chrissy Chlapecka is making quite the name for herself. She's best known as a key figure in BimboTok, a TikTok subculture about reclaiming the bimbo stereotype/aesthetic in a queer, feminist, and leftist context. My Only Dream Is To Be Loved is a passionate and powerful 80's pop-rock anthem that's giving old school Gaga. Iconic I fear!
‘Daijoubu Desu’ - HARU NEMURI & Frost Children (31k views)
Frost Children continue to eat and also chomp, this time with a new friend HARU NEMURI. The two artists initially met on tour in 2021 and vowed to do a future project together. With the perfect amount of punk, hip-hop, indie sleaze, and dance, their single Daijoubu Desu will scratch every pop itch you have. Please check out the entire Soul Kiss EP, you will not regret it!
‘UMPA’ - Fcukers (33k views)
Fcukers is an electronic band formed in NYC in 2022. Jackson Lewis and Ben Scharf left their previous band Spud Cannon and partnered with vocalist Shannon Wise (former front woman of The Shacks) to begin experimenting with house music. After working with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, they released their debut EP Baggy$$. I demand you enjoy their new single UMPA. Do it now!
‘Kissing With The Top Down’ - LAUREL (36k views)
London based British indie musician Laurel released her first EP over a decade ago and has been climbing the pop ranks ever since. She moved away from her traditional indie sound into a more 80's vibe with EP Petrol Bloom in 2020. Now, she's found a nice balance of both with her new album Palpitations and latest sunshiny autumn single Kissing With The Top Down. Get into it and her tysm!
‘4AM’ - Biig Piig (53k views)
Biig Piig (Jessica Smyth) is an Irish singer and rapper based in West London. "Biig Piig" has explained that the name "puts no pressure on me to be a certain way - I can be a mess, and I can also be cute and put together." (I wish I had a cute and put together pig. 😭) Her latest track 4AM is about the loneliness you feel late at night when all goes quiet. Dancy yet chill!
‘dog’ - piri & tommy (54k views)
English drum and bass duo Piri & Tommy formed in 2021 after first meeting in 2020 through Instagram. They quickly started dating, shared their love for dance music, and eventually began making their own music together. They sadly broke up in 2023, but that hasn't stopped them from making bops like new single dog. The show must go on, after all! Great music lasts forever, relationships don't.
‘SAiLOR MOON’ - Sorana (65k views)
Romanian singer and songwriter Sorana took part in X Factor Romania and was a part of the Romanian group Lala Band. She left for London in 2015 and has since written for artists like Ava Max, Little Mix, and David Guetta. Her new pop smash SAiLOR MOON states "Imma Lasso you with my hair and take you straight to my lair" so like what the hell more do you want? Obsessed, etc.
‘Won't Cry’ - Amber Mark (129k views)
Amber Mark is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who's musical style crosses hip hop, R&B, soul, and bossa nova. Amber taught herself how to play guitar at a young age, sang in her high school choir, and joined an after school rock ensemble. Fast forward to 2019 when she was nominated for a Grammy! Her new song Won't Cry is a groovy disco-dance number that won't quit.
