“A trip back to the future. Classic retro sounds mixed with nu school precision. Crisp cuts and blends of a warm and friendly interpretation. His voice encapsulates the feel-good progressive love story told. We like that fuzzed out synth solo. ”

Tessa Violet – YES MOM
(Spotify)

“It has attitude and yet its alluring all in one. Beats pretty dope and we enjoy the bass drops. Foundation of the rhythm is well put together and complexity of the production process is evident. We dig her sweet, charming voice but know it’s a mask. ”

-Nagamag.com

Today, artist and songwriter Tessa Violet has debuted her new single “YES MOM,” the first single from her forthcoming sophomore album due out later this year. Stream the track everywhere here.

An electrifying alt-pop anthem, “YES MOM” is a self-love manifesto infused with dynamic drums and booming bass lines that set a grandiose stage for Tessa's forthcoming new album. A wink at her meteoric rise over the last few years, "YES MOM" sees Tessa assert her agency and empower listeners to be their own #1 fan.

And, Tessa’s self-proclaimed dominance is expressed rightfully so with this highly-anticipated track already gaining major steam before its official release. Bolstered by a self-launched TikTok trend that has now amassed 63K+ unique TikTok creates with 350 million views on Tessa's creates alone, fans have been itching for the single drop and have even stopped her on the street.

Tessa will be back on the road this year as direct support for UK indie-pop singer-songwriter, Cavetown. Together, they will traverse 25 U.S. markets beginning March 22. Tessa has also confirmed a run of 2022 festival dates including a performance at January's 8123 Fest and an upcoming performance at Bottlerock.

Tessa's 2019 independently released debut album, Bad Ideas, has paved a foundation that has solidified her place among the top rising artists in alternative pop. The album earned Tessa a spot on Spotify’s Times Square billboard along with a Genius ‘Verified,’ not to mention over 250 million aggregate streams on her hit single “Crush.”

Stymied by the pandemic and her planned album tour off the table, Tessa blazed a path of her own through 2020/21, reworking several singles off Bad Ideas, including collaborations with MisterWives on “Bored” and Chloe Moriondo on “Words Ain’t Enough." Tessa's standout rework of single "Games" featuring L.A. indie rock outfit lovelytheband and its Twilight-inspired video saw love from the likes of PAPER, LADYGUNN, and Hollywood Life. Single “Wishful Drinking” also received a spotlight on the heels of Tessa's massive TikTok trend that now has over 225k unique videos.

On the live side, Tessa kept eager fans engaged with the launch of an exclusive livestream event - 'Bad Ideas: The Experience' - which took place in May 2021 as a final celebration of Bad Ideas. Tessa also collaborated on a string of livestream performances with outlets such as SPIN, Bandsintown, and EARMILK and even garnered an 'Artist of the Week' designation by Live Nation / Ones To Watch featuring a performance on the Live Nation Instagram.

Watch closely in the coming months; “YES MOM” is only the beginning of a whole new era for Tessa Violet.

Growing up an only child in a small town, Tessa always had a deep desire to create authentic connections with people. YouTube was the first platform which allowed her to foster those connections and, as the world moves ever more digital, Tessa continues to spearhead the building of online artist communities and often collaborates with other artists through live streams.

Raised in Oregon, Tessa eventually moved to Nashville where she began to focus on songwriting, sparking her shift towards a career in music. Now based in Los Angeles, Tessa has remained independent and continues to showcase her fiery delivery and masterful lyricism, commanding the world to know her name.

Tessa has also established herself as a captivating, fearless live frontwoman, catapulting her otherwise spunky, eclectic recordings to an intoxicating new level of raw, unabashed rock. She and her shredding live band have sold out headline tours in the U.S. and Europe, joined AJR, COIN, and Misterwives on direct support tours, and crushed a debut festival performance at Lollapalooza.

Emily Shirley – The Last Time
(Spotify)

“The famous Emily Shirley is here with another interesting single. Moving forward in the Electro Pop scene, she shares a heartwarming story with her audience. Those captivating vocals and lyrics coming straight from the heart, couldn't leave us indifferent.”

-Nagamag.com

Emily Shirley’s brand of thoughtful songwriter pop/rock is as finely tuned and brightly colored as the graphic design projects she works on for her day gig. Her latest release, DuoTone, is a genre-bending hybrid of indie-pop melodies woven over thoughtful, grounded lyrics. It represents the full, vibrant sonic image of a writer who has come into her own in the Austin, Texas scene.

A Connecticut native, Emily was steeped in church choir, musical theater, and Debbie Gibson at a young age. Classically trained on piano and a veteran of high school and college semi-pro acapella choirs, she found her place as a vocalist and writer when she joined the Boston based band Amun Ra as the lead singer, touring their soulful pop songwriting with breakbeats and electronica to clubs across the Northeast. They released 2 full length albums in her 6 years with them.

In 2006, Emily moved to Austin, Texas and realigned her musical existence. Starting over in a new city without a band as well as juggling her graphic design business and being a mom, “I had to carve out my solo space and find a way to let music work with my lifestyle,” she notes. She fell in love with the piano again and began writing and gigging; she released her EP Tiny Truths in 2010, produced by Daniel Barrett (Ruthie Foster, Susan Gibson). Reviewsic described the EP’s sound as “executed with the same old-meets-new-quirkiness of Feist.” In 2013 she found her band again, joining Austin favorite The Belle Sounds on piano, synth, and vocals. She's toured Texas and the West Coast with The Belle Sounds, performing in esteemed venues like Strange Brew in Austin and The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.

Most recently, Emily released a series of singles that culminated in the release of her 2015 EP DuoTone, now available as a limited edition disc. Featuring songs produced by Mark Hallman (Carole King, Ani DiFranco) and Daniel Barrett, DuoTone displays Emily's ability to illuminate scenes and landscapes through sound. "Suffering Soul" has a sonic palette that drops the listener in the middle of the desert, parched and desperate, searching for salvation. “Starstruck” brings a swinging piano and brassy horns to themes of nostalgia for more innocent artistic times, and hints to her list of musical influences like Nellie McKay and Rufus Wainwright. Emily Shirley’s artistic point of view and skillful sonic experimentation make for a varied and stirring repertoire. “My formative years are still happening,” she jokes when describing her musical life, the honest response of a musician and creator always on the lookout for the next spark.

Estella Dawn – Salt
(Spotify)

“Many of us have to fight in life to cope with difficult situations, or even find the way to escape. "Estella Dawn" reveals this truth and also her inner thoughts via her new Electro Pop single. "Salt" can truly touch our souls and reveal a lot through its lyrics.”

-Nagamag.com

Denver, CO — When you feel like you’ve hit your own personal rock bottom, when you’re frustrated with the world, with yourself, with everybody around you, when it’s hard to feel positive because it feels like life is throwing punch after punch at you and you don’t feel like you have the strength to take it. In the words of artist Estella Dawn, “sometimes you just need to let tears flow and cleanse the things that you can’t control.”

https://twitter.com/estella_dawn

Dawn has strong views about the world and isn’t afraid to share them through her engaging, candid music. “I’ve always seen my internal darkness as wolves, I’m either part of the pack, or on the run from the parts of myself that scare me. But no matter which side I’m on, they’re always there. When the pack is descending and my mind starts spiraling it feels like all I can do is keep my head down and set one foot in front of the other, just getting through the day in hope of a better tomorrow.”

https://www.facebook.com/estelladawnmusic/

She adds, “we all have our own ways to cope, whether it’s having a cry sitting on the floor of your shower or screaming along to aggressive rock music in the car, buying too many house plants or finding comfort in somebody else's company, drinking, smoking, eating, the list goes on. We’re all just doing our best.”

KellyMarie – Timing Right
(Spotify)

“"KellyMarie" is back and proves her talent once again. Her playful singing style is perfectly matched with melody and beat. Now is the right time to lay back and simply synchronize your ears with this sound. Don't miss it!”

-Nagamag.com

Indie-pop singer-songwriter KellyMarie delivers a captivating follow up to her 2018 debut EP, On A Whim, with her newest single, “Timing Right,” out February 4th. The artist is set to celebrate this release the following night with her first post-lockdown show opening for American band Mae at Dallas’ Granada Theater on Saturday, February 5th. KellyMarie shows listeners with this release just what she’s had in the works during her time away; her performance will feature more new songs from the upcoming album due for release in March 2022. This new project was a moment for the artist in which she dove head first into creating a body of work inspired by beloved house-hold television staple, The Office. “It’s often said - write about what you know and love,” says the seasoned songstress, “so during the lockdown, [she] did just this.” KellyMarie found herself writing the lead single for this album in the electric moment that inspiration hit. Beyond the angelic vocals and breezy melodies fans have already fallen in love with, listeners can expect to encounter a new side of KellyMarie’s artistry that offers a deeper look into the singer we met in 2018.

Alyssa Reid -Roses
(Video)

“If you look for explosive sound, “Roses” should be included in your choices. The well-known Alyssa has used her spontaneous creativity in this Electro Pop candy. Carefully mixed patterns, excellent flow and memorable vocal performance, directly affecting each listener.”

-Nagamag.com

When her first single “Alone Again” (ft. P. Reign) became a massive global hit, getting certified Double Platinum in Canada and selling over a million copies around the world – Alyssa Reid knew she had found her path. Fast forward to 2022 and Reid has played on stages around the world, been nominated for JUNO Awards & MMVA’s, and has had hit after hit – crossing genres and pop music boundaries as a singer-songwriter.

The taboo new track, “Roses,” wasn’t meant to be released as Reid wasn’t thinking about how others might perceive it – she only knew where she was at when she felt compelled to write which was an inexplicable state of numbness. Sitting down at the piano one day, Reid picked a starting chord and the entire song just spilled out.

Beside the Pool – Love Is a Religion
(Spotify)

“Bold title and explosive chorus, which can increase your heartbeat in a blink of an eye. This new release comes with plenty of Electro Pop energy, passionate lyrics and professional performance.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"'Love Is a Religion' not only refers to the fact that love shouldn't have any boundaries, race or gender (love is free!) but also the importance of the connection you have with your loved ones (friends, family, you lover). This connection can really help you heal. This track is more about being down because of all the pressure society tends to kind of build these days. Especially the pressure that comes from social media, or just worrying about our futures, breaking up with someone, hectic lifestyles, all the rush, triggers and not having enough time to kind of reconnect with yourself.

The 'storms' I'm referring to in the song are the downs I was going through at the time. But what helped me go through that period is my family and my friends, I've always felt loved and blessed to have these people in my life, it's always been very important to me.

I feel like a lot of young people are going through these things and a lot of us kind of push them deeper and deeper inside. We let these things pile up until they explode in worst possible ways."

Ian Abel – Right Hand Man
(Spotify)

“Breaking the ordinary sound boundaries, Ian Abel targets on plenty of humour and unpredictable riffs on Hyperpop. Escape from the typical music and cheer up with the funny lyrics of this fresh release.”

-Nagamag.com

Keep your pants on, because Ian Abel’s newest single “Right Hand Man” dropped on Feb 10th, 2022 and it’s the quirky, gay hyperpop smash the world needs right now.

“Right Hand Man” is a cheery, taunting pop tune, with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, punchy synths, and an infectious earworm of a chorus. It’s naughty, effervescent and fun, all in one.

“Imagine you’re getting a drink at a sunny gay resort and you spot a cute stranger flirting with your man,” says Abel. “Then imagine you don’t even care: that’s what this song is about.”

“Right Hand Man” is accompanied by a low-concept music video following a big juicy butt as it walks around the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City, bouncing from bar to bar, meeting up with friends, and even getting some light fondling action.

“These days I think we can also use entertainment that lightens the mood and doesn’t take itself too seriously,” says Abel. “I certainly don’t.”

https://ianabelmusic.com/

Ian Abel (pronounced “able”) is, at the bottom of it all, a queer comic book nerd with a heart of gold. With an oh-so-smooth velvety voice and sensual, psychedelic electro-pop arrangements, he’s like if Sam Smith met Robyn or Jessie Ware met James Blake, all with a side of Peter Gabriel. He’s not just your standard indie voice.

https://twitter.com/ianabelmusic

For well over a decade, Ian has been an artist and performer. He has performed around the world and with greats like Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Fallon, and the SNL band. He has sung onstage at Carnegie Hall, on Chinese national television, and in festivals in Sun Valley, New York, and Edinburgh. Currently, Ian resides in New York City, where he hopes to get back to performing live soon.

https://www.facebook.com/ianabelmusic/

He released his debut EP “Icarus” in 2016, and his songs and videos have been featured on Howl & Echoes, Wolf In a Suit, Clout, Indietronica, Milk Crater, Mystic Sons, and Spotify’s Fresh Finds.

Gillian Baci – Feel at Home
(Spotify)

“Many believe that music has curing properties and that's true. "Feel at Home" is a bright example of positive influence, supportive mood and hope, all wisely included in this Electro Pop song. Lyrics of unique power and undoubtedly excellent artistic performance.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"Inspiration and Meaning
Feel at Home was inspired, to a large extent, by my journey out of depression. I used to be more sad, angry, and worried than happy, joyous, or at peace. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to get out of hell. This search led me to Alan Watts and the Wisdom of Insecurity (a book I highly recommend for everyone). It was here that I understood that I was the problem, or more specifically, my reactions to the negative side of life was the problem.

Thus, the main meaning behind the song is that, to feel at home (be at peace), it is necessary to let go of all desires that tie you down. This doesn’t mean don’t chase your dreams or seek happiness. Rather, it means that you should be ready to let go of these desires when they become burdens (i.e. when you are sad but want so desperately to be happy). For the pain in suffering isn’t the suffering itself but the desire to run from suffering. This is what ‘embrace your mind’ in the chorus is trying to say.

Fun Fact
FAH is the only song of mine that’s made me cry. The first time it happened, I was so shocked. I even thought it was a fluke. But to my wild surprise, I cried on 2 other occasions. The reason why I cry is not cos I’m sad but cos I remember the me who used to be depressed. I see him in my mind’s eye and from there I get to thinking of all those other people who are currently dealing with depression and can’t find their way out of it. As I type this, I can begin to feel tears forming so I will stop. I have no desire to cry today…lol."
