April 5, 2025

Rising indie folk-pop artist Cloe Wilder delivered a stunning performance at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco this past week. Taking the stage as the opener for Spencer Sutherland, Cloe immediately captivated the crowd with her emotionally driven, yet effortlessly fun set. She’s an artist who knows how to tap into vulnerability and truth in her songwriting while still making it feel light and inviting — a rare gift. Fresh off the release of her third EP Life’s a Bitch, Cloe showcased her evolving artistry with confidence and grace. There’s something in her presence — that haunting, cinematic air — that evokes early Lana Del Rey, both in tone and in persona. But Cloe is very much her own force. Her voice carries a unique softness layered with strength, and she commands attention in the most magnetic way. The crowd was filled with her fans, many of whom were singing along to every word. It was clear that they were just as much there for her as they were for the headliner. The highlight of [Read More]

Tel-Aviv/Israeli based indie pop band RGB are gearing up for the release of their sophomore album, A Place for Lovers. Meanwhile, they have just released their new single off the album, Parties.  The band comments, “Our new single ‘Parties’ captures the feeling of not fitting in, with lyrics that poignantly reflect on isolation, self-criticism and self-doubt. Yet, the song transitions to a hopeful and optimistic chorus with the line, ‘I can finally feel my face in the sun,’ symbolizing a shift from darkness to light, from night to dawn – the overall theme of our new album A Place For Lovers. This emotional journey makes the song both relatable and inspiring.” You can check out the new track with their lyric video here: About the album The songs on A Place For Lovers are part of an ongoing heart play, an intimate, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes melancholy reflection of the ups and downs of Roy and Noi’s personal love story.

Indie Soul Pop Artist Selfdrou9ht releases new single and visualizer

October 23, 2020

  Indie R&B/soul pop artist, Selfdrou9ht announces his new single and accompanying visualizar, “The Comedown.” Central songwriter James Fasulo states, “This is a song about being a placeholder for someone who needs their emotional needs met, and the feeling one has when looking at the situation retrospectively as you’re left behind when you are no longer useful to them.  This is an unfortunately universal experience these days: going from wishing you could have been kept to realizing the user is the one who is losing out. This  realization  is what sets the song tonally;  it’s about self-ownership and restoration of value. The song has tinges of 80’s synth pop with Human League style melody changes, but littered through out are moments reminiscent of *NSYNC, The Weeknd, bedroom pop, and EDM.” Watch the video     About the artist After 10 years of paying dues in the alternative rock/punk scenes and 16 years performing in musical theater, Fasulo finally felt the pull to create something new by himself. He has always felt a disconnect between his artistic self and [Read More]
