Two years after his hiatus, 25-year-old Atlanta singer and producer MEBO (Matthew Boutte) marks his return to music with a contemplative single titled “Unravel.” A conclusion to some investigative soul searching he took on during the pandemic, “Unravel” sees him “tackle what was uncomfortable and unravel what needed addressing.” What came out of this introspection is a gripping, and impeccably smooth, R&B track with quasi-kaleidoscopic properties. Embellished by his grounding voice, MEBO coax...

After building his discography the past six years, Bawo further concretes himself as the West London prince of low-frequency bars with his sophomore EP, Legitimate Cause. On stand-out track “Same Team,” which features a guest verse from up-and-comer Reek0, Bawo shares his experiences with trying to focus on his ascent amidst London’s many distractions. The rich timbre of his vocals, laid over sparse but calculated production, gives emotional weight to the track. With such an impressive seven-...

A few months ago, Pennsylvania-based multi-talented musician Spilly Cave released his self-contained, self-titled debut album, and there’s one track in particular on it that’s especially caught our ears. “peddler of whimsy” is a delicate indie-pop gem with soft vocals, comforting percussion, and electric guitars. Only 2 minutes long, the song captivates from the start and leaves us wanting more. With a deep catalog and a growing fanbase, Spilly Cave is carving his own lane in indie-pop. Writt...

While most new songs feel overpolished, Queens-based folk-rock band Diamond Grinder stand out with their unfiltered, DIY sound. Margaret Nygard and Eli Recht-Appel, who first began collaborating during high school in San Francisco, officially formed the band in 2021 after moving to the East Coast. The duo introduced themselves to the world in November with “Wonder”, a textured track with tight melodies, gritty guitars and raw vocals that dig past the surface. Diamond Grinder have transformed ...

Brighton based trio Nokia Mansion have been dropping gems since their debut in 2019, unapologetically carving their own lane in UK rap. They hit the ground running in 2022 with a string of releases, commencing with the beautifully brash “Purple Rain”. Infectious melodies cut through the heavy 808’s and rave worthy synths, each element serving its purpose to form Nokia’s signature soundscapes. The group create all their music, artwork and visuals in house, which is evident in their unique aest...

While she only started releasing music in 2020, NYU student Carliane Tamara is finding her musical footing at an impressive rate. A songwriting assignment turned debut, her first track, “Friends,” offered a playful, no-frills sound. Now, four songs later, the Puerto Rican songstress appears to be on steadier ground. Her latest single, “Kiss in Public,” is a shuffled and crafty track exploring a certain desire for visibility and romantic freedom. Here, she balances creativity and honesty with ...

It’s difficult to stand out in the crowded space of indie-rock, but Norway-hailing singer-songwriter Bo Milli proves herself as a must-hear new voice with her third single, “Good Kid.” The 21-year-old artist, who was brought onto Made Management’s artist roster after launching her project last year, co-produced the angst-ridden anthem with ongoing collaborator Odd Martin. From the existential lyrics and folksy vocals to the explosive, guitar-driven chorus reminiscent of mid-2000s pop rock, Bo...

Many artists strive to find a place amongst the greats, but few actually succeed. Despite only having one track out, with his persistence and distinct sound, we’re eager to see Memphis-based artist Parker Tate climb up that ladder. First finding success with his former duo Mulherin, where he and his twin brother Marshall earned a spot amongst Red Bull Music Academy’s student alumni roster, Parker is now carving his own lane with his solo project.

Australian electronic duo good and you, composed of streetwear brand owner Jordan Collyer and lifestyle influencer Matthew Price, has blessed us with their debut track “give my all to you”. Despite having unconventional backgrounds and little to no industry backing, the two friends have managed to create a remarkable first release – a feat accomplished, as per their usual writing process, across the country over FaceTime.

We love 17-year-old Columbus, Georgia artist Namou for his ability to make fun, simple songs that you don't have to overthink; this is a much larger compliment (and much harder to achieve) than it might sound. This year, he’s back with another. Produced by Jack Laboz, "Qtip" presents an upbeat, smooth exterior with lyrical depth and sincerity beneath the surface; in this case, the story is inspired by his experiences stepping out of his suburban hometown. Run it up, and let's hope f...

Nathan Taylor, better known as Valley Palace, considers his new track, “Victory Lap”, to be the best he’s ever written—and we have to agree. In collaboration with Day Wave, The Fresno, CA native fuses new-wave style guitar with reverb-drenched vocals, resulting in a fresh, but nostalgic indie sound somewhere between Jean Dawson and Modern English. Given that “Victory Lap” was his only release of 2022, it’s clear Valley Palace has taken time to dial in his sound, so keep an eye out for more mu...
