RELEASE RADAR | Premiere from Tally Spear

The weather is warm and the new songs and videos are hot.

RELEASE RADAR is here to give you the breakdown of your top singles, albums, and videos to check out as you head into your weekend. Get ready to jam out with some of our favorite up-and-coming artists, plus celebrate new stuff from those you already know and love.


SINGLES…

Skylar Fri | “Without You I’m Just a Body”

This Danish singer releases her latest single exploring loneliness. What does it mean to only be working to pursue your individual goals without someone there to share the experience with? It’s magical sounding pop elevated to a new dimension of exploration of feeling and self-understanding. Definitely worthy of a listen for those looking for something cool.

⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ Catalina | “Ceremony”

These indie rockers are looking to set the mood for the perfect kind of party, radiating warmth with their electronic and organic sounds blending into something soothing. They started as dorm-mates in college and now create beautiful music together. Download their latest single for something “other-worldly” and just right for whatever your weekend may hold.

Kinnie Starr | “Big World”

The Juno Award-winning songstress is here to give you a taste from her upcoming eighth studio album due out this fall. Combining hip-hop and art pop, the singer has evolved over time to create her unique sound. She explores topics of gender and politics through her art, so this is sure to be right in that vein. The new album will also delve into a brain injury she recovered from following a car accident.

⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ Dig Exotic | “Perfect”

This LA one-woman band is back with her latest single, exploring all about how we view our lovers in the honeymoon phase of relationships, and then what happens when we return to reality. It’s got a darker sound all its own. This follows the release of her debut EP this past winter.

The Made and The Born | “Learn to Love Again”

More electro-pop for your listening pleasure! This duo releases their latest that shows how they build on their southern roots to create something as bright and bold as the place they originally called home. From the sounds of this single, I think we can only expect to hear more jams from these two in the near future.

VIDEOS…

⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ Russian Roulette | “Discarded”

The first single from this musician’s upcoming album now has a video for the acoustic counterpart. Nothing puts you in a mood more than someone jamming hardcore on the beach. The song explores the troubles he’s had with his journey with adoption and how music became his sanctuary after almost dying from a meth binge.

⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ Tally Spear | “Don’t Believe It’s All Me”

This young, talented songstress is living well in the promotion of her latest EP. She’s got a lot more to her, however, than your usual Americana singer. Her voice is soulful, and this self-directed music video is incredibly impressive. Fall into the vintage coloring and be as spellbound as we are by her remarkable talent.

Happy. | “Winona Ryder”

My oh my, it’s time to explore the manic pixie dream girl trope. The song explores how wanting this sort of character to save you from your problems is incredibly ridiculous, even though it totally starts off like a horror movie. Get ready to rock once we get into the story and feel very much at home in your pop-punk roots.
