SUMMARY:Rose Starring - Cherry Coke
DESCRIPTION:“Cherry Coke\,” Rose Starring’s long-anticipated summer single\, is a carefree\, 80s-inspired electropop track that will have you dancing with your cherry coke! Omgprkr’s intricate production is both retro and new\, combining the best of both worlds to create the perfect summer bop. Written during Rose’s coming of age\, “Cherry Coke” encapsulates the confidence and carelessness of teenagehood while subtly paying tribute to sapphic love. \nPre-save Link\nhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/rosestarring/cherry-coke \nInstagram\nhttps://www.instagram.com/rose.starring

SUMMARY:Radio Stevie - Heartbreaker
DESCRIPTION:Dance artist Radio Stevie is set to drop new groove ‘Heartbreaker’\, the lead single off of his forthcoming debut album “JOINTS” \nGenre\nAlt-pop/Electronic \nPre-save Link\nhttps://onerpm.link/564303466474 \nInstagram\nhttps://Instagram.com/radiostevie \n“Heartbreaker” is a vocal track from my debut album “JOINTS” that will be available on all streaming platforms July 22.This dance-friendly groove comes alive with the addition of live elements. I used to do some singing and rapping with a jazz band\, so bringing in live instrumentation to take my productions to the next level is really important to me. When I was in high school\, I started to expand my musical interests outside of what I grew up. That lead me to bands like Depeche Mode\, OMD\, Blondie\, and other synth friendly post punk vibes that had alternative pop elements to it and I think those influences really come alive here. \nMy goal with this album was to create a series of joints that worked well together\, even if they played with different influences and songs. For me\, what ties it all together is the spirit and the mood of the songs. I am a pretty genre-less artist and with my music I try to create moods rather than songs that fit a singular genre. Hence\, why it is sometime hard to find the right genre on this site! \n“Heartbreaker” is one of my favorite tracks on the album and hope music listeners here enjoy its production quality\, lyrics\, and the live elements that take it from electronic song to rockstar track! \nJoin the Q LGBTQ Creative Network

SUMMARY:daena - Oversharing
DESCRIPTION:Nashville-based\, queer indie pop/rock artist daena returns for the summer with her new single “OverSharing”! Stacked with crunchy electric guitars\, an über-hooky chorus melody and punchy live drums\, it’s as if “Celebrity Skin” by Hole had a baby with Garbage and Olivia Rodrigo. It’s a slight departure from daena’s earlier synth pop sound\, but her signature tongue-in-cheek pop lyrics and a fun vocal full of attitude + grit thread it all together. \ndaena’s next singles are set to release later this summer and fall\, leading up to her 90s pop/rock inspired full-length record in early 2023. \ndaena’s songs have been placed on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” and “Night Pop” editorial playlists\, and featured on iHeart Radio\, Nashville’s Lightning 100 and Breaking Sound Radio. She regularly performs at the legendary Bluebird Cafe\, as well as local shows like Musician’s Corner\, Sevier Park Fest\, Light the Nations and Popoff Nashville. Her single “Close Isn’t Enough” has organically amassed over 770k on Spotify\, and she’s racked up over 26k TikTok followers to boot. \nPre-Save Link\nhttps://ffm.to/oversharing

SUMMARY:Fading Out - Falling Apart
DESCRIPTION:Falling Apart is a self-reflective cinematic indie ballad written after a week of partying too hard with the realization that I needed to make a change. This was the first song that I ever wrote and it started in a dark place where I criticized different aspects of myself\, but eventually led to a sense of discovery. \nPre-save Link\nhttps://cageriot.ffm.to/reckless

SUMMARY:Ralphy - Wanted
DESCRIPTION:Picture this: a stolen car blazing down the highway\, a fearless outlaw on-the-run with one stiletto heel on the gas. This is the vibe of Ralphy’s hot new single\, ‘Wanted’— exciting\, edgy\, and daring you to keep up. Penned by Ralphy and her writing partner\, Matthieu McReina\, and produced by Casey Sullivan and Yuri Buzynnik. This latest track sees Ralphy’s genre-crossing sound take on a totally new vibe: dark and grungy\, with an electronic-rock feel that’s more ‘90s than ‘70s. \nAt its core ‘Wanted’ is all about unstoppable\, unapologetic forward momentum: backed by the pounding beat\, Ralphy delivers up the line\, “I’m never slowing down for the heart of a man.” It’s a triumphant chorus that celebrates the power and challenge of living life on your own terms. She doesn’t have time for judgement or cheap comments — instead she offers up a casual threat of her own: “You want to walk in these boots? I’d like to see you try — no\, you couldn’t walk in these boots if you wanted to.” \nWith ‘Wanted’ Ralphy gives us all the explosive energy we’ve come to know and love from her dance-floor filling songs\, with an added twist of fearless glamorous grit. \nPre-save Link\nhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/ralphy4/wanted

SUMMARY:NO.AH - One
DESCRIPTION:ONE was spawned from anger then subsequently; catharsis. Getting ghosted is something that we tell ourselves we should just gloss over\, that it isn’t a big deal – but it stings. Those feelings stockpiled until they became this track. I fully produced this track myself\, so I am very proud of it. Growling 808s over lush bells invite you into the jungle of my desire. I loved creating this song because it freed me from the feelings that inspired it. \nPre-save Link\nhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/noah58/one

SUMMARY:Eraste - Lead Role
DESCRIPTION:Texas-based artist\, Eraste (air-este)\, spent the majority of her adolescence alone in her affection for music. A 21-year-old self-taught singer and instrumentalist\, Eraste did not grow up in a musical household. The extent of her formal training was brief piano lessons at the age of 12\, where her teacher bribed her to show up with Mountain Dew (she really hated piano lessons\, but she loved Mountain Dew.)\n\n\n \n\n\nWorship leader turned pop prodigy\, she takes her influence anywhere from 2010’s pop artists like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift\, to the 2014 tumblr “grunge”era\, to the storytelling of country music. Eraste brings her unconventional up-bringing to her music\, creating an honest product of fear and loneliness; with her extremely distinct vocal tone.\n\n\n \n\n\nEraste’s piercing voice combines with her raw emotion in her debut single\, ‘Break My Own Heart’\, as well as gives insight into her inspiration from artists like Lorde and Halsey. She went on to release a 5 song EP\, ‘crashing every party’ that was described as “…the equivalent of neon makeup running down tear-stained cheeks with hard-hitting emotional lyrics…a rejection of stylistic boundaries”

SUMMARY:Franxx - Angel Musiq EP
DESCRIPTION:“Angel Musiq” is the title track off my second EP. This song embodies the energy and spiritual elements of my sound that I’ve always worked with\, but illustrates the entrance of Franxx into a softer\, more cohesive – “Pop” style dance genre. Whilst the elements of experimental electronic dance will always be present in my music\, in this song I wanted to not only have some campy fun – with the radio tagline elements for example – but also something more vulnerable\, and written from a sincere place of heart rather than an abstract spiritual download. \nAngel Musiq was written for the girls to feel motivated\, get ready\, and go on to be their most confident selves! This album represents my journey of healing\, confident\, and inspiration and I hope this song can do the same. \nPre-save Link\nhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/franxx/angel-musiq

SUMMARY:Mint Simon - Real Love
DESCRIPTION:“Real Love” Song Credits\nWritten by Mint Simon\nProduced by Isabelle Banos\nMixed & Mastered by Davey Oberlin \nWhile only 3 singles in (“Tongue Tied”\, “Some of Everything”\, & “Used for Love”)\, Mint has garnered support from some of the industry’s best including heavily playlisted on Spotify’s ‘Night Pop’\, ‘Out Now & ‘Fresh Finds’\, Apple\, Amazon\, MTV’s Bop Shop\, Attitude\, Autostraddle\, TheReviewsAreIn\, Kaltblut\, GLAAD\, Out Front Magazine\, CBC\, Jon Ali’s Queer Necessities\, Q Review\, iHeartRadio\, Atwood Magazine\, and many more. \nWhat’s the Story About Mint Simon (they/them)?\nMint Simon is the debut solo project of the front person of indie-pop band Caveboy. Born and raised in Montreal\, Mint is a theatre kid\, turned band lead\, turned pop star living somewhere on the gender spectrum between Cher and Prince. This debut solo project sees Mint’s new musical romance unfolding\, and their soul spilling out. Their new music is a sonic and lyrical exploration on love\, missed opportunities\, desire\, and sexual liberation. Mint is using this as a vehicle for self-discovery and expression\, as they develop their unique musical sound as a solo act while sharing their journey of self-acceptance with captivating and effortlessly catchy pop tunes. Leather\, pleather\, shimmer n glimmer – they are unapologetically queer – a pop prince tapping into their 80s and 90s influences\, while being unabashedly themselves and having zero restrictions.

SUMMARY:TeawhYB - Head In The Clouds
DESCRIPTION:In a dream-like state\, “Head In The Clouds” captures the intensified euphoria felt by a new romance; whether love or lust\, emotions cloud judgement. A fun-bouncy\, chill-pop production by Sean Sison (cred: Tyla Yaweh\, Trippie Redd\, PNB Rock\, Morray) is bolstered by homo-erotic storytelling while TeawhYB questions the authenticity of his infatuation. Forgiving the perceived promiscuous past of his potential partner\, he lives in the moment\, along for the ride.  \n \nAccompanied by a 3D animated music video and a Pride Month tour including stops in San Diego\, Nebraska\, Indiana\, and Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Michael Rider - Cycle
DESCRIPTION:Album Release\nArtist\nMichael Rider\nTitle\nCycle\nInstagram\n@michaelwrider\nPre-Save Link\nhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/michaelrider/cycle\nAdditional Details\nMichael Rider revisits 10 year of making music on “Cycle” their newest\, fourth studio album\, which is set to release May 13th with Grimalkin Records.\nCycle\, the fourth studio album from dream pop singer-songwriter Michael Rider (they/ them)\, releases May 13th with Grimalkin Records. The album is partially inspired by their first album Lighthouse passing its ten year anniversary\, being originally released in 2011.\nAfter years of working with several producers to create their last full-length album Temptation\, Rider decided to take the creative process in a different direction\, opting to work in- depth with three collaborators: Brooklyn-based pop artist M the Myth\, Voyager Sound Studio’s Nathan Feler\, and multi-instrumentalist Richard L. Entrup. Although the majority of the album was made over Zoom\, Rider described the process as being “intuitive\, seamless\, and fun” and called the record one that “made itself.”\nThe album is a revisit of themes discussed in their previous works\, namely their pursuit of healthy relationships\, both romantically and with themself. Rider reflects on why they find themself stuck in a cycle of toxicity where they fall into the same kind of destructive love time and time again. The lyrics also delve into the duality present in the different phases of life one encounters and how one must embrace its dialect in order to find balance both internally and externally. “Looking at both sides of the coin gives me the insight to challenge myself and hopefully make a positive personal change.” The track list is a response to itself\, with the topics in the first half of the album being reversed in the back half.\nThe opener “Tower” is about feeling disconnected from others while the closer “Battle of Heart” is about the discomfort that comes when finally faced with intimacy and vulnerability. This back and forth continues through discussion of the desires and fears that come with love and accepting them. The introspective nature of the project mirrors both Rider’s personal growth and artistic maturity over the past decade\, responding to the anger and confusion of their debut work.\nBorn and raised in Richmond\, Virginia\, Rider migrated to New York City on a visual art scholarship in 2013. They played open mics at the Sidewalk Cafe\, the birthplace of anti-folk\, amongst contemporaries such as Brett Gleason\, Siv Disa\, and Prince Johnny. Inspired by the work of Tori Amos\, Kate Bush\, Joni Mitchell\, Rider sings of the anxieties of life while mixing the traditional piano of their past with innovative electronic production\, creating an ethereal pop experience.
