Three new/upcoming artists for you.


FAE LOU

Her debut single, ECHOES, was released just days ago. What a joy it is to discover an artist as they are showing up on the scene, and how rare it is to discover something new which feels so seasoned.


Ana

Surprisingly, mostly to myself, Ana came onto my radar through one of her French songs, Les Flammes. Enamored by her voice, I checked out her album and was surprised again to discover it’s largely in English (but no less romantic).


Estephanie

I originally came across Estephanie through one of the ARIatHOME live streams—an improv music production series on the streets of NYC (this descripion, admittedly, does not do justice to the cultural significance of what he is conjuring on the streets).

Her new track, aptly named “EASY2FEEL”, is an easy listen. It’s soft. It’s dreamy. But still manages to bop.
