We love the truth behind Halsey and her music--she holds nothing back.

Past Is Gone, Future Untold

HAERTS won our hearts over this past fall with a debut EP Hemiplegia, and now they are making our love grow with their slow burning ballad "Call My Name" that's sincere in the utmost sense. This team of Brooklyners have been riding high and this track brings things to a whole new level with lead singer Nini's vocals melting slowly into this 80s production that's reminiscent of an 80s slow dance or a heart-breaking goodbye scene in a movie. There's no doubt that HAERTS will be riding high on this track all the way into their much anticipated album due out later this year.

Pictures In My Head

Beatrice Eli came into our lives back in 2012 with a killer debut EP, and then we didn't hear much from her until now. She's back with a sexy new single "Girls" that in our opinion triumphs Katy Perry's experimental "I Kissed A Girl". It's got a sense of lust and this glimmering bubblegum grunge aspect that brings a new light to the already fierce sound of Swedish rockstar on the rise. You'll find yourself "come to the conclusion that you like" Beatrice Eli way more than your boyfriend/girlfriend.

Stuck In A Roundabout

We've got another party track coming at you from none other than Scandinavia. To be specific, Kid Astray is a 6-piece Norwegian power house of pop that's on the rise.

You'll find yourself hitting the back button every time as you lose control of you body and want to dance the night away to this fun-in-the-sun track. "No Easy Way Out" comes ahead of their forthcoming EP on the Swedish label Cosmos, home to another Scandinavian favorite Say Lou Lou. Party all the way into the early hours of the morning with Kid Astray playing as your party track for the night.

Lock In Your Love

Usually when we get submissions for NYC based bands we get the typical Brooklyn band on the rise pitch. This time is different with Queens-based band Broken Luxury, who bring their weekly covers series with none other than a cover of Disclosure's "Latch". Broken Luxury sticks with the electronic sound this song originally has, but they bring things down to a soulful level, stripping away any powering dance beats and keeping things calm. This allows for the balance where the vocals soar effortlessly over the darkened synths creating an array of flickering colors that rush through your brain. These guys not only know how to make some killer covers that could easily act as major rivals to the originals, they dropped an EP earlier this year that is just as excellent. We've got our eyes on Broken Luxury. Something tells us that things are brewing up to a very successful run for these guys.

Won't Say Anything Much

We've been waiting for IYES to come at us with a track and that day is finally here. After having an enormous debut "'Til Infinity" and then covering Beyonce's "Crazy In Love", this Brighton duo is back with their second single "Breathe"on Duly Noted Records that is layers on layers of hooks and haunting production that literally has us overwhelmed with excitement.

The IYES addiction continues on and we are loving every second of it.

You better hop on board, because we are planning on playing this track on repeat until it brings us into the humid days of a summer in the city.

When we think of the sunny state of Florida we definitely think sun and fun, and with Priest we get just that. This duo reigning from that sunny land, brings us a magical synth filled track, "Isn't It So", that is light as the rays of a summer sun. The synths glare through the production like the reflections of sun rays off of a pool. The production and vocals mix wonderfully to reach the depths of a CHVRCHES and MNDR track that's reminiscent of an era long gone. With two other successful singles already behind them, Priest are set for to ride the heat of their sound to the top. Watch out as you get sucked into a neon heat with this chill yet hot track.

Meet Sonia Stein, a singer from London who's on the rise to great things with her latest track "Symbol". Obtaining that undeniably good singer-songwriter vibe, Sonia's voice shimmers down from the heavens on top of godly piano chords that linger on into the darkness. "Symbol" acts as a beacon in dark times with its melodies that a reminiscent of a 90s ballad ready for the radio. There are so many points where we want a string orchestra to come in and for Sonia to showcase the powering energy that is hiding beneath, but it is this that keeps you hooked throughout the song, craving more of every drop of this track.

Coming Back To Me Now

After a small break from featuring bands from the land up north, we are back with a new 4-piece Swedish band Von Valley. These guys released their debut track "Shadows" that is the perfect folk track that paints pictures of snowcapped mountains and ice covered rivers. Their mellow sound reminds us of the chill stylings of a Khushi track mixed with the inevitably addictive folk sound of Ásgeir. After we took our first listen to this, we just wanted to head up to a cabin in the woods and have this track playing over and over again as the snow falls around us. There's something stirring here with Von Valley and we are excited to see what they have up their sleeve. Good vibes coming from this group of Swedes.

Fuck You. It's Over.

If you were at SXSW this last week then chances are you probably heard a ton of bands that literally made you excited for the rest of the year in music. One of the bands that we hope you were able to catch is SomeKindaWonderful. Today, we bring you their single "Reverse" that tells the story of being tantalized into a habit of cheating. SomeKindaWonderful bring a wonderful classic pop sound with their Bruno Marslike verse that roll of the tongue and land swiftly over the upbeat bluesy production that screams Amy Winehouse.

Give Me What I Want!

About two weeks a name hit pop sphere and left a mark that's making everyone go crazy. Yesterday, Allie X broke through with her second single "Prime" that propels her into the rankings of the big name pop stars. The synth pop sound she has crafted screams bubble-gum pop laced with sticky, candy-coated hooks that just pile on top of one each other. Everything about her screams Ellie Goulding and Marina and the Diamonds with the powering indie production, but there's that underlying factor that makes us feel like she has the ability to escalate to the rankings of a new Madonna. We are calling it now that 2014 will be the year of Allie X. We are addicted and there's no turning back. Let the sugar sweet medication that is Allie X flow through you veins and lead you on a trip of pop music at its best.

If That's What You Want

The Escapists had us going crazy over their classic indie debut "Breaking It Up" back in January with their Kings of Leon sound, and today they are back with a refixed version of their debut track. Straying way from the hard electric guitars, this track dives into late 80s neon synths that stick to ever inch of your brain. This retake on the track definitely takes things to a darker level of late nights and glowing lights on the remnants of a storm. If you're not hooked on the verse, then the chorus will latch right onto you and have you craving more of the synths that compliments this already perfect chorus. You'll find yourself going mad over this retake on what we consider a strike of lightning before the storm.

Now that she's hit up SXSW, she's ready to start taking over the game of pop with her new single "1965" that dropped yesterday. This new single features the elegant sound that's reminiscent of clear blue skies. Her vocals and lyrics remind us so much of a swooping Lana Del Rey song, just with more depth and power to her voice that she reaches into the indie realm of vocals like MS MR's Lizzy. Zella has crafted a wonderful song here that takes you on a journey through old films of the 60s, being free from the world.

You'll find yourself addicted to Oscar & the Wolf after one listen. With the talent to write a great track and some big names like Leo Abrahams working on the mix of these tracks, Oscar & the Wolf will be sure to be a name on the rise in the coming months, especially with a debut album dropping on April 28 in Belgium.

Back in January the hottest up-and-coming band Prelow came at us with their debut single "For The Team" that has us going insane over how much of a slow and sexy hit they had made. Now they are back with doing the exact same thing with "Simple Song". Instantly winning us over in the first second, Prelow sticks with their smooth sound similar to Great Good Fine Ok.

It's sun washed yet grungy all mixed between the sheets, almost as if they are channeling a Cali-sun sound mixed with an indie New York vibe.

If you haven't hard of Boots yet then we basically feel bad for you because you are MISSING OUT!  Boots has become known as the man behind Beyonce's killer album that magically dropped out of nowhere back in December. Now that he's done serving the queen, he's working on his own solo career. He has three tracks released so far, one of which just dropped today called "Howl". Out of all his tracks, "Howl" proves to be the most high energy of his tracks, which showcases his ability to diversify in the pop sphere. Boots' sticks to his darker sound of mystery.

All we know is he's basically dropping power track after power track.

Oh Baby!

Our favorite UK indie newcomers Secret Company are back after killing us with their debut single last month. Now they are back with a "So Good To Me vs. Sweet Disposition" mashup that continues to leave us standing here wondering if anyone could beat these guys.

Its a track you'll rolled down the windows to while speeding down the California coast line enjoying every second of life.

Just on the verge of dropping their second single in the coming weeks, IYES teases us with this track that switches between Cousin Marnies dark and slow sound on "Cain" and a powering beat. Cousin Marnie reminds us a bit of another UK favorite, Laurel, with her smooth and haunting melodies. This remix perfectly captures the best of both worlds, creating something worth losing yourself in. You'll be obsessing over both Cousin Marnie and IYES knowing that theirs more great things to come from them.

I Am A Warrior

Hoodlem came at us last year out of nowhere last year with two great release that set the mood for a sure-fire breakthrough. After leaving us for a few months, clearly to work on some hard-hitting tracks, Hoodlem is back with "Old Friend". Nothing has changed with Hoodlem's sound; its raw, sublt, minimalistic, and catchy as fuck. The track might be very minimalistic through and through, but something about the production and beats can't help but make you groove around the room singing along with the soulful sounding vocals. We like to think of Hoodlem as an drug that slowly will have you addicted for life.
