Zaimah: The Collective Mixtape EP

You have your soul albums, and then you have your neo-soul ones. On the upper echelon of the latter (in our opinion, ‘course) is Zaimah‘s latest release, The Collective, a mixtape EP which serves as her return to form after a two-year hiatus. Well, it was worth the wait!

Dear You: Even Love Is Bigger in Texas

Even Love is Bigger in Texas is an EP meant to share kindness to the People of West, Texas. Inspired by the will and urge to aid their people, the album is full of punk alternative music. The songs are very modern and the vocals would make you think as if this EP belongs to the Fall Out Boys or Panic at the Disco.

Flowers: When You Lie (Cloudberry EP)

Do you like your own serving of indie music to be grungy? If that’s the case, then UK-based band Flowers is the right choice. Labeling their genre as “noisy pop”, Flowers’ debut EP “When You Lie (Cloudberry)” sounds like a louder version of Camera Obscura. Most likely, with much emphasis on the ‘obscura’ part.

The Marv: Malayalam Beats Vol. 1

Craving for a new sound? Try to take a bite from Malayalam Beats vol. 1 and get ready to experience an eargasmic album bursting with flavor. This seven-track collection is The Marv‘s debut EP that pays tribute to her French-Lankan origins. Selecting samples from Malayalam movie songs, The Marv has constructed a connecting bridge between traditional and modern.

Mikaela Davis

Mikaela Davis charms our hearts with whimsical pleasures in her self-titled musical project. The harpist/singer-songwriter from Rochester brings new eclectic flavors to the indiescape with 13 well-composed pieces. Fluttering atop piano keys is Oh Brother. Davis surprises the listeners with her distinct vocals that curls and folds in the right places. While Where Will We Go follows with dream folk arrangement reminiscent of Camera Obscura.

Oh My Goodness: EP REMIXES

Oh My Goodness‘ self-titled album is a collection of EP Remixes that will make your ears bleed (in a good way). Oh My Goodness EP Remixes tells more of the “worry-core” that Oh My Goodness’ musical style is known for.

Jay McCoy: Emotional Inventory

Jay McCoy reminds people how ferocious her presence can be in Emotional Inventory released last October. This collection of eight tracks puts up a flavorful spread from the soul siren. Hailing from Oakland, California, Jay McCoy (born Jamie J. Jackson and legally changed it to “Jamiee”) came from deep musical roots. Her dream of becoming a singer solidified when she released an album under a local Bay Area label during her sophomore year.

Sophia Wells: Above the Fire

Sophia Wells‘ first venture is more of like an image of a song being sung in the middle of the autumn. Above the Fire is a five-track album made for those who love to listen to this combination of country and folk. The singer’s soulful, earthy with a pinch of rock vocals is combined with the beats of drums, and the strums of a guitar and a bass.
