SALADS – the stage name of Patty – fuses pop, punk, rap, and alternative music in a genre-bending way that pays homage to his pop-punk beginnings while aspirating to the music he listened to growing up in Bangkok, Thailand.
With his use of personal lyrics, he tells relatable stories about love, loss, addiction, and recovery. In addition to combining different genres and production sounds from his inspiration.
Butterfly Sans is one of those songs that will be stuck in your head for days on end–and we mean that in the best way possible!

5) ANTHONY BENJAMIN – A Year From Now
Anthony Benjamin is a singer-songwriter from London who has a new single out. It’s called A Year From Now, and it’s a poppy indie rock tune that will make you want to dance.
I love how Anthony Benjamin uses his voice as an instrument in this song; he really shows off his range here. The lyrics are simple but meaningful
I believe that “A Year From Now” is an anthem for hope in a world that has gone crazy. This song conveys feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty for the future, but it also provides an opportunity to reflect on what could be accomplished over the course of a year.
The song is an indie pop track with 80’s vibes and male vocals that will have you singing along in no time. It’s easy to listen to yet still has an edge to it–it’s fun, but also has depth and meaning behind it.
The lyrics are catchy without being overly simplistic or childish, which makes them easy to remember even after just one listen!

6) JOEY PARADIS – MABY
JOEY PARADIS is a dreamy, electronic pop artist from Los Angeles. His new single, “Maby,” is a perfect example of his style: dreamy, electronic pop with an edge of danceability.
The track is the first taste we’ve gotten from Paradis’ upcoming EP, which will be released later this year. It’s a perfect example of the kind of music that has made him so popular: dreamy vocals over an upbeat beat and trance-like synth sounds.
This song has all of the elements that make up good future bass music: crisp beats and synths that are layered over each other in such a way that they create an almost trance-like effect on listeners. But what really sets this song apart is its vocals–they’re smooth as silk and have a mesmerizing quality about them that makes listeners want to listen again and again.
Developed for the sonic listener who is ready to take their listening to the next level.

7) OCCURRENCE – Fudge
Electro-pop and electronic music are two genres that have exploded in popularity over the past few years. But what if you want something a little more experimental? Something edgy? Something that’s not just another dance track with a catchy beat and catchy lyrics?
There are so many artists out there who are doing their own thing and making music that’s unlike anything else out there–and that’s exactly what makes them so special. OCCURRENCE is one such band, and their song “Fudge” is a perfect example of why they deserve all the attention they’re getting.
It’s hard to pin down exactly where this sound comes from–maybe it’s all those influences, or maybe it’s just because OCCURRENCE is so unique–but one thing is certain: this song will get stuck in your head and stay there all day long!
The whole thing sounds like something from a sexy film noir: dark, moody, and edgy. If you’re looking for something new from an independent artist who’s doing something different than most other artists out there today then check out OCCURRENCE!

8) SYDNE STRAUSS – RUN
Sydne Strauss is an independent artist from Los Angeles, California. Her single “Run” is a great example of the kind of music that she makes: super catchy alternative pop with rock undertones and a danceable rhythm.
Sydne says about the song: ”This song is one of the only songs that I can truly relate to. I usually do not like to open up about myself in my music but I took the brave step to do so. This year I have been through a lot but I have also accomplished so much and have gained a new mindset of stopping at nothing until I succeed. This song is also about my transformation as both an artist and as a person, the loneliness of leaving people behind so you can move forward, and simply being a top gun badass.”
The ambient/electronic/rock/trap production behind it makes this song really versatile and unique. The switch to the second verse is also very well thought out. In general, this song may not be what you usually hear in the pop genre, but it’s still a great listen in numerous situations.
it’s going to be something you can dance to! And if that wasn’t enough, Sydne’s vocals are so smooth and soothing that they’ll have you singing along within seconds.
