Top 5 New Indie Queens of Music Round 12 features some truly amazing and beautiful talented women who are simply setting something new and unique in the indie music scene. This time around it features: MILCK, Strae, Alexa Lusader, Stanley and Bridgit Mendler.
1- MILCK
Region: United States
Genre: Pop
Why? It’s dark, mature, haunting and simply full of a special strength that turns it into an anthem. Listen to how her voice flows beautifully through the verses filling them up with emotions, rebellion and her own stories to connect with. Plus not only is this song amazing but part of the soundtrack of two of my favorite TV shows: Netflix’s Marco Polo (trailer) and Fox’s Lucifer.
2- Strae
Region: United States
Genre: Pop
Why? Hear this lioness roar and hypnotize you with her electronic pop beats, her anthemic hooks and her pop-perfect voice. With a passion and talent she lets her music flow with ease and create a soundscape that invites the listener. As you hear this track, you feel the strength and love and this lioness can give and you feel as if you are chosen one for this. Listen and enjoy this marvel.
3- Alexa Lusader
Region: United States
Genre: Pop
Why? Dark pop melodies that mixes RnB sounds and electronic beats in a way that simply engulfs you and pulls you into a soundscape that only Alexa can create with the assistance of the talented OLWIK. Her voice has something so seductive and enticing about it that is simply just a perfect addition to the verses of the track. As she invites you to “Ask for a lover”, all I want to do is ask for another gem like this one.
4- Stanley
Region: United Kingdom
Genre: Folk/Pop
Why? “Darlin” is a truly beautiful, emotive and soulful indie folk/pop ballad that is driven by keyboards and Stanley’s enchanting voice. The way the soundscape unfolds softly with a tune filled with joy and a certain melancholy makes it not only a must listen track but a haunting gift of music. Stanley opens up her heart for us to dive into it and to experience the story that flows with the verses and melodies of her song.
5- Bridgit Mendler
Region: United States
Genre: Remix/Pop
Why? I fell in love with the original version but this remix increases the tempo and gives a track whose topic is a bit somber but so real an upbeat sound. This talented actress is showing me, you and the world what a massive musical talent she has. With “Do you miss me at all” she plays around with the melodies and showcases a maturity and connection with human experience that is so rich and beautifully mesmerizing. A definite must listen gem (both original and remix and the rest of the tracks in her ‘Nemesis EP’.
