FEMALE VOCALS YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS SUMMER
BY VANESSA RAE GARCIA
I've been listening to these artists a whole lot lately and they are Fierce! Some are solo, some are the front liner for their band, but either way, you should check them out!
MISTERWIVES - INDIE POP/ NEW YORK CITY
I first heard about this group during SXSW. I missed my opportunity to see them perform at the Spotify House! I listen to this band when I go for my runs- it keeps me going. I will have my opportunity to see them at Austin City Limits in October. :)
RYN WEAVER- ALT POP- LOS ANGELES
About a year ago Ryn Weaver released her single, "OctaHate." She released a few songs throughout the last year and has just released her first full-length album titled, "The Fool."
MERIAN HILL- ELECTRONIC POP- PHILADELPHIA -DUO- Samantha Gongol and Jeremy Lloyd
Merian Hill combines electronic/soul/saxaphone- It's GOOD. I got to see them perform at SXSW this past year at the Spotify House. If you've never been to SXSW for Music, you are missing out. It's a great place to listen to new bands before they blow up. I got to see Hozier perform (For FREE) last year in a tiny performance space where I was standing next to the singer...now they are everywhere!
VERITE- ALT POP- NEW YORK CITY
Verite AKA Kelsey Bryne has 2 EPs Out: Echo and Sentiment. She's very easy to listen to, with some good beats behind her voice. "The Weekend" is my favorite jam so far.
JESSICA HERNANDEZ AND THE DELTAS- SOUL POP- DETROIT
Jessica Hernandez is the lead vocalist for this group with the Deltas as her band/vocals. They have been around since 2008. This group has a range of sounds from rock, alternative to soul. They have some pretty awesome festivals lined up for their tour.
BLONDFIRE- INDIE POP- LOS ANGELES
Blondfire is a brother/sister duo, Erica and Bruce Driscoll. They have been making music for some time, but released an album last year titled, "Young Heart." They've got an album that you can sit down and listen to the ENTIRE ALBUM and still love them!
Are there any artists you think I should check out? Leave me a message and I'll be sure to give them a listen.
