This playlist features the work of some female artists that are pushing new sounds as extensions of their unique personalities. Each of the women in this playlist offers a distinct visual and musical aesthetic that combats industry norms. Pay attention to these women…they are on the rise.
Drippy – IAMDDB : IAMDDB is sure to have a crowd bumpin’ with her confident and easy bounce and neo-soul, UK flow.
THE BADDEST – Krissy Merchante Feat. Kay Bells & Qing Qi : Hailing from the Bay, producer and DJ Krissy Merchante’s new record “Poon Typhoon” stays buzzin’ with her new rap that’s stayin’ hyphy.
Coco Miyaki – Opal, Sunny Moonshine : One of my favorite songs for summer, Opal continues to bring new electronic and hip hop sounds with sultry vocals and dance beats.
Tokidoki Lenses – Tia Nomore : Another Bay Area queen, Tia Nomore is back at it blending Bay Area beats and flow with Japanese sounds and language, creating her own medium.
Cherry – Rina Sawayma : Rina Sawayma is a London-based, Japanese singer, pushing the pop game into a new dimension with her computer girl personality.
Artist Addiction – Arima Ederra : We slow it down a bit with this Arima Ederra record, as the L.A. based Ethiopian singer brings her dreamy vocals and mellow electronic sounds.
Ok… – Alexandria Feat. Ethereal : Singer Alexandria’s smooth R&B vocals pairs perfectly with Ethereal’s experimental hip hop production. The duo has yet to release some new music, but their older work continues to slap and capture new listeners.
La Sandunguera – Nathy Peluso: Nathy Peluso is one of the most interesting artists I’ve recently come across, reminiscent of a kind of Latina Jessie Jay/Erykah Badu.
MEDUSA – Debby Friday : For those into electronic and punk music, female artists such as Debby Friday should be on your radar. Her deep vocals and underground sound tell a story of queerness, identity, and raising trouble in this record.
