South Florida artist Idarose, (who’s real name is Alexis), is an up-and-coming independent artist you definitely need to keep on your radar. She has a versatile sound and can sing a melody that anyone can truly vibe to. Her latest single “When I Don’t Have You,” is a great example of that versatility and showcases her harmonious sound. It’s an electronic pop anthem that stands apart from the rest, and paves Idarose in her own lane.

The single “When I Don’t Have You,” was released earlier this year, and has already received an overwhelming response. The short clip of the melody took the internet by storm and went viral on Tik Tok — which helped with establishing Idarose’s web presence and marking her as someone who audiences knew had much more talent to offer.

When asked about the response to the viral video, Idarose responded, “The response to my new song has already blown me away – I posted the little clip to my 2,900 followers, and now I have 39,000 Tik Tok followers, over 1.7 million views, and
thousands of people asking me to hear it as a full song.”

“I’ve always wanted to find a small audience, but I never imagined that so many people would be asking to hear something
that I created the day that I posted it,” she said. “I am so grateful.”

The artwork of the track also really represents both the creation of the song and the meaning of the song itself. Idarose names some of her musical influences are the queens of electronic pop such as Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Maggie Rogers, and BANKS. In addition, she credited Frank Sinatra and more modern musicians such as Anderson Paak and Vince Staples as influences to her versatile sound too.

“The song started on my bed, and so I thought it would be kind of cool to represent that through the art,” Idarose continued. “But even more than that, the whole idea of the song is to represent lonely nights, and on a lot of lonely nights I’m in my room making music … so it felt right that the picture would be me making music on a bed.”

“It’s the first single I’ve released in a bit,” she said. “I got the melody for this song in a dream…this happens to me sometimes, but if I don’t remember to record it, I usually forget the melody. This time, when I woke up, I immediately picked up my phone and recorded a voice memo of what I remembered. Later that day, I came up with some lyrics to fit the melody, and the story and production grew around that.”

Idarose’s electrifying sound and captivating lyrics have made her classify her music as “new-age hopeless romantic[…] dropped […] in a Wes Anderson movie” but with more kicks and snares.

Idarose noted in an interview that she is grateful for the amount of support and following she has gotten following the viral video, Idarose is happy that fans have reacted the way they did.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
