Lay your new music favs on me

After reading this FPP I'd really like to hear what your new music favorites are! I'd like pop and rock and soul music, made in the last, oh, 5 years or so, and I'd be most happy to hear from women artists, though any will do!

I have been digging Larkin Poe (link to FPP that introduced them to me). Have brought them a few more raving fans by sharing them with others.

Some personal favs:

Pamplemoose, who primarily do covers but do them with real musicians brilliantly. They've got LOADS of songs, but some stand outs (for me) are Bullet Proof by La Roux, Harder, Better, Fast, Stronger by Daft Punk, a Sweet Dreams/7 Nation Army mashup, and my absolute favourite, Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears.

Cannons are just wonderful - try Fire for You or their superb cover of Sex on Fire, but they've got plenty more, both originals and covers.

And if you haven't heard a lot of Morgan James, then boy oh boy you're missing out. Her voice is just....wow. Try Its a Man's, Man's, Man's World, or a gorgeous duet with her husband on You're All I Need To Get By, or, for sheer spine tingling heartbreak, her cover of Take Me To Church, which she released in 2015 but dear God you must hear it if you haven't already. She's another with a large catalogue worth exploring, including a lot of original songs.

The War and Treaty (check out "Down To the River" for a taste).

I discovered Alessia Cara via the Calm app.

Purity Ring came to my attention just before the pandemic hit.

A couple of years ago I stumbled into chillhop. City Girl, on Bandcamp, is my favorite artist in that genre by far.

Replying on mobile, so no links, sorry.

The albums I’ve liked most out of each of those I’ve heard in each of the past three years, all are/with female singers:

* 2020: Sylvan Esso - Free Love
* 2021: Adult Mom - Driver (isn’t it good General Malaise!)
* 2022 (so far): Anna B Savage - A Common Turn

Just typing those out makes me excited and grateful for them.

Some of my favorites in the last few years. I found all of these listening to the Fierce Femmes Spotify playlist over the last few years. Punk, pop-punk and rock.

Bompops
--CA In July
--Outta Hand (song starts at 9:15)
--Breathe
--Notre Dame
--Can't Come Clean/In The Doghouse (acoustic)
--Double Arrows Down

Bad Cop, Bad Cop
--Amputations
--Womanarchist (super cool crowd sourced video)
--Brain is for Lovers (aka the song that got me through the summer of 2020))

The Dead Deads
--Push Me
--Ghosts
--First Tooth
--In For Blood
--Sea Beast (Spotify link, can't find it anywhere else)

Meet Me @ The Altar
--Now or Never
--Brighter Days
--Morris Farm Drive

Charly Bliss
--First heard Charly Bliss on AV Undercover, their version of Steal My Sunshine
--Hard to Believe
--Ruby
--Threat
--Eva Hendricks covers Fountains of Wayne's Hey Julie (acoustic)
--Chatroom, pretty much my favorite song of theirs. CW: about Hendrick's sexual assault. And the video is pretty hard to watch.

The Regrettes
--Heard them first for their cover of Helpless, from the musical Hamilton. I still can't get over that Lydia Night was 17 when this was released.
--Hey Now
--Hot
--Seashore
--I Dare You
--Monday
