She spent time in Nashville and went from “trying to play the game” to being real, no frills, and being her own unique person which set her apart! Her major-label debut album “Girl Going Nowhere” is dense with meaning and effortless singing. We can’t wait to see her rise!

#4
The Lumineers
It’s been a couple of years since the American folk rock band The Lumineers ‘Ho-Hey’d’ their way to the top. We remember the band’s first two albums which have gone platinum! Now, their latest album seems a bit different but we’re all for it! “III” is a literal masterpiece!
#5
Cage the Elephant
A satisfying collection of melancholy coupled with breezy vibes and sick grooves. This band is for the win! That being said, their latest album “Social Cues” goes in a darker direction but boy, it did not disappoint! It won the annual Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album. Need I say more?
So that concludes our list of talents flooding our ears. When it comes to exploring indie musicians, not many may even get on our radar as more mainstream artists continue to dominate the airwaves and social media.
