After originally making a name for herself as a 15-year-old contestant on American Idol, fast-rising singer Glennellen Anderson continues to grow from strength to strength as she drops the emotionally-charged new single ‘Fanfiction’. Lifted from her latest EP, this new offering is a sweet and warming alt-pop gem, brimming with effervescent energy.

Having already wowed us with a string of bright and shimmering pop delights these last few months, emerging artist Ashley Suppa now looks to showcase her recently released new EP ‘Move!’ with its vibrant title-track. Continuing that fresh and joyous direction she has built for herself, this new gem is a perfect example of why so many have been switching onto her of late.

With a string of fresh and enjoyable efforts under his belt these last few years, Denver-born but Atlanta-raised artist Kaliib continues his pursuit of soul enriching sounds as he drops the seductive new jam ‘Famous’. Bringing in more of that smooth and shimmering RnB sound he has built for himself, this new effort is a positive return for a name brimming with progressive potential.

Having already found praise on numerous publications and outlets for his recent releases, emerging artist Matthew Joseph is back to his vibrant ways on the pulsing new anthem ‘Chance’.
