It came about during a period of intense personal reflection for her.

I have followed her since her first release late last year and plan to continue covering her music as long as possible.
Her music is perfect for fans of Adele and other musicians.

I love the magnificent vocal range; it shows just how talented the musician is.
The production is lovely and well-mixed; it encapsulates the song so well.
Self Sabotage by SMILEZ | Indie Features
About: LA-based artist SMILEZ is no stranger to being a vibrant presence in a crowd.
He is the missing link to connecting grungy catharsis and candid hip-hop bravado.
Emerging as a rare disruptor in the new rage space, he has had numerous successful tours with Trippie Redd and JuiceWRLD, to name a few.
Already amassing over 337k Instagram followers and over a million streams on all platforms, he recently shared his newest Self Sabotage release.
Self Sabotage: On March 12th, he released his new single, Self Sabotage, which Digital Naz produced as a blend of hip-hop and punk rock.
The single emits a chaotic and contagious energy emphasized by throbbing beats and clashing percussion elements.
He says the song is a reflective piece in which he sees himself tending to self-sabotage, and he wanted to explore that idea in this song.
SMILEZ Feedback: SMILEZ is a different kind of hip-hop I am drawn to, but I still need to understand why fully.
Sometimes, people like me need a little punch to their taste buds, and he gives that to me.
Fans of Grandson, JuiceWRLD, and other unique hip-hop and alternative musicians would love him.
Self Sabotage Feedback: I love the vibe in this song. Its bass and high-driven energy are beyond amazing.
While I think the bass could be a little more solid, the music is a slap in the face (oh, God bless my subwoofer).
Sometimes, artists can be more confident, but this song justifies that confidence.
Confetti & Kalashnikovs by Camens | Indie Features
About: The Camens are an influential UK band on a fearless mission to seize the world with its enormous sound.
They deliver an electrifying high, energy performance worthy of any festival stage.
They recently released their newest single from their next album, Confetti & Kalashnikovs, and the album is WORK/LIFE/BALANCE.
Confetti & Kalashnikovs: The new single, released on February 29th, explores the ups and downs of relationships.
Initially, the song was meant to be fun and light-hearted, with different oxymorons about love and war.
The product, a sunny summer vibe setting the tone for their upcoming album, focused on creating authentic, raw, and relatable music.
Camens' Feedback: Camens' sound has grown, especially recently.
They have moved from a relatable mix of deep singles to even more profound, rawer, new, improved singles that give you a more profound sense of relatability.
They are great for fans of The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club, and maybe even Death Cab for Cutie.
Confetti & Kalashnikovs Feedback: The new track is catchy and complex, like the song's title nods its head to.
The Wombats would love this track, and I love it, so to say I have no criticism, I put it lightly.
Scott tells me he wants to hit the charts with this quality... Why not?
Burn It Down by Yarin Glam | Indie Features
About: Pop and R&B LA-based artist Yarin Glam releases music that touches on female empowerment, mental health, and self-love, reminiscent of Rihanna, Lana Del Ray, and Billie Eilish.

Burn It Down: Released on January 24th, it has added to over a million streams on all streaming platforms.
The single features stunning, ethereal vocals, vibey beats, and echoing guitars, creating an overall consuming atmosphere.
She says her sister is "a person that owns herself 100%, she loves her crazy side and she'll always say it. Burn It Down is a song where you can own your 'crazy' and celebrate it."
Yarin Glam Feedback: Yarin is another musician who is quickly becoming a regular in the features, and I love the quality of her production.
Her unique album covers remind me of the nostalgic feel of all her tracks, especially her songs Alright, Shut Up, and Unbothered.
Her music is great for fans of Alessia Cara, Amy Winehouse, and others.
Burn It Down Feedback: I rarely find musicians who write about other people's experiences.
When I do, they are typically some of the most talented musicians I have come to see.
The single is one of those that encapsulates just how talented Yarin is.
Lots of killer music here to explore, great work Jon!
