We would like to strongly recommend artists like Mothica, KiNG MALA and Kailee Morgue to you.
We delved into the world of alternative pop and eight artists particularly caught our eye and we would like to recommend them to you with exclamation marks. The following FLINTA* artists impress with innovative sounds and unique, creative approaches.
1. KiNG MALA
To describe KiNG MALA, seductive Disney villain is probably the best way to describe it. The American stands for chaotic energy, packaged in soft alternative sounds. She plays with her femininity and at the same time with male-read attributes.
Mood: dark, provocative, sexy
Our song recommendations: “sloppy”, “she calls me daddy”, “mercy”
2. Kailee Morgue
Provocative lyrics mixed with bittersweet melodies – that’s Kailee Morgue. The singer-songwriter likes to test the boundaries of the alternative genre and leans towards pop and synth. In addition to strong, feminine lyrics, the 25-year-old also addresses mental health and socially critical topics in her lyrics, conveying an almost visible aesthetic.
Mood: confident, soft, honest
Our song recommendations: “Siren”, “Medusa”, “This Is Why I’m Hot”
3. Uche Yara
Anyone who keeps their feet still here is definitely doing something wrong. Uche Yara stirs up even the quietest crowd and makes dance floors shake with an incredibly unobtrusive, energetic style. Uche Yara also creates captivating enthusiasm with her androgynous voice.
Mood: dramatic, rebellious, strong
Our song recommendations: “Tango”, “www she hot”, “SOPHIE”
4. Isoscope
The post-punk band Isoscope takes a more experimental approach to music and always delivers a kind of surprise bag for the listeners. The Berlin quartet likes to combine contrasting vibes, so that you can sometimes find yourself in the grungy 90s combined with a cottage core fever dream – we’re not mad about it!
Mood: free, cartoonish, pleasantly oppressive
Our song recommendations: “Pain Simulator”, “Tabula Rasa”, “In the Absence of a Guide”
5. Sofia Portanet
Do you have to choose between soft pop ballad sounds, new wave and gothic? Sofia Portanet would probably contradict that and want to convince people of the opposite. The singer from Northern Germany combines not only contrasting styles but also languages - she writes her lyrics in German, English and French. Plus: Anyone who is a fan of Marina’s early days (and the Diamonds back then) will definitely be completely impressed by her.
Mood: lively, changeable, charming
Our song recommendations: “Real Face”, “Free Ghost” and for metal fans: “Midnight Sun” feat. Creator
6. Mothica
Welcome to Mothica’s very own song world. It’s pretty blunt and fascinating at the same time. In her texts she appears like an open book and stands by her story – even if it probably wouldn’t be a picture book.
Mood: arrogant, proud, cinematic
Our song recommendations: “BUZZKILL”, “SENSITIVE”, “Sirens”
7. Ellise
With her dark pop songs, the 25-year-old creates dark scenarios à la Alice in Wonderland – we think it’s great!
Mood: sweet, mystical, dark
Our song recommendations: “911”, “Nightmares”, “KILLER”
8. DeathbyRomy
If you ever need a self-confidence boost, crank up the DeathbyRomy tracks and let them work their magic on you. We’d bet it works. With her edgy attitude, she takes you by the hand and takes you into a feminist universe in which she has no regard for haters and negative energies.
Mood: threatening, fearless, playful
Our song recommendations: “I Feel Like a God”, “Problems”, “No Mercy”
