New singles, festival appearances, Maroon 5 performances, and so much more. Here\u2019s what our community of artists have been up to.<\/p>\n<p>1. We\u2019re big fans of \u201csunflower girl\u201d <strong>Coral Bismuth<\/strong>, and we\u2019re not the only ones. <strong>Maroon 5<\/strong> lead singer <strong>Adam Levine <\/strong>happened to catch the artist busking one day, covering a Maroon 5 song. He liked her version so much, he decided to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EuFfcN5zKno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her join the band on stage for a live performance<\/a>. Future collaborations? We\u2019re hoping.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sofarsounds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1665185775featuredimage.avif\" \/><span class=\"sc-kpOJdX jVJdyv\">Coral Bismuth, photo by Sofar Team<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2. Have you heard <strong>Tangina Stone<\/strong>\u2019s new single<strong> \u201cCause I Can\u201d<\/strong> yet? The Brooklyn, NY-based artist brings together driving rock, buoyant pop, and hip hop breakdowns for this high energy tune.\u00a0 After you listen, don\u2019t forget to revisit her Sofar NYC performance.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-uBGmzw-DyY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>3. Getting on the festival circuit this summer? Well, if you happened to have made it to the <strong>Glastonbury Festival <\/strong>last week, we hope you caught Sofar alum <strong>Lewis McLaughlin<\/strong>, winner of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Contest who made his big stage debut. Fortunately we\u2019ve gotten the chance to see him in smaller spaces, like when we got to see him play this small room in Glasgow, Scotland.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/09lcufBFPXA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>4. We\u2019ve already had <strong>BASI VIBE<\/strong> on repeat alongside the rest of our <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/14rshCWgeDmUorKv1Tt9vO?si=de0176d611f84ec9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chill Vibes playlist<\/a>, but the Sacramento artist just released a brand new single, \u201cI\u2019m Drug\u201d, a dreamy, synthy tune that\u2019s bound for your summer soundtrack. And of course, we\u2019re still watching the artist\u2019s cover of <strong>\u201cSuper Rich Kids\u201d<\/strong> he gave us at Sofar San Francisco.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VofHhVFXVow\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>5. We\u2019ve got another single for your ears. Boston-based artist <strong>Will Dailey<\/strong> just shared his newest, <strong>\u201cEasy to Be Around\u201d<\/strong>, a laid-back, folk-rock tune that\u2019s a real delight. And then of course, there\u2019s his performance of \u201cHigher Education\u201d, a slow number with an edge of Americana to it.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K4sS7oarFy0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>6. Ok, we\u2019re a month late on this, but did you see <strong>Sam Ryder<\/strong>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RZ0hqX_92zI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eurovision<\/a> performance? Or, did you happen to catch him playing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=npkNYzBB0MQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Platinum Jubilee<\/a> at <strong>Buckingham Palace<\/strong>? We couldn\u2019t be more proud of our alum. In case you missed both of those top-notch performances, you can always revisit the artist\u2019s beautiful Sofar here.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bdGzQSwgh4M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>7. Last thing, make sure you check out <strong>Micah Edwards\u2019<\/strong> new debut album, <em>Jean Leon<\/em>. The artist\u2019s been building a name for himself as Mr. Texas Soul,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.khou.com\/article\/entertainment\/television\/programs\/great-day-houston\/meet-mr-texas-soul-micah-edwards\/285-1f321134-761d-4fd3-9900-5b1a05618114\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> and it\u2019s catching on<\/a>, along with his stellar songs.
