independent artist of the weeek
Independent Artist of the Week: Sidney Phillips
Sidney Phillips’ Soundcloud profile picture is of Korean pop group JYJ member, Kim Jae-joong. “Exo-l 4 lyfe” in bio. References to The Sopranos, Skins, South Park, and Breaking Bad can be found across Sidney’s musical releases: her Twitter, Soundcloud, and Instagram presence teeters on the edge of irony, relevance and personal sincerity.
Independent Artist of the Week: Gemma Navarrete
Chatting with Lill Scott on Up For It! on Monday, Gemma Navarrete described her new single ‘Same Shit!’ as a love letter to being yourself. She’s been writing self-affirming letters from a young age, and her penmanship has earned her the title of FBi’s Independent Artist of the Week this week.
Independent Artist of the Week: Putrika
Soulful, detailed, off-kilter – Putrika’s debut singles draw on her influences while stepping past them into a dense sonic world.
Independent Artist of the Week: Babey
‘Honey’ is mature post-rock from the nominally infantile Babey, our Melb-via-Syd Indie crush this week.
