Tessa Violet – Bad Ideas
Tessa Violet is an American singer-songwriter, who cites artists as diverse as Nina Nesbitt, Billie Eilish, Twenty Two Pilots, Paramore, Lorde and Taylor Swift as her influences. She’s about to release her debut album independently, but first, she’s releasing the album one song at a time.
Last summer, the vlogger turned musician put out the first single Crush and she has ten left to go. Nine, in fact, as she just released the second single Bad Ideas, which will also be the album title. Violet says the song is about her trying to get the most out of everything, even when it’s not possible.
Bad Ideas is a funny little pop song with alternative-leaning production, like an uplifting eels track. As corny as it may sound, it’s a really good idea to listen to it straight away. It might just make your day!

Chloe Lilac – 19
By the age of 13, Chloe Lilac sneaked out of her Brooklyn home to perform on the streets of NYC. Building her skills as a self-produced songwriter, she began releasing songs in 2017. After breaking the Top 5 on the US Spotify Viral Chart with her first-ever release, Reckless, she hit the road. Lilac supported mxmtoon and Tessa Violet, played headline dates and performed at showcase festival SXSW. With over 30 million Spotify streams to her name, she’s still considered an upcoming artist. But that’s about to change…
Ahead of her upcoming new mixtape, due out 19 November, Lilac releases a second single off it. 19 (her age when she wrote it) is a rousing rock track, produced by Rory Andrew (Machine Gun Kelly, Two Door Cinema Club). Lyrically, it deals with the alarming state of the world today.
The now 20-year-old artist explains: “I wrote 19 about how scary everything’s gotten in the last two years. I really sat and thought about the state of the world and how weird and out of control everything’s become since the pandemic. I want to stress how grateful I am for my physical health and my family’s health, I’ve been very blessed throughout the pandemic thus far. There’s just so much loss that’s been happening and still happening. It’s really intense, especially being witness to all the tragedy at what seems like the beginning of my adult life.”
