Top 5 New Indie Queens of Music Round 11 features some truly amazing and beautiful talented women who are simply setting something new and unique in the indie music scene. This time around it features: Lauren Ruth Ward, Kiara Nelson, Jackie Paladino, Noemi Smorra and Diana Gordon.
1- Lauren Ruth Ward
Region: United States
Genre: Rock
Why? With unique and beautiful vocals and a dash of old school rock with a whole lot of that strength and power this wolf loves to see in a female singer comes the truly talented Lauren Ruth Ward. She simply tells it as is, the track is honest, pure and so real. A woman does not need a man for validation all she needs is herself and her own personal strength. Bravo Lauren, that’s what we should always hope to hear from any woman and let’s make sure they know they don’t need anything or anything to be best part of being alive.
2- Kiara Nelson
Region: Finland
Genre: Pop
Why? Powerful vocals and in your face electro/pop sounds that are able to mesmerize the listener with lyrics that invite us to see the strength behind this talented singer/songwriter and to get a feel for a story that is so true and real and probably lived by her and many others. “Bulletproof” is an ode to moving forward and leaving what’s unnecessary behind and how hard it can be sometimes. If you can’t relate, you are lying my friend.
3- Jackie Paladino
Region: United States
Genre: Pop
Why? A soft piano that creates the soundscape from the first key that makes a sound, with light drums and a beautiful arrangement it becomes the perfect home for the soulful voice of Jackie Paladino. This soundscape truly showcases a story that is so easy to visualize thanks to Jackie’s voice and the way she ensures the listener that there are feeling at play here and we are haunted by the melodies and we whisper softly to whoever listens … “Rescue Me”.
4- Noemi Smorra
Region: Italy
Genre: Pop
Why? Soft piano led pop melodies that are full of emotions, stories and that splash of the unknown that makes a song special. Noemi connects with the listener for she gives us a song that could be for you, for me, for anyone and everyone in this ever growing and changing world. With mature lyrics and honest melodies she haunts us with a track that is a perfect example of a song that evokes the good in the human heart.
5- Diana Gordon
Region: United States
Genre: Pop/Rock
Why? I love a strong woman who knows her worth as you might have already guessed by the female musicians I love to showcase in Wolf in a Suit. “Woman” encompasses all that five letter word can be, it shows the world who the boss is and let’s be honest guys we’ve known it all along. Diana and her soulful power driven vocals give the world an honest insight into the reality that it tries to hide constantly. Women are what drives this world around and without them we wouldn’t be here so start respecting them and giving them their due rights.
