We recently had the chance to chat with upcoming singer/songwriter Emma Kate. Discovered by the same people who launched Selena Gomez, Emma is gearing up to release her first EP. The album features her new catchy debut single “Neon Yellow Hearts” and it was just released to iTunes. The single was co-written by Aaron Kamin from The Calling and is the perfect tune for Summer days.
Fresh off a performance at The Bitter End in New York City, we had the chance to chat with Emma Kate about her upcoming EP, her debut single, and her work with The Joyful Heart Foundation.

Brooklyn based band Animal Years just released their new music video for “Forget What They’re Telling You”. The upbeat song has a classic feel to it that is perfect for Summer listening. The song is taken off their album ‘The Sun Will Rise’.
The video also features True Blood actress Bailey Noble. She shows off some dance moves that perfectly describe how we’re feeling while listening to this song. If you’re in the New York area, you can hear the feel-good song in person when the band returns to play at The Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, July 31st.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think!
