ZINADELPHIA

With a sound that blends the best of the past and present, Zinadelphia crafts timeless, colorful songs that play the long game.

Following a successful trio of singles, Zinadelphia released her debut Lucky EP in 2023, and began touring as support for artists who are equally as audacious: Medium Build, Teddy Swims and most recently, Tori Kelly. "It's the most fun I've had in my whole life," she describes. She built her audience organically, performing cross-country for the first time and captivating new fans with her singular voice and charm.

Entering 2024, Zinadelphia brought together writer-producers Leroy Clampitt and Gabe Goodman, working out of LA together to create a sound that is everything she's always wanted. "I'm very much a maximalist," she explains. "I wanted to dip into an old Hollywood feel, almost Burlesque-like." This aesthetic, combined with her love of 60s and 70s icons like The Supremes, Gloria Gaynor, and Tammi Terrell, birthed songs that feel reminiscent of those decades, while still being grounded in the present. Her next single, "Love Over Glory," encapsulates the power that Zinadelphia has always possessed, now on full display. She strives to be realistic, rather than aspirational, about her struggles, contrasting darker themes with high energy tempos. Referencing disco motifs with bombastic horns, funk basslines and a four-on-the-floor beat, the single sets the stage for a new era to come: "It's the most me I've ever felt."

Zinadelphia embraces life's "ugly truths'' through her songwriting, using music as an outlet to process new experiences and express herself. She captures the highs and lows of womanhood, marrying vintage aesthetics with a fresh and exciting perspective.

SIMILAR KIND

There is something for everyone in Similar Kind. Evocative lyrics, playful synths, compelling grooves, and smooth sax licks blend effortlessly, proving they never force their songs to land on a specific target. Their sound has been likened to artists such as Japanese Breakfast, Benee, Magdalena Bay, and Hiatus Kaiyote. Similar Kind originated in a Connecticut garage almost seven years ago and have “been on the grind” ever since, which is made evident in their music. It’s often described as “fun” and “tight” by listeners, made possible through their camaraderie and collaboration developed in their years of playing together. This companionship shines through the six piece alt-pop band’s live performances as well. Lead singer Julia Breen, bassist Prince Porter, drummer Miles Dominici, guitarist Ben McNamara, keyboardist Jake James, and saxophonist Matt Oriente work in tandem to connect with every crowd - and get them dancing. The group is eager to share their first full-length album, good grief!, with audiences on June 6th, with the first single “search party” starting the rollout on April 11th. The album is a mature step for the band, exploring themes of complex grief and the dramatic changes a grieving person and their mindset through. Yet even beside heavy themes, the melodies and rhythms mostly remain dramatic, energetic, and razor sharp.
