Maddie Zahm

“It's a rare thing to find an artist who gets human emotion and the complexity of things like body image, sexuality, and struggles within religion as well as Maddie Zahm does” - The Honey Pop

24 year old Boise-native Maddie Zahm shares “If It’s Not God”, a song that intimately documents the massive upheaval she’s experienced over the last year: a life-changing journey that includes leaving the stifling church community where she long served as a worship leader, losing a significant amount of weight, moving to Los Angeles and coming out as queer. Maddie's music is resonating in a massive way, garnering over 262M views on TikTok to date, amassing 1M new followers in the last month and racking up almost 70K Spotify pre-saves for her last single "You Might Not Like Her". This new song is a heartfelt exploration of Maddie’s personhood, and we dare you to listen and come out dry eyed!

Be.N Reilly

“Ben’s intentional nature is obvious in the music, and evident in every topic of conversation that comes up” - Pigeons & Planes

Atlanta-based Brooklyn Native Be.N Relly drops his sophomore project Freelance: Charlie, a B-side to his last project Freelance. "Charlie" is the personification of the red cardinal bird who laces the theme across both projects, and in the latest release, the bird is free and self aware, much like Ben himself. The imaginative and intentional rapper came into the limelight in 2021 with his culture grabbing single “Maytag” that took TikTok by storm, garnering comparisons to Kendrick Lamar and revealing a cool confident flow bolstered by introspective and culturally relevant lyrics. With support from the likes of Pigeons & Planes, Complex, FLOOD, and more, it's clear that Be.N Reilly is here to stay!

SBTRKT

“One of electronic music’s most inventive and absorbing artists” - The Guardian

London-based SBTRKT is back with new song “Miss The Days”, the first outing from his just launched Ruff + Ready series, “a no-strings-attached slew of songs that exist on the fringes of SBTRKT’s multifaceted sound." The electronic music artist is known for his synaesthesiac production and early collaborations with and championing of Sampha and Jessie Ware, alongside Little Dragon, The Dream, Drake, A$AP Ferg and Ezra Koenig. His success as an artist has earned him over 500 million+ global streams and a cult following. We couldn’t be more excited to have him releasing new music via AWAL now!

Djo

“Dropping smart, groove-filled bops” - DORK

Massachusetts native Djo (Joe Keery of 'Stranger Things') releases “Gloom”, the second single taken from his upcoming album.  The alternative multi-instrumentalist is inspired by 80s synths and it almost seems that there is a wink at the camera in the form of a goofy guitar lick or a bizarre vocal effect in each song he releases. His previous release “Change” is already at 3m streams since releasing one month ago and is adding to his record of over 107m global streams. With the new season of Stranger Things, two of his previous singles “Roddy” and “Chataeu” are having a second wind on TikTok and the DJO is currently garnering close to 5 million streams per week across his catalog as his musical star continues to rise. This star will take the “Gloom” out of your day!
