It seems like we listen to the same artists and the same type of music everyday. Whether it\u2019s rap, pop or Latin, music seems to have become more about the beats rather than the lyrics sung over them. However, artists and bands like LANY, Cesar Santalo and Maggie Rogers help prove that underground artists<\/span><\/a> exist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LANY<\/span><\/p>\n

Formed in 2014, LANY<\/span><\/a> is an indie pop band with music and lyrics that portray deep human emotions.\u00a0 One example is <\/span>Thru These Tears<\/span><\/i>, a song where the lead singer, Paul Klein, sings about heartbreak.\u00a0 However, it isn\u2019t your typical clich\u00e9 heartbreak song that makes you roll your eyes and lose interest. Instead, LANY sings about how each day he finds it easier to let go and despite it \u201churting like hell\u201d he knows he\u2019ll be ok in the end.\u00a0 In every song this band produces, you can\u2019t look past the heart and time put into creating their music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cesar Santalo<\/span><\/p>\n

Santalo<\/span><\/a> first put out music in 2017 which gained 1,500,000 streams in less than a year with his extended play <\/span>Things Happen<\/span><\/i>. His music, a blend of R&B and hip-hop, fits perfectly into the music that is being put out now, tapping into the soul of his audience through modern beats. With its lyrics, it forms the perfect synthesis of the emotions he wants you to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Album
New Age: While generally unknown, artists like Maggie Rogers (pictured in her album cover for Heard It In A Past Life), LANY and Cesar Santalo deserve a more global audience.

Maggie Rogers<\/span><\/p>\n

Rogers<\/span><\/a>, has been producing music since 2012, though she first rose to prominence in 2016 after wowing artist Pharrell with her song <\/span>Alaska<\/span><\/i>. Although she is bigger in other states, her music hasn\u2019t fully traveled everywhere, especially since a lot of the music that is popular today is not the same as the style she performs. Her music is more about staying true to herself and how even though life may be suffocating she continues on, which she outlines in her debut album <\/span>Heard It In A Past Life<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 She pours out her heart in the music she writes, making listening to it worth it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite LANY being the \u201cbiggest\u201d out of all of these artists, it doesn\u2019t make them better than others. So why is it that they aren\u2019t on the same celebrity level as Beyonc\u00e9 or Justin Timberlake?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems bigger artists like Beyonc\u00e9 have been on the radio for so long that we often don\u2019t search for something new. We seem to get caught up in what we already know and what is fed to us. It\u2019s why we should break from the playlist of songs we\u2019re given on the radio and give artists like LANY, Cesar Santalo and Maggie Rogers a chance. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
