Guitar Pop and Nostalgia: A conversation with Chelsea Collins
Chelsea Collins understands great pop music. Which is why it’s no surprise her most recent single “07 Britney” is a knockout. The LA-based producer and songwriter has kind of been kicking the door down as of late. C-Heads recently caught up with Chelsea to talk about “07 Britney”, creative process, and her undying love for the pop music of the aughts.
“Take in the View” with Olivia Reid
“Stop and smell the roses.” The age old cliche we all forget to listen to. Especially in America; fast paced, the world’s stage. Brooklyn based producer and songwriter Oliva Reid is slowing things down a bit. Not in terms of the music, it’s actually a rather exhilarating production, but in terms of mantra
Song Premiere: Shawn Hook – “Instant Crush”

Song Premiere: Caroline Renezeder – “Common Theme”
Common themes are all around us. Sometimes they just take a while for us to realize. They’re the context for personal growth. Caroline is laying that down on her newest single, appropriately titled, “Common Theme”. The LA-based singer-songwriter, and recent USC alum, had a very busy 2019, rolling out an EP and a double single, and she’s already back for more.
Fast Life: a chat with pop chanteuse Ayelle
Sometimes you write a song that becomes self-fulfilling. That’s kind of what happened with independent pop artist Ayelle and her most recent single “Fast Life”. The multicultural singer-songwriter has been working for years honing in on a batch of songs she’ll be dropping this May in the form of a twelve song mixtape, entitled NOMAD MIXTAPE.
Song Premiere: Nightly – “the movies feat. Charli Adams”
Nashville-based pop group Nightly will tell you that. After breaking out with their hit single “XO” in 2016, the band signed a major deal. However, it wouldn’t be their permanent home. As things ended up not working out, the band soldiered on independently, touring and releasing music themselves.
Song Premiere: LeyeT – “Last Thought”
Sometimes you just gotta move on. That’s what LeyeT is doing on her new single. Freshly out of her recording contract, the LA-based pop artist is back to doing things…
Smallpools and morgxn take a moment to breathe on “slowdown”
Simply, and eloquently, that’s what “slowdown” is about. Indie pop titans Smallpools and morgxn have joined forces for their latest single, and it could not come at a better time. Held down by an undeniable bass groove, and thumping four-on-the-floor drums, “slowdown” is the perfect supplement for dancing the quarantine blues away, without losing perspective.

Song Premiere: Olivia Grace – “Roulette”
Olivia Grace isn’t just talking the talk; she’s walking the walk too. Undeterred by the current global pandemic, she’s giving the world perhaps what it needs most right now, new music.

Video Premiere: Marie Lang – “Body”
“‘Body’ to me is an ode to love and I wanted to show different connections and relationships. Although the chorus could be interpreted as sexual, I wanted to focus more on trust and emotional intimacy, rather than the physical aspect. The whole cast really embraced the song and the challenge it posed, and we had some really beautiful, honest moments on set.”
Song Premiere: ARI – “Nothin but a Monster”
Sometimes it’s sharp; brought on by circumstances out of your control. Sometimes it’s gradual, perhaps the never ending trek of self-improvement. Not to say there can’t be more than one of those moments, but the crossover is a very human experience.
