If you’re looking for new music, we’ve created a list of established artists you may know and new artists you might want to explore.

1Willis

Willis, the Nashville indie five-piece whose early releases have garnered over 350 million streams, the #1 spot on TikTok’s “Viral” charts. They just released a new song “Twist of Fate.”

“With Twist of Fate, I was leaning into that déjà vu feeling,” says WILLIS vocalist/bassist Murphy Billings. “Like you meet someone new, but it feels like you’ve known them forever. There’s this weird familiarity, almost like a dream, and it makes you wonder if maybe it was fate, like maybe you were supposed to cross paths. It’s not about one specific type of relationship, it’s more about how your mind starts racing through all the possibilities in that moment, wondering if it’s a twist of fate. The title actually comes from the Hardy Boyz finishing move. That’s where the Matt Hardy/Lita and Martin/Gina references come in. Growing up, they embodied two extremes of what relationships can turn into to me, and they give the song this cinematic/sitcom/wrestling-storyline vibe that captures the thrill and uncertainty of a new connection.”
