Marina & The Diamonds
"Savages"
"Lies"
"Can't Pin Me Down"
This Welsh alternative/indie pop star came to America long ago, playing shows and festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza. It's hard to choose the better lyricist between her and Lana. All three of her albums feature her unique vibe, The Family Jewels (2010), Electra Heart (2012), and Froot (2015), while each one offers a sound progressively different from the last yet just as enticing.Sky Ferreira
"I Blame Myself"
"Night Time, My Time"
"I Will"
Self-made badass model-and-actress-turned-singer/songwriter Sky Ferreira has been in the public eye since she was just fourteen years old. She dropped out of school, left her family behind and forged herself a career in entertainment when she signed her first contract with Parlophone Records in 2009. She has experimented with several genres of music, predominantly dance pop, indie rock, synth pop, and new wave. She is likely best known for opening Miley Cyrus's Bangerz tour and for her long-time modeling work with IMG Models.
