The Pulse of Entertainment: Alternative Pop Artist Laika Reaches #1 on DRT
Independent Chart as She Promotes ‘Not a Love Song' Single
(November 15, 2024) - "I was really surprised," said Alternative
Pop artist Laika (Radar Live) about reaching #1 on the Digital Radio Tracker (DRT)
Independent Chart. "We've spent so much money, sweat and tears into radio!"
I asked the black-garth style artist about the origin of her unique name Laika, and she said, "I have a couple
of friends in a band, and they had a song named Laika...about a dog...so I took that name."
The Toronto born singer/songwriter
has the full package, and it could be why her support system is working so hard. They know it's just a matter of time for
her talent to become worldwide known. She has a fresh sound, a fresh unique look, great performance presence and outstanding
vocals.
I asked Laika about her black-garth "image," whether it was her or made up for stage and she said with
a little laugh, "I'm a bad ass. I've always been alternative - with tattoos...I've always had that look."
Her latest
single is "Not a Love Song" and it is accompanied by a music video which has amassed over 7,000 views and its was
just released last month.
"It's the first single from an album I want to release...something fresh and new. I wanted
to release a song with a sound I've never released before," she told me when I asked.
Laika's music has also reached #79
on the DRT Global Chart and is #83 on the DRT Top 200 Global Chart. Laika is considered a Global Music artist by her imprint
Radar Live. She is also a musician with skills playing the guitar. Her single "Not a Love Song" is from her album
titled "Just Peachy." It offers 12 selections. Laika has an impressive catalog of music that includes "Mindless"
with 36,000 views - released four years ago and "Dreams" with 1.4 thousand views - released three months ago.
"My
biggest dream...to keep it real...is to tour. I just want to perform at the biggest venues," Laika humbly told me when
I asked about her ultimate goal in the music industry.
