III Points Miami 2022: 7 Acts Not to Miss
III Points, Miamiâs most revered celebration of music and immersive art, is back for yet another year of euphoric debauchery. When youâre not practicing your gum-chewing face for headliner RosalÃa or struggling to survive the South Florida humidity as bedazzled jewels melt off your face, make sure to catch some of these must-see acts.
Erika de Casier
With angelic vocals and the ability to articulate loveâs daunting nuances, Portuguese-born Danish singer Erika de Casier is R&Bâs most precious kept secret. Her latest single âe-motions,â in collaboration with Mura Masa, is a futuristic love ballad, though the sorrow-drenched lyrics wonât distract from how effortless it is to lose your body in its electronic waves.
Rawayana
Effortlessly groovy, Venezuelaâs Rawayana brings to life something rarely seen in Latin musicââtrippy pop.â Their special concoction of reggae and funk is only more intoxicating during their live performances, leaving crowds in a trance with their soft melodies. Theyâre a definite donât-miss.
Shygirl
One of one, this English multidisciplinary artist has the hyperpop arena in a chokehold. Though her stage name is Shygirl, nothing about her is reserved, from her deconstructed club sound to her extreme fashion. To miss a live set of hers would be downright sinful: she is the mold.
The MarÃas
Ones To Watch veterans The MarÃas have given LAâs signature indie pop a psychedelic, Latin kiss, making something so uniquely theirs that itâs no wonder theyâve garnered such a cult following. Peppering in Bossa Nova and Spanish sweet nothings, catching their latest feature with Bad Bunny live would be nothing short of a spiritual experience.
Yellow Days
Singlehandedly charioting the return of the "Let Love Rule" era, British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Yellow Days can groove the sadness out of anyone. His stage name is in reference to the beautiful days of our youth, which is exactly the essence his soul-filled indie-rock encapsulates.
ilikebloo
A free-spirited artist in bloom whose magic is his own raw liberation, Miamiâs ilikebloo is the kind of performer you never quite come back down from, brimming with energy you wish you could sip through a straw. His latest project Wanna Go Outside?, performed and produced alongside Zander Zel, is an alternative experiment gone right, challenging genre and fixed lines.
Tama Gucci
Miamiâs very own Tama Gucci has become a staple in the underground queer scene, curating a sound so sonically futuristic you canât help but be left in awe by how many lightyears ahead he is. Embodied innovation, his sound pays homage to the digital age that has allowed the curious and unique to blossom free.
