Future Stars: MØ (Sony/RCA)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. As the most talked about new Danish artist of the past few months, of course I have to feature MØ.

Future Stars: Florida Georgia Line (Republic Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. In the UK we have a perception of country as a very conservative genre, but in fact most of the big hits have loads of personality and swagger to spare. Florida Georgia Line are a male duo who recently had a huge country hit… Continue reading Future Stars: Florida Georgia Line (Republic Records)
Future Stars: Tich (Universal/AATW)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Tich is proof that hard work and persistence can pay off if you have the talent to back it up.

Future Stars: Marika Hackman (Dirty Hit)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I first came across folk singer Marika when scouring MySpace for new talent around 2009. I was impressed with her teenage talent and natural, earthy prettiness, but she didn't fit with the pop projects I was working on at the time. I forgot about… Continue reading Future Stars: Marika Hackman (Dirty Hit)
