Song of the Week: Susanne Sundfør – Fade Away
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’m a bit late on Susanne Sundfør, because I ignored her for ages thinking she was a boring indie-folk artist, when actually she makes very cool, quirky electro-pop. I should have had more faith – she is Norwegian, after all! Fade Away was the… Continue reading Song of the Week: Susanne Sundfør – Fade Away

Future Stars: Real Lies (Marathon)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There are a lot of people referencing the ‘90s in fashion and music these days, but you don’t see many taking it as far as Real Lies. Unfortunately, their inspiration comes from the early part of the ‘90s I’m glad I was too busy… Continue reading Future Stars: Real Lies (Marathon)
Future Stars: Phoebe Ryan (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Launching a new pop artist without a major label or a TV platform is pretty tough, but Phoebe Ryan is setting a great example. She’s spent the past few years getting ready, so that when her music finally went live online it had the… Continue reading Future Stars: Phoebe Ryan (Unsigned)
Song of the Week: The Mowgli’s – I’m Good
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Despite their annoying name (will someone tell us what belongs to The Mowgli??), I’m a big fan of the new single by The Mowgli’s. I think it could be the next “adult contemporary” worldwide hit, in the vein of Little Talks, Jumped Up Kicks… Continue reading Song of the Week: The Mowgli’s – I’m Good

Future Stars: Who Is Fancy (Universal Republic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A collaboration between two of the most influential men in music quietly went to US radio last week. Who Is Fancy is a new artist signed by Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta. Even if the single, Googbye, was terrible, I’d still be predicting a… Continue reading Future Stars: Who Is Fancy (Universal Republic)
Future Stars: BØRNS (Interscope)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. In the race to become the next male singing, songwriting superstar, there seems to be a new strong contender every week. James Bay’s Brit award seems barely significant when his competitors are getting shout-outs from the biggest names in music. Last week I featured… Continue reading Future Stars: BØRNS (Interscope)
