Future Stars: Charlie Puth (Atlantic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It seemed like Charlie Puth (pronounced “Pooth”) came from nowhere to hit no.1 with his Wiz Khalifa collaboration See You Again, from the Furious 7 soundtrack, but in fact he’s been hanging around the edges of the music industry for years. He began posting… Continue reading Future Stars: Charlie Puth (Atlantic)
Future Stars: Tink (Mosley Music Group/Epic Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A couple of years ago, there seemed to be a new female rapper for me to feature here every week. Now the dust has settled, Iggy and Nicki are miles ahead of the pack, but they shouldn’t get complacent – it’s never too late… Continue reading Future Stars: Tink (Mosley Music Group/Epic Records)

Future Stars: Izzy Bizu (Epic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Considering teen girlband Soundgirl’s highest chart position was no.45 (unfairly – the single was very poptastic), it’s impressive that all three members went on to have solo careers. Olivia, under the name LIV, is working with Xenomania, while Little Nikki had a record deal… Continue reading Future Stars: Izzy Bizu (Epic)
