Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. My first introduction to Pia Mia was with Bubblegum Boy, a duet with her best friend (at the time), Disney star Bella Thorne. It was a fun, silly teen pop song, but that side of Pia seems distant now. She grew up on the… Continue reading Future Stars: Pia Mia (Interscope)
