Song of the Week: Walker McGuire – Til Tomorrow
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A few weeks ago I enjoyed a country song on The Voice, started thinking about visiting Nashville (definitely has to happen in 2017), and quickly descended deep into one of my country phases. The perception of country music has definitely improved in the past… Continue reading Song of the Week: Walker McGuire – Til Tomorrow

Tracklisting: Robin Schulz & David Guetta ft. Cheat Codes – Shed a Light Vice ft. Jasmine Thompson & Skizzy Mars – Steady 1234 Nause – Dynamite Kungs ft.… Continue reading Future Hits: I try to talk, you keep on dancing
Future Stars: Camila Cabello (label TBC)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Fifth Harmony may be new to most Brits, but they actually formed only a year after Little Mix (LM had four albums in the time 5H had two). This puts the members in a weird position where they’re ready to move on at a… Continue reading Future Stars: Camila Cabello (label TBC)
Future Stars: Ray BLK (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The BBC Sound of 2017 longlist was announced today, and while next year’s not looking good for pop, female solo artists have a strong presence. My favourite, along with Nadia Rose, is Ray BLK, a South London R&B/soul singer who’s already one of the… Continue reading Future Stars: Ray BLK (Unsigned)
Song of the Week: Twice – TT
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. With 2NE1 out of action while CL pursues her solo career in the US, there’s a spot open for a new K-pop girl group to win my heart. Fellow YG act Black Pink are obvious contenders, but I’m also impressed by a new group… Continue reading Song of the Week: Twice – TT

Future Stars: Dave (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Drake has had his eye on the UK music scene for a while, from sampling Kyla’s funky house hit Do You Mind on One Dance to his long-standing obsession with grime. Now he’s lent his vocals to a new remix of rising British rapper… Continue reading Future Stars: Dave (Unsigned)
Future Stars: Aanysa (RCA)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. 17-year-old singer Aanysa may be from Kansas via LA, and signed to RCA US, but you wouldn’t guess it from the very British sound of her debut single. There’s an easy explanation for this – it’s a collaboration with Snakehips, co-written by Tom Aspaul… Continue reading Future Stars: Aanysa (RCA)
Song of the Week: Sälen – Copper Kiss
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I featured British trio Sälen as Future Stars back in June and at the time it took some serious detective work for me to find their names and a photo. Debut single Diseasey was followed by the hazy, summery The Drwg and new release Copper… Continue reading Song of the Week: Sälen – Copper Kiss
