Before Kesha’s new music emerged, I felt we were being prepared for it not to be very good, with stories about Sony rejecting the tracks she wanted to release.

Future Stars: BloodPop (Republic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Sorry might have been a big hit for Justin Bieber, but it’s had more of an effect on the lives of its co-creators.

Future Stars: 21 Savage (Epic/Sony)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. If you think Sam Hunt’s lyrics are icky, don’t look up what 21 Savage said about Kylie Jenner. Unfortunately sexism is even less of a barrier to success in the rap scene than it is in country. 24-year-old Shayaa Joseph, aka 21 Savage, is… Continue reading Future Stars: 21 Savage (Epic/Sony)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. MisterWives are an American indie-pop group who don’t get much attention from pop fans, but they have actually released some really catchy tunes.
