Future Stars: BTS (Big Hit Entertainment)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. In One Direction’s absence, the title of the world’s biggest boyband undoubtedly belongs to a K-pop act. As BIGBANG are also on hiatus, it’s down to S.M. Entertainment’s Korean-Chinese group EXO, or Big Hit Entertainment’s BTS. When it comes to crossing over to the western… Continue reading Future Stars: BTS (Big Hit Entertainment)
Future Stars: Billie Eilish (Polydor/Interscope)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Last week I started drafting my Stars of 2018 list, mainly so I could note down Billie Eilish, who I think will be all over the ‘ones to watch’ features next year. She’d just turned 14 when she popped onto my radar with Ocean… Continue reading Future Stars: Billie Eilish (Polydor/Interscope)
Song of the Week: Sofi Tukker ft. The Knocks, Nervo & Alisa Ueno – Best Friend
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week Sofi Tukker returned to their natural home, soundtracking an Apple ad, and they did it in style. Their hectically brilliant new single Best Friend accompanied the announcement of the new iPhone X. Although the kooky New York duo are the artists taking primary credit for the… Continue reading Song of the Week: Sofi Tukker ft. The Knocks, Nervo & Alisa Ueno – Best Friend

Future Stars: Bhad Bhabie (Atlantic US)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Bhad Bhabie is the rap pseudonym of viral star Danielle Bregoli. The ‘troubled teen’ became famous from an appearance on Dr. Phil last year, during which she threatened to beat up her mum, called the audience “hos” and coined her catchphrase “cash me outside.”… Continue reading Future Stars: Bhad Bhabie (Atlantic US)
Future Stars: Sarah Close (Parlophone)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I first heard of Sarah Close when scouting talent for Universal a few years ago, when she was a teenager and already had a small following on YouTube. She came to London from her home in the Isle of Wight to audition, and although she… Continue reading Future Stars: Sarah Close (Parlophone)
Song of the Week: Priest – White Wing Dove
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. White Wing Dove is a sweet piece of blissful electro-pop that feels out of place amongst the electronic music of today. The Chainsmokers have had no influence here. Its purity and simplicity reminds me more of the mid-2000s – think Ladytron or Saint Etienne. I… Continue reading Song of the Week: Priest – White Wing Dove

Future Stars: Lil Peep (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Lil Peep’s sound and look are a 2010s take on the emo trend of the 2000s, and he’s caused controversy not only for his lyrics (which cover topics like depression, death, sex and drugs) but his musical identity: Can he actually be called a rapper?… Continue reading Future Stars: Lil Peep (Unsigned)
