Zayn is the ‘edgy’ one whose well-hidden bad attitude is shining through, Niall is sweet but dull, Louis’s steering sensibly clear of singing and Harry’s taking the time… Continue reading Future Stars: Liam Payne (Capitol)
Song of the Week: KREAM ft. Clara Mae – Taped Up Heart
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe.

Future Stars: Noah Cyrus (label TBC)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Age 16 might be pretty young to begin a music career, but Noah Cyrus is already behind compared to her older sister.
