Song of the Week: Confidence Man – Boyfriend (Repeat)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I love discovering a song that is really unique, and this quirky new single by Aussie electro-poppers Confidence Man certainly fits the bill. I like its disparaging lyrics about a boring boy, and its layered vocals on top of a bouncy, squiggly disco track.… Continue reading Song of the Week: Confidence Man – Boyfriend (Repeat)

Future Stars: Betsy (Warner Bros)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There are plenty of female singers with interesting and unusual voices, but I can’t think of even one current artist who sounds like Betsy. Her strong, deep voice instantly makes each of her songs distinctive and recognisable. The Welsh 24-year-old featured on Endless Love,… Continue reading Future Stars: Betsy (Warner Bros)

Song of the Week: Milly Pye – Too Many People

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe.

The 19-year-old singer has been quietly beavering away on tracks for her debut… Continue reading Song of the Week: Milly Pye – Too Many People

Future Stars: Sabrina Carpenter (Hollywood Records)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Disney label Hollywood Records has struggled to launch a new generation of teen acts to take over from Miley, Selena, Jo Bros and co. I always thought their music was quite weak (except for the odd classic) but their huge TV shows and films… Continue reading Future Stars: Sabrina Carpenter (Hollywood Records)

Song of the Week: Capital Cities – Vowels

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’m not too convinced by the new DNCE single Body Moves, but this track released on the same day by Capital Cities is exactly what they should have done. Vowels has a memorable, original lyrical concept and groovy disco-pop sound, much like Cake By… Continue reading Song of the Week: Capital Cities – Vowels
