Future Stars: Tayler Buono (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Of all the YouTube stars, Tayler Buono isn’t the most popular. Her video for new single Technically Single has only had 20k views in 10 days. But what she has that most YouTubers lack is the potential to be more; to make waves outside of… Continue reading Future Stars: Tayler Buono (Unsigned)
Song of the Week: Montaigne – Because I Love You
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Getting bored waiting for Marina and the Diamonds to release new music? This new Aussie pop song should fill the gap, and to borrow a phrase from Montaigne herself, this isn’t boring. Because I Love You is a bouncy tune with witty lyrics and… Continue reading Song of the Week: Montaigne – Because I Love You

Future Stars: Kungs (Universal France)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I don’t often choose to feature DJs here, even when they have a massive hit on their hands, because they’re typically quite anonymous and often one hit wonders. However, I’m featuring France’s Kungs (real name Valentin Brunel) for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he’s… Continue reading Future Stars: Kungs (Universal France)
Future Stars: Atom Tree (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Glasgow probably isn’t the first place you’d think of to look for the next big thing in electro-pop, but maybe it should be. Apart from the obvious recent triumph of Chvrches, they have a track record with acts like Bis and Franz Ferdinand, and… Continue reading Future Stars: Atom Tree (Unsigned)

Song of the Week: Matoma ft. Becky Hill – False Alarm
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve seen a lot of Twitter chat about tropical house being overplayed and annoying. And yes, there’s a lot of it about and most of the tracks were clearly produced in less than an hour, but I still say as far as dance music… Continue reading Song of the Week: Matoma ft. Becky Hill – False Alarm

Future Stars: J Balvin (Capitol Latin)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. He’s never had a hit in the UK, but it’s still fair to say J Balvin is a global superstar. Despite having a title that sounds like a children’s TV character, his latest single Bobo has gained almost 150 million views in just six… Continue reading Future Stars: J Balvin (Capitol Latin)
