Future Stars: Superorganism (Domino Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Last week I attended the BBC Introducing Amplify conference in London, and one of the panels featured Annie Mac and her producer discussing how they choose music for their show. They tipped a band I’d only vaguely heard of, so I made a note to check them… Continue reading Future Stars: Superorganism (Domino Records)

Future Stars: Yungen (RCA)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The days when SBTV could break a new act seem very distant, even with the resurgence of grime, but they can take credit for launching rapper Yungen, aka CJ Brooks. He first appeared on the channel in 2011, but it wasn’t til 2017 that… Continue reading Future Stars: Yungen (RCA)
Future Stars: The Aces (Red Bull Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. When you were a kid, did you form a band with your friends? Personally I was a member of innovatively-named duo the Spice Sisters (the twist was… we weren’t actually sisters… and we couldn’t sing). In 2008, four pre-teen girls in Utah formed the… Continue reading Future Stars: The Aces (Red Bull Records)

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)
