Zayn was never my favourite in One Direction but I always appreciated what his presence in the group did for British Muslims in mainstream music. While he’s now moved on to a more mature sound in his solo career, a new artist, cute 19-year-old… Continue reading Future Stars: Harris J (Awakening Records)

Future Stars: Sälen (Machine Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Sälen’s new single Diseasey stood out to me immediately when I heard it in a Spotify playlist last week, because of its frankly bizarre lyrics (even more weird is the fact that it wasn’t even the only new song about rotting teeth I heard… Continue reading Future Stars: Sälen (Machine Records)

Future Stars: Dagny (Republic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The Great Escape was the third time I’d seen Dagny at a festival, but the first time I walked away thinking it was time to feature the Norwegian singer here in Future Pop. She’s come a long way since I first caught her playing… Continue reading Future Stars: Dagny (Republic)
Future Stars: Muna (Columbia)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It’s often an act that I don’t expect much from who becomes my highlight of a festival – there’s nothing better than discovering a new favourite completely out of the blue. I was aware of LA girl trio Muna before The Great Escape, but… Continue reading Future Stars: Muna (Columbia)

Future Stars: Frenship (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Frenship is an LA-based electro-pop duo, made up of Brett Hite and James Sunderland, who are hoping to tap into the tropical trend. They’re best known for featuring on the Hype Machine favourite Knives by Norwegian producer Matoma, in which they somehow manage to… Continue reading Future Stars: Frenship (Unsigned)
Future Stars: James TW (Island)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Last week I saw Island’s new singer-songwriter signing James TW supporting Shawn Mendes and it was the best-matched headliner and support I’ve seen in a while. Any one of the 18-year-old Brit’s songs could have been tracks from Shawn’s album. James is quite geeky and posh (the… Continue reading Future Stars: James TW (Island)

Future Stars: Stephen (Halfway House)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I first heard of Stephen when his version of Hello by Adele went viral late last year. The cover stood out for its groovy and intricately-produced indie-rock sound. It was clearly not just a hastily-recorded cash-in, but instead an impressive introduction to a promising… Continue reading Future Stars: Stephen (Halfway House)
