Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Terror Jr’s debut single 3 Strikes caused confusion when it appeared online with little information about the artist behind it. It was featured in the music video-esque advert for Kylie Jenner’s new lipgloss, and fans thought at first it might be her long-rumoured debut… Continue reading Future Stars: Terror Jr (EFFESS)

Future Stars: Cheat Codes (Spinnin Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Before the end of 2016, it’s entirely likely that there will be no 90s hits left to be covered or sampled. Perky LA electro-pop trio Cheat Codes have staked their claim on Salt-n-Pepa’s 1991 single Let’s Talk About Sex. Their version, released through Spinnin… Continue reading Future Stars: Cheat Codes (Spinnin Records)
Future Stars: Anderson .Paak (Interscope/Aftermath)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Anderson .Paak caught my attention when he made his TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with his band The Free Nationals in February. I was impressed by his charismatic performance and variety of talents – in the space of two songs,… Continue reading Future Stars: Anderson .Paak (Interscope/Aftermath)

Future Stars: DLOW (Atlantic)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. When I saw the video for DLOW’s single Do It Like Me, I thought it was a rip-off of Silentó’s Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae), and it certainly follows the same formula, but 20-year-old rapper/dancer Daryon Simmons has history in this area. Back in 2014,… Continue reading Future Stars: DLOW (Atlantic)
Future Stars: Ruth B (Columbia)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The fact that you can become a famous singer from posting six-second clips online is quite mind-boggling for anyone over the age of 20 (myself included), but I do appreciate how the task forces the artist to create the most memorable, catchy and shareable hook… Continue reading Future Stars: Ruth B (Columbia)

Future Stars: Basic Tape (Parlophone)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I find that a lot of electronic music in the Soundcloud era is lacking personality and a sense of fun, so Basic Tape’s lively, uplifting sound was a refreshing discovery. The French duo, Sav Milot and Ben Emard, have just signed to Parlophone, according… Continue reading Future Stars: Basic Tape (Parlophone)
Future Stars: Nadia Rose (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I don’t listen to much rap music, so I think it’s a testament to Nadia Rose’s charm, wit and creativity that when I first saw her video for D.F.W.T., I instantly loved her. She’s great fun, and her feisty lyrics are full of pop… Continue reading Future Stars: Nadia Rose (Unsigned)
