Future Stars: Billie Marten (Chess Club/RCA)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There’s a new 16-year-old female singer called Billie. When this last happened, in 1998, it was the start of a brief but brilliant pop career. Sadly, the chance that the 2015 Billie will release anything as poptastic as Because We Want To or Day… Continue reading Future Stars: Billie Marten (Chess Club/RCA)

Future Stars: Lawrence Taylor (Unsigned)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. When TV talent shows became huge in the early 2000s, one of the main criticisms levelled at the winners by bitter musicians and grumpy music fans was that they hadn’t “earned” their success by playing “the toilet circuit.” The idea was that success shouldn’t… Continue reading Future Stars: Lawrence Taylor (Unsigned)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week the 1D wind-down officially began, as the band played their last full gig before their impending hiatus, at the unremarkable venue of Sheffield Hallam Arena.

Future Stars: Post Malone (Republic Records)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Although Post Malone’s music couldn’t sound much more different to Kiiara’s, his career trajectory has been strangely similar. Also aged 20, the Texan hip-hop singer (real name Austin Post) was until recently a total unknown, and got his big break via Soundcloud. After dropping… Continue reading Future Stars: Post Malone (Republic Records)

Future Stars: Kiiara (Atlantic)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A hardware store employee from Illinois who dislikes interviews and Instagram doesn’t sound like a promising pop star, but Kiiara‘s super-current sound and lyrics made her, in the words of Neon Gold, the “hottest unsigned artist alive.” The 20-year-old singer is the quintessential Soundcloud… Continue reading Future Stars: Kiiara (Atlantic)
