Future Stars: QT (XL Recordings)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The label/genre PC Music has been on my radar for a while but I haven’t featured any of the acts for two reasons. Firstly, Future Pop is about predicting the next big thing, and I don’t believe PC Music is going to be a… Continue reading Future Stars: QT (XL Recordings)

Future Stars: Astrid (Universal)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. 18-year-old Norwegian artist Astrid Smeplass could be the next Tove Styrke. Like Tove, Astrid is a talented blonde singer with a pretty yet strong voice, who did well in the local version of Idol as the season’s quirky pop girl. After the show, she… Continue reading Future Stars: Astrid (Universal)

It turns out they are similar not just in name, but also in musical concept. Both emulate the sound and styles of the early 90s. Only… Continue reading Future Stars: Only Real (Virgin EMI)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. You might know Conrad Sewell, often credited just as Conrad, from Kygo’s single Firestone. That may be his international breakthrough, but he’s not new to the music industry. As a teenager in 2004 he competed in Australian Idol (but wasn’t a finalist, as I’ve… Continue reading Future Stars: Conrad Sewell (300 Entertainment)
Future Stars: Christine and the Queens (Because Music/Neon Gold)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I first heard of Christine and the Queens via Lorde, who tweeted about her in 2014, and they were recently spotted hanging out together. The connection makes sense as her music is unique and exciting in the same way Royals was on first listen,… Continue reading Future Stars: Christine and the Queens (Because Music/Neon Gold)
