Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz are the French/Cuban daughters of Anga Diaz, a former member of the Buena Vista Social Club.

Future Stars: Låpsley (XL Recordings)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There has been an industry buzz about Liverpudlian “ambient electro” artist Låpsley (real name Holly Fletcher) for about a year but I just couldn’t get into her music. However, her song Falling Short has grown on me, and she looks likely to appear in… Continue reading Future Stars: Låpsley (XL Recordings)
Future Stars: PVRIS (Rise Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I like the idea of female-fronted pop-rock acts, but their output rarely comes close to Max Martin’s take on the genre. I loved Still Into You by Paramore, but The Pretty Reckless and Tonight Alive are nowhere to be seen on my iTunes. Nonetheless,… Continue reading Future Stars: PVRIS (Rise Records)

Future Stars: Shamir (XL Recordings)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I had Shamir Bailey down as a pretentious electro artist aimed at indie bores, but after watching his new video for On The Regular I realise that he can be, and obviously wants to be, so much more than that. The 20-year-old rapper/singer from Las… Continue reading Future Stars: Shamir (XL Recordings)

Future Stars: Chløë Black
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It seems to be a trend these days for artists to be both Australian and European – Say Lou Lou (Swedish), Gotye (Belgian) and now the French-Australian one-to-watch, Chløë Black. She’s also lived in LA and is now based here in London, where she’s… Continue reading Future Stars: Chløë Black
