I featured Krishane’s debut single Drunk and Incapable as a Song of the Week when it first premiered, but now that it’s rising up the Shazam chart thanks to some good radio play, I thought it was about time I made him a Future Star.… Continue reading Future Stars: Krishane (Atlantic)
Future Stars: ODESZA (Counter Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. ODESZA are an electro duo from Seattle who made a big impact with their brilliant new song Say My Name.

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It seems fitting that Sam Smith recently tweeted about Karen Harding’s new single Say Something, because they’ve both achieved the same unusual feat. They’ve reinvented themselves from a cheesy pop past into credible artists who are taken seriously. While Sam’s hilarious teenage music video has largely… Continue reading Future Stars: Karen Harding (Method Records)

As the latest in a long line of new electro-R&B artists parading through the blogosphere, it was tempting to ignore Jones, but I try to give any new female artist a fair chance.
