Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Ten years ago, a solo single by Shane Filan from Westlife would have been an easy number one. If Brian McFadden could do it, then the fans' favourite and lead singer of the band certainly could. Now, after Westlife slowly faded to a split,… Continue reading Future Stars: Shane Filan (Capitol)

Future Stars: Le Youth (Ultra Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Le Youth is the pseudonym of LA producer Wes James, and Cool is his brilliant new single.

Future Stars: Half Moon Run (Communion/Island)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There are some artists who I wish would become more popular so I could feature them in Future Pop.

Future Stars: Lil Twist (Young Money/Universal)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. So far, 20-year-old rapper Lil Twist is more famous for his celebrity friends than his music. He's close with Justin Bieber (some say he is a bad influence on the teen singer) and is rumoured to be dating Kim Kardashian's younger sister, Kylie Jenner.… Continue reading Future Stars: Lil Twist (Young Money/Universal)

Future Stars: Robert DeLong (Glassnote)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Robert DeLong was described by Radio 1 music executive Nigel Harding as "the indie Calvin." I understand the comparison, as he is a DJ/producer who also sings on his tracks, but I think his music would appeal more to fans of LCD Soundsystem. He's… Continue reading Future Stars: Robert DeLong (Glassnote)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Megan Nicole is one of many YouTube artists being launched on major US record labels at the moment, and I'm very interested to see which acts succeed.
