Future Stars: Indiana (Sony Music)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. If Diana Vickers was cooler and darker, her music might sound like Indiana. This Nottingham singer has the same quirky tone, but instead of affected kookiness, her sound is sparse and haunting. Personally, I'd like some more catchy hooks, but I appreciate that she's… Continue reading Future Stars: Indiana (Sony Music)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Sometimes when producers decide to release music under their own name, they make the mistake of giving the best tracks away to others, which inhibits their own success. Personally, I think they should release their best work themselves, or remain behind the scenes. Luckily,… Continue reading Future Stars: Show N Prove (AATW)
