Future Stars: MØ (Sony/RCA)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. As the most talked about new Danish artist of the past few months, of course I have to feature MØ. Her name may be very irritating to those without a Scandinavian keyboard, but she is making waves in the UK and US regardless, with… Continue reading Future Stars: MØ (Sony/RCA)
Future Stars: Florida Georgia Line (Republic Records)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. In the UK we have a perception of country as a very conservative genre, but in fact most of the big hits have loads of personality and swagger to spare. Florida Georgia Line are a male duo who recently had a huge country hit… Continue reading Future Stars: Florida Georgia Line (Republic Records)
Future Stars: Tich (Universal/AATW)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Tich is proof that hard work and persistence can pay off if you have the talent to back it up. When I first wrote about her she had a different artist name and a different label, but when that fell apart her career really… Continue reading Future Stars: Tich (Universal/AATW)
Future Hits: The Tipping Point
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week’s Future Hits playlist features five tracks by past Future Pop artists which I think will give their UK careers a major boost.

Sam Smith – La La La Iggy Azalea – Work Kendrick Lamar – Swimming Pools… Continue reading Future Hits: The Tipping Point
Future Stars: Marika Hackman (Dirty Hit)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I first came across folk singer Marika when scouring MySpace for new talent around 2009. I was impressed with her teenage talent and natural, earthy prettiness, but she didn't fit with the pop projects I was working on at the time. I forgot about… Continue reading Future Stars: Marika Hackman (Dirty Hit)
Future Stars: Benjamin Lasnier (Sony Denmark)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Benjamin Lasnier is probably the worst singer I've ever featured on Future Pop (he really can't sing at all) but he's here because he is a sign of the times. Danish 12-year-old Benjamin is huge on Instagram with around 840,000 followers. His photos get… Continue reading Future Stars: Benjamin Lasnier (Sony Denmark)
Future Stars: Sky Ferreira (Polydor)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I've had an issue with Sky Ferreira since she ungratefully rubbished the best song she ever recorded (Obsession, written by Ryan Tedder) but after reading this 2012 interview I gave her another chance. Watching footage of her recent SXSW show, I understood her appeal,… Continue reading Future Stars: Sky Ferreira (Polydor)
Future Hits: Boys and Girls
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week’s Future Hits playlist features five collaborations by male and female artists that should soon be lighting up the charts. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw0LjVTuPux-p9mM0SVvRtdDqIyTMZd-V] Tracklisting: Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera – Feel This Moment Gorgon City ft. Yasmin – Real Rudimental ft. Ella Eyre – Waiting All… Continue reading Future Hits: Boys and Girls
Future Stars: Britt Nicole (Capitol/EMI)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Christian pop is typically quite poor compared to mainstream pop, but the genre does occasionally produce some real gems. The last Christian pop artist to achieve UK success was Stacie Orrico, briefly in the early 2000s, but I think Britt Nicole could be next.… Continue reading Future Stars: Britt Nicole (Capitol/EMI)
