Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve been a fan of Kyla La Grange since hearing Walk Through Walls in 2011, but she’s never quite had her moment. She started off as a Kate Bush-esque belter of dark, dramatic anthems on debut album Ashes, then took a side-step into quirky… Continue reading Song of the Week: Kyla La Grange – So Sweet

Song of the Week: Alessia Cara – I’m Yours
Last week I had the chance to attend the first UK shows by two young female artists on the brink of pop stardom, Alessia Cara and Halsey. So far, as I wrote a few days ago, Halsey is storming ahead, but with a debut single as powerful as Here, Alessia is certainly still in the… Continue reading Song of the Week: Alessia Cara – I’m Yours
Song of the Week: Asami Zdrenka – Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’m a little biased in choosing my Song of the Week this week, as I have been working with Asami Zdrenka for the past few months as part of management company Eye of the Storm. You may know her from Neon Jungle, the girlband… Continue reading Song of the Week: Asami Zdrenka – Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Song of the Week: Becky G – Break a Sweat
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It’s been 3 years since I featured Becky G here with high hopes for her future, and it’s kind of hard to say whether she’s been a success. She featured on the brilliant Oath by Cher Lloyd, and I enjoyed her catchy 2014 single… Continue reading Song of the Week: Becky G – Break a Sweat
Song of the Week: Emmelie de Forest – Hopscotch
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. You may remember Emmelie de Forest as the Danish winner of Eurovision 2013, but her new single Hopscotch is quite different to the folky ethno-pop of Only Teardrops. Hopscotch is a quirky, chanty number, pitched somewhere between Icona Pop and a children’s TV theme… Continue reading Song of the Week: Emmelie de Forest – Hopscotch
Song of the Week: Hailee Steinfeld – Love Myself
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. In June I excitedly wrote about Hailee Steinfeld, the teen actress and long-standing Friend of Taylor who had signed a record deal with Universal Republic. I had a good feeling about her pop star potential, and sure enough, her debut single Love Myself is… Continue reading Song of the Week: Hailee Steinfeld – Love Myself
Song of the Week: Cloves – Frail Love
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. In a world where a two-year-old Birdy song (and only the acoustic version of the much better original, at that) can reach the top 10 after a small snippet of it was featured on a Lloyds advert, the future looks bright for Australian singer… Continue reading Song of the Week: Cloves – Frail Love
Song of the Week: LCMDF – Procrastination 365
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Finland isn’t known for churning out pop masterpieces like its Scandinavian neighbours, but being in such close proximity to the home of ABBA and Max Martin can’t be a bad thing. Electro girl duo LCMDF prove the Finns do have what it takes to… Continue reading Song of the Week: LCMDF – Procrastination 365
Song of the Week: Emilie Esther – Inescapable
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There was a time when I thought RedOne could be the next Max Martin, but sadly he hasn’t been able to adapt to the changing musical trends in the same seamless way as Max. Most of his recent productions have been lacklustre, but Inescapable… Continue reading Song of the Week: Emilie Esther – Inescapable
Song of the Week: Hunter Hayes ft. Lady Antebellum – Where It All Begins
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Where It All Begins is an uplifting country-pop anthem by two of the current heavyweights of the country scene, young male artist Hunter Hayes and popular trio Lady Antebellum. Hunter is trying out a new approach to his release strategy, described by Billboard as… Continue reading Song of the Week: Hunter Hayes ft. Lady Antebellum – Where It All Begins
