Future Stars: Kaya Stewart (Warner Bros)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Celebrity connections can get you a long way in the music industry, and being the daughter of Dave Stewart undoubtedly helped Kaya Stewart (not to be confused with K Stewart or K-Stew) secure a major label deal. However, it won’t hold much weight with the… Continue reading Future Stars: Kaya Stewart (Warner Bros)
Song of the Week: Cloves – Frail Love
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe.

But Loyle Carner isn’t playing the role of the cheeky young lad. He raps about serious subjects, such as… Continue reading Future Stars: Loyle Carner (Unsigned)
Future Stars: Pia Mia (Interscope)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. My first introduction to Pia Mia was with Bubblegum Boy, a duet with her best friend (at the time), Disney star Bella Thorne. It was a fun, silly teen pop song, but that side of Pia seems distant now. She grew up on the… Continue reading Future Stars: Pia Mia (Interscope)

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
