Florrie - Florence Arnold, better known as "Florrie" is an English pop singer who not only has a beautiful voice and killer lyrics, but an effortless 70's-inspired style that makes her one of the most likable artists out there. "Real Love" is her most recent single that I can't get enough of - and it helps that the fashion in the video is to die for.
Tracks To Listen To: "Real Love", "Little White Lies", "Too Young to Remember", "Shot You Down"
LÉON - Look out for LÉON, the next big pop star coming out of Sweden. The uniqueness of her voice's tone and high-fashion look are going to bring her to the United States in no time. She only has an EP released currently (and sadly no music videos) - but hopefully there will be more to come from her soon, (and possibly a tutorial on how to get a cat-eye as perfect as hers).
Tracks To Listen To: "Tired of Talking", "Treasure", "Nobody Cares"
James Bay - Though a little less obscure, James Bay's relaxed indie rock sound is another that is on the rise. His long hair and indie vibes draw you in, and the raspy undertones of his voice make you want to listen to him for hours. He is already very popular in England with his album "Chaos and the Calm", but after a recent performance with Justin Bieber at the BRIT Awards, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him on U.S. charts.
Tracks To Listen To: "Let It Go", "Craving", "If You Ever Want To Be In Love", "Best Fake Smile", "Incomplete"
Zara Larsson - The winner of "Talang" (Sweden's version of America's Got Talent), Zara Larsson has been topping the charts overseas and has finally reached the United States like many others on this list. The mixture of her rich and naturally cool tones make you want to hear her songs over and over again, plus her makeup is always incredibly fierce.
Tracks To Listen To: "Uncover", "Lush Life", "Carry You Home"
Nina Nesbitt - I've been listening to Nina for years. Her Scottish accent and cutesy look always appealed to me. But recently, she's had a total transformation into an independent woman and sex symbol with her new EP "Modern Love". Both her old albums and this new EP are definitely worth listening to, and her modern look is the perfect place for fashion inspiration.
Tracks To Listen To: "Chewing Gum", "Boy", "Stay Out", "Take You To Heaven"
Niykee Heaton - Yes, that is pronounced "Nikki", and yes you should watch out for her because she is blowing up in the music industry right now. Men love her effortlessly beautiful appearance (and perfect body), and women love her emotional and honest lyrics. She really has it all. I find myself listening to her at least once a day and can already see her being the next big thing in pop music, and her risqué style is sure to get people talking.
Tracks To Listen To: "Bad Intentions", "Skin Tight", "Champagne"
Chelsea Lankes - Representing Texas in the music industry is Chelsea Lankes. I discovered her very recently, but everything I've heard from her so far has been incredible. After seeing her scruffy bleach blonde look in her music videos, I knew she belonged on this list. She has both the voice and the style of the next big female star in electro-pop.
Tracks To Listen To: "Secret", "Bullet", "Ghost"
Jon Bellion - I was introduced to Jon Bellion a long time ago by a friend, and I've never stopped listening to him. I don't find him to be very well-known, but his sound and look are so interesting it gets you hooked. He's rocking the hipster beard and an angelic voice, so he's one you should be watching for sure.
Tracks To Listen To: "Carry Your Throne", "Luxury", "Woke the F*** Up"
Ella Eyre - Ella has been around for along time, especially on the British charts, but I've noticed her gaining increasing popularity in the United States too and I'm loving it. She is one of the most fierce artists I've ever seen with powerful lyrics and perfect hair and makeup to back it up. If you want to listen to something soulful with an edge, listen to Ella Eyre - and check out her badass style as well.
Tracks To Listen To: "If I Go", "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off", "Good Times"
Troye Sivan - Troye is an artist who became a sensation almost overnight. After his start as a YouTuber and an advocate for the LGBT community, his singing career took off. His album "Blue Neighborhood" is one that you'll want to listen to all the way through over and over - every song is unique and equally good. Of course, it also helps that he's one of the cutest and most fashionable guys in the music industry right now.
Tracks To Listen To: "YOUTH", "EASE", "COOL", "FOOLS"
G-Eazy - For anyone who knows me, G-Eazy will always have a special place in my heart. He's very different from anyone else on this month's list, and the only rapper I have represented. His track "Me. Myself, & I" is huge right now. It went Platinum this week. But, there is a lot more to G-Eazy than his singles on the radio. I highly encourage everyone to give some of his older songs and the other tracks on his new album a try, and while you're at it, take your time soaking in on his incredibly attractive "slick bad boy" style.
Tracks To Listen To: "Me, Myself & I", "Some Kind Of Drug", "Everything Will Be OK", "Let's Get Lost"
Leighton Meester - You may know her as Blair Waldorf from "Gossip Girl", but what very few people know is Leighton actually released an indie album titled "Heartstrings" back in 2014. Her voice and tracks are beautiful - and for diehard fans of Gossip Girl like me, I will always support "Blair" in everything she does. She is a major inspiration in my personal style.
Tracks To Listen To: "Heartstrings", "Sweet", "Run Away"
