Within the endless current of new music, it’s difficult for anyone to keep up with all that’s coming out. To combat this ongoing influx of sound, we publish our “Best New Artists of the Month” articles in the hopes that you never miss out on the outstanding new artists emerging in recent times. Alessia Cara [track id="00950702" artist="Alessia Cara" title="Outlaws"][track id="00950707" artist="Alessia Cara" title="Four Pink Walls"] Despite the instant success of "Here", the debut track from Canadian-born, Def Jam-signed artist Alessia Cara, we weren't quite sure if she was going to go the one-and-done route or actually find widespread success. Well, now with her debut EP out, it's safe to say that she's a star. Four Pink Walls, that EP, is going to be having everyone singing her praises, and the way she absolutely excels across different production styles and genres shows that the talent she possesses isn't one-dimensional at all. It's only a matter of time until she's regarded as the next big pop artist in the world. - written by Chad Hillard. So Below [track id="00950585" artist="So Below" title="Drift"] Following in the footsteps of LEISURE, So Below is another New Zealand act who's sure to be another fast-riser in pop. Her fantastic, Nine Inch Nails-inspired debut, "Drift", is why she's worth banking a reputation on, and, though you could say her debut is bit rough around the edges, there's no denying how attractive, unique, and authentic her sound is. We've no doubts that she has more fantastic music to come. - written by Chad Hillard. Georgia Campbell [track id="00950485" artist="Georgia Campbell" title="Outgrown"][track id="00950486" artist="Georgia Campbell" title="Insane"] One of the very best artists to rise from the depths of SoundCloud this month was the incredibly talented Georgia Campbell. In her first two tracks, "Outgrown" and "Insane", she presents seamless vocals atop masterfully produced, electronically based instrumental foundations, and, as a result of her wonderful efforts, she's been able to build quite a buzz about herself already. We're betting that Georgia's next move is going to be a big one, too, so be sure to keep an ear out for more from her. - written by Cole Ryan. JOY. [track id="00950526" artist="JOY." title="About Us"][track id="00950724" artist="JOY." title="Falling"] We've written about JOY. extensively before, and, among the artists on this list, she probably has the most dense discography out, but, just recently, we really became aware of the star that she's become. Within the past week, the burgeoning Australian artist released her second, ODE EP, and, quite frankly, we were blown away by it. The bold indie-electronic sound she put into the work was extremely beautifully done (and crafted by herself), and, of course, her vocals dazzled on the tracks as they have on all that've come before. With some stuff in place with labels now, she'll hopefully have the resources to reach all the ears that her work deserves to get out to, and we definitely hope that more incredible material from her surfaces soon enough. B.Miles [track id="00950668" artist="B.Miles" title="Salt"][track id="00949188" artist="B.Miles" title="Nine Matches (prod. by Noise Club)"] Just three tracks into her career, B.Miles is already showing exactly the type of promise that we look for in new pop artists. Her voice has a certain edge to it that's capable of standing out in an electronically produced environment as shown in debut "Nine Matches", and it works well in a more guitar-fueled one, too, as heard in most recent release "Salt". The Los Angeles artist's debut EP, twenty fifteen, should see its release fairly soon, so you're going to want to make sure you get familiar with her work before that's out. - written by Cole Ryan.
