Best New Artists of the Month

(October 2015)

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. berhana [track id="00951277" artist="berhana" title="Janet"] We only just found out about berhana, a newcomer from the United States, this past Saturday, and, already, we're pegging him to become the next big deal. His first-ever track, "Janet", is all you need to hear to realize this, as his sound presented on it is one that's instantly, instantly appealing. Whether you call it pop, rap, soul, or whatever, there's no question that "Janet" is set to spread like wildfire. Michl [track id="00951220" artist="Michl" title="Kill Our Way To Heaven"] When your first track can draw comparisons to an all-star list of incredible acts (The Neighbourhood, Sir Sly, Fyfe), while, at the same time, come off as something completely unique, there's excitement to be had. With "Kill Our Way To Heaven", the first-ever track from Californian artist Michl, we've our sentiments above echoed and then some. His potential is obvious, and we can't wait to hear what more he has in store. Bibi Bourelly [track id="00951247" artist="Bibi Bourelly " title="Ego"] As you can clearly see above, Bibi Bourelly, a Berlin-born, United States-based artist, is already connected, but that's not why we're tipping her to become a big pop act. Sure, she's already signed to Def Jam, featured on some tracks with very big names, and has written for Rihanna, but the fact that she's carried over those achievements into an incredible first effort in "Ego" is a bit insane. It's only a matter of time until she follows the success of labelmate Alessia Cara, we'd say. dvsn [track id="00951203" artist="dvsn" title="With Me"] One of the most exciting, brand-new prospects in the world of R&B is dvsn, an enigmatic act with a massively appealing sound. The first time dvsn's work was brought into the world was on OVO radio, and, though the act hasn't given us any information about itself, its first two tracks, "With Me" and "The Line", say more than any background information ever could. We're on the edge of our seats in anticipation for forthcoming releases. - written by Cole Ryan Stupead [track id="00951115" artist="Stupead" title="Get It"] For electronic music fans, stumbling upon a new artist as gifted as Stupead is one of the most exciting things that can happen in a day. His most recent single, "Get It", has an upbeat, funk-infused sound that instantly separates him from the mass of SoundCloud producers, and we're really hoping to hear more of his captivating style in his future releases. He has the potential to carve out a fresh niche in electronic, and we all know we could use one of those. - written by Cole Ryan
