When it comes to rating artists on lists, most people suggest that it's a waste of time (seeing how most lists are subjective when comparing different pieces of art (songs), and that it's somewhat unfair and misguided. While we understand that point of view, sometimes we have to simply null that thought process, because when it comes to the music of Norwegian newcomer, Emilie Nicolas, there's no way she's not going to top your list of up-and-comers that are slated for imminent mainstream success. This is best personified on her cover of Dum Dum Boys' "Pstereo", which can easily be categorized into pop-royalty territories. Her regular verse timbre has a slight edge to it, giving it uniqueness, but where Emilie really takes off is during the chorus where she steals the show with her flawless falsetto that is completely compelling. Emilie Nicolas is signed to Sony Music, so expect big things from her moving forward.
