This new singer looks like Harry Styles and what he has to say is SO important


We just got back from the first big music festival of 2017 and we couldn’t wait one more minute to tell you about the most exciting new artists we discovered. The Great Escape in Brighton is the place to see the next music superstars first, and over the years people like Adele and Iggy Azalea have played there before they made it big. Here’s who we’re 100% certain will be following in their footsteps


Yungblud

He’s 19, he reminds us of Harry Styles, and his lyrics say everything we wish we could say about the state of Britain today. Yungblud’s debut single “King Charles” is all about giving young people a voice and changing the world for the better.

Strandels

The new brother-sister duo from the team behind FO&O and Zara Larsson played their first UK gig EVER at The Great Escape and we were there to witness it. Tova and Sixten have perfect sibling harmonies and a sweet country sound that OG Swifties will love.

Raye

You might not think you know Raye, but you do. She’s the girl who sings “You Don’t Know Me” with Jax Jones and “By Your Side” with Jonas Blue. Now Raye is about to become a huge star in her own right and we’re obsessed with her new single “The Line.”
