It’s easy to fall in love with the most recent Rihanna or Taylor Swift song you hear every morning on your drive to class or blasting at parties on Friday nights, but there are new artists making their way into the scene all the time. They are tougher to find, but so exciting once you discover that cool new song or amazing voice. Lucky you, I did the hard work and found some of the up and coming artists you will want to hear! The best part is, when everyone else also falls in love with their music, you heard it first!
James Bay
With a unique look and a voice to die for, James Bay is a talent to watch out for.

She is mostly knows for her single OctaHate, but luckily there is much more where that came from, as she is about deliver her debut album The Fool this June. In the meantime you can take peek at a few songs that will be on her album including Sail On and Promises! Once the full album drops, Ryn will be performing at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA this July.
