Alessi Rose
With a Spotify bio that declares “if people don’t want me to write songs about them they shouldn’t do bad things,” Alessi Rose is as cheeky as she is candid. While confessional anthems seem to be the norm in today’s pop landscape, it’s her penchant for songwriting that makes her stand out. Turning her innermost thoughts into vulnerable, witty, and effortlessly relatable pop melodies, she’s become the voice of the “delulu girls” — the self-proclaimed name of her ever-growing fanbase. With a tour with Dua Lipa under her belt and a new EP out next week, Alessi is one you’ll definitely want to keep your eye on.
Charlotte Lawrence
Charlotte Lawrence transforms her most vulnerable moments into cinematic pop anthems. On her long-awaited debut album Somewhere, she turns heartbreak, confusion, and late-night spiral thoughts into glittering alt-pop — blending soft-spoken sadness with bold, crashing choruses. Diving into everything from being the villain, missing someone you shouldn’t, or chasing emotional chaos, there’s an honesty that cuts through. Add in a summer tour and a growing fanbase hanging on her every word, and it’s clear: Charlotte’s having her moment.
Chloe Qisha
Chloe Qisha makes pop music for the chronically online, emotionally self-aware, and painfully self-deprecating. With a flair for deadpan lyrics and disco-inspired beats, her music is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who likes to pretend they’re living inside a ‘90s rom-com — think Talking Heads meets Gen Z oversharing. Whether she’s unpacking romantic delusions or dropping hyper-specific pop culture references, Chloe is all about not taking yourself too seriously and just having fun. She’s doing pop on her own terms — and we’re all better for it.
flowerovlove
flowerovlove is what happens when bedroom pop gets a high-fashion makeover — playful, poetic, and effortlessly cool. At just 20, she’s been releasing dreamy bubblegum tracks since her mid-teens, channeling everything from crushes to growing pains into music that’s equal parts sweet and sharp. With U.S. headline shows and festival slots like Glastonbury and Lollapalooza on the horizon, this mini-skirt warrior isn’t just blooming — she’s radiating. Flower-powered pop has never felt this fun.
Ha Vay
Inspired by the likes of Stevie Nicks and Lana Del Rey, Ha Vay weaves together dark folk-rock, literary references, and poetic confessions into something both timeless and otherworldly. In just two years, she’s built a devoted following as an unsigned artist, drawing fans in with cinematic imagery, self-aware storytelling, and a touch of campy humor. Dreamy, haunting, and just a little bit wild, Ha Vay is building a world all her own — and we’re already under her spell.
Lola Young
If there’s one artist on this list you may already know, we’re pretty sure it’s Lola Young. Her track “Messy” has been dominating the charts and TikTok algorithms everywhere for months now. Reminiscent of fellow British pop icons Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, Lola’s songs are raw, vulnerable, and unapologetic — often delivered with a sharp lyrical bite and her signature smoky, soul-soaked voice. She’s not afraid to get ugly with the truth, and that honesty is exactly what makes her one of the most compelling new voices in pop right now.
Mercer Henderson
If you were to Google the term “heartbreak anthems,” we’re pretty sure Mercer Henderson’s face would be the thumbnail. Channeling Lizzy McAlpine’s lyrical intimacy with the pop-savvy hooks of Sabrina Carpenter, she’s a master at turning vulnerability into sing‑along catharsis. Her emotional honesty makes every track feel like it was written just for you — tender, relatable, and a little bit cheeky. Love hurts, but with Mercer Henderson soundtracking it, it kind of feels fun.
Peach PRC
Peach PRC makes music that’s sugar, spice, and absolutely unfiltered. Her confessional, campy approach blends tongue‑in‑cheek humor with maximalist beats for a sound she calls “sickly sweet” bubblegum pop. Equal parts emotionally raw and pink‑powered, she offers solace in silly confessions and strength in sparkle. With a chart-topping debut EP, viral hits like “Josh” and “God Is a Freak,” and sold-out shows across the globe, Peach isn’t just living in her dream world — she built it herself.
Sienna Spiro
Sienna Spiro has the kind of voice that stops you in your tracks — soulful, aching, and wise beyond her years. Part vintage, part Gen Z, she’s fully in her feelings, navigating heartbreak with raw lyricism and cinematic depth. Weaving jazz, soul, and R&B in a way that feels both timeless and uniquely her own, she’s turning heads everywhere, even earning a stamp of approval from SZA. Her songs feel like scenes from a black-and-white film, and we’re lucky to be in the front row.
Tei Shi
Blending elements of R&B, pop, and indie with a dreamy, experimental edge, Tei Shi crafts music that feels like a dream you can’t quite shake. Born in Buenos Aires, raised between Bogotá and Vancouver, and now based in New York, her multicultural upbringing infuses her sound with a rich tapestry of influences. Constantly evolving, Tei Shi’s music invites listeners into her unique world, where genre boundaries blur and feeling takes center stage.
