Flowerovlove
At 18, London star Flowerovlove is already proving a dab hand at creating indie-tinged bedroom pop, anchored by hooks that are set to see her become one of 2024's hottest talents. Recent single 'a girl like me' bounds along with an airy groove, and we can expect more of the same. "My upcoming music is going to be unhinged," she tells us. "I just know I'm really good at writing and unhinged in the sense of bringing fun to my music." We can't wait to hear more of it.
Seb Lowe
If you ever find yourself at one of Seb Lowe's gigs, you'll notice five names adorning the body of the 20-year-old troubadour's guitar: Sinead O'Connor, Led Zeppelin, Eminem, Arctic Monkeys and David Bowie. They're undoubtedly an eclectic bunch, but testament to the variety in the Oldham singer's work. He can deliver punchy state-of-the-nation polemics, but he's equally comfortable creating choruses that could slay arenas - as shown on recent offering, 'Billionaire Extraordinaire'. In 2024, you wouldn't bet against Seb eventually ending up in similar-sized rooms as his heroes.
Say Now
Until last summer, the group now known as Say Now didn't even have a proper name to call their own. "needanamebro" was the title instead attached to teenagers Yssy, Amelia and Maddie as they developed an online hot streak that saw them secure nearly 250,000 followers and in excess of 11 million likes on TikTok.
The lack of name is testament to two things in this group. For one, it shows the sense of humour and powerful defiance that comes across in the group's music. "Stress is now gone, life is easier/ It's our last song, now I'm leavin," they sing on the catchy 'S.I.N.G.L.E'.
