Looking for amazing new artists to listen to is always a blast, and 2018 gave us dozens of super-talented young musicians who are still paving their way to stardom. Take a look at five breakout artists we couldn’t stop listening to in the past twelve months.

Jorja Smith

The young British singer dropped her debut album Lost & Found this summer… and let’s just say we were happy to find her.

Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish dropped some of her biggest hits long before this year, but most people discovered them in 2018 after she attracted a wider audience with her Khalid collaboration “Lonely.”

Alec Benjamin

This Phoenix-based artist has been trying to get his big break since 2014, but he really made a splash this year after releasing several amazing tunes, including “The Boy in the Bubble” and “If We Have Each Other.”

Sigrid

The Norwegian singer proved bright future is ahead of her all the way back in 2017, but really cemented her status as one of the biggest rising stars in the world this year.

Normani

Fifth Harmony member Normani proved she could easily go solo at any time by dropping a couple hit songs on her own.
