In this new digital age, where music is consumed differently, many people often say that creating pop stars is no longer possible. Many music fans fear that the age of the superstar is gone and that everything falls flat these days, but some pop stars have emerged that could put these fears to bed. New music is popping out, and new pop stars have landed on the scene, which disputes these claims. With stars like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and more breaking out, it’s hard to claim that pop is dying. So, let’s take a look at the up-and-coming pop stars to look out for in 2024.
Ex-Pop Group Girl’s Going Single
In bittersweet news, this year, many pop groups have been breaking up. The good news is that they’re all going solo, bringing forth a fresh wave of pop stars with a pre-existing audience. Another positive thing that comes with this is that most of the stars going solo are often trying to distance themselves from their claim to fame. That means creating a new sound or blending various sounds to create something unique.
An example of this is Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink. Since going solo, Lisa has been making a noise in US pop circles and K-pop spaces. Another pop star to mention is the talented Perri Edwards from the English girl group Little Mix. The star, known for her powerful vocals, has released a new song. Her latest single, ‘You Go Your Way,’ already has elements of rock and punk, and she’s giving choreography.
From Indie To Icon
Some artists are lucky in the sense that fame comes to them instantly, though often referred to as Industry Plants. Artists like Tyla were called a plant after her smash single ‘Water’ blew up on social media. Cardi B got the same accusations after a very successful album and music run. But some artists have been in the industry for years and are only just getting their big break. Sabrina Carpenter is one such artist.
Some of her fans know her from the Disney sitcom, ‘Girl Meets World’, while newer fans have just discovered her. She began circling in the mainstream scene with her single, ‘Nonsense,’ but it wouldn’t be until she released Espresso that things drastically changed for her. The song peaked at number 3 on the Hot 100, and things only got better for her when she released ‘Please Please Please,’ which landed at number 1 on the Hot 100.
Reintroducing A Fresh Sound
Lately, in the mainstream pop scene, pop music has shifted from the traditional bubblegum, fun, light-hearted sound to something darker and depressing. This shaft came after New Zealand alternative/pop artist Lorde released her debut album, shifting the sound of pop music and introducing new singers that came with the same design. But that seems to be changing with the rise of Chappell Roan. Chappell is a fresh face who aims at making pop art again. Besides her eye-catching costumes, the singer stands out from her peers because of her unique sound. Roan seems to be straying away from cursive singing and mixes modern traditional pop with rock elements.
In Conclusion
Pop seems to be in excellent hands because it no longer feels like a monopoly. The major pop stars come from all kinds of backgrounds, races, and ethnicities, as well as countries. And with that, they bring traces of their culture and make fresh, unique music. Pop is thriving, and I’m positive we’ll only see these girls thrive because of the various paths they’re carving for themselves. With social media, new-age pop stars can directly become connected with their audience and critics, which leaves them with ample room to grow and improve.
