The new wave of: 2011/2013
The resume for him is too long and too impressive to get into, you know some of the people he's worked with! But Blood Orange (a.k.a. Devonté Hynes) is much more than a songwriter for others. Dev Hynes has gotten a lot of attention after releasing "Cupid Deluxe" but overall his music reels in influences from different genres and ‘80’s music with Prince being the most obvious inspiration. He's bringing that back into the scene without following the try hard trends.

Banks is definitely a new girl that everyone wanted to claimed of making music interesting in 2013 for [insert] genre. She released a little EP last year and London only left us wanting more. From each release since then Banks has been putting out growers and bangers and her debut album is highly anticipated. Watch out because Banks is bringing dark Pop/R&B to the forefront.
