It’s that time of the year when the Music Industry tries its hand at reading the future and guessing who will be the acts dominating the charts in the next 12 months. Here at Metropolis we get a buzz from working with new acts and here are just a select few who could make 2015 their own.

Years & Years – Polydor

Key Track: Desire
Rae Morris – Atlantic Records
Already compared to Kate Bush, this 22 year old songstress’ distinct voice makes her definitely one to watch. Her first full length album is released on the 26th of January and listening to her should be one of your New Years resolutions.

Public Access TV – Polydor
These painfully hip New Yorkers were signed after playing just one gig. Listening to their debut EP “Rebounder” it’s easy to see why. Their effortless melodies nod to various CBGB era acts like The Talking Heads and Blondie and their debut album is expected sometime in 2015.
