BETTY WHO
The Australian singer-songwriter, real name Jessica
Newham, honed her chops at the Berklee College of
Music and she learned her lessons well, as her foursong 2013 EP, The Movement, is a bright bubble of
synth pop bliss.

LIZZO
Toward the end of 2013, a year when hip-hop was dominated by high-profile releases from Kanye West, Drake,
and A$AP Rocky, a Minneapolis rapper named Lizzo put
out an unabashed party album. LIZZOBANGERS was

her debut, and inexplicably flew under the radar,

but it was jammed with big beats and an even
bigger presence from its creator. Raised in both
Detroit and Houston, Lizzo claims an array of influences, from gospel to Southern soul to 90s R&B
girl groups.
