FRANCISCA VALENZUELA – Chile
With a career spanning 20 years, six acclaimed albums and countless awards, Francisca Valenzuela is undoubtedly one of the most prominent contemporary pop artists in Chile, and in all Latin America. A key cultural leader, she also created Ruidosa, a platform and festival dedicated to Latin-American women artists
In 2023, she released her sixth album, Adentro, which was an international success, critically acclaimed for its compositions, and nominated three times for Latin Grammy Awards. This was followed by a flurry of sophisticated pop gems that only she knows how to create, such as “Raíces” and “Rompecorazones”.
For the past months, Francisca Valenzuela has been working on her next album, which was already announced as one of the most anticipated albums of 2025 by Rolling Stones magazine. And considering how good her latest song “Tira y Afloja (Afuera)” is, we have every reason to be very excited.
TSAR B – Belgium
Since the release of her eponymous debut EP in 2016, Belgian multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer Tsar B has constantly surprised listeners with her ability to blur the boundaries between influences and musical genres.
While her early songs were described as “dark R&B” by Billboard, her music goes far beyond that. Through four EPs and three independently released albums, Tsar B has taken her audience on an experimental musical journey where ethereal pop, electronic synths, tech beats, and classical music collide. Tsar B is also a film composer, she even directed, composed and played the violin in Les Dîners de Gala a film concert inspired by Salvador Dali’s book.
Released at the end of January, her 3rd album, The Writer, is a captivating record, where neo-classical and opera blend with electro-pop and in which Tsar B talks about love, despair, and passion. An album not to be missed.
LOU RIDLEY – United States
On Instagram, Lou Ridley describes herself as a “disobedient country singer,” and this adjective could apply to her as well as her music genre.
Listening to her latest single, the highly political “Daughter’s Plea,” it becomes clear that Lou Ridley’s music is more in line with the tradition of protest country than with the usual norms of the genre. Having grown up in Texas, she knows the rules of country music, how to play with them and, above all, how to break them.
No wonder, then, that many of her songs are influenced by other genres she loves. Tracks such as “Bless You Heart” or “Attention of Any Kind”, reflect her love of soul music. Others are more pop-oriented, like “Hoedown” with Haela or her cover of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP.”. If you want to hear another side of country, Lou Ridley is your girl.
CRISTALE – United Kingdom
One could simply say that Cristale is a rapper, but “storyteller who spits bars” is a fairer description, as the young South Londoner artist has made a name for herself over the years with her realistic lyrics and dynamic flow acquired through years of freestyling battles.
Although several of her hits, like her 2nd single “Whites”, “Sing Dat” or “Roadents” (heard in the Netflix series Top Boy), fall into the UK Drill genre, it would be too simplistic to call Cristale a drill rapper. Tracks such as the mellow “Will You Ever”, her remix of rock band Kasabian or her latest Drum’n’Bass banger “Dance”, featuring 163Margs and Bou, show that she thrives in all genres.
In 2025, the British Independent Music Association nominated Cristale in the ‘One To Watch’ category. As her new mixtape is about to drop, we’re confident that many more nominations will come.
SIMONE DINNERSTEIN – United States
In 2007, Simone Dinnerstein released a recording of Bach‘s Goldberg Variations that sent shockwaves through the baroque music world. Her first solo album reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Classical Music chart and received rave reviews from the US press.
Her career then took on an international dimension that led her to perform on the most prestigious stages and with the world’s greatest orchestras. All 16 albums she released through her career appeared on the Billboard charts.
A leading specialist in Bach, her repertoire also includes Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and contemporary composers such as Philip Lasser, Philip Glass, and Richard Danielpour, with whom she shared a Grammy nomination for her interpretation of his piece An American Mosaic.
Released in 2025, Complicité is Simone Dinnerstein’s latest album and her first recording with the string ensemble Baroklyn. However, we can hope for new releases soon following her signing with naïve.
LAURA ITANDEHUI – Mexico
Some stories shape careers. If the young Mexican singer-songwriter Laura Itandehui hadn’t gone to the El Cantinazo open mic night one evening in 2018, would its organizer, Venezuelan musician Augusto Braucho, have asked her to come and perform there?
At the time, Laura Itandehui was already an accomplished artist, a violinist since childhood and a graduate in jazz music from the Escuela Superior de Música. But she didn’t have enough songs for the concert. So, she wrote them in a few weeks. They would make up her first album, released in 2021, a gem of intimate songwriting with folk and bolero influences.
Her second album, Si Me Ven Alegre (2024), is a joyful and uplifting record, exploring guaguancó, salsa, cumbia and Colombian paseo vallenato, inspired by the composer’s travels. Released in February, the bolero “La Apuesta” is her latest single—a gem you won’t be able to stop humming.
