7 Acts Hitting 2016 with Serious Momentum
It's not easy being big. The culturesphere's frenzied churn can bury the most talented artists and brilliant albums with astonishing quickness, and the flip of the calendar from one year to the next holds a special type of control-alt-delete power. But sometimes a streak is so hot it can't be cooled by book-closing best-of lists and holiday breaks characterized by radio silence. While some artists and bands burned bright in 2015 only to dim by Dec. 31, these seven are entering 2016 at full speed.
