8. Dominic Fike

Dominic Fike might be fairly well known but is still underrated in our opinion. He has a unique voice and a sound that is all over the place. What we mean by that is that he’s versatile and has shown that time and time again throughout his projects. He has some songs that give a beachy vibe, some that give a grunge vibe, some that sound indie pop, and some that could be on the verge of rap. Either way, they’re all amazing.

9. Abigail Barlow

We have a feeling Abigail Barlow will be the next big pop star. She got a lot of recognition for her hit single “Heartbreak Hotel” that hit iTunes top ten on the charts and then followed up with another hit “Afterparty”. Her sound is fresh but still stays true to the pop genre. Her lyrics tell a story and are totally relatable. She’s also just relatable in general, and you can follow along on her music journey on TikTok where she shows how she writes and creates her songs. It feels like you’re her bestie and you’re along for the ride. If you need some girl power or a new pop artist to stan check out Abigail Barlow.
