Artists to Watch in 2021

There’s a Spotify playlist, Artists To Watch 2021 by Sounds like Nashville, that boasts a wealth of up and coming artists that are building momentum going into the new year. The list of forty-nine artists plays through in just under three hours and features artists with songs that share a familiar Nashville sound. The following three songs are our favorite picks and what we think about them.

Kylie Morgan – “Break Things” 2:52

From Newcastle, OK, Kylie has been writing songs since she was twelve years old. Her single “Break Things” was released April 2020 and is one-part cautionary tale, one-part love song, and one-part personal anthem. It’s an upbeat song that exemplifies how we’ve all felt about our personal relationships at some point in our lives.
 
Kameron Marlowe – “Sober as a Drunk” 3:30
Written By
J.T. Harding, Justin Wilson, Marv Green
Produced by Brad Hill

North Carolina native Kameron Marlowe used his life experiences to boost his music. “I had things I wanted to say,” said Marlowe, and through weeks of writing and soul searching, he used his pain to create something amazing. Once featured on the hit tv-show “The Voice” Marlowe used the experience to boost his musical career and began committing himself to his craft. The oxymoron featured in his song “Sober as a Drunk” shows the dichotomy of emotions experienced during a breakup. It’s a feeling that we can all relate to.
 
Ian Munsick – “Me Against the Mountain” 3:20
Written By
Randy Montana, Ian Munsick, Jeremy Spillman

Born in Wyoming, the Rocky Mountain musician offers a mix of traditional bluegrass and modern musical stylings through his songs. “Me Against the Mountain” automatically captivates with the simple strums of a banjo but the magic continues as he continues his story with deep visual cues.
