Who to listen to next

Start from an artist you already love and leave with eight you will. Our picks, never the obvious ones.

Artists like Frank OceanFor the Blonde-on-repeat crowd: songs that feel private, a little unfinished and very late at night. None of them are the names Spotify already pushes at you.
Artists like girl in redFor the crowd that screams every word of we fell in love in october: raw, bedroom-made songs about crushes, chaos and feeling everything at once.
Artists like Kanye WestFor the College Dropout to Yeezus fans: soul samples, big swings and rappers who build whole worlds around a beat.
Artists like Kendrick LamarFor the To Pimp a Butterfly and DAMN. crowd: rappers who write like novelists and treat every verse like it matters.
Artists like RadioheadFor the In Rainbows and OK Computer heads: bands that make sadness sound beautiful, from the 90s and from right now.
Artists like SadeFor anyone who grew up on Sade's slow, glowing love songs: modern soul that takes its time and never raises its voice.
Artists like Tame ImpalaFor the Currents and Lonerism crowd: psych grooves, phaser-drenched guitars and records that make a room feel bigger than it is.
Artists like The StrokesFor the Is This It loyalists: wiry guitars, cool detachment and bands that make three chords sound like the best night of your life.
Artists like Travis ScottFor fans who come for the rage, the reverb and the beat switches: where that sound came from, where it is going next, and one from home.
Artists like TV GirlFor anyone whose most played is Lovers Rock: sample-heavy, sun-bleached indie pop that sounds sweet and says something sad.
Artists like Tyler, the CreatorFor the IGOR and Flower Boy crowd: colourful, genre-blind artists who sing, rap and produce like they are building their own world.
