Music Recommendations Based on the Artists You Already Like

Seinabo Sey has a voice so powerful that it's almost tangible. You can almost feel it, literally. It's soulful, spiritual, and could easily carry time-tested soul ballads, but the 23-year-old Swedish singer is on something much more exciting with "Younger." If you're into big vocals like those of Alicia Keys, you'll like this, but it should grab the attention of a different audience as well. This is produced by Magnus Lidehäll, the man who also concocted the backdrop for Mapei's "Don't Wait," so there's an interesting electronically tinged twist that makes "Younger" feel like the present, not the past.

First of all, there's are a few differences between A$AP Rocky and Bara Blaque. Bara Blaque was born in London, raised in Nigeria, and he doesn't call himself a pretty motherfucker. He's more gritty and less of-the-moment, but if you like Rocky for his confident, stylish delivery and gripping pitched-down choruses, check out Bara Blaque's latest, "3rd Wold Hippy."

Looking for that slow burning style of music that will keep you company during a cold and lonely winter? Vancouver Sleep Clinic's got you. Sonically, it should please Bon Iver fans, but get this: Vancouver Sleep Clinic is Tim Bettinson from Brisbane Australia, and he's only 17 years old.

BEST NEW ARTISTS OF THE MONTH (NOVEMBER)

With music so catchy and sweet that it might make you feel guilty for liking it, Scavenger Hunt joins acts like CHVRCHES with debut single "Lost." The duo is Dan Mufson of Philly and Jill Lamoureux of Wichita, Kansas, and the two joined forces in California and formed Scavenger Hunt. If they keep making music as infectious as "Lost," you'll be hearing more about them soon enough.

Young British duo Bondax started bubbling up around the same time as Disclosure, and although their career may not have reached quite the same breakthrough, pop crossover heights, they've built themselves a large and dedicated following with their glittering house/bass music. Tourist is actually signed to Disclosure's label, and his music shares some of the same mainstream-appropriate signifiers as tracks from their debut album Settle, while also all maintaining that same golden sheen that defines Bondax.

If you're a Young Thug fan, you already know what to expect. Feral creativity and wild deliveries are things that Young Thug takes to the extreme, and fellow Atlanta rapper (Lil Silk is a rapper) brings that same kind of energy. These guys are already associated through Archive Entertainment, so maybe we'll hear Lil Silk and Young Thug join forces one day.

THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2013

The late, great Guru once said "it's mostly the voice," and if that's true, fans of Tyler, The Creator are going to love Irish MC Rejjie Snow. But the similarities go deeper than that. He loves trolling (he once convinced us that he was Captain Murphy) and while he's sometimes abrasive, he's always intelligent, thoughtful, and holds himself to a great level of artistic integrity with his music and videos (like "Lost in Empathy").

There is nothing dainty about the anthemic pop stylings of English group Ecstasy. They go for the neck with big choruses and sweeping synths. There's definitely an Icona Pop vibe going on, but there's a dash of M83 too, putting Ecstasy in a nice position to build some indie buzz before that one big song breaks.

How To Dress Well's music is all softly spoken beauty and delicate washes of melody, often underpinned by more forceful R&B influenced beats.  Southampton-based singer and producer Gang Colours released an album called Invisible In Your City recently, and across its ten track length, the record is marked by the same restraint and mastery of texture that has made so many people fall in love with How To Dress Well's music.

Do you ever think of music as animals? Same. Alt-J makes spidery music. It's twitchy, it moves in short bursts, and there's something about it that leaves you feeling slightly uncomfortable, even if you're fascinated by it. North Carolina band Decent Lovers also makes spidery music. It's a little more raw, less poppy and not as quirky, but it's certainly spidery in an Alt-J kind of way, so if that's your thing, let this be your new thing.

Chromatics' 2012 album Kill For Love looked to the past for inspiration, specifically to '80s synth-pop, while still crafting an album that was sleekly and darkly futuristic. It is far too early to tell if London duo Kaleida will ever reach that rarefied level of making an album that's pretty much perfect from start to finish, but the first two tracks we've heard from them, "Think" and "Tropea," are built from the same components as Chromatics' music, but with just a little bit more pop sheen.

It isn't "Green Light" John Legend we're talking about here, but slow, smooth, and soulful John Legend. St Louis singer Coultrain released an album called Jungle Mumbo Jumbo earlier this year, and "Asherah Le Chameleon” is a really timeless sounding song from it.

The first we heard from British trio Febueder was "Alligator," which reminded us most of Alt-J, but on subsequent song "Sloppiness Tank," the band ditched some of the vocal theatrics and whimsical experimentation and made a more slow-paced and serious song. The band's lead singer has a voice that is at times eerily similar to Foals' Yannis Philippakis, but more than that, it's the overall package,the interplay between vocals, guitar, and drums that strongly recalls the better songs on Foals' most recent album Holy Fire.

Swedish duo Max Elto may not be singing about love and relationships in the same subtly poetic way as The xx—in fact the lyrics of, "I found some animals in the backyard, they don't look so happy to me" seem kind of ridiculous taken out of context—but it's the combination of restrained guitars and propulsive electronic production that makes songs like "Backyard Animals" similar to material from The xx's Coexist. Max Elto only have a couple of songs on their Soundcloud, but with a recent signing to an Atlantic imprint Big Beat, their future is looking bright.
