Big In 2016 (Female)

A couple of weeks ago we posted our blog about the male artists we thought would do well in 2016. Now it's time for the female artists:

1. Missy Elliott

Known as the 'Queen of HipHop and Rap', Missy Elliott has made a return to the spotlight after a few years away.
It was only when Pharrell Williams announced that he was working on new music with her and the announcement of their single 'WTF (Where They From)' that the who world started getting excited. She has since announced the release of her next single 'Pep Rally' which was announced on the day of America's biggest sports event, Super Bowl.

Fans are now hoping for a new album which has been a long time coming as her last studio album 'The Cookbook' was released in 2005 and we are sure Missy will be featuring all over other artists tracks this year!

All we can say is:

WELCOME BACK MISSY ELLIOTT!

2. Fleur East

What a year 2015 was for Fleur East. She released her debut single 'Sax', Her debut album 'Love, Sax and Flashbacks' and has performed to millions of people all around the world.
Fleur's single 'Sax' has not only entered charts around the world but has also been used in TV adverts such as Asda (UK) and on the I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Australia  advert.
Not only that, it was also announced that Miss East is working on her first fashion collection with Lipsy London.
She also returned to The X Factor UK stage to perform with Little Mix a mashup of 'Sax' and 'Black Magic'.

2016 has already started off well for Fleur with a performance of her new single 'More and More' on the National Television Awards, flying out to LA to film the music video and also enjoying continued success of 'Sax' being played on radio stations worldwide, what more could this talented singer need?

Fans are now waiting for a tour to be announced and to find out what Fleur will do next.

3. Delta Goodrem

Whether you know the name Delta Goodrem because of her music, acting, being at the theatre or as a coach on The Voice Australia, you are going to know that she is a very talented lady.
She has recently finished performing in the stage production of Cats and supported Ricky Martin on his tour in Australia.
In 2015 she returned to the UK to promote her Australian Platinum selling single 'Wings', where she performed at G.A.Y London.

Delta is now working on her 5th studio album and we expect big things from the songwriting and singing sensation who shot to worldwide fame singing her single 'Born To Try' on Australian soap Neighbours.

4. Vanessa White

Vanessa is 1/5 of The Saturdays and after the news of the ladies taking a break to focus on solo projects, it is Vanessa who is the first to release solo music first!
The first single to be revealed was 'Relationship Goals' and with the help of Aaron Renfree (former S Club Junior's member and The Saturdays backing dancer), an amazing and creative video was made!

Vanessa followed up 'Relationship Goals' with two more songs 'Don't Want To Be Your Lover' and 'Nostalgia'. All three songs as well as her song 'Lipstick Kisses' featuring Wretch 32 feature on her debut EP 'Chapter One' which was released on the 19th February 2016.

Vanessa has now announced that her first live gig will be on Wednesday 16th March 2016 at Cargo London.

5. Karen Harding

With her song 'Say Something', Karen Harding had one of the biggest summer tracks of 2015 and to help promote the track, Karen has performed on many TV shows and at many festivals including Birmingham's Fusion Festival.
In 2015 Karen also featured on other artist's tracks and has had some great chart positions to add to her music cv.

2016 has seen the release of her next single 'Open My Eyes' and we are very excited for a full album to be released and hopefully more amazing live performances!

6. Louisa Johnson

She is the winner of The X Factor UK 2015 and she blew everyone in the audience away with her stunning soulful vocals.
She has been touring the UK with The X Factor Tour and her debut single 'Forever Young' entered the UK at number 9.

This lady can sing anything thrown at her and we think there is going to be a lot of surprises when she releases her album later this year.

Zayn Malik

Ever since Zayn Malik announced he was going to be working on his solo music, the question in everyone's mind was will he be successful or a flop. With his song 'Pillow Talk', Zayn has shown that he has what it takes to be successful as a solo artist.
The song entered number 1 in the UK, Australia and the US and the video has had over 83 million views on Youtube. The song is also more successful than any song he released with One Direction.

It has been announced that Zayn's first performance of 'Pillow Talk will be on the 17th February on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon which is expected to be viewed by millions of fans around the world.
The appearance will also be used to remind fans that his album will be released on the 25th March which is exactly one year after Zayn told everyone that he is leaving One Direction.

We the hype around the world right now focusing on Zayn Malik, we think 2016 will be a very good year for him.
