Every quarter, mtvU identifies 5 artists that are primed to jump from campus favorites to household names. That said, this summer our ears belong to Azealia Banks, Emeli Sande, Grimes, Joey Bada$$ and Oberhofer. Scope them all out below and tell us your favorite.
The Memorial Day holiday brought us an extended version of The Freshmen this round but the additional time did not help any of the bands overtake He Met Her who handily took the W this week. Their video for ‘Control’ will be added into rotation next week. Up next on The Freshmen will be our seasonal Freshmen 5 list, aka the 5 bands we feel will soundtrack your summer. Stay tuned and props again to He Met Her for their convincing victory.
Feel free to stalk us on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr for all our updates.
