NEW & DEVELOPING, AS TOLD BY THE OLD & FESTERING

Spring has sprung, and since the time of new beginnings is upon us, you might as well start figuring out what's fresh in the music world. Our New & Developing Artists Special Issue streets today. We insist you feast your peepers on that. As you can see below, the cover of said mag is dominated by Republic up-and-comers this time around; they are (L-R) Post Malone, Julia Michaels, Aminé and duo Marian Hill.

If you're a cheap bastard (we know you are), fret not; the whole shebang will be found on the B-Side later this week. In the meantime, there are a few other gems you can check out while you wait.

Emma Dewing—an enticing, unsigned pop songstress—is being praised by tastemakers and critics alike for her recently released track, "Buttons."

And the alt/rockers of Black Honey premiered a banger, entitled "Somebody Better," on Friday.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. ...or at least put something a little leafier in there and smoke it, while you listen to the aforementioned.
