Spotify’s flagship country playlist Hot Country has posted its first Hot Country Artists to Watch list. The 10 include Warner Nashville’s Ian Munsick, Sony Nashville’s Kameron Marlowe and This Is Hit/Broken Bow’s Lainey Wilson.

“Launching our first-ever Artists to Watch list allows us to celebrate a diverse slate of young artists who will undoubtedly change the face of country music in 2021,” said John Marks, Spotify’s Head of Country.

Here’s the list.

Roman Alexander. A young troubadour with two decades of performing under his belt.

Priscilla Block. Mixing a blend of country pop and Southern rock, she's one of 2020’s breakout country artists.

Kidd G. His gritty, melodic sound and down-home style are equally inspired by classic country and hip-hop.

Kameron Marlowe. A new voice in country with an unvarnished, rock-infused sound.

Ian Munsick. A pioneer of a new brand of western pop-laced country.

Nate Smith. His heartfelt country songs and honest performance style are informed by hardship.
