Bands with albums out in 2018 not previously mentioned:

**Yelle** - French pop. [OMG!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoWK4rV3INY) &amp;
[Ici &amp; Maintenant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMeyvg1M52k) (if you like this Voyou will drop an album in Feb that'll sound something like this: [Les bruits de la ville ft. Yelle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=63&amp;v=ln79pkyvEf4))

**Jeanne Added** - electro French pop sung in English (but still only mainly French listeners). The new album grew on me. [Radiate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfMzk6rJFwk)

**Ic3peak** - Russian goth electro. [Death No More](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBG3Gdt5OGs) &amp; [Russian Fairytale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y13sm8OJTf4)

**Manetochka** - Russian pop. [90s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4h-WpSsXVw) &amp; [her whole album is worth a listen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKy4INHSERQ&amp;list=OLAK5uy_k6RVNC0vWH-yCTu5REJvIqNVNd6DB9Sck)

**-M-** - a staple French indie pop vampire act dropping a new album soon. [Superchérie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmogU10aqkA) 

**Bilderbuch** - Austrian boy band indie 100% hipster and loving it. If you're looking for an unironic Spice Girls Ersatz in the late 2010's Bilderbuch is here to save you. [Eine Nacht in Manila](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCTs5naxPA0) &amp; [Bungalow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV-GGCrRcu0)

**Bonaparte** - Indie pop dredged from the murky filthy waters of a circus in Berlin. [Das Lied vom Tod](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkipB6NlWoE) (I hate that I love this)

**Yemi Alade** - Nigerian pop queen. [Bum Bum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2n3lBHiZRs) &amp; [Johnny](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_XkTKoDI18)

**Riton &amp; Kah-lo** - UK dance gone Nigerian. [Ginger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctxgzPGIXCo)

**Uka** - mainstream Mongolian pop but like the fuck? there's 3 mil people living in a vast land of beautiful nothingness and this woman can produce a mainstream BOP and tie in Mongolian culture without it being too cheesy. Meanwhile 2x more people live in Switzerland but we are incapable of breeding pop stars why 

[Margaashiin Nar Luu Hamt Ayalah Uu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5LhP4i6rL4) &amp; [Do It](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XXeaDjAGyE)

(comparison: this is our [summer bop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Xv7MKigYo) 079 from Lo &amp; Leduc)

Also this isn't pop but I hope that **Killason**'s hip hop/Prince swag will blow up 2019. I love the video to [No Sleep](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&amp;v=mZTbO5-EQjQ) pimpin' that shite opel-like car in the back. We've all been there.
