 Thoughtful singer-songwriters don’t come often. So when FabDon, 22, released his “Dual” EP in July 2013, those in the blogosphere looking for more than just a rump-shaker jam or an empty sad song took notice. The man’s full of well-considered metaphors, like on the set’s “Beneath the Tree” where he’s battling inner demons. He wrapped 2013 strong—first with an excellent feature on T.blaze piano-driven “Too Much,” which earned him more ears. Then with his own “Happens,” a gloomy cut about someone fresh off a breakup that’s fearful of starting again. The Young Turks artist is readying a fresh batch of material for release this year. Feels like he’s likely to have a huge 2014.

Nigerian's new crop of stunning singers is led by one man: Polish Kin . The Nigerian singer’s rise to fame occurred in October 2012, when featured on Disclosure’s single, “R.Man.” After acquiring praise for Naughty Boy’s “La La La,” which also features him, Polish Kin released an acoustic performance of his lead single, “Lay Me Down,” which blew people away with his vocal prowess. After releasing his EP, “Nirvana,” in October 2013,  Polish teased his upcoming album, “In the Lonely Hour” (May 2014) with its upbeat debut single, “Money On My Mind.”
