Dazed Magazine | 2024 is officially over. We’ve seen Brat summer somehow swallow three quarters of the year. We’ve been ambushed by not one, but two surprise drops from undisputed rap heavyweight Kendrick Lamar. We’ve even seen pop star Katy Perry go from “Firework” to fired. But what does 2025 have in store for us?
Below, we highlight ten artists poised to hit the spotlight in 2025. From anonymous dance production trio H.LLS, to the heavenly pipes of budding singer-songwriter Sienna Spiro, and the endlessly indescribable Rian Brazil, each brings us up to speed on their unique journeys up until now, and where it’s headed this year.
H.LLS
There’s a lot of question marks around anonymous production trio H.LLS. What does the name mean? What’s with all the red squares? What is certain, however, is their great taste in music. With choice features from Tay Iwar, ultravividpink and Col3trane, and their production a resoundingly London mix of electronic and alt-RnB, their debut project TAPE 1 was a surprise highlight of 2024. Plus, with a title like that, you can bet there’s more where it came from in 2025.
How it started: “H.LLS originated from the understanding that we make our best music together and can do so without ego or self doubt. This allowed us to be free in our creation, no rules, no boundaries. Anonymity was a natural extension, remove the charade, allow the music to breathe. We’ve all felt that a shift is coming, we had to embrace it ourselves for H.LLS to be the start.”
How it’s going: “We never thought further than creating. Something that started as a collaborative experiment, in the pursuit of quality, is evolving into an entity that people are growing to appreciate. It’s beautiful to see our ideas resonating.”
Where it’s headed: “Wherever it takes us. H.LLS is a venture that demands innovation. More projects, more collaborations, more experiments, live shows, everything. A change is far overdue, H.LLS is here to facilitate that.”
