Artist Showcase : Next Town Down

Hello and welcome to another post on this blog. It seems like forever since I've done an "Artist Showcase" post but today we are back and I may even go to say that today's artist are my favourite ever boyband. They are called Next Town Down and you honestly need to hear them...


Christopher Louis, Terrence Thomas, Tre'Von Waters, Malik Knighten & Leon Outlaw Jr all form the band "Next Town Down", a band which specialises in R&B covers as well as mashups formed by themselves. They may not have a load of YouTube subscribers but throughout there short time as a band, they have managed to perform in-front of artists such as Mariah Carey and Boys II Men; a great achievement for anyone, let alone a new and fresh boyband! I would like to say I am an 'OG' fan as I have been following them for a long time so I thought it was about time I shared them with you.

Although I had been following them prior to this, the video which made me absolutely fall in love with the band was their "Evolution Of Boybands" video. The video shows the boys covering pretty much every boyband from the 1960's onwards (including my personal favourites "The Temptations") and each song flows into the next so fluidly and perfectly. In addition to this, their voices are all unbelievable (especially Terrence who is my favourite in the band). The video has the same clever concept as Pentatonix's "Evolution Of Music" and it is something you need in your life so listen to it below because you certainly don't want to miss out!



Alongside all of the band's covers (all of which you need to check out), recently in May, Next Town Down released their debut single "Good Times" and I can easily say it is one of my favourite songs of this year so far! I'm not gonna lie, I was a little nervous when I heard the band were releasing their single as I would've been disappointed if it wasn't as good as their fabulous covers that are very hard to level with; luckily the song blew me away. The song is so unbelievably catchy and is showcases every single one of the boys' voices so well meaning you need to listen to it down below...



Even though Next Town Down have had various success on their YouTube channel, the five-piece only have just over 100,000 subscribers which is way less than they deserve. I would really appreciate it if you went over to their channel and supported their stuff as well as streaming their song "Good Times" online; Next Town Down are incredible so please join me in getting them the respect they deserve!

Song Of The Week :
One of my favourite ever artists released a new song last week and I cannot explain how in love with it I am! The song is called "Ego" and it is by the gorgeous Ella Eyre with a feature from Ty Dolla $ign. The song is so catchy and it features some incredible vocals alongside a great message. I am honestly so happy that Ella Eyre is starting to break into the top 40 this year (first with "Came Here For Love" with Sigala and now this) because she is such an underrated artist that needs some long-awaited attention. Please support this song as it is definitely my current favourite.

So I hope you enjoyed today's post, next week I shall be uploading a post showing the best five albums released so far this year so get prepared for that!
