Elton John Instagram – 2023 has been a fantastic year for new artists and great songs. There’s been a lot of upcoming artists like David Kushner, Chappell Roan, HotWax, The Last Dinner Party and Elmiene. All fantastic artists and all artists to watch out for next year. We’ve had soulful sounds from artists like Jalen Ngonda, ANOHNI and Gabriels. There’s been a lot of great women this year like Baby Queen, Mitski, LOONY and boygenius. They’re ruling the roost at the moment. You go, girls. And of course there’s been some great dance tracks from artists like CamelPhat and Ali Love, Romy, and The Chemical Brothers. We always like to dance around the room at the end of the show, and these people are making us move! Thank you to all of you for the music and I can’t wait to hear more in 2024.
