Check out a track from Finnish pop star ALMA’s upcoming album (Show Thursday)

Charli XCX’s 2018 mixtape Pop 2 introduced us to a new world of future and current fringe pop stars, from the known (Carly Rae Jepsen, Tove Lo) to the mostly unknown (Kim Petras, Tommy Cash). ALMA made her mark on the first single “Out Of My Head” alongside Tove Lo after a number of hits in her native Finland. With her debut album due out later this year, ALMA dropped her 3rd advance single “Bad News Baby” following a string of writing credits and collaborations including Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa. “Bad News Baby” is a high energy modern pop track that puts her right up along her list of past collaborators as a future breakout pop star. Catch her now as an opener before we see her playing the big shows of her own in the US soon.
