Nessa Barrett
Artist
Nessa’s creative evolution on AFTERCARE has ushered her into an extravagantly bold age. The 22-year-old, who has accumulated over 2 BILLION global streams and 30 MILLION followers across social platforms to date, has been named one of Billboard’s “21 Under 21” twice, been featured on Forbes’ “Top Creators: Fashion 50,” Uproxx’s “Next Hitmakers List,” People magazine’s “Emerging Artist List,” and Ones to Watch’s list of “25 Artists to Watch in 2022,” and who has been the face of Nasty Gal, Steve Madden, and SKIMS, has always found ways to access the light. On her electro-pop sophomore album AFTERCARE, Nessa seductively takes us to the dancefloor on a journey from desperation to domination. With lead single “PASSENGER PRINCESS” a synth-heavy anthem of infatuation, and sultry album lead “MUSTANG BABY FT. ARTEMAS”, Nessa is exploring new sonics and expanding her dark romance brand of pop to new heights. In 2023, Nessa sold over 83,000 tickets spanning 60 tour dates on her inaugural world tour, including festival appearances at ACL Main Stage, Reading & Leeds and Pukkelpop. Nessa continues to showcase her versatility and elevation to develop another dimension of her artistry.

Ariana Grande
Armed with a mesmerizing, nimble soprano—and a vocal register often likened to Mariah Carey’s and Christina Aguilera’s—Ariana Grande began her career as a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon before transforming into a pop and R&B powerhouse. Instantly recognizable thanks to her signature ponytail, cat ears, babydoll dresses, and breezy self-confidence, her slyly sexual personal brand has, like that of the Spice Girls before her, become an iconic image of young female power. But Grande is more than a symbol: Over the course of several albums and scores of hit singles—beginning with 2013’s “The Way” (featuring Mac Miler) through The Weeknd-assisted “Love Me Harder” and “Break Free” (featuring Zedd)—she has consistently outshined her male collaborators and deftly parlayed her stardom into activism. An LGBTQ advocate and outspoken feminist (“I’m tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present, or future PROPERTY,” she tweeted in 2016), she uses her platform to confront issues like misogyny, sexism, homophobia, and bullying, spreading a message of love over all. Nowhere was this more clear than in May 2017: After terrorists attacked her concert in Manchester, England, killing 22 and injuring hundreds, Grande continued her tour. "Perspective changes your life,” she told Beats 1’s Ebro Darden. "You want to stay in the moment and try not to give into fear, because obviously the whole point of finishing the tour was being there for my fans. You want to set the same example and keep going.” And that she did: Her Max Martin-produced smash “No Tears Left to Cry,” an escapist dance-floor triumph released a year after the attack, sends a message of hope and healing, with a dose of hear-me-roar attitude.
