We live in a world now where music plays a bigger part than ever in our everyday lives. In this digital age of music, it's nigh on impossible to escape the latest music crazes, adverts for Spotify and "ones to watch" lists that tell us all what we should be listening to. But that's sort of how we like it. It's easier now than ever to access, listen to, buy or download music at the touch of a button and consequently, it's a lot easier for artists to get their names out their and make something of themselves. Across the decades, we've seen some truly wonderful musicians come and go. While there will always be those who yearn desperately for yesteryear and complain non-stop about the inherently manufactured nature of popular music these days and how artists had a lot more integrity "back in my day", it can easily be argued that the last 10 years has seen the uprising of some of the most promising talent we could ever have hoped for, and that's exactly what we're here to talk about. Turn the page to begin our (by no means exhaustive) list of ten artists who have risen to fame in the last 10 years and have gone towards proving beyond question that this past decade has been a truly fantastic one - arguably the best - as far as music is concerned.
