Following their breakout 2016 EP Outgrown Things, the group cemented a singular sound on their 2017 full-length debut, Feel Something. Eclipsing 40 million total streams by 2020, it immediately connected by way of "Daylilly" [11.1 million Spotify streams], "Full Circle" [6.1 million Spotify streams], and "Colorblind" [5.5 million Spotify streams]. Along the way, the four-piece received acclaim from Brooklyn Vegan, AXS, Rock Sound, Culture Collide, and more. In between packing shows worldwide, they joined forces with Alzheimer's Association for the "Deadly Dull" video and covered "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. for the Songs that Saved My Life compilation. During 2019, Movements entered the studio with longtime producer and frequent collaborator Will Yip [Title Fight, Turnover] to record No Good Left To Give. Movements spent the most time they ever had in the studio, which resulted in the most collaborative effort to date with Yip, adding another dimension to their music. Now, just a couple weeks after the release of their new album, the beloved Fearless Records act is teaming up with Ones To Watch and The Noise to showcase their talent as part of Live Nation's Artist Of The Week.&nbsp; &nbsp; Learn more about Movements <a href="https://www.bringthenoise.com/blog/tag/movements">here</a>.September 16th - Lauren Sanderson<iframe src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFOB_8mAyIq/embed" width="500" height="580" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>Lauren Sanderson has always sought means to speak her truth. Never one to commit to the traditional nine-to-five life, Sanderson began work as a motivational speaker after graduating high school, traveling around giving TED Talks - but she soon discovered this lifestyle wasn't for her. &ldquo;At schools I felt like I couldn't be my full self," says the artist. "I couldn't dress how I wanted, I couldn't cuss, couldn't talk about coming out, having a girlfriend... I don't know, it just felt like I couldn't tell the real story." So, she turned to art.Sanderson began her rap career in 2016 with the release of her EP Center of Expression. Via her tour supporting the project, the artist shared her raw authenticity and fervor for wearing her personality on her sleeve with a widespread audience, garnering a loyal following that helped the Indiana native independently boost her 2018 album Spaces to #1 on the R&amp;B iTunes chart.So far, 2019 has seen the unapologetic rap empress support Chase Atlantic on their PHASES North American tour and release a series of singles ahead of her highly-anticipated debut album, Midwest Kids Can Make It Big. Undoubtedly one of the most promising hip-hop upstarts, keep an eye out from more unrepentant storytelling from Lauren Sanderson.Learn more about Lauren Sanderson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.onestowatch.com/blog/keedron-bryant-i-just-wanna-live">HERE</a>September 2nd - Keedron Bryant<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/livenation-prod-assets/uploads/artistoftheweek-1080x1080-keedron-bryant.jpg" alt="Artistoftheweek 1080x1080 Keedron Bryant" width="1080" height="1080" />Keedron Bryant touched hearts all over the world when a clip of his song "I Just Wanna Live" went viral on social media just one day after the murder of George Floyd. The video features the 12-year-old singer in a "Black Intelligence" tee, as he peers straight into the camera and sings, "I'm a young Black man / Doing all that I can / To stand."Bryant's spine-tingling acapella video reached millions of people, receiving nods from Barack Obama, Lebron James, Lupita Nyong'o, and more. Now, the young singer has signed with Warner Records and released a full version of "I Just Wanna Live."&nbsp;The studio version of the song stays true to Bryant's heart-rending original, featuring the same heavenly vocal runs from the video. Producer Dem Jointz adds a hypnotizing bass line and evocative horn embellishments to the track, rounding out Bryant's powerful delivery with a soulful instrumental.There are countless adjectives with which one could describe "I Just Wanna Live:" bone-chilling, empowering, gut-wrenching - the list goes on. Perhaps the most awe-inspiring aspect is the sheer self-awareness and emotional intelligence that &nbsp;Bryant employs in his performance.&nbsp;Though the lyrics were written by his mother, Johnetta Bryant, it is clear that Keedron possesses a deep understanding of what it means to be Black in America. Lines like, "Every day I'm being hunted as prey" and "No matter where I be / there's no place safe for me," highlight the heartbreaking burden of survival that the world has placed on Black children.Learn more about Keedron Bryant <a href="https://www.onestowatch.com/blog/keedron-bryant-i-just-wanna-live">HERE</a>August 26th - Laura Marano<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/livenation-prod-assets/uploads/artistoftheweek-1080x1080-lauramarano.jpg" alt="Artistoftheweek 1080x1080 Lauramarano" width="1080" height="1080" />Laura Marano is a polymath after our hearts. The classically-trained singer songwriter is most well known as "Ally" on the Disney Channel series "Austin &amp; Ally" but it's time for her music to take center stage.

Skye is continuing to broaden her horizons with the production and adaptation of her music, working with London-based producers Ari Pensmith and P2J, as well as the illustrious James Fauntleroy to inhibit such growth.&nbsp;Justine Skye's remarkable talent doesn't end with her superior vocal skills.
