I Prevail, Natalie La Rose & Catfish and the Bottlemen: Emerging Picks of the Week

"Somebody" – Natalie La Rose featuring Jeremih
Another Hot 100 No. 1 hit ties into this week's Emerging Artists chart as Natalie La Rose and Jeremih draw inspiration from Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" for "Somebody." The pop/R&B track revives the carefree feeling of Houston's song, but updates the lyrics to celebrate a club-inspired romance as Jeremih breezes through the catchy chorus, "I wanna rock with somebody/ I wanna take shot with somebody." La Rose, a Flo Rida protégé, glides through her verses determined to keep the party alive, "at the end of the night, when our love's going out, we turn down, oh no we won't." Listeners definitely wanted the party to continue, as the track notched more than 330,000 worldwide views on YouTube since Dec. 22. Thanks to the attention, "Somebody" starts off at No. 32 on the Emerging Artists chart.

"Kathleen" – Catfish and the Bottlemen
If all the good music comes from the United Kingdom these days, add Catfish and the Bottlemen to the roster of the country's impressive acts. The Welsh indie-rock band douses "Kathleen" with a classic rock smothering of guitars as lead singer Ryan Van McCann wails and punches his way through the lyrics chronicling a tug-of-war of feelings that the object of his affection provokes, "I've gotta give it to you/ You give me problems/ And made me give in to you." Catfish and the Bottlemen amassed critical acclaim for their 2014 release, The Balcony, culminating in the BBC Introducing prize for best new act at the inaugural BBC Music Awards. "Kathleen" certainly stuck with listeners, who have watched the official music video nearly 1 million times since its debut in March 2014. The Bottlemen's breakthrough sends "Kathleen" to a No. 36 debut on this week's chart, while its parent album The Balcony enters at No. 9 on Alternative Albums.
