A nice list - Stereogum chooses 40 musicians who have done "something... in the past year that makes us feel like they’ve reached or are about to reach their full potential". It's not really a global list - the vast majority is American, and a few come from the UK or Australia - but still, it's quite colorful. The full list: Age Of Apocalypse, Anxious, Blackbraid, Caroline, Chat Pile, Dazy, Dijon, Doechii, DOMi & JD Beck, Dummy, Dust Star, Ethel Cain, Fugitive, Glorilla, High Vis, Jane Inc, Jane Remover, Jockstrap, King Hannah, Knifeplay, LF System, Lowertown, Maria BC, Mess Esque, MSPAINT, Naima Bock, Pool Kids, Rachika, Nayar, Rat Tally, Ripped To Shreds, Romero, RXK Nephew, Saucy Santana, Scowl, They Are Gutting A Body Of Water, Trapland Pat, Undeath, Why Bonnie, Zoh Amba, and ZORA.

ol #1 Dark Blue' by London band Caroline is nice, psychedelic folk floating on a violin; 'A Thousand Words' is some arty-pop by Jay Som; Pearl Jam released an animated video for their new song 'Superblood Wolfmoon'; Neck of the Woods play progy death metal on 'Vision Loser'; instrumental trio Vasudeva play psycho/post-rock on 'Breaks'; jazz-pop singer-songwriter and violinist Joe Kye advocates for immigrant families on 'Stick on Me', a great video to go with.
