When it comes to picking who's going to blow up in 2014, Joel Compass is looking like an obvious choice. Leading the UK R&B revival as the genre begins to find new, credible stars, Compass has a talent for intimate song writing and a penchant for dazzling production.

The youngster has been heralded as a British version of The Weeknd, but but he is every bit his own artist, building his own signature style rather than looking to others, exhbiting a fresh attitude in his songwriting capabilities. Speaking of new single 'Run' Compass explains that rather than it being about a girl it is inspired by his own relationship with his father and where it has led them.
