The following are the stars that ENCOMIUM Weekly expects to light up the music scene with mind blowing songs in 2014.
 see full list below:





                                                             
1. HARRY SONG
Harrysongs rewarded Kcee for freeing him from the clutches Questionmark Records where his career had stalled by ghostwriting his album and delivering the massive hit, Limpopo.

After Kcee’s successful album, the focus has shifted to Harrysongs and with his Tribute To Mandela song clinching an award for being the Most Downloaded Callertune on MTN, 2014 might just be his year to blow.

 2.SEAN TIZZLE
  All eyes will surely be on Sean Tizzle after his break-away success last year. He smiled home with a brand new Hyundai lx 35 SUV which came with his Next Rated Award at the 2013 Headies.
Past winners of this category, like Wande Coal, Wizkid and Omawumi have gone on to establish themselves as mainstays in the industry and Sean Tizzle shouldn’t be an exception. The stage is set for the Sho Lee crooner to build on last year’s success with his latest work, Komole enjoying rave reviews and massive airplay.




  


                                                                                         
                                                                                            
3.SEYI SHAY
The fact that Sheyi Shay missed out on the Headies 2013 Next Rated Award to Sean Tizzle takes nothing away from the talented singer. She’s got everything, from sex appeal, perfect stage performance, powerful vocals to beauty. The Irawo crooner has already started the year on a bright note after dropping her Ragga Ragga video and there’s definitely more from where that came from. One of her strongest points is her stage performance which proves she’s a natural. More videos are expected from her and possibly her debut album would be released this year.
