Music Artists That Deserve More Credit Than They Get

There are a lot of talented artists in today's music industry. However, not all of them are well known. In fact, most of the artist that aren't as popular have been around for quite a long time. Here are two music artists that I believe don't get a lot of credit or are not as popular as they should be.

1. WALK THE MOON
WALK THE MOON is a somewhat popular band of four guys that have had a couple of popular songs including "Shut Up And Dance" and a more recent one called "One Foot." The band started in 2006 but did not release their first studio album, "I Want! I Want!" until 2010. From then they released a self-titled album in 2012, "Talking Is Hard" in 2014, and "What If Nothing" towards the end of 2017. The song "One Foot" came from their latest album and has surpassed the view count of their other hit song "Shut Up And Dance." I have been a fan of WALK THE MOON for quite a while now and it is nice to see that they are finally getting some more fans.

2. Logic
Logic has had incredible success in the past couple of months with his release of his hit song "1-800-273-8255." The song features Alessia Cara and Khalid and talks about how it is very common and normal to struggle with mental disorders. The title of the song is the Suicide Prevention Hotline number because he wanted to let all of the listeners know that it was ok to get help and have a gateway to recovery from these mental disorders. Logic performed on the 2017 VMA's and at the end of his song, he gave a speech talking about his struggles with depression and anxiety. Logic's latest album, "Everybody," also has many other "positive messages about humanity and survival."
