Of all the Unsigned and DIY recording artists we critiqued this year, here are the absolute best—our 25 highest scorers as well as an extra 18 Top Prospects. Each total score you see is based on the merits of production, lyrics, music, vocals and musicianship. MC invites all unsigned recording artists who want to be critiqued in a national magazine to send us material in 2014 by first checking out “Get Reviewed” at http://www.musicconnection.com.
