Of all the unsigned and DIY recording artists we listened to during the past year, here are the absolute best––our 25 highest scorers, as well as an extra Top 20 Prospects who are too talented to ignore. Each score you see is based on the merits of production, lyrics, music, vocals and musicianship. Music Connection welcomes all unsigned recording artists who want to be reviewed in a national magazine to check out musicconnection.com/reviews/get-reviewed.
