BLOG: BBC SOUND OF 2014

The "longlist" this year features some names of regular occurrence in my library, namely in BANKS, Sampha and FKA twigs – all of whom are each guaranteed to enjoy big 2014s and I'm so stoked for the new year. Other artists that spring to attention are Jungle, who share Chess Club record label with of course MØ (who I would personally have at the top of my list), Kelela and Say Lou Lou. HAIM were the big winners for 2013, basically reaching superstardom over the past 12-18 months and you know full well how ecstatic I've been with CHVRCHES' rise in the industry as well. The BBC are still looking to be ahead of the game, and good on them, and I look forward to seeing how this selected class will fare next.
