Posted November 20, 20159 yr Who do you think will be on the BBC's list for the Sound of 2016? Jack Garratt, Mura Masa and Nao all seem like likely inclusions based on their recent R1 support. Not sure who else.
November 20, 20159 yr Shakka is a definite for me. There's normally a token rapper included - Bonkaz, J Hus and Yungen have recently been signed by major labels, so they could be chosen. Lean & Bop is just :wub:. Snakehips have made some great music this year (including Buzzjack fave 'All My Friends') and have a debut album out next year. They have a good chance of being included.
November 20, 20159 yr Mm let's have a go- ~ Jack Garratt ~ Dua Lipa ~ Spring King ~ Nao ~ Loyle Carner ~ The Japanese House ~ Shakka ~ Rationale ~ Alessia Cara ~ Frances ~ Kiko Bun ~ Blossoms ~ Izzy Bizu ~ Mura Masa ~ Hinds I'd like to see Zibra & Wet grab a spot somewhere also!
November 20, 20159 yr Nao is sure to be included on their long list - need to have a dig around to find some more predictions. Love this time of the year when 'new' music for 2016 is all the talk on forums and blogs. Jack Garratt is already receiving the BBC Introducing prize at the BBC Music Awards - I'd like to think that honour excludes him from being long listed. I think it's a given he's going to do well next year with his album in January - and the BBC are already championing him.

November 21, 20159 yr Author Firefly should have been a huge #1 in the summer, my favourite dance song of the year easily. That was going to be my entry to BJSC 75 before I discovered David was sending another Mura Masa song! Låpsley She was on this year's list :P
November 22, 20159 yr Jack Garratt Mura Masa Nao Bugzy Malone Anne Marie Would be my guesses Some tip lists have gone early Vevo have published theirs and a blog (Breaking More Waves) is putting up a good list one each day this week
November 23, 20159 yr What is with the names of acts these days? I'd kill for a definite article somewhere.
November 24, 20159 yr Jack Garratt, Frances and Izzy Bizu up for the BRITs Critics Choice, good chance they'll feature on this list then?
November 24, 20159 yr Jack Garrett will be next sure James Bay/Sam Smith. Haven't heard much from the other two!
November 24, 20159 yr That was going to be my entry to BJSC 75 before I discovered David was sending another Mura Masa song! What a huge missed opportunity, I reckon it would have performed a lot better in the contest :(
November 25, 20159 yr What is with the names of acts these days? I'd kill for a definite article somewhere. Suede managed perfectly well without one. OTOH, The The went in completely the opposite direction.
November 25, 20159 yr Jack Garratt, Frances and Izzy Bizu up for the BRITs Critics Choice, good chance they'll feature on this list then? Jack Garratt, really? That's pretty irritating, given how much support the BBC have been giving him already this year; but I guess Critics Choice doesn't necessarily mean Sound of... support (see Emeli Sande).
November 25, 20159 yr What a huge missed opportunity, I reckon it would have performed a lot better in the contest :( SORRY :( (I much preferred Lovesick f*** but my taste has been all over the place lately)
November 25, 20159 yr SORRY :( (I much preferred Lovesick f*** but my taste has been all over the place lately) If it helps your current BJSC entry is really great, but I've never been able to click with Lovesick f*** :(
