Posted December 12, 20195 yr https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50741299 The longlist for the BBC Sound of 2020 has been revealed! And I think it's their best one in years. Arlo Parks Beabadoobee Celeste Easy Life Georgia Inhaler Joesef Joy Crookes Squid Yungblud Would love to see Bea, Easy Life, Inhaler, Squid or Yungblud take it.
December 12, 20195 yr I feel pretty lukewarm on this list, beabadoobee would probably be my pick from the bunch in terms of being consistently good I guess, Georgia also has potential but 'Never Let You Go' is the only song I've really loved from her. Also like what I have heard from Easy Life and Squid. Unfortunately think it'll almost certainly be YUNGBLUD winning. Maybe Celeste has a chance too based on her winning the BRITs Rising Star.
December 12, 20195 yr Yungblud/Georgia/Celeste are the only well known ones from that! I think Easy Life are also some what known now! My friends certainly know who they are anyway, probably more than Celeste.
December 12, 20195 yr The people on these lists aren't really supposed to be well-known lol ~ I think I've heard at least one song by all of these except Inhaler and Joesef.
December 12, 20195 yr Author Inhaler are worth a listen, my fave song is Ice Cream Sundae. The lead singer is the son of Bono.
December 12, 20195 yr Author I'm not a fan of U2 at all, but it didn't stop me giving them a listen. There's still 3 other members not related to him :P
December 12, 20195 yr I think Easy Life are also some what known now! My friends certainly know who they are anyway, probably more than Celeste. I've never heard of them, have they been playlisted yet on radio 1?
December 12, 20195 yr The people on these lists aren't really supposed to be well-known lol ~ I think I've heard at least one song by all of these except Inhaler and Joesef. I know but Georgia and Yungblud especially have been heavily played by Radio 1 this year. That's normal though!
December 12, 20195 yr I've never heard of them, have they been playlisted yet on radio 1? They're on the B-List right now with 'Nice Guys' :P they've had 2 songs playlisted by R1 this year, both of them were pretty good.
December 12, 20195 yr Author Easy Life also have a very good song 'Sangria' with fellow nominee Arlo Parks.
December 12, 20195 yr They're on the B-List right now with 'Nice Guys' :P they've had 2 songs playlisted by R1 this year, both of them were pretty good. Shows how much I listen to the new additions nowadays that I didn't realise, must check them out!
December 17, 20195 yr I know and like most of this list, which makes a change. Easy Life they recently sold out a tour playing about a dozen 1.5-2.5k venues and have a song with 12m Spotify streams, that feels pretty big for something like this. I'd love it if Georgia has some success next year :heart: Edited December 17, 20195 yr by RabbitFurCoat
December 25, 20195 yr My faves from the list are Georgia, Squid and Celeste (plus Joy Crookes and Easy Life)
