Rag'NBone is definitely something the BBC will fanwank over for a year so he'll clearly win.

Can't wait to see if anyone manages to reach the global megastardom of Jack Garratt

Sound of 2016 give us THE Dua Lipa, it wasn't all bad.

Truwe

Anderson .Paak is brilliant, hope he makes the top five but I think he's destined to the same level of "kinda" fame as the likes of Danny Brown, A$AP Rocky, Run the Jewels etc.

Dave is a shoe-in for the top five because he's already with Drake and all that jazz and if there's anything music won't shut the **** up about it's Drake. I'm not that blown away by him but then I'm not really a fan of British stuff like that anyway.

Cabbage sound like...noise.

I like Ray Blk, The Japanese House, Declan McKenna and Nadia Rose. Oh and Raye <3

This is obviously going to Rag N Bone Man though, he's got the same team pushing him as Emeli Sande, James Bay etc. That very boring overplayed "ITV adverts" sound.

Nadia Rose :love:

Rag and Bone can disappear

Omg Nad Rose was on this song

I knew her voice was familiar

..I'm fine with Rag N Bone Man..:lovedup:..I kind of feel as though I discovered him last year when LemonJames was doing his sound of 2015 so my royalties are way overdue.../kerching baby..:love:...

Davey

Spotify put up a playlist of 2 of their singles each and from what I've listened to those I'd be interested in listening to more of are

Anderson.Paek
Declan McKenna
Maggie Rogers
Raye
Nadia Rose
Stefflon Don
The Amazons
Japanese House

The rest are just noise or a genre that just doesn't appeal to me.

Dave and AJ :lovedup:

Nadia Rose :love: :love:

Maggie :love: Jorja :love: AJ :love: Nadia :love:

Oh apparently they started revealing them yesterday?

5th ~ Nadia Rose
4th ~ Jorja Smith

I imagine the other 3 will be Raye, Rag N Bone & AJ Tracey.

Nadia robbed

Declan McKenna, Anderson.Paak, and Raye <3

Yep. 3rd was Raye.

yay raye <3

i'll assume the last token gesture spot will go to Dave and then the obvious Ragu Bowman win

Rag n Bone is 2nd.


Has to be Dave or Aj then. Great stuff if so.

Ray BLK won

Erm

Smh. Skeppy didn't blow for this. :laugh:

dave robbed

two birds no stones track of the year
