New Music: LOVER

It’s hard to describe this other than to call it soft indie pop with an eclectic and raw edge.

New Music: Miraa May

Looking through previous posts, all I can see from Miraa May that’s been featured on Alfitude was a random post back in 2013 where she performed for a Google segment. 

So it’s pretty awesome to see the evolution (albeit five years later) of her talent becoming a sort of new-Amy Winehouse vibe. She’s also has some tracks produced by Salaam Remi… Can’t get any better really.

The longlist for BBC Sound of 2019 was announced today…

… and as usual, its both predictable and surprising in equal measures. The poll is still an influential indicator as to what the mass population will be listening to in the coming year.

There’s a strong shift on solo acts this year, and more so weighing heavily on soul, RnB and rap. I can’t tell who will win, but I’d like to see Grace Carter, Ella Mai, Mahalia or Rosalia get to the top… I also sense that Octavian could do very well (although he’s never ended up on the site).

The winner is revealed on the 11th January, and you can read more about the finalists over on BBC.
