BBC Music Have Released Their Sound Of 2019 Longlist And We’re Seriously Struggling To Pick Out A Favourite

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

We’re well and truly in the midst of ‘Best of 2018’ lists; so, to mix things up a bit, why not switch to trying to figure out who’s going to be the star of 2019 instead? After all, that’s precisely what the BBC have done; and, given the sheer quantity of jaw-dropping talent that they’ve managed to cram into their Sound of 2019 longlist, we wouldn’t be surprised if they turn out to have hit the nail square on the head.

You can check out the full list below, and be sure to check back at the start of January when the Beeb will be revealing who’ll be following in Sigrid‘s footsteps as the holder of the Sound of… title for the next twelve months:
