If young musicians and creatives live in a country where they don’t feel as though a career in music is a possibility then of course there will a void of new exciting acts. The U.K. values its world class, groundbreaking talent so little, it’s depressing.
Genuinely sad to see a void of breakthrough U.K. acts on the sound poll this year. Trying to make it look like it’s been a good year by putting already established acts on it. This very much feels like the product of years of cultural neglect in this country sadly.
'heaven in your arms' with @JessieWare is the hottest record on @BBCR1 this week, it premieres this evening at 6:30 uk time and will be available everywhere straight after 🤍
