Today we're covering music.
Favourite breaking artist of the year:
Premonitions was surely the most casually announced debut album ever? But when you've been quietly releasing songs as strong as 'God is a woman', 'Talking with strangers' and 'Deadbody' for the past year and a bit, you can afford to be confident. Folick is going to be a stealth artist I think, creeping up on people...
Favourite video of the year
There's some subtle Handmaid's Tale stuff going on in this video... Making it very timely as well as very powerful.
Favourite gig of the year
As discussed previously, I didn't write a gig review, I wrote a fan essay instead. If you'd like to read a proper review, you can do so here.
Artist to watch in 2019
One of this years BBC Introducing alumni, and a sharply acerbic artist with great attitude and beats. Worth keeping an eye on if 'Taken Care Of' and 'Teenage Witch' are anything to go by.
