While everyone's busy doling out their best-of 2009 lists, BBC has just revealed a teaser for the forthcoming year -- the longlist for BBC's Sound of 2010. The annual poll showcases 15 of the supposedly hottest musical acts each year. Cherry-picked by 165 UK-based tastemakers, these 15 acts are set to make waves in 2010. And by that I mean they are going to sell more records than their counterparts.
It is great to see Ellie Goulding and Marina and the Diamonds make the cut since I've heard so much from them this year. As expected, Owl City is on it but I'm not a fan of his (read: cheesy lyrics). There's Gold Panda and Two Door Cinema Club though I'm not really acquainted with their music as of yet. Guess I will be hearing a lot more from them in '10.
