Lightning Surlaw - BBC Sound of 2021 - The Reveal!

Nicely divided already, will more people be with lassy and ASLB, or with Arghus?

OK folks - I'm sat in the dark in the toddler's room, hopefully the munchkin settles and lets me crack on here...

Griff, Say It Again
Nice voice, another one that sounds vaguely familiar, like it's reminding me of someone else but I can't think who. This one's a grower, the song itself didn't really grab me initially but picked up by the end, and on the second full listen it clicked. Very nice.

Getting London Grammar vibes from this one, voice isn't as deep but musically this is who this is reminding me of. The synth at 2:17 picks it up a bit, could've done without the Imogen Heap-esque vocoder bit after but that's only a small part. On first listen this was the only one I could imagine myself putting on a playlist for regular listening. Actually, on second listen, I'm thinking Lorde now moreso than London Grammar. Either way, very good track
