This time of year is choc full of retrospective playlists and articles. We’re looking forwards into next year and not back into 2016 with our YMR Watch List for 2017.
Looking back at who we listed for 2016’s Watch List, we hit the nail on the head with a fair number of artists that we thought would be on the rise, from the likes of Leon Bridges, Lion Babe, Jack Garratt and more. We are also keeping watchful eyes on Set Mo, Gallant, Throttle and Marie Dahlstrøm who we have rolled over again on this this year’s list as they are going to be truly on the rise.
Check out our 25 artist playlist below and keep your eyes and ears on this lot in 2017.
