This month we celebrate our 8th year anniversary and we are so thrilled
to still be here and doing what we love. Thanks so much to everyone who
has made this possible, in the coming weeks we will be running contests
and have a few special postings about our eight years as a music site!
In the meantime, we have a special announcement, this year we need your help picking our "Best New Artist" award. We began giving
away a "Best New Artist" superlative in 2011 after James Blake's stunning debut blew us away, we felt he needed more than just a number slot on our Top 10 Albums of the Year list.
In the past, winners have included James Blake, The Heartbreaks, The 1975, and now, it will be whoever you pick!
Now, as so many new artists have come out in 2014 and released a debut
record / EP that has stunned us in so many ways, we want to hear from you to
help us decide who the "Best New Artist of 2014" is. At the top of our
site you will see a poll where you can cast your vote for one of our
five nominees who are:
- Arca
- Ratking
- Royal Blood
- FKA Twigs
- Bobby Schmurda
Between now and December 1, cast your vote and the artist with the most votes will be announced in December as to who the winner and artist who claims this years title of "Best New Artist."
