A week or two after my round up of my predictions for the big 4 awards at the upcoming Grammy Awards I now look to the genre specific categories. Kicking things off are Pop and Country. 2013 has seen some huge records in both these genres. (As always Red is my prediction, Blue is my … Continue reading
The end of the year is fast approaching, which means one thing; It’s nearly awards season! The Grammy Awards are a guilty pleasure of mine. As much as I know the selection process is wonky and the awards themselves can be a tiring slog I can’t help but spend months predicting which artists will be … Continue reading
10) Bruno Mars – Unorthodox Jukebox Plagued by a December release, I doubt Bruno Mars’ second album will appear on many critic’s end of year lists.

Next batch of Brit Award nominees. Less awards to choose this time round, but still as many tough decisions and baffling omissions from the nominees. International Male A definite two horse race here, there’s one deserving winner, and one who isn’t. Eminem and Kanye West have both received this award three times before so whoever … Continue reading
20) Example – Won’t Go Quietly One of the first songs I ever considered for an end of year list on release near the start of 2010, Won’t Go Quietly is Example’s best single so far. With a thumping bassline and meaningless but catchy lyrics, this club smash felt fresh all year. 19) Bruno Mars … Continue reading
